To add: If you cancel a contract that was 80% finished then that is not a saving. It means you likely wasted 80%.

It really feels like penny wise, pound foolish. Only focusing on what’s paid out and thought about the benefit.

Though the simplistic approach is likely intentional.

The tariffs are paid by the importers. It’ll negatively affect things in Canada.

Considering the cable was likely cut by just dragging the anchor over the seafloor, there’s not much to find.

Dropping an anchor isn’t done accidentally. There’s a pretty high risk for things to go wrong. Your assertion just doesn’t make sense. It isn’t “perfectly plausible” to drop anchor accidentally, nor is it to drag it for ages.

He assumed the rules don’t apply to him. Rules are for the people you don’t like.

it gives a false sense of cleanliness and makes people not wash their hands as often as they should.

To expand in that. If someone wears gloves and touches e.g. raw chicken and then something else it’ll contaminate it and anything they’ll touch afterwards.

People asking for gloves are usually misguided. As said, due to gloves they’ll not charge gloves or wash when needed. And that’s pretty often.

Strangely there’s some huge craziness where there’s loads of comments that ask for gloves and think it’ll improve hygiene. While to me gloves indicate a poor hygiene understanding.

I feel like this is something that won’t really happen.

Similar things were said about abortion.

Not if you are a grifter and have leverage on the other person.

The ag lobby told him there’s an ocean of fresh water

I’d say that he just says whatever. If it’ll get him more popular and/or more money then there’s no need to figure out if he actually believes something or not. It usually is self serving in some way, truth doesn’t matter.

The rich usually ensure that there are enough gigantic exceptions. And these exceptions often aren’t reported upon.

And maybe he believes the trickle down economy bs.

People are paying way too little attention to this.

The media conveniently ignores it. Loads of media companies are for profit instead of reporting what’s going on. Media is needed in a democracy. Unfortunately media being a business makes them easy to be bought.

Might not be enough. Apparently they have better plans in place to manipulate the voting proces into (incorrectly) declaring Trump and others the winner, even if the votes say something else.

Read what you wrote again. It is full of contradictions. If it’s for everybody, then why do you want to exclude people? If it is niche, then why suddenly is it full of rich people?

Suggest to lay off following whatever right wing media you’re following. Especially those who blame everything on a small group, trans, drag, women, race, etc.

Your statement screams

…something that’s not similar/equivalent.

You started this thread with a fallacy…

Uh and what has changed for the muskrat to suddenly grow a smidge of conscious?

It’s best to really doubt what Musk says. Likely he’s still giving money but using weasel words to pretend he’s not because of the fallout.

Up to now he has been able to get really rich by being this way.

Obviously, the EU hasn’t the spine to eject Hungary

There’s no way to remove a member. The EU could remove their voting rights, but Hungary used to be helped by Poland.

I wonder how many extra thousands of EU troops

There’s no EU army. There’s NATO, the EU countries have armies, but there aren’t any EU troops.

Wasn’t that 15 dollar donation done by someone from a different state and the same name?

over the top cartoonish DEI

Suggest to consider why you’re highlighting DEI a an issue. I only see such stuff from pretty right wing media.

A common trick is to blame problems on a group. E.g. black people, gay people, trans people, etc. DEI fits right into that.

It’s really hard to explain their actions as being profit-driven.

Why are people outraged? Currently the blame is on trans and DEI. You’re blaming Disney instead of the ones promoting yet another group as the cause why stuff is bad.
