Trump's war in Iran is going to sweep us all into the gutter.

@swirlie
Cord wood. How come you know there is such a thing? Do you have a wood burning fireplace?

@swirlie Why would you buy an American designed car, when the Koreans and the Japananese can do it better, cheaper, the Germans can do it way better for the same price and the Chinese can do it as well for half the price. And all of them use less fuel...😷

@whowasthatmaskedman
Very good point. I shall contact my local Dodge Dealer and promptly cancel my order for the 2026 Ram pickup truck with 30 inch wheels, twin-turbocharged 5.2 liter engine I ordered, including 4 wheel drive (which I ordered just in case I get stuck in a sink-hole in downtown Toronto in a rainstorm), which includes the chrome-plated ladder which conveniently extends from the rocker panels to ease in the boarding process whilst wearing my ankle-length, very sparkly, Diana Ross evening dress which of course is worn with high heels, right?

...and which of course includes as part of the order, the standard American gun rack that fits into the back window but will ultimately remain empty in my case since less fearful heads prevail in Canada and open-carry of rifles and machine guns are therefore strictly forbidden here.

But the gun rack would make a good drying rack for swimsuits after a day spent down at the swimming hole with the girls I suppose, so maybe that wasn't such a bad idea to order the gun rack with the Hemi engine as an inclusive package which of course is marketed as "The American Identity Package" straight from the manufacturer.

From here on in, my money is on Korea and Japan. Thanks for the tip! 🛻

@Gibbon
What about your joints at the knee and hip?


Quality of what?

@sree251 nuclear fail safe systems faa and military communication systems and microwave miniature devices. Both electrical and mechanical inspection and functional tests .

I have no joint issues with my legs. I have screwed up three fingers on my left hand however

@sree251 I know this is a matter of personal choice. But wouldnt it be safer to simply be elsewhere when it happened?😷

@whowasthatmaskedman
Where? The entire planet will be affected by the economic depression. No place is safe except off-grid on a vegetable farm.

@sree251 Up to a point thats true. Its complicated. But the crib notes version is that the $US has been artificially kept afloat by prinint money for over a decade now. since "Quantitative Easing"in fact. about 2011. Now thats all very well under Keysian economics, but the rules are it can only go on for so long, it should be aof r a constructive purpose. And the money has to be paid back eventually.
If all three of those conditions arent met, then the debt leaks into the system in the form of diluting the value of the currency. Thats inflation if it happens with the national economy.. Or devaluation of the currency if the nation spends up on imports. Those are just economic facts. And America has broken all three of those rules. The longer you keep printing, the less effective it is in saving the economy..And you reach the point where inflation becomes hyperinflation. America being the international reserve currency and gaming the international banking system allowed it to go on longer than most. But the grip in that title has slipped and the other nations are now buying from each other without paying America a commission. In a recession/depression the volume of trade drops. That hurts everyone.The nations that import more than they export get hurt more.. And the country whose currency fewer people want get hurt the most..America will soon have a drop in domestic comsumption in real terms. Get less revenue for the goods it expoerts and pay more for the goods it imports. Do I need to connect that to employment and conditions and from there to taxation revenue?
America is agoing to be hurt as badly as any other banana republic. Even the Tourism is stuffed..

@BizSuitStacy


Well, I guess now that regime change, freedom for the Iranians and unconditional surrender is off the table you have to try something else.

I really want something to end this thing. t's costing Americans dearly.

@BizSuitStacy
The IRGC did not mine the Strait. Ships are passing through their tool booth. Two US Navy ships tried to sneak through but were warned to not try it. When they stayed on course, the IRGC locked their radar on them and gave a final warning. They turned around and scoot off.

@MoveAlong
Quite right. Something is keeping Trump in office. Ordinarily, he would be removed from office by Congress with support of the Pentagon. Being commander-in-chief, he would be relieved of his command and placed under arrest.

@MarkPaul
Yes, he certainly thinks that the world is his oyster because he has the ability to do anything he wants as US President. Trump is wearing the power of his office like Tony Stark donning his Iron Man suit.
