That's us. Hey buddy, I just hope you know that I know what it's like, feel free to pm me if you're feeling angry or sad about anything

Ah well then, thanks for lowering my expectations, I honestly hoped I would be able to get an engineering internship and a home loan within the next ten years of my life but hey I guess sometimes things are meant to go to shit

No. Details and scope limitations please

Because America let's a lot of things fly to see if it works, kind of like rolling dice at a casino. Just not at a trump casino

Let's not demonize Trump man, he really brought what a lot of people thought would be a culture war into an economic war, which you may think is bad, but it's actually brought a more muted epiphany for many across both sides that for many people jobs are very important to their lives, unlike in EU where places like Scandinavia, Spain or Greece see culture wars as mud to be stepped on and brushed off but economic sanction is a more realistic declaration of conflict of interest

The reality is that the states that control the supply are in between a rock and hard place, and I truly feel bad, don't envy them one bit . Saudi, Iran and even Israel to a degree are simultaneously fighting to maintain their state power beyond being an old glorified oil/gas refinery plant, towards becoming a productive collective, staying relevant in the 21st century and also playing their cards well by selectively withholding oil for purposes beyond tanks and rockets is tough and puts pressure on them to innovate in ways that not only threatens the status quo but also the usual backwater terrorist types who they've been battling the last decade or so

I don't think dictatorships are meant to be long term anyway, but I would be careful who I would hand over any power to.

A general must always have brothers/sisters to carry upon his shoulders

At least we can trust he will give himself a deadline to step down

Okay this is where we agree. I would not be against something if it were a matter of holding back basic human curiosity.

Long term thinking is what is needed, the reality is that many things like space travel and even construction would be much better if we all recognised that everyone deserves access to have a holistic understanding of things, not like how it is now with engineering theory in the West, half baked practicals, and the flip side of the coin over in the East with lots of hardware availability, old textbooks, but next to no design software or systems level engineering to incorporate with. Sure it's great to differentiate skill sets but some systems are like Babylon, the less holistic and overlapping knowledge we have, the more communication issues and short term design problems we all come across

I wouldn't be surprised if health insurance companies in China would pull the same crap.
