Please and thank yous are enough to be polite to strangers.

Cut out the middle man, eat shit

Why would I ignore it? It works. Take a look at china, they are using the exact same tools after the failure of imported soviet communism

Keep on learning 19th century ideology in the 21st

Well let’s just see what people who actually have a clue have to say muffin https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/attritional-art-war-lessons-russian-war-ukraine

This still doesn’t make Russia magically have a larger industrial base than NATO, it’s absurd.

And the fact that you don’t even understand why using nominal GDP is nonsensical really does add to the comedy.

You think Price Point Parity is a measure of size, so I’m not sure you even understand what you are trying to claim. You’re certainly not using the right terms

And if you think Russia allocating 40% of government spending to be able to wage war on one small country makes them capable, good luck 🤞

Thanks for the essay

So we can make pills that cost 10 cents each and sell them for $500 each.

Lol. Because no R&D is involved. Most drugs are generics now anyway

The guy already gave his statement at a deposition. Why on earth would they kill him after the fact?

Because the two week special military operation has floundered.

PPP isn’t related to size, doughnut. Do you even know what it stands for?

Bigger industry? Russia GDP 2.24 trillion dollars

NATO GDP 45 trillion dollars

Lol

Meanwhile NATO is far behind Russia in weapons, manpower and industrial might.

Russia, with an economy smaller than Italy’s?

The tines are a changing

What a shit hole

Ah, a classic correlation is not causation situation. Thanks!

So would you say that vaccines are still needed for all, or just for people like me who are immunosuppressed?

Of course, if you’re not getting an actual pay rise. Then you strike until you get a better deal or start making money without exchanging it for units of time.

Ok just going to make the counter argument if that’s ok?

They are new compared to traditional vaccines like polio and smallpox

Their view is that vaccines are now unnecessary because of herd immunity, (I’ve got them to concede that hospitals or the economy would have collapsed without vaccines), and that they are just being used up because govts signed contracts.

Their view is that the side effects risk is now higher than the benefit.

Unfortunately I’m at the age where more friends are dying than I’m making new ones lol

Thanks, that’s what I thought. They always point to the recorded side effects and I always counter with the fact that the disease is a lot lot worse than the cure, and that it’s a classic trolley problem. If the equation is kill one to save a million, you always kill one.

Or am I missing something?

Inflation means money is worth less than before and inflation is actually money creation. Higher supply means lower demand. Record profits are only records because the nominal value is higher, but the real value isn’t.

Companies operate on gross margin, so 30% margin is always 30% of the total price. The actual value is irrelevant.

Making 400k and paying rent. Highly regarded.

Hope he goes back to normal school for a while to make some friends and get laid
