So instead of assigning beavers to building commodities we assign beavers to build machines to assign to building commodities? I feel like I'm missing the plot, here.

I am seeing this talking point a lot lately, but I don't think it's credible or accurate. US Military already wasn't stopping China from dipping their fingers in Taiwan, Venezuela, etc.

If Iran, a state heavily sponsored by China, collapsing helped China then Xi Jinping would have had Ayatollah burnt alive a long time ago.

Now if they said it was helping Russia by using bombs which could have been given to Ukraine, then I could be more open to that, but it's also not true because we're also not giving away bombs to Ukraine, either.

It has never been complex: using a tool that has never yielded good results is a liability and harms your credibility. Don't use it.

I'd like to laugh at this because Fuck China, but unfortunately this will only harm the lower class of China and not the people who need to be harmed.

This is a community to ask questions not request them. Also, staring is perceived by dogs as a threat because it's what predators do.

I'm sad the only Initiate 1 guy hasnt been on lately.

Ah man.

I kind of don't like Qatar.

But the scale of the conflict does need to end. US Congress has yet to pass a war powers resolution and the only faction in Iran willing to work with us right now is the Shah faction.

Pretty sure that bit about rapture also mentions the antichrist proclaiming himself as savior, right?

I wouldn't call what China does "well planned" or "technologically superior", per se. More like "they don't pay their workers hardly anything and regularly utilize slave labour at a large scale".

The next election will still be FPtP no matter how ignorant you are to the evils of the GOP.

I really hope Steam suits don't see data like this and think they need to cater to the needs of the CCP.

The bots would make sense, too, a Chinese cyberattack last year took Steam and other online publishers down for a couple of hours using a compromised router botnet.

I knew a retired carpet cleaner who occasionally did that. He wasn't wealthy by any means but if he was going to owe more than 3k in Taxes it was always better for him to spend it on a "business trip".

tbh I'm not sure, I've never attempted it in Canada. Works that way in the US.

Businessmen don't get to write off their living expenses either, but feasibly you could start a business and become a contractor for your employer so you could write off things like footwear, home office square footage, and a standard deduction per mil driven between two work locations.

Best part is the ~~(Canadian?) IRS?~~ CRA will never audit you unless they have the staff and they can get more out of you than the cost of the audit (roughly 20k minimum).

Ty, dont know how that typo happened

Well shit, maybe Iran wasn't so bad after all.

Was the starvation also staged? Has the USA been running Iranian Economic and Agricultural planning in secret for years? Was Climate Change all a ploy in order to put pressure on Iran?

Those devious masterminds!

I'm in the same boat, I think the USA needs to be working with revolutionaries and a War Powers Resolution needs to be done to limit Trump's bomb-happy attitude.

Two options that concern me are that the USA and Israel might support the Shah Royalists (EW GROSS, AUTOCRACY) or even worse would by Israel expanding its borders into Iran.

You forgot the nuance of Iran being backed by China and Russia.
