PMC libs are utterly confused and don’t have a clue what this person is talking about. But he’s right.

Most reliable connector and standard ever though. Wish we made things that just worked anymore. That one always did.

Same here. It’s enraging. We had near-unlimited resources and did complete clown shit with it. Meanwhile, we had a whole fucking flotilla of PMC libs telling us that assuredly nothing else was possible.
We could have built out a modern power grid, had renewables everywhere, lots of nuclear, been on the way to fusion power and revamped all of our housing. What we ended up with was fucking crypto coin, NFTs, WeWork and Juicero. Awesome.
Zelensky is in DC to thank US for just 5% of its defense budget which has vaporized the Russian military & reduced it to a laughing stock.
I remain a master strategist.

Ha! Ian Welsh tells me Russia is winning. Anyone else who is not smoking fucking planet-sized crack rocks realizes that the Russian military was destroyed with our pocket change.
The war will go on for a long time. But short of nuclear weapon usage, Russia will be in permanent retreat.
