We entered this war with a childish delusion? I didn't know that. They're bombing us after we bombed them? Wow. You're just telling me now for the first time.

Get ready for years of this shameless bullshit. If you thought the blame they successfully attributed to Biden over Covid supply chain issues and inflation was stupid, just wait until inevitable economic costs and terrorist blowback from this war of choice arrives.
“Anti air traffic?” “Riding free range?”
He’s decided America is really into dumb guys, similar to Newsom deciding we’re into evil guys.

Billion
By Catie Edmondson
(New York Times) -- In a Capitol Hill briefing, officials gave their most
comprehensive assessment of the cost of the first six days of the war, but the
number omitted several aspects of the operation.
Pentagon officials told lawmakers in a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill on
Tuesday that they estimated the cost of the war against Iran had exceeded
$11.3 billion in the first six days alone, according to three people familiar with
the briefing.
The estimate did not include many of the costs associated with the operation,
such as the buildup of military hardware and personnel ahead of the first
strikes. For that reason, lawmakers expect the number to grow considerably as
the Pentagon continues to calculate the costs that accumulated just in the first
week.
Still, it appeared to be the most comprehensive assessment Congress had
received so far amid mounting questions about the objectives, scope and time
frame for the war. The New York Times and The Washington Post reported
earlier that defense officials had said in recent congressional briefings that the
military used up $5.6 billion of munitions in the first two days of the war.
That is a far larger amount and munitions burn rate than had been publicly
disclosed. The Center for Strategic and International Studies had estimated that
the first 100 hours of the operation cost $3.7 billion, or $891.4 million each
day.
The first wave of the bombardment used weapons including the AGM-154 glide
bomb, which can cost from $578,000 to $836,000. The Navy …](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pnx2fjuannbdpy3337ggthpp/bafkreihcsjdum2q7hdoyqqbb5x6nhtiw3ldqmxfeuf6dutasyn2xyeecni)

$2bn/day, with $2.8bn/day in munitions alone over the first two days. I tend to think of myself as a Large Number Scale Understander but this is just mind-boggling amounts of money.
If you think the world would not be a better place without two terms of Trump, replaced by literally any democrat, you’re a fucking moron.
And yet a huge number of innocent people who are dead today would be alive if she had won in 2016.
2016 was ten years ago, get a life.
This would not be happening if she’d won because we already had a nuclear deal with Iran that Trump tore up.
So they drain resources by having to log complaints of Waymo’s stopping unexpectedly? Where can I log complaints about human drivers crushing dozens of people to death every year?
They’re calling it the best-planned war of all time
MOOOOOOOOOM THE ENEMY IS VOTING AGAIN
This is how all my nightmares begin now
You're sure spending a lot of time poasting for someone without leisure time.
I have more leisure time than either of my parents did, and far more than my grandparents.
All of Republican politics is a war of the unemployable on the employed.
Vance is staying hidden during this whole Iran war so that he can come out and run against Rubio on the basis of supposedly always being against it. He’ll barely retread this speech and give it with a straight face in the primary.
In past stories its sounded like they generally drive around to different trouble spots, stop and walk around.
Cycling degrades lithium ion batteries.
Very choice environments can support very small groups of people in that manner. Have fun trying to hang onto that land against a rival group that invested the effort into farming and outnumbers you ten to one.
The writer of this piece bought a small farm just north of Iowa City with her professor husband & has never run the farm herself. The land wasn't farmed at all from 2017 to 2020 because they couldn't find a tenant.
The U.S. and Europe have to someday realize that what the Israeli government envisions for Iran is the largest humanitarian catastrophe of the century so far
This person who posted about how she steals as a thrill replacement for her old days of drinking and taking drugs is just fucking pathetic. Losers like this are why I have to stand around waiting for someone to unlock the sunscreen.
Next time this culture of casual massacre Republicans have created and forced us all to live in ricochets back to hurt one of their own every media outlet will start wringing their hands about political violence as if this guy hasn’t been out here saying loathsome shit like this all along.
Interesting dynamic here in SF where violent crime is inarguably way down, but we probably have a rise in surprisingly salient quality of life stuff like “shit, piss and needles on the sidewalk.”
I didn’t miss your point, your point is dumb.
Americans do have a much higher standard of living than they did back then. If someone didn’t care about living up to our modern high standards and was content to live a 50’s lifestyle, they probably could afford to work 4 days a week and spend more time with their kids.
