It is a funny thought given that for most of their time in office they would rather have returned that money to the wealthy.

I agree. Would that the Tories did.

Another advantage/disadvantage of incorporating in Delaware.

This is a case of the the orcs trolling.

Not a matter of luck. Most major U.S. corporations prefer to incorporate in Delaware. For one thing, no jury trials in civil business suits. Saves time and money. Which in most cases corporations prefer. That's one reason why Musk ultimately capitulated to Twitter. His legal counsel knew he didn't have a legitimate case, and while a jury might have been swayed, a judge on the Chancery Court wouldn't have been.

Not since the dawn of supply-side economics has the Republican Party been run by sensible intelligent people. Or at least by people who don't claim to believe that nonsense. and lots of other foolishiness too.

No one has suggested they were coerced. What's your point?

Maybe next time he should put in boldface oversized capital letters: THIS IS A HYPOTHETICAL CASE

You have offered nothing of substance. Apparently, to your way of thinking, not seeing what isn't there is the same as refusing to see. You got nothing.

Better watch out. Nature abhors a vacuum. And your comment here is utterly empty.

I can't believe that the Russians would deliberately put their ships in harm's way given their past experience. Could they be counting on the USA not to provide Ukraine with coordinates? Seems unlikely.

What's interesting is that when word leaked out that a researcher had unearthed and downloaded this data from a Chinese database, the data disappeared from the web shortly thereafter. The Chinese govt has consistently denied that Covid-19 began with them, whether from a lab or from a wet market. At one point they were blaming frozen salmon from the United States as the source.

Total aircraft amount to over 100. Fighter jets are in short supply.

Usually aspersions as to motives have nothing to back them up. But in this case we have actual emails from Carlson that prove your point.

But the thing is, he's so much fun to refute. Look at my last exchange with him. I don't think he came off well. And at least he actually produces some evidence to support his case even if it either doesn't support what he thinks it does or comes from sources that are easy to show are blatantly and dishonestly right wing. He's not like some who just post slogans.

Your views must be extremely right wing if you think Macron is a leftist. And who says it can't be afforded for seniors? There are lots of ways it can be afforded. In the US, there are plenty of sound proposals that involve raising taxes to solve the problem. Of course, if you rule out tax increases, then the problem is not solvable.

Educated or alarmist? But experts note all vehicles use concentrated power sources — whether gasoline, diesel or electricity — making them all vulnerable to ignition. Statistics compiled by AutoInsuranceEZ found that for every 100,000 EVs, there are about 25 fires each year. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2022/10/26/electric-vehicle-fires-florida-flooding-what-happened/10553207002/#:~:text=But experts note all vehicles,about 25 fires each year. What's more, LFP batteries are rapidly growing in popularity EV Battery Market: LFP Chemistry Reached 31% Share In September https://insideevs.com/news/628303/ev-battery-lfp-share-september2022/ And they are far less likely to burn than Lithium batteries formulated with cobalt and either nickel or aluminium. LiFePO4 Batteries: The Future of All Vehicles LFP batteries are thermally and chemically stable; hence they are less likely to explode or catch fire. LFP produces one-sixth the heat of nickel-rich NMC. Because the Co-O bond is stronger in LFP batteries, oxygen atoms are released more slowly if short-circuited or overheated.

ICE vehicles have been around for over a hundred years.

Given that the Russians have openly said they are attempting to retrieve the drone, it looks like you disagree with them as well.

I've heard of war crimes? But I don't think stating the obvious fact about what Russia is up to instead of calling it a special military operation is any rational person's idea of a war crime.

Good to see that as an indepdent thinker you subscribe wholeheartedly to the Russian version of events. A country that makes it a crime to call a war a war.

Sad to see others who believe they are independent rational thinkers but in fact are only following their own ideological prejudices.

How is this germane to the fact that Ukraine simply doesn't have enough aircraft?

Because if money is to be made out of an endeavor, that means the endeavor is illegitimate? Got any more trite observations to share with us? Going to motive is the last resort of someone who's got little to offer. And I've read many allegations about Russia's suicidal tendencies. But i've never seen a convincing refutation of where do you draw the line against Russia and it's potential nuclear threats.

What do you think that proves apart from the fact that, among other things, Ukraine's air force was simply too small and it didn't have enough other armaments?
