  • Last year the US imported ~8 million barrels of oil per day from 86 countries and exported about ~10 million barrels per day to 160 countries. Why didn’t we simply net it out at 2 million and stop all imports? Setting up additional drilling infrastructure not only takes time, but it’s often far more profitable to import/export over sea or intl borders. Why would we stop the profitable export of oil and prevent the profitable purchase of oil to spend time and money just moving oil across the country?

    I mean also AI summarizing conversations is a useful feature as long as you view it as what it is. Potentially one of the few examples where an LLM is actually useful. My family has an ongoing group chat that is constantly just dumb shit; some days just 100 messages ranting about something or other, but sometimes there’s something worth seeing like events and the like. Trusting AI to glean all the information properly is dumb. Being able to use it to quickly grep what’s happening before doing your own reading isn’t.


  • I posited that Trump will continue and increase that aid because it benefits him. You didn’t address that claim at all, but instead spoke of the existing aid to Israel. I didn’t say that would stop. You never addressed my original point. Insult me all you like, it doesn’t change the fact that Trump will do whatever the fuck it takes to maintain and increase his power, and as you said “Israel is using ordinance faster than we can make it” but we can certainly make it faster, and there’s more money and power to be had in the further production of it, especially when your first goal is to remove any sort of check or balance in place when it comes to where taxpayer money goes


  • Trump loves money. One of the best ways best way for him to get more money once in power is increasing our military spending on Israel aid, that’s the “but worse” part. In what world do you think he’d do the inverse of maintaining his power? There’s a reason the military industrial complex wants him in power
