  • If he would make any public policy positions beyond gun control, maybe it would be easier to support him. But he seriously seems very one dimensional as a politician. That's not to say he doesn't have other opinions, but from all I have seen of him publicly is that he is very anti gun. I get it, I have friends who went to Stoneman Douglass, but they all say he is standing on the graves of his peers. It's a losing battle for the progressive movement, we have seen it time and time again. If he could push his PAC to make some real policy positions on things that are actually destroying America such as the consolidation of wealth and property, private equity firms, labor outsourcing, debt, national debt, inefficient or poorly maintained public services, climate change, etc, he would probably be more successful with less resistance from the establishment. As for existing members of the DNC who would be better than him, I couldn't tell you. From what I gather, he is getting a lot of push back for trying to get younger people into political positions, I fully support his efforts in that regard but he needs to get his plan together.

  • No I don't think incumbents are doing a good job, but I know David Hogg, his policy positions, and public outlook. He is not a good candidate in my opinion. I was surprised and thought he was running with the way he worded his comment.

    What's up with GoldBacks?

    Are they worth investing in? I found out about them after watching the movie Homestead the other day, terrible movie btw don't watch it unless you want to get bombarded with weird Christian shit. I went and talked to a guy who owns a gold coin store about them and he said they're not worth it. I'm inclined to agree but want more knowledge from people who may know more than he does because he seems like the kind of guy set in his ways.

  • Photolithography itself was invented in the US a while ago, but the company that perfect the manufacturing process that is used for modern chips is in either Belgium or Denmark iirc. That company just leases its machines to TSMC so it's entirely possible they could just move the machines to the USA. But that's my surface level understanding, I don't know for sure.

  • If you think the US military wouldn't immediately remove all assets from California you'd be sorely mistaken. There is no way that the fed would allow assets like that to be given away to a successionist movement. Even if they didn't, California doesn't have the logistic ability to maintain those assets for more than id say 3 months.

  • No, it's a little more complicated than that. How a video explained it was, say someone was trying to sell you a TV, you decide to buy that TV and the salesman gives you a card to let the cashier know who the salesman was to get the commission. When you're at the checkout line, a different sales man comes up and offers to find you a coupon code to help save you money. In the process of looking, regardless of if a coupon code is found, the second salesman takes the original card the previous salesman gives you and switches it with his own unbeknownst to you or the original salesman. Then when you buy the product the second guy gets the commission.

  • So far over the past year I've had it active, I'm up 40%. It seems to be working well, I have it automated through a service called Autopilot and it has already paid for itself. I wish I put more into it at the start but so far I've got no complaints.

  • I thought that was currently the case they just had a 45 day max reporting timeline, unless my Nancy pelosi clone portfolio has been lying to me. Apparently her average reporting time is 14 days

  • Not a bad idea. Ive been saying this for years, if the left embraced the 2nd amendment they would win every election. Its contradictory to vote for legislation and politicians that only benefit the rich and powerful while espousing for the proletariat. A government that does not fear its people will always become tyrannical, fascist, you name it.

  • The explosives used on those drones are far from enough to turn a whole vehicle into shrapnel. If they bailed out and laid on the ground they likely would have been uninjured. But think from their perspective, you could jump out and run away hoping the drone chases someone else, or you could stay in the truck and maybe out run it. The psychological horror of modern drone warfare has never been seen before and we will likely see the scars well into the future.

  • Trump made great strides with North Korea that ammounted to absolutely nothing, this would turn out exactly the same. A big ol nothingburger, or he could just make it worse by allowing Russia to annex large swaths of Ukraine that they already lost in the counteroffensive.
