    Politics Poli Sci, Econ and Game Theory Are VERY clear

    So, how about an example where this has happened without a destructive war? How do we solve this problem without extreme violence engulfing the country? I say extreme, because I believe violence is already baked in; it’s just the level of violence required to bring about requisite change isn’t...

    The Music Thread

    Is anyone listening to The Last Dinner Party? Their first album last year, Prelude to Ecstasy, had some great tracks on it, and their first single off their upcoming second album dropped recently, and if it’s any indication, their second album is going to have some great tracks on it, too.

    Off-Topic Tropical Storm / Hurricane ERIN —> coastal impacts

    Politics Approval/Disapproval Polls

    I’d be dissatisfied, too, if elections get you people like Trump and MAGA in power.

    Agree. The only protests at the parade should be non-attendance. Show up to these events and show solidarity in peaceful congregation.

    Off-Topic Resting heart rate

    58 bpm this AM while I eat breakfast. My heart rate has been 55-60 bpm since I first remember measuring it back in Junior High. I’ve been as low as 50 when I ran a lot more than I do now.

    Politics Economic News

    The Trump administration is doing everything to destroy US supremacy that our collective enemies over the past 80 years were incapable of doing. Or, counterpoint, Trump is the end game of a decades long process to cause the US to destroy itself. Regardless, the end result will be the same.

    Politics Russia - Ukraine “peace negotiations”

    We’ve had our good moments, but plenty of not so hot to pretty despicable ones, too. But ours stand out a lot since we’re a big dog on the world stage.

    Politics Is the economy already tanking?

    Q2 is going to be a bit shaky compared to Q1, as we won’t be seeing the full effects of what the administration is doing. By Q3, we’ll see negative GDP growth. And the only questions will be for how many quarters will we get economic contraction and how deep will the contraction go?

    Politics How will a Trump presidency affect you?

    My job is 90% driven by federal regulations.
