surrender? 🤣 stop watching CNN dude.
as anyone with a btain saif at the start, if the IRGC falls within the year Trump will have done a tremendous job.
the IRGC have had almost 50 years preparing for this, they were never going to just fall over.

there are no "negotiations" happening. the US isnt budging on its demands, and Iran aren't prepared to give anything.
the US ain't moving all the military personnel and hardware there just to fly them all home again.
but they have to pretend they're talking to keep the markets happy.

why? using btc to fuck with the fiat system should be encouraged. i ended up with a large tax bill for the last FY and coveredbit by selling BTC. 2 reasons:
1. I had some bought on exchange that they were likely notified of, so got rid of that.
2. it was bought last year so I now have an $11k captial loss to offset against future taxes.

fuck the taxman.

you've found the flaw in democracy - letting the plebs vote!

should return to only landowners can vote, or at best 1 vote per family unit.
ie, you can't vote until either your father dies or you get married.

at the very least that will resolve a lot of the division in society. too.many husbands and wives divided over politics, they can't be raising healthy children

its interesting the BBC while running a 'live' page for the elections have it well down the list of lead stories.
sure its only councils mainly, but the Wrlsh and Scottish government elections are worthy of being the lead story?

you'll never vote out the welfare state. best you can do is find a party that limits it.
how would you propose ending the NHS for a starr? and replace it with what?
going to a private health system would require a major change to the tax system, the entire medical industry would become unemployed and trying to get various private companies to offer services to the entire country would be impossible.

best you can hope for is an overhaul of the NHS, but it will always be prone to waste and corruption.

also, you'll never find a political party that suits you. if you're a thinker then you'll always disagree with a lot of the country, but political parties have to appeal to a wider range of people.
every political party in my country have some policies I agree with and every party has some I don't agree with. i just find the one I agree with on more points and go with that. unless there is a key issue I feel very strongly about.

At the moment, I've restricted it to a small subset, but the API actually does all sorts of dialects. Including British English.

Draft, war economy, suspension of the constitution, third term. You heard it here.

I'll give you the point for indeed bring the place I heard it. Didn't believe it though.

Possibility of conscription, but thats not a bad thing. Countries with compulsory service tend to have much lower obesity and crime rates. A bit of exercise and discipline in your 20s isn't a bad thing.
The US has always been a war economy too.

Suspension of the Constitution is where you fall down. Given its the founding document of the US you can't "suspend" it. Removing it from force means removing the US from existence and creating 50 independent countries basically.
I think the US will disintegrate within 50 years max (California or Texas will secede within 20) but not in 2 years.
the 22nd Amendment may come under attack though. The 2 term limit only got passed in 1951 so its not a founding principle, and FDR had 4 consecutive terms so there is precedent.

It will be an interesting argument. it requires 38 states to change the Constitution, and 32 voted Trump last election so there is a possibility. Fairly unlikely though, and probably not a good idea for the GOP given current voting heavily favours the Dems. They could lock up the White House for decades if they ever figure out how to appeal to centre voters.
