Things are going to get real fucky.

Those in power will be unable to trust each other and their employees even less. We may end up living where we work.

Diseases will be widespread, and no care will be offered to anyone but the privileged.

Famine, likely entirely manufactured, will cause massive amounts of starvation.

Modern conveniences will be slowly lost. Cars will be falling apart because no one can afford mechanics, and the lack of vehicle regulations leads to excessive accidents.

Planes will break up midaire. Widespread blackouts when shit goes sideways. Forget about medicine.

Waterways will be polluted beyond what can be boiled. Breathing in big cities will be hazardous. They will say "efficiency" but not one instance of efficiency will be observable.

Kids showing academic excellence will be abducted and sent to special indoctrination schools so that they can only benefit the regime.

Women will have rights removed. All men will have to do a two year duty in war. Church attendance will be reported to the government.

I have more ideas but I'll stop there

Well let's see, known cat breeds:

Orange, Tuxedo, Standard Issue, Void, Siamese (my parents had a flame point siamese that was weird), naked wrinkly cat, Fluffball.

Think that about covers it.

Edit: Oh yes, Torties and Calicos, and I forgot one I love: Tactical Issue! Some people think they're just sneaky cats. Nope! Grey and white stripes that blend in well with urban environments

Ok so like if China did do that, whats in it for them?

Also, if the price of oil spikes will that cause a market crash that crashes the housing bubble? Seems like this might be a entirely-too-fucked-up way to make housing affordable again.

Walz is governor. His statement is intentional. He needs to be seen as "giving good advice".

He knows it won't stop anyone. Just like during the George Floyd protests. He knows what he's doing.

Hmmm.

So EVs are pretty simple machines. I think we can all agree on that. Like I am not a mechanic and I can work on these things (well maybe not the tires).

But the problem isn't just that a single component in these things sucks, it's the whole design. That being said, the motors, controllers, axles, sensors, etc, can't all be entirely custom. I would be willing to bet there is a fair amount of useful shit we could "borrow" from unsupervised and unwanted cyber trucks to rebuild them into something much much better.

Ah. See, that's how you know you did the right thing.

If their only response is "let us kidnap people or your going to jail!" Then that's a hell of a lot more than the people deported without due process

Zombie Deer Disease makes me a lot more concerned about it than Chronic Wasting Disease.

Pretty much the only people that know about CWD around here are deer hunters because of license requirements.

Zombie Deer Disease makes it a billion times scarier and easier to remember

Those are shit eating grins if I've ever seen one.

Well deserved ones though, I'd say the self satisfaction of delivering Easter baskets full of death to Nazis is one we all should aspire towards

Technically

We don't know who Nichole really is. None of us have met her. She hasn't had a conversation with any of us. She hasnt posted anything, and all she does is say "hi im Nichole from Prussia, im 27 and here's a bunch of spam links"

And it's like not even a remotely attractive pic with a modern camera

It's like dial up AIM chat room spam bot quality
