Of course it will. The chart of everything gets passed on to the consumer. Any concept of the business cutting back on profits or growth because of troubling times is behind us.

Capitalism has metastasized.

We can't tell if it's pointlessly gendered unless wet know what the questions are about. Seems likely to be a study of some kind, and knowing how men perceive other men, for example, might be valuable data.

Academy has the best elements of every single series to date.

Objection. I've seen very little professional behavior from anyone except maybe the Doctor and the Commandant, and of course Admiral Uncle. Some leeway can be granted, given the setting, but it's something I very much miss from the TNG era.

For what is worth, they are doing a much better job of it. It's never gonna be my favorite trek, but it's not bad.

My wife, who is a Trek fan for the past 15 years or so, likes it. She didn't care for Picard or Discovery.

Unless you're a MAGA influencer. Then you get evacuated.

Isn't that the guy that played Unicron?

I'll admit outright that I'm just not interested in most people.

But I'm terrible with names, even with the people I am interested in. I can tell you all kinds of things about a person, just not their name.

It's kind of bizarre.

I mean, as long as you don't lose the stick, the rest of it is just frozen water. Uncomfortable, certainly, but I'd be amazed if you could make it to the ER before it melts.

I got Councillor Troi for my ship computer. Good times.

It's important to note that this specific Nazi is a US Senator, though. Helps illustrate how deep the rot goes.

In this case, I'm referring to the description it had during and before WW1, "the sick man of Europe." I'm not 100% clear on what happened, but it was collapsing on itself, and wound up fracturing.

And I see your point, since I didn't specify a time period. For a while, they were serous badasses.

I think things could get better, if the democrats take back power, and then display a level of virtue and resolve they we have never seen from them in the history of ever.

I think it more likely that we become the Ottoman Empire.
