Every single state solution is a genocide solution.

I don’t think you’re going to convince many people with this.

Technically, they are fighting it in court as of the article I read a while ago, but I don’t think there is any judgement for or against them, yet.

National Guard is military. Using federal law enforcement might be on the table but they’re woefully underequipped to deal with California as a whole.

What Trump is doing is illegal, there is plenty of justification for California to simply respond by doing equally illegal things like denying the feds and withholding taxes.

Removing Cali congressmen is the opposite of opposing his admin.

And they would have to turn around and spend it on their own military because they would lose the military that all 50 states funded together. I never used to be believe in the threat of eastern aggression, but it becomes more and more obvious every day that they can never see the USA bleed. And that’s in the assumption the hyper-aggressive Trump admin does nothing about a secession.

Plus, they’ve already got more than enough justification to withhold federal income taxes and tariffs, the sitting president is violating the constitution and wasn’t even eligible to run in the first place.

Instead of carving ourselves up and removing blue seats from congress we could be uniting against Trump.

But without boots on the ground, enforcement won’t happen. If Trump mobilized military on his own nation, he will well and truly enter the final find out phase of his life. The social contract is wearing thin.

They’re clearly exiting the plane and trying to keep the line moving.

Why would they do that? They gain nothing from that.

Yeah fr these four dudes were not “Pro-Palestine Protestors” they were threatening people with axes, calling police fascists, and chanting “from the river to the sea”. That was terrorism, and they’re bejng let off incredibly lightly.

This was maybe news a week ago but these four dudes are the exception that make the rule, tbh. Germany is cool.

EDIT: And they weren’t protestors, they were holding axes, terrorizing university employees, chanting “from the river to the sea”, and calling the police fascists.

Yeah I misread the prompt as if everyone put up tariffs lol.

Imagine everything currently produced on earth loses about a third of its efficiency/affordability and a large chunk of everything has shortages/unavailability for the next 30 years.

Now imagine with the loss of trade relationships diplomacy slowly returns to that of the dark ages and a new era of war begins.

Things we take for advantage are peace and prosperity.

I’ve been looking into producing Semiconductor Grade Silicone Powder but I haven’t been able to decide between the Plasma, CVD, or more traditional furnace with reduction agent methods without knowing their operational costs. It would be kind of out of my price range to test each of them.

I can run some basic numbers if anybody knows a good industrial catalogue for the equipment.

EDIT: To clarify, I’m supporting the idea that the UK ignore Trump’s ultimatum. Like “Oh no, you’re saying we have to listen to your demands or be tarriffed? Anyways…”

TBF the AI might be indexing Tariff news and discussion in realtime.

It would probably nuke us.

NGL, given how well AI is doing in other fields this sounds like it’ll do more harm than help to their efforts.

Unless it’s an actually competently made machine learning which highlights specific suspicious movements and not any sort of large model.

Definitely not a surprise that the piece of shit Sundar Pichai is working with Trump, though. He attended the Inauguration alongside Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, etc.

Nice! Good for them.
