What makes a president inept? Reagan broke the law, massively exploded the debt, and severely fucked up a national health crisis due to prejudice. Bush Sr. mishandled the economy which brought his popularity from one of the highest ever after Desert Storm to basement level. Clinton got got screwing around with interns and bombed Kosovo and Iraq to distract from his gross behavior. Bush Jr. send 4,000 US soldiers to die in a mud hole for no reason other than prejudice. Obama tried to place nice with racists and ultimately lost because of the horror of the guy who took over from him.

I mean love or hate Carter but Trump redefined being unfit for the office in the same way serial killers redefine harm from a terse letter. Then there is Biden who should have retired a decade ago.

I mean each of them is a fuck up depending on how you want to call it.

For a point of comparison, this was a proposal for a mission at the edge of the solar system

Once in 175 years, actually. The next window that allows this path will occur in 2152.

Maybe next time don't pick an out of state shill because some imbecile in a suit picked him out.

What worries me is these little fish seeing the idea that insurrection is lightly punished and perhaps even secretly rooted for by certain elements within the government.

I dunno.. I think next time the body count will be far higher. Can't trust law enforcement to not use kid gloves until they succeed.

You seem to forget that belligerent pompous assholes who can lie to themselves without consequence have extremely poor track records. CCP are just humans, same as you and I. They are not supermen or superior to anyone else when it comes down to it. Sure they may have lots and lots of manpower, but as we have seen in Ukraine manpower means very little when arrogance and pride overshadow basic reason.

China may indeed try to cross the Taiwan strait. They may attempt to seize the island of Taiwan. They may even succeed. However, the very fact they do so almost guarantees the arrogant pride that will break the people of China. It will expensive and bloody and will be for very little in the end. Expect millions of Chinese mothers to weep as their family lines end because of the feebleminded greed of a man resembling a character in a child's book.

It pays a portion sure, but it is far less than it used to be. When you consider the evolution of the system for the past 50 years, the writing is on the wall. Profit driven Healthcare as we know in the US will end. It is simply inefficient at doing the job it is supposed to be doing, much as how planned economies always fail for performing much the same way. Question is how.

If it is going to follow out approach to decarbonization, it will be maintained at ever increasing cost until finally someone finds a better way or reality crushes it all like a tin can at depth. People will wonder, point fingers, and blame some outside source. In truth, it's all because we as Americans are lazy proud ass holes who seem to enjoy being repeatedly anally raped by guys in suits because anything less is socialism that is somehow and intrinsically un-American. Americans are inept idiots with barely enough competent people around them to hold it all together.

It's hilarious how people used to hold up the ideal of the industrialist hero who made a fortune making the world work. In reality, the true force was all those lower than dirt people toiling away their lives. They are the ones who made America. All the names you hear, they are all filthy thieves. Should be a wall of shame. No, America celebrates the con artists who do shit but receive all the benefit. Fucking joke.

Its infantile, really no better than screaming because you are upset.
