Gooning to a theoretical war is wild.

No, but they originated from the South.

FFS, how do you think Jim Crow ended?

If Southern anti-segregationists and civil rights groups had not stood firm against discrimination, Jim Crow would have never ended.

"Southerners" is not a synonym for ex-slaveowners and segregationists. Denigrating the entirety of the South for the actions of a few is gross.

Also, your remarks have lead me to believe that you seem to think racism simply never existed in the North, which is just an entirely laughable concept.

Some of the most violent resistance to the civil rights movement, was in Chicago, a lovely Midwestern town as you might put it.

I'd say confusing people into thinking the opposite by changing the meaning of fairly established terms is also awful marketing.

They should just use a different word. There are plenty.

The messaging is quite hard to miss with this one...

Even if they were to completely back out now, that doesn't look great, but is still probably not enough data to show a trend.

Now that many are reliant on "just-in-time" strategies, supply lines are not nearly as resilient to large trade fluctuations as they used to be, but the spike does mostly match the dip, and could be simply explained as exporters just trying to beat the tariffs by sending product early.

Now if the weeks after are also low... That's another story.

Of course.

And the IMF is a purely impartial institution and would never favor western countries in it's calculations.

And drone operators need to constantly move anyway.

It's probably not required if not using RF.

Do you think that there is a dire shortage of tools for murder, and only the modern defense industry is sustaining the strained supply?

Israel, Russia, and Ukraine sure seem to think so. None are producing enough munitions domestically to satisfy themselves.

Less weapons made still means less weapon used.

OK, I guess we should stop harvesting wheat and making flour because it could possibly be used to support a genocide, but don't even bother thinking about stopping the manufacture of the bombs being dropped.

If less people worked to make weapons, there would be less weapons made.

How is this a hard concept to understand?

Imagine if they just stopped registering new cars and instead worked to bring back mass public transit to reduce the number of vehicles on the road.

I guess busses and trains are just too woke for CA.
