Nothing is infinite. But fresh water is renewable, which means it can be used sustainably.

What did the US gain in Vietnam?

What did the USSR gain in Afghanistan?

Superpowers have a long history of leaving quagmires with their tails tucked between their legs.

Let's put it this way. There are about 250 McDonald's in NYC. If they were all replaced by an Arby's, there is no way they would be as profitable as the McDonalds were. Arby's cannot match the brand or advertising power of McDonald's.

NYC does not want 250 Arby's, and consequently some - probably most - of the Arby's would close. That certainly would change the lives of those employees.

So, do Russians want Tasty-and-that's-all as much as they wanted McDonald's? I doubt it.

Because it doesn't matter whether the map "looks" fair. It needs to have two majority Black districts to comply with the court order. And those two districts are probably not going to elect Republicans.

That's like saying "This broken iPhone 13 sold on eBay for only $80. That's a big problem."

An LLC paid $25K because the bank owning the home was willing to sell it for $25K. And that's not because the bank hated money. If someone else had been willing to pay more then it would have sold for more. That's how foreclosure auctions work.

Foreclosed homes generally sell for a lot less because the occupant often causes a legal and physical mess and most home buyers are not interested in dealing with it.

It mysteriously acquired an additional window.

I can't stop anyone from doing something I don't like.

But historically, there have been plenty of solutions to stop someone from doing something society doesn't like. For example, execution. Torture. Punishing their relatives. Exile. Prison. And asking them nicely to please stop.

Of those, I think prison is the best option. Putting someone in a cage may seem wrong, but letting them freely murder and rape innocent people is more wrong.

The infrastructure bill was resurrected as the Inflation Reduction Act, which Manchin voted for.

There are EV manufacturers who never made an ICE, like Rivian and Lucid.

Tesla stock is worth more now than when Twitter went private.

And if Musk intended to kill Twitter, he would have simply shut down the servers last year.

What you are seeing is the result of mistakes, not a conspiracy.
