It's doable if you're not constantly changing the plans. The issue appears to be that he keeps changing things about it. Every plan or rendering they've released is different and it keeps getting bigger with each iteration.

I wonder what a demolition crew does if you don't pay them. Other tradies will typically just rip out their work, but it's not like a demo crew can easily rebuild something they tore down.

I'm actually amazed how he keeps finding new suckers after decades of doing it in the private sector and almost 10 years of doing it as President. The only ones that really came out ahead are the criminals that bought their pardons. Everyone else gets screwed one way or another.

Probably attached it in the CMS and didn't upload the file as private even if the page itself was, or something like that. Users mess up permissions all the time.

Between this and how they treated Afghans that collaborated with them, this is going to be a long term issue for future recruitment efforts.

Manpower is a bigger issue for Ukraine compared to Russia. Ukraine is at least not doing human wave tactics and doing more to keep their guys alive, but Russia can last longer in that aspect as well.

I do agree that Putin can't stop the war for anything less than complete victory, otherwise people will start asking questions about why this was necessary as you said.

Yeah, they are still able to trade with China (which happens to make everything anyway), and as opposed to most countries, Russia can still draw on a lot of the remaining Soviet infrastructure that was specifically built because Russia needed to be self sufficient during the cold war.

As long as Putin can manage to remain in power Russia can keep this war going.

Yeah, the original post sounded very much like the typical fake story you see on Reddit.

He left rockstar after red dead redemption II, partly because he was tired of dealing with those execs.

The profession always attracts authoritarians, so it's something you'll see everywhere.

 

About 7.5 million singing and swimming “Baby Shark” bath toys are being recalled after multiple lacerations and puncture wounds were reported in children playing with them.
