This doesn’t necessarily mean the US has less PHDs available

It actually does. That's how math works. If you have X - 10,000, your result is less than X

Calling it a war now is disingenuous. The war ended. Israel did not hold up their end of the bargain. They continue to unilaterally slaughter Palestinians, regardless of their affiliation

The change there was that it could use both tracks and roads, allowing it more transit flexibility

The innovation wasn't as much technical as it was logistical

Why would you use NY Post OP? It's one of the most biased rags out there

Kind of surprising he pled out, considering he had decent odds for jury nullification. Wonder what kind of deal he was offered

Brian Thompson, through his words and actions, caused the deaths of thousands of people

I'm not taking a stance on the moraloty of his murder, but is it even a tiny bit surprising people believe he deserved it given that fact?

Murder via a pen may generally be tolerated by society, but that isn't universal

This article feels like fucking propaganda, with how much they avoided saying the source of the outbreak: Taylor Farms

They mention a dozen stores and restaurants, but wait many paragraphs before mentioning Taylor Farms, which they call Taylor Fresh Foods, which us a subsidiary

I guess we’ll see who is right in a month or two.

It didn't take a month or two. As part of negotiations, Iran is now also demanding the wars in Gaza and Lebanon end

ICE is not TSA. They're both under DHS, but that's where the similarity ends

Further, not even the TSA can compel airlines to do cooperate in an arrest

From that perspective, it's an amazing idea. Makes you wonder why it hasn't happened

From the propsective of the ultra-wealthy though, it will cost them 1 trillion in profits. Then you realize why they fight it so much

The underlying idea is news to a lot of people

The Strait of Hormuz is like a nuke Iran can ethically use and un-use at any time. It completely negates any need for an actual nuke. There is no bargaining leverage they would get from a nuke that they don't get from the strait

This is important because it undermines the stated reason for this war: Preventing Iran from having a nuke

Can you explain how you feel it's antisemitic?

Isn't it just a bunch of insults written on the Israeli flag?

That's just a pressure tactic. They're not actually hilding off on talks for years

From a crisis bargaining perspective, it makes perfect sense to say but little sense to actually do

Iran doesn't need to beat the US militarily, it just needs to hold out until Trump loses politically. Saying there will be no talks adds to that pressure. Waiting 3 years leaves too much room for markets to adjust, or the US to find a strategy out of this quagmire

They'll deal when Trump is desperate enough to agree to the bulk of their terms

Edit: Since this will be an unpopular comment without providing some proof

March 23rd: Trump claims deal is close, Iran denies talks are taking place

2 days later...

March 25th: Iran rejects US deal, counters with their own

Both countries lied here, for different reasons. Trump wanted to assauge the markets, Iran wanted to project the stronger bargaining position

Saying there are no talks is a negotiating tactic Iran frequently uses, although we don't need historical precedence to know that's the case. Any rational actor would still engage in negotiations, and Iran has generally acted rationally in this war. They also like to use indirect negotiations to save face, as they did in my example

 

Found at a large chain, so I assume they're selling this slop all over the US

A similar, non-AI slop blanker is $10-12 at Walmart
