Well you see, friend, before modern medicine brain surgery was essentially a death sentence. Now it’s true there are some records of trepanation, but that’s not quite what any of us would think of as brain surgery today, and presumably most of those “patients” died. As far as repairing bleeds or removing skull fragments, dealing with cancers etc… you might as well have just beaten your patient to death as cut into their brain.

So the tradeoff was that new technology made a new paradigm possible, across the board!

There is no new paradigm to support ultra-fast charging of the type advertised here, without known tradeoffs.

Given the polling suggests they’d be the minority party in third place after the SNP as the loyal opposition and Labour in government, I really doubt that they are. They’re profoundly unhappy, but they’ve been riding his tiger for a while and have no clue how to dismount without being totally ripped to shreds.

Greedy and selfish as they are, they’ll drag the country down with them.

In this case it’s especially true.

> Ware opened in 1993, at a time when Louisiana was earning a reputation for operating one of the country’s worst juvenile systems. A series of scandals led to the closing of all privately run juvenile facilities, and in 2000, the federal government assumed oversight of those run by the state.

> But Ware was neither private nor state-run. It was a “political subdivision” of the state, created by legislation and overseen by a board composed of many of the men who met at Catfish Bend. This structure offered them and their charismatic new director ready access to tax dollars and far more independence from regulators.

The worst of both worlds, classic American “libertarian” right wing bs.

“Let us in and let us kill you, only then will there be peace” was a non-starter in the 1990’s and still is, however much you appeal to emotion to cover for the central premise of your demand. And no, a failure to get exactly what you want is not a blank cheque to commit decades of atrocities against anyone including your own people. In terms of who makes the Palestinians suffer, Hamas, the PLO and Islamic Jihad are the biggest perpetrators. Groups who would by the way, lose all of their money and power in the event of peace.

“Lets” that uh… quite the spin on migrant camps, a “Stay in Mexico” policy, and separating kids from families at the border. All of this because Mexicans, Hondurans, El Salvadorans and others want to flee the economic conditions and violence the US has created over decades with their War on Drugs and coups.

But that’s fine because it’s the US, and not a country with a majority Jewish population. The US can commit war crimes, torture people on camera, still have an offshore torture and detention facility in Cuba, but it’s fine it’s fine. Because it’s the US. When the US responds to a single terror attack with 20 years of war and millions dead and displaced that’s just life. Hypocrites.

Or like the US starting two wars in the Middle East that lasted 20+ years because they were attacked once? What, you think Afghanistan was heavily armed or something? Iraq was on its second US invasion, so it was pretty weak too. I hate to think what the US would do if Mexico spent decades attacking it with rockets and bombs, I’m pretty sure that Mexico and Mexicans would no longer exist. The US is already pretty rough on everything South of their border, and that’s just based on racial animus.
