can whack out a ribeye, baked potato, and corn on the cob in half an hour.
When I pan sear my steaks, microwave a potato, and microwave some vegetables it takes like what, 15 minutes? I don’t know why people think this kinda stuff takes so long. People are either lazy or just don’t know how to cook.
 
Tangentially, can anyone explain to me precisely how the US itself being at war is a net gain for the US economy? Not saying it isn't, I just don't understand the mechanics.

Like, I get the iron triangle military-industrial-congressional complex, but that seems like a mostly closed system -- US tax dollars paying US military personnel, funding US companies development and manufacturing products used by the US military, and bribing US legislators.

I also understand the dynamic of US covert intelligencia orchestrating proxy wars to create buyers for US arms and equipment, but that doesn't seem like it should necessitate any involvement from the US military itself -- except as an excuse to create newer armaments so the old shit can be sold off.

I also understand the resource acquisition element, e.g. oil. I also assume there's some sort of geopolitical reciprocity for the US acting as a rent-a-cop for NATO/UN, though I admittedly don't know what that looks like. But I just can't imagine any of these things generating enough of a profit to offset what's getting skimmed off the top in order to perpetuate the cycle.

Where does the profit come from? Is it really just selling bombs?
Weapons manufacturing.

For example, where do you think countries buy their advanced fighter jets from? 'Merica.

The US government buys Airplane. Airplane is required to use US sourced parts and labor. US taxes each of those companies getting their dollars back. Then buys another plane with the same money and collects it back again a third time. Now they gave 2 airplanes and all the money still. If they want even MORE money they can sell one of the planes to another country.

Russia sees country close to them has plane they build planes. That country better buy another plane from US to keep up.

Euro cucks see what is happening build fagggot plane gripen has a special key to have to turn for it become fighter otherwise it flies like a Cessna. Jokes on them only way to compete with US and Ruasia plane is to buy the same fucking engine as US plane. America remove engine from one of their plane and marks it up to same price as full plane. Engine is required to use US parts and labor too.

Having lived with multiple Millennial women, allow me to assure you that it's the later. Heat control and moisture management are incomprehensible for the majority of them. Never mind selecting the correct pan/sheet/pot/appliance for what ever they are preparing.

If it's in the oven, 13x9" glass cake pan. If it's on the stove, teflon frying pan with >40% of the coating gone. Cast iron?!? Ewwwwwwww, and what the fuck is a rice cooker?!
 
I was able to get 24 cans where I live for 7 dollars. Then again it was a deal on broken cases.
Dude I wish I could get a sale on broken cases. I'd take anything at this point. Name brand and offbrand are retarded expensive. A single normal bottle of coca cola is 3.20 (with tax) where I am. I need to get out of this state and move down south where everyone lives in poverty but it's all cheap as fuck. I need to brew my own coca cola like moonshine.

This is what happens when Home Ec gets skipped because a bunch of art hos think they're gonna be 'strong, independent woman who don't cook for no man'

JD Vance might just be the only human on Earth immune to AI. He is the chimera that can move within the system unseen ever changing.

I gotta give them points for the AI visuals being just as lazy as the tired nigger beats they rehashed from 2018.
 
At least be honest...

As the protest leader at Columbia University, he is suspected of distributing terrorist propaganda material.

If the state has enough evidence to justify revokation of a green card remains to be seen. But with non-citizens, the government has some room to remove said individual based on their immigration status.

It's technically against Israel though.

And I don't believe that Israel and America's interests are the same given that recently, the Israelis leaked Trump's envoy doing private face to face negotiations with Hamas.

But it's going to be a double edged sword since the Dems would want folks opposed to their gravy train wars gone as well.
 
that border to our north is kept intact
It isn't intact. It is the largest land border in the world, and it is undefended.
my question is why are we just downright trying to threaten the existence of Canada for what?
Canada doesn't really "exist". Globalists have succeeded in making Canada an "economic zone" instead of a nation. Canadian nationals ("old stock") are no longer in control of their nation.
they tariff US products too high?
That is one of the easier things to leverage against them, because it points out they are hypocrites.
This has gone beyond just trade wars
Yes
this is utter madness.
Allowing a "failed state" to be used against us is madness. Canada is a massive security vulnerability to America. The border is far too vast to secure against hostilities.

Wikipedia:
The Century Initiative[a][3] is a Canadian lobby group[4][5][6] that aims to increase Canada's population to 100 million by 2100.[7] This includes increasing the population of megaregions, which are interlocking areas with more than one city centre and a typical population of 5 million or more (e.g., the Greater Toronto Area, Greater Vancouver, and the National Capital Region).[7]

Allowing globalists to attach mega-bughives to America's unguarded head is a recipe for doom. Imagine allowing Calcutta to grow on the Great Lakes; and Shenzhen2.0 to replace Vancouver.

America's hat can not be allowed to metastasize into a full headcrab and facehugger combo.

Right but in what way does this depend on the US itself being at war?

For context, I'm trying to get a better understanding of the economic consequences of telling Europe and Israel to eat a dick and going to war against the cartels instead. If US military involvement in conflicts only serves as an excuse to allocate tax dollars to defense contractors to perpetuate our role as the world's arms dealer, do we even stand to lose anything by fighting a war that actually benefits us directly?

The best part is we can get away with a much lower tariff than they have against US and it still effects them much more due to how shitty and tiny their country is and how utterly dependent on America it is. I asked the computer slave to calculate how fucked they are.


To equalize the impact of tariffs relative to each country's GDP, we can set up a proportion based on their import-to-GDP ratios:
(Canada's Tariff Rate / 41.2%) = (U.S. Tariff Rate / 8.8%)
Solving for the U.S. Tariff Rate:
U.S. Tariff Rate = (8.8% / 41.2%) * Canada's Tariff Rate
U.S. Tariff Rate ≈ 0.2136 * Canada's Tariff Rate
This means that for every 1% tariff imposed by Canada, the U.S. would need to impose approximately a 0.2136% tariff to have an equivalent impact relative to their respective GDPs.
Example Calculation:
If Canada imposes a 10% tariff:
U.S. Equivalent Tariff = 0.2136 * 10% ≈ 2.136%

they don’t know how to cook. nobody ever taught them so they’re learning everything from scratch. even simple recipes take forever because doing anything for the first time adds tons of extra time that people with basic cooking skills forget they had to take the time to learn. and people who don’t know how to cook don’t understand that as they learn basic cooking skills everything will become much, much easier

people who don’t know how to cook think it takes four hours to make a simple meal because for them it does. they don’t know how to use any of the tools and they might not even have any proper cooking tools because at this point the inability to do simple cooking is intergenerational

bringing back mandatory home ec classes that include nutritional label literacy would be a big step towards solving obesity
