It’s just capitalism, baby! Just a business arrangement between two close personal friends in the oil industry. No need to get democracy involved.

USMCA in shambles

Taiwan, lolz

It’s how we ended up with Hillary back in '16. She wrapped herself in her resume and screamed at anyone who questioned what she was doing while on the job.

currently have my first two books published

These fuckers all have a book out. Every single one of them feel the urge to republish the same six self help tips, nestled within some sophomoric hagiography of their childhood.

The point is the UK could have done the same with their North Sea oil.

They could still do it with their highly lucrative network of wind farms under construction.

Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn in debt

The UK has accumulated plenty of valuable capital in this period and spends a sizeable chunk of that accrued debt protecting it.

In the 1980s, the Kenyan government tried to launch its own locally made car brand called Nyayo, but it never went into production due to funding issues. Another homegrown company called Mobius Motors did successfully launch in the early aughts, but folded last year because it couldn’t compete with cheap imports.

Plenty of money in automotive construction, but it’s a cut throat market that requires a very friendly local government.

Idk if Kenyans really do want to localize production. Historically, they’ve been content to import.

Any guesses as to where Kenyans can obtain a steady supply of cheap, high quality EVs?

Any suggestion that there’s something questionable or unreliable about the American democratic process is a trick by the Republican Party to suppress liberal voter enthusiasm. And if you mention it you are helping the Republicans win. Also Russia.

If you’re still in line, stay in line. Our elections are secure. The midterms is winnable if you vote in it. Shut up and do what we tell you or you’re an enemy.

Funny how our animal agriculture industry is collapsing and prices for meat are skyrocketing thanks to climate change.

Hey, you idiot goobers. Fight for your meat! If you can’t afford meat, work harder. Sleep less, hustle more. Join ICE. We just increased their budget to $170M, I’m sure they’ve got enough spare coin for a few BBQs,

The Market Has Spoken, bitches.
