Does anyone know the model of this truck? I want to bully a swedish coworker if it is indeed a Scania (guy is pretty outspoken about american cars being "stupid and for stupid people")

His tendency to long-winded anecdotes makes him the perfect Trotskyite. Also the fact that he claims to be literate but keeps coming up with wild misreadings of basic texts.

I honestly don't think the Tories need much more help being pro-police than they already are. On the other hand, Cameron is litterally Mr. Austerity and if given the chance he would absolutely defund the police, so critical support i guess.

I pitched this to my wife as a potential grift idea, so that we could actually afford to buy a house and somehow she still said no, despite being a very lightskinned Arab who would honestly be perfect for this type of propagada. So i guess having principles and shame really does get in the way of making money obama-sad

I work with an Iranian woman who is incredibly insightful on pretty much every topic, aside from Iran. Somehow she told me within the first 2-3 days of me working with her that "Some people consider the Shah to be a dictator, but I think that's wrong." A statement that literally caused me to bluescreen and just go "ahem" and change the topic. She also spent the first 6 months of me knowing her talking about the "revolution" that was occuring in Iran due to the anti-morality police sentiment.

It's honestly a shame, because I genuinely enjoy talking to her about most subjects, but then she will randomly interject with the most insanely stupid things and then go back to doing material, historical analysis.

I miss the pig-fucker memes, so I kinda hope that Cameron does return.

My thinking was more along the lines of China dumps T-bonds -> T-bonds are dumped on the open market, probably triggering a price decrease due to increased supply -> America sees the price being lowered and decides this is economic terrorism / damaging to their economy - > Carrier group gets sunk -> Posadas

On one hand, if OPEC did another oil crisis, there would definitely be a reaction from the West as it would cause a massive economic crisis, which would honestly either provoke war or force the SocDems to invest in infrastructure, but on the other hand, I live in the imperial core and am visibly minority, which I suspect would get me lynched if the Arab states decided to do something funny.

Sounds like the bubble is actively being deflated even if it's getting done at a slower pace than most people here would like to see.

well, they would quickly lose value as China holds a ton of those, and then I assume that the Americans would see it as an economic attack and press the Posadist button.

According to Seamus malekafzali it's a pretty old Klan myth that the Rothschilds (and thus all jews) have a secret laser that starts wildfires, but I believe that was in relation to the california fires, rather than the Hawaiian ones.
