These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,… whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

    I like the part about Ukraine. Also don’t care about Taiwan.
    But kinda wish democracy maintains in us.

      You won’t care about Taiwan until your iPhone costs $3000, then you might realize it was worth defending

        Most American comment, talk about the end of democracy for millions of people and death of thousands, worry about the price of their iphone

          They’ve been trying to move chip fabricators to the US for decades. The education system is shit here and we don’t have the talent. Also it’s really difficult to get the fabricators right and built for a reasonable cost. So yeah. Your non-iphone is gonna be pricey.

              Remember when the US government gave the telecoms billions to build gigabit internet infrastructure nationwide and they fuckin just didn’t do it?

              Pepperidge Farm remembers. Show me a working fab as a result of that act after Trump and Co manage to not fuck it up and then your comment might have some merit. Note: the coming brain drain will not be kind to the USA.
