  • I know you don’t genuinely want to know why conservatives are seen as fiscally conservative (it’s in the name), but I’ll explain. Republicans and conservatives are different things kind of like leftist and liberals are different things. Conservatives are seen as financially conservative they want to encourage family wealth, they want rely on family instead of the gov(can’t afford to lose the family fortune), and they tend towards ‘traditional’ (conservative) jobs/industries like oil and banking (instead of crypto and self driving/EVs, that are more risky for layoffs, closures, crashes and overwork). Republicans are seen as fiscally conservative because they want a smaller government and a smaller government doesn’t need to be funded so much so the taxes don’t need to be raised. The national debt is this black hole of doom that I thought we had all agreed we would just tolerate until the world exploded and I’m personally stunned to see any president try to reduce the national deficit.







  • Basically anyone who is a fed could have seen from 3 decades away that the gov wants AI for weapons. While Open AI is involved as a government contractor (which introduces new regulations), the Feds have been poaching ‘ML/AI pros from places like Google and meta for the past 5 years. There are a shocking number of ‘super computer’ engineers working at the labs. I disagree that National security is divided among parties. It’s called ‘the mission’ because it’s a big ominous thing beyond laws. I love working with the DOE/DoD because you aren’t allowed to talk about politics at work. Can be fired for it. That’s great! Keeps things way less political.






  • Which is more hydrating? A shot of water or a gallon of water? Biden is a radically anti fossil fuel president who has halted drilling, canceled contracts, and restricted nearly every aspect of oil drilling. He even removed all federal funding from the industry that keeps American oil competitive. He specifically rushed to keep over 1/2 million off of shore drilling out of the oil industry because he knows Trump isn’t an EV messiah like Biden. 2019 was the record breaking oil year, not the past 5 years.


  • It’s war, very obviously it’s hard to control by nature. It’s hard to hold water because of its nature. I love your British example because it proves my point. Americans have lots of war experience do they know what war time tools are outdated, like tanks. It’s not just money that makes the US a military leader but experience. The more experience, the more accurate the war games are or are not. Gamblers get better with experience. Gamblers call it ‘beginners luck’ because those without experience are rarely the best.
