40k Orcs work like that. It leaves open the question if Orc burgers are vegan or not.

And we have another path for that. We really don't need nuclear at this point.

Not quite sure which way you're pointing. Nuclear is ridiculously expensive up front. It has to run for a long time at 100% to make any kind of economic sense.

OK, then we just deploy a whole lot of storage capacity as fast as we can to support solar and wind. Nuclear only makes sense if it's cheaper than that, and it's not.

Helps when that Intel "flagship" isn't worth covering in thermal paste.

That's a common feeling among the children of well off parents when the parents are budgeting properly. What happens is that the parents do the smart thing and invest the extra and set aside an emergency fund. Having to dip into either one is psychologically a failure. They have a budget, and they only "struggle" because they want to stay within that budget.

That might mean having store brand mac and cheese for lunch and driving a ten year old Toyota Corolla. To their children, they don't seem well off. In fact, they're the only people who can be properly considered middle class. That is, instead of being one step away from being homeless, they're two steps.

Also, what he already did. The home office tax credit was dropped for W2 employees as part of his plan. Wasn't really noticed at the time, but circumstances later on meant that a lot of people could have been taking that credit if someone else was President. Amounts to a few hundred a year--not huge, but not nothing.

IIRC, it automatically goes back to the way it was in a few more years assuming nothing else changes.

Orwell goes hard. It's unfortunate that he's known for two books that people pretend they read in high school because their English teacher made them.

Death Stars don't kill people. Traitors who won't give up the location of the secret Rebel base kill people.

And my point is that they won't try it again, because the Cuban Missile Crisis is probably the closest the world has come to nuclear war.

Yes, which is why they won't.

That's really it. The start and end of why the embargo is even still there. It hurts both Cuba and (to a lesser extent) the United States. It benefits nobody, but there's some loudmouth Cuban expats who want you to believe Batista didn't have it coming.
