    In written comments submitted to the committee, Whitmore said that her company[, Palo Alto,] blocks as many as 31 billion cyberattacks on a daily basis, and up to 9 million of these every day are new, never-before-seen attack methods.

    lol, fucking what? I would believe 31 billion port scans per day across the globe, but 9 million zero days per day??? Fuck off.

    Given the speed up of global warming I don’t think it’s crazy to assume powers will use their militaries to engage in resource grabs to hold their own as long as possible.

    China is very very old, and since Trump, we’ve never been weaker. The balloons were a little clue.

    Call in 100% of the debt, and then while the government is flailing, do the rest. Or use the lack of payback as a premise, not that someone as old as China would even care.

    China is like that spry 89 year old who can run laps around 40 year olds and doesn’t give a single fuck, they’ll do and say what they want regardless of anyone around them. The 89 year old, who, when he gets up, there’s a hush in the room as everyone watches, knowing whatever it is they’re on their feet for, no one can stop it.
