At the highest level, war is economics. Cheaper weapons win if you can make enough of them. That’s how Ukraine is winning with drones. No matter how many poor bastards Putin throws into the meat grinder, they’re still more expensive than a bullet or a drone. If Putin was able to make unlimited $5 Shahed drones, he could take over the world, even if it missed 90% of the time. Cheaper makes up for better, when you can get volume. The only reason this hasn’t been instantly obvious in Ukraine, is because Putin started with a mountain of cash and resources.

Laundering is the movement of capital outside of labor controls. As long as labor is less mobile than capital, there will be a need for capital controls.

It wasn’t what I’d call a highway vehicle, but it would get your around town. No power, but it weighed nothing so they were ok for slow off road use. If you draft a big enough semi you can get them up to 85.

While I don’t have a problem with executions, the evidentiary standards to prevent innocent deaths make the practice essentially arbitrary. It’s better and more affordable to just lock them away forever. Some countries do go so far as to always allow a possibility of parole, but I don’t think their methods would translate as well to other nations.

A draft card is nothing more than proving your ssn matches to a living person. It doesn’t really change or mean anything. If they start doing physical exams, they’re actively going to send people into a meat grinder. With the size and power of the US military, that means a global war is already hot, and nukes are about to fly if they haven’t already.

Death penalty on the spot, no exceptions.

EDIT: Just realized I wasn’t clear. I meant for the jay walkers.

Pretty sure the response to that is FAFO.

Looking at Fritos details. They’re using calcium hydroxide to create masa, which is probably where you’re starting, but then they extrude the mix before frying. That mechanical process affects the corn like kneading does for flour. Baking might not be needed at all.

Paprika or BBQ sauce would probably fill that seasoning gap. I’m wondering if dehydration might work better than baking, could be a 1000% worse though.

It’s not even a language issue, it’s just complete lack of experience with how the rest of humanity lives.

It means you get a card in the mail that you have to sign. Personally I don’t think it means anything other than the government knows where you live. Which doesn’t really matter these days. Now if they want everyone to come in for a physical to determine if they can be drafted, we’ve got a bigger problem. On multiple fronts.

Women tend to dominate care positions, nursing, teaching, and child care. None of them are going to be touched by AI, other than massive head aches caused in teaching kids to lazy to learn. Outside of those, women are in no different position than men when facing automation.

That’s a dude the death penalty might be too good for.

Have you seen Oliver North doing the talk show circuit? That’s what we do with traitors in the US.

When a government official loses and arbitrary and capricious action lawsuit, it shouldn’t just reverse the policy, it should trigger an automatic removal review.

Yeah it’s going to be a sketchy transformative moment for Hungary. They have to root out the authoritarian operatives and collaborators, which will be a very authoritarian process in itself. And meanwhile come out the other side as a democracy. If he does it right, they could end up being a role model.

Sci-fi as it’s not based around magic, even though the technology as presented often appears magical in nature.

Remember this is the justice that’s in Leonard Leo’s pocket. The bullshit he’s spouting is why.

It would be hard to reach interception. A modern biplane is slightly faster than a shahed, but closing the distance between detection and take off could take longer than the remaining shahed mission. WW2 prop planes would probably be effective in otherwise controlled air space. Might be time to dust off the Yakovlev plans, and maybe check the local air museums.
