Do you mean railways?

they were within their rights to refuse to do business with the US government, and I don’t agree that the response to them refusing it should be the US government blacklist their company

I mean… you want to refuse business but you don’t want to be refused business?

How does that work?

They’re just trying to get clicks. It’s attention seeking behavior, not real concern for public policy.

FIRE has always been a corporate friendly libertarian-right organization. They post this stuff because they need to appear relevant to their sponsors.

Eh. Depending on where those parts were sourced…

It’s the rocket ship problem.

You need fuel to move the fuel that moves the fuel that moves the rocket

Less, now that we shut down the Straight of Hormuz

Orban is a fucking FSB puppet

He came up through US anti-communist front groups and has turned his country out to Silicon Valley goons and evangelical reactionaries.

So had Putin, at least during the War on Terror era.

They’ve been peas in a pod under every Republican administration since Bush 41. At best, you could describe them as Rogue Assets, assuming you ignored how often they work to benefit American industry.

He started his career as a criminal defence barister, specialising in human rights. And he’s spent most of his political life reflecting back on that early tenure, insisting all his actions are informed by his desire for egalitarianism and social equity.

He’s the quintessential “we bombed your hospital because you hate the gays” neoliberal imperialist.

Heritage Foundation, a prime mover in American domestic politics: Why the U.S. Must Befriend Hungary’s Populist Leader

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban at a Joint Press Availability

We’ve seen the American hand behind Orban since his days in the Alliance of Young Democrats (ironically enough, founded by Orban’s favorite whipping boy George Soros).

He’s an American proxy and always had been. If he’s been a wedge into the EU for decades, that’s by design.

Or it wasn’t. Very possible he was simply gifted the NFT and lied about the price.

A bunch of the early 20s NFT sales were wash sales

Orban is a fucking russian asset

He’s more bound up in American geopolitics. But then Americans keep smelling shit, then blaming foreigners for the load in their pants.

Gen Z kids can’t read these days.

we had eradicated it

Clearly we hadn’t.

We horded the vaccine domestically, patented efficient methods for manufacturer and distribution, and curtailed it’s use in states we considered too poor or too evil.

Some of the highest rates of measles today can be found in Yemen, a country we’ve been bombing since the early '10s.

We didn’t exterminate the disease. We incubated it. And now we’re reaping what we’ve sown.

Would pay to read a news journal that included “poll of how much we expected” and “tally of results” included in the footnotes for any of these headlines

This seizure appears in response to a gas pipeline that Ukraine destroyed during the war.

The price shock from the Iran War is driving people to do desperate things in order to stay in power. You can get mad at Orban for being a POS. But he’s not the prime mover here. This is all downwind of Israel/US closing the Straight of Hormuz.

Starmer is just Woke Trump. Their policies are increasingly indistinguishable.

I give it another two weeks before CBS runs an hour long special explaining how the Iranians bombed their own girl’s school.

There are four waters!

I’m afraid it will lead to a cessation of anti-pollution efforts

The bacteria release carbon during the decomposition process. So this isn’t a “solution” in any meaningful respect. It’s an instance of evolution at work, as a surplus resource becomes a food source for innovative organisms.

Also, we look at this as some kind of “clean-up”. In reality, this is a threat to one of our most useful durable materials. It’ll likely lead to the development of antiseptics to kill these bacteria colonies, as the last thing anyone with a hard plastic shell on their vehicle or appliance or equipment wants is a colony of plastic-eaters deteriorating it.
