I’ll also throw in November Kelly’s No Gods No Mayors, and occasional guests Failure To Launch (space disasters) and Beyond The Breakers (shipwrecks).

But you know who does employ children, Sophie?

Yes, but most places have gone to accrued time because that way most people will use a good chunk of it before summer on various other things.

I switched to Tidal and love it.

No love for iron snails?

And also the parts where the GM is going “this would make the scene better even though it doesn’t work that way” like the scene in the graveyard.

The US did this for a while from the later 70s until the mid 80s. White-label packaging, with just the name of the foodstuff or item printed on it, in its own separate aisle. Most of these evolved later on into store brands.

You can also do Lego minifigs if you don’t mind paying shipping. They’re super cheap from places like Bricklink and you can get a lot of different designs pretty easy.

Arguably, the list alone, plus the customized police vehicle and police outfit, would be enough premeditation.

I think he’ll try bigger and simply try to nationalize or end licensing for the big 4.

You’re missing the point. The admin has full control over spectrum licensing. This means Trump could easily have the FCC just revoke all other spectrum licenses for cellphone comms, and just forcibly seize those towers. Don’t look at it like it’s going to operate like a corporation, because I promise you it won’t.

See, here’s the thing when you’re the President. You can just have your FCC chair shut them down. You can actively quash literally any boundaries to being a monopoly, and nobody can do anything about it (from a legal or regulatory standpoint).

Yup. It’s just engineers telling it to concoct a scenario in which it would avoid being shut down at cost of human life.

Elected? Nah, I’m fairly sure they’ll find Trump dead of something age-related inside two years, and then Vance gets the big chair.

They actually already do. Many grocery stores, when tossing food, require it to be made inedible - bleach or turpentine or something else horrifyingly bad to ingest and strong-smelling gets dumped on it.

Several of these people actually succeeded in prosecuting a war against invading US forces like the Shoshone.

Then, of course, we just reneged on the treaties later when they weren’t on a war footing.

This. It’s literally just suggesting “well how about we just let them die”, AKA murder. The HHS especially is now just being filled with eugenicists who are, in general, too chickenshit to just come out and say “well we should kill all of them”.

Hey hey, it’s not JUST about that!

It’s also because it classifies child marriage as abuse. You can still get married to or marry off your child as young as 12 in some states.

So to expand on these, because a lot of people seem to think “it’s because they cared”, that’s only partially it.

Back before faster travel methods, if you wanted a small bird for any reason and it had to travel any significant distance, you would assume at least a 75% fatality rate from stress, with that increasing to roughly 90% over greater distances.

So canaries and finches were expensive, and unless your mine was close to a port city, you’d be traveling 3-4 days at least. Need 4 canaries? Better buy 40.

No no, don’t try to boil it down to “they want us fighting each other”. Those wealthy people, and a good chunk of those poorer people, actually truly believe in the things they are saying. A lot of them TRULY, DEEPLY BELIEVE that they have to shout this and spread the word because the stakes are nothing less than literal life and death.
