Okay, that’s great (I guess)

Definitely, there are trade offs

Tell me about it. Wish this wasn’t considered a legitimate source of news. But that would require a mainstream outlet to cover it.

I don’t think those two conclusions track with each other

over 4 million children are in the process of dying because of his actions cutting foreign aid.

They’re dying because we’ve ramped up arms exports to surrounding territories in the midst of a climate crisis.

The idea that countries like Sudan and Libya and Haiti need USAID is predicated on us ignoring why they’re impoverished and war torn to begin with

what if the CEO only made 100 million, and the employees each made 500K in salary?

Works great if you’re trying to bribe Nazi ex-pats into compliance while fighting a war of arms escalation.

Is that communism?

True Communism can only be achieved if we wipe all the current communists off the map, take their stuff, and impose “democracy” through an occupying military.

That wasn’t aimed at the billionaire. It was aimed at the billionaire’s monster, a misunderstood child-like creature abused into madness.

I hear that kid is a pedophile

Jamaica is functionally a captive state. The police and the legislature are fully captured by foreign corporate interests. The public is held in poverty to extract their labor on the cheap.

Emigration from Jamaica is currently at a critical high, with over half of the population (54%) planning an attempt to leave within the next three years.

The whole Caribbean is under the yoke of repressive governments operating perpetually contracting local economies to support the tourist sector. But as a British Commonwealth (functionally little more than a colony) they don’t even enjoy a relationship to a prosperous mainland to backstop their atrocious domestic economic policy.

Governments can have a funny way of determining market value based on whether they like you or not.

Just point to a row of buildings and declare “slum clearance”. Suddenly, you can get them for a steal.

TNG

All Good Things…" — Season 7, Episodes 25–26 (1994) Star Trek: Picard came to an end in a manner very familiar to fans of TNG. After closing down Guinan’s bar in 24th century Los Angeles, the former crew of the USS Enterprise-D settled into a game of poker. In the TNG finale specifically, Picard finally joins the poker game for the first time, with Data dealing

Star Trek: Picard

“Remembrance” — Season 1, Episode 1 (2020) Jean-Luc Picard sits down with Data for a friendly game of poker and a spot of tea, but the showdown yields unbelievable results for the retired Admiral. This is a dream/simulation sequence set at the very start of the series. Paramount+

“The Last Generation” — Season 3 Finale (2023) The credits rolled with the lifelong friends laughing and happily talking with each other as Jean-Luc Picard dealt a fresh hand of cards at a final poker game reuniting the TNG crew — including Data (now in a new android body).

I certainly don’t remember those episodes in detail, but I suspect they didn’t spend a ton of time on it

Spend every day with someone you love and it gets a bit brighter

Data doesn’t cheat. He is just sending coded messages to the other players across time.

If he ends up taking all their money at the end of it, that’s more their fault than his.
