What makes you think they can only source the tyres locally? Have you ever thought about how they can get all these tyres in the first place and how they all happen to have 3/4 of their treads left? A lot of people run their tyres to almost bald (not recommended) But even I’ve never replaced tyres with that much tread left outside of a failure.
Main thing I can think of is if they buy new snow tires every year, then switch back to new all-weather tires. I doubt people rich enough to do so would want to keep the tires and bring them back months later, and might even get a discount on the job if the shop can keep the still usable tires.
 
After the Migrant Riots: "Fuck Hispanics, I want the vast majority of them out. They are not Americans but turncoats and foreign agents for Mexico."
See, the weird thing as a Floridian, we never got that sorta crazy protests or riots or.. really anything crazy. Maybe in Tampa and Orlando sure, but we don't get that shit in my town. and i'm from a more mixed community. Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Jamacians. Few Indians, a decent amount of black people, both good and bad. A lot of Laotian and Vietnamese people tho. oh, and a Chinese place ran by Brazilians. Great Egg rolls, terrible lo mein.

Point is, LA got some crazy fucking people, and the vast majority of legal Hispanics/blacks/ are.. sane.

(Blacks not as much, but you do see a lot of sane blacks. it's more of a 60/40 sane/not sane for them.)

Remember in the Iraq War how they made fun of the Iraqi information minister for flagrant lies? Isn't it funny how people still laugh at him even though American leaders were way bigger liars? Anyway, I believe Iran is working on nukes and is probably pretty close.
Iran has had at least dirty bomb capability since the time Powell was secdef. They likely had ballistics when he was secretary of state. They didn't build a nuclear reactor in the early 2010s without the ability to create a fission bomb.

This is just the excuse to back Israel and help Bibi win an election he's trailing in.
 
The thing that always makes me confused is if a slave boy can build a working pod racer, he's using parts that could be sold. Because they work. Major oversight on that one there, Watto
Anakin uses parts that Watto can't sell individually, pod racing is a very lucrative sport so most racers aren't going to buy used second hand parts from Watto of all people.

That and Watto makes fat stacks betting on the races with Anakin.

Rich people have a set of winter rims. The dealer makes arrangements for storage or delivers them back with the car for storage in the owners garage/basement/outbuilding.

Stop thinking like a poor. This is just for the Porche. They also have a winter vehicle. Why would you change tires like a peasant?

(FYI the beaner used tires come from junk yards from car accidents, and when people buy new tires cus the front two are bad but they get a full set, as well as stolen rims)

Very stupid thing to say, esp when you compare nuclear material that's been enriched to 5 percent vs nuclear material that's been enriched to 60 percent and is a close step to being 90 percent which is nuclear weapons tier.

The israeli government won't dissolve either so no elections here. The simple answer is that Trump told Iran on April 12th that they had 2 months to work out a deal or there would be consequences. They didn't work out a deal, the consequences are coming.

BREAKING: US orders all embassies within striking distance of Iran — from the Middle East to parts of Eastern Europe & North Africa — to convene emergency action committees and send cables to DC on their risk-mitigation measures, according to WaPo's @John_Hudson
 
The British Caliphate can fuck off. They are no longer masters of their own country and have been frothing at the mouth to escalate nuclear war because Putin bad.

I unironically have more respect for North Korea.
That's just Keir posturing since his support has completely collapsed.

It's the same as as GOP Warhawk pot banging in an attempt to appear strong and focused on American interests despite giving as much cash feasible to Israel and doing as little as humanly possible to stem immigration both legal and illegal (same as a Dem tearfully walking up to the podium to do the same thing). "Muh Russia" is also the only viable way for a left-leaning politician in Europe to justify increasing military spending to their own party, since even if their voters want it, their fellow politicians are just as likely to revolt out of "principle". They also need to appear like they're not bending the knee to Trump because left-wing seethe over The Orange Man is a universal constant.

The UK issuing this warning so shortly after America is purely "follow the leader"-type shit that the UK tends to do (see our participation in the Iraq war despite a million person march in London) so it's not surprising. If Israel escalates a conflict with Iran and the US is obliged to join for whatever reason, then the UK will likely follow regardless of what the people ultimately want — a sentiment you're probably all too familiar with considering the American people probably didn't consent to having millions of illegals living with permission within their borders.
