Is it? Could be a pebble. We don’t have a scale after all.
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 1 week ago:
Well, yeah, this is essentially why I’m not running.
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 1 week ago:
RUN! I don’t know why people get so attached to a piece of land, especially when it can cost you your life. They are artificial lines created on the globe. The real question, is where to run.
- Comment on Who gets all the tariff money about to be collected from US citizens buying products from Canada? 4 weeks ago:
Well the US collects taxes and a tariff is a tax so yeah, it will generate funds to run the government. I think this is why Trump likes them. He sees a huge influx in the taxes collected. Plus his followers are so stupid they think China/Canada/Mexico is paying them. Win/win for him. No wonder he thinks it’s the greatest word in the dictionary.
- Comment on He thinks they'll just GIVE him money? 4 weeks ago:
Ok so I checked these numbers and they don’t seem to line up. According to Equity Atlas there are about 3.28M Americans with a net worth of $5M. According to credit-suisse.com/…/global-wealth-report.html there are 8.4M people worldwide with a $5M net worth. So 8.4-3.28=5.12. So 5.12M x $5M=$25.6T.
I’m just using the logic presented here. Of course, that would require every single person on the planet with a net worth (not disposable cash) to actually buy one of these visas. If you assume actually 1% of these people did this, and I think that’s probably a high number, then we are talking $256B.
I’m not trying to defend Donald Trump here, but I don’t want to be one of those people who only immerses himself in liberal media and swallows everything they say as true just because it supports my opinion. That would make me the same as them.
I’m guessing the reality is closer to the original post. I’d be surprised if more than a small handful of people actually did this and that doesn’t forgive the horrible idea-made-real that citizenship is for sale, that only rich people are welcome here, that they are better than common people and all of the other reasons this whole thing is tasteless.

Where did you get $10M? Did he already up the price? He does that you know.

Ummm, it says the Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, not the seeds don’t fall far from the tree.

- Comment on China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speeds 1 month ago:
Wish we could do that. But now that I think about it, it’s much better to improve things in small steps that can be monetized with ever increasing prices for each step. Yeah, that’s definitely the better way to do it.

But it’s not like the Chinese government to provide that kind of service out of kindness.

Tru dat.
- Comment on China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speeds 1 month ago:
I probably shouldn’t have posted it that way. I’ve been to Bejing, but I picture a lot of rural rice farmers just NOT part of the Internet and of course with censorship rampant, I just figure, why so fast? Sounds like flexing. But maybe I’m wrong.
- Comment on China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speeds 1 month ago:
Because everyone there uses the Internet?
- Comment on Teslas turn toxic as sales crash in Europe and the UK | EV sales in the region are growing, but not for Tesla 1 month ago:
Oh I see what you’re saying. Yeah, they probably should have said EU but it’s a little pedantic to pretend you didn’t know.

You see there was this little thing called Brexit…

That may be but it’s not my favorite style.
- Comment on I just finished watching Voyager... again 2 months ago:
I researched Voyager not too long ago and what I hadn’t realized until I did was how much it was all about Kess and then after that all about 7 of 9.

Friggin immigrants again, I guess.
- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 4 months ago:
I have a “smart TV” and I plug it into my receiver and use it as a monitor. I use the term smart TV that way, because it is more than 10 years old when TVs were just starting to have these features. I should also point out that the receiver does all of the spying that the TV isn’t doing. Not sure what I’ll do when the TV dies.
