does anyone know anythign about Gitlab?
? Is that a production facility for a specific stereotype of Englishman?
supposedly that is where the leaked CCP list can be found but I don’t know if it’s a legit site
enough to know I don't care for it
Fiat is backed by the force of the military, the citizens probably don't want to see what that looks like, those citizens of many other nations have.
The time bombs Reagan set were egregiously reckless.
Still back reading.
To be fair, he genuinely believed in some bad ideas.
I thought Reagans job was collect and read good jokes?
Hahaha
and when you can't feed your military? ... you are done
Scorched Earth Ronnie
Its fitting that a man who made it his mission to be funny, was shot as a prank.
Nope. Reagan was supposed to play Cowboys badly. 😉
😄
The military will be the last to go hungry.
Madman strategy and Cowboystrategy. Not bad. Brought down the SU
nope the farmers, else the military become farmers
Yes. The Ruskies would do something, and declare they could win a hot war. Reagan would ignore them and deploy tech everyone knew the Ruskies could defeat. The Ruskies were convinced we knew something about reality they did not know.
@meglide the man had a bigger collection of handwritten jokes than any statesman before or after him.

Eliminating the top tax bracket "disincentivised" corporations from reinvesting from paying their middle managers better, investing in infrastructure improvements, and investing in R&D. Adjusted for inflation the first $7m would have been taxed at our current top tax bracket. Anything about $7m, was taxed at 74% (since the mid 60's, it used to be higher). It made no sense to pay people more that $7m, because the govt would get most of it. That's why CEO's, actors, athletes, etc. didn't used to make obscene amounts of money before 1980. Look at the earnings of Joe Namath, Terry Bradshaw, Cy Young, etc. They made nothing compared to what athletes make now. Movies cost a dollar, gas was cheap, you could take your family to a ball game for $50 and leave with a jersey.
We had a strong middle class, our innovation was off the charts, people had great retirements, few people complained about healthcase (because their union contracts covered it), most people paid into pensions (but Wall Street wanted that money and convinced us that 401K's would be better)... It all changed with the Trickle-down theory. Rich people get rich by not spending their money.
With no penalty for paying insane salaries - there was no reason to distribute the wealth. Why pay the American worker what they are worth, when we can go offshore and pay pennies on the dollar. Hell, we even pay for the Navy to protect those shipping lanes. It all starts with Reagan.
@meglide there you go. Thus my comment above. No one wanted a POTUS with opinions after Carter. Ronald took this job seriously!
(pun intended)
@TaLoN132 Yup. Time delayed wrecking ball. We got to live to pay the price.
@TaLoN132 "It all starts with Reagan." WRONG starts with Wilson ends with Nixon ... ever president after that is just along for the ride.
I always thought it started with Washington...
Adam and Eve as the story goes
Before before before....
Im not very religious, so cro magnon?
@Doc big bang and lots of inflation but I don't know if that's cosmology or federal budget
Just heard news that first lawsuit being filed against Covid PCR testing, as it doesnt distinguish between live transmissible virus and dead virus which can’t do harm, and is falsely raising the infection numbers and causing worse economic harm
@meglide I hear rumors big bang is a mathematical model that scientism turned into genesis.
pr definition
more like big bang is where the math stops and the speculation begins
They always rebell against the borders.

@Doc I have a feeling it is you to thank for the blessing we are about to receive. I hope I'm wrong. 🤞
