Re: Musk vs Unions in Sweden

Unfortunately, in Musk's case that solution might be to move the factory to another country out of sheer spite. Possibly followed by him going after the union, in every country he thinks he could win, for 'lost income, relocation expenses, slander, libel, and whatever else' he thinks he can. I dunn...

Re: Helicopter carrying Iranian President Raisi crashes, search under way

The possibility also exists that due to the bad weather, the regular pilot was not willing to fly, and Raisi asked if anyone wanted the honor to fly him, and far less skilled pilot decided to give it a crack.

Re: Helicopter carrying Iranian President Raisi crashes, search under way

The Iranians said right off the bat they were flying over mountains in bad weather. If they even suspected another cause, they'd have already been running with it. (Especially with the shit show in Israel right now).

Re: US Election 2024: Grumpy Old Men

You know, looking back, how Trump could have handled it, and in line with his actions would have been simple -

"Yeah, I banged her. My wife knew all about it and was okay with it"
Follow that up by 'bribing' his wife to agree with that statement, and now its a non-issue.

Last I heard, there aren't any trials scheduled for Trump between the end of the current one and election day. Plenty of room for the IRS to slot themselves in if they move quickly.

It's not about conquering Gaza. I don't think it ever was.

Honestly, this is looking more and more like ethnic cleansing to me.

Also, I hate to say it, I've never heard of this Sci-fi series, therefore I could care less.

Really Zor, as far as your RARs go, this one isn't even scraping the bottom of the barrel. This is what the barrel was put on top of to cover up.

Netanyahu can stop without it being a coup. It would be policy turnaround, but not a coup.
Hell, all he'd have to do is call off the attack, and call an election, then step down. That's like, what, a 30 minute press conference?
