Because he's arguing the work is happening, just slowly and is not just a way to funnel and steal money? The opposite of the comment he's replying to?

The entire web is built on standardized e2e encryption schemes fought for by techie nerds so that we don't have these problems there.

I don't understand why you'd use GDP here. Is the assumption that, normalized for currency differences, all countries have the same gdp? That's not true.

I think argued earlier that tue money goes less far in the us because the cost of living is higher, so then normalize by cost or standard of living? But even that would assume that the average wage in the country is supporting the same lifestyle in both Russia and the us. Which it isn't. Some countries live "better" than others.

I think raw numbers are probably best here. 100 trillion in military spending is 100 trillion.

I think they're probably more worried about the us invading them. We're the ones who've been invading countries most in the past 100 years, not china.

This is exactly what he was saying though, isn't it? Biden literally used the sotu a few weeks ago to publically call them clowns and you just ignored it. You have a narrative in your head you want to be true, so you'll seek out whatever you need to make it that way. It's a waste of time to pursue your vote. It's already decided.

All those people who told me they voted for him because he was rich and therefore couldn't be bought seem to have gone very quiet.

And a bunch of poor people paying his and his billionaire friends bills for them.

I mean, the loss of the headphone jack was a downgrade for no reason beyond profits. Big screens were a tradeoff made on purpose because customers demanded it.

6 in phones are in no danger of disappearing though.

I hate small phones. I switched back to an iphone SE years ago and realized it was a pita to use anymore. Everything is.. too small.

This version naming is hrllaripusly awful. "It works on rotund tundra, but not alpine fresh. Hope that helps!"
