@FT Our military should close it 100% no one in or out. As long as their ships are moving they'll have money coming in.
Either open to everyone in and out, or close to everyone.
They can't afford it. And the U.S won't be hurt as china and iran.

@TheEconomist Their cash cow might be eliminated.
China has robbed Iran of oil, gas, minerals, electricity, food for decades.
If you’re doing something china is against you are doing the right thing

@TheEconomist Translation: We spoke to a bunch of enemies of the USA, and we (this shit rag) are idiotic enemies of the USA, and we all agreed that no matter what Trump does, we don't like it.
We spoke to diplomats, advisers, scholars, experts and current and former officials in China. Almost all of them see the war in Iran as a grave American error. Register for free to read why: econ.st/416vZDK

@DONROD777@WallStreetMav Almost 0% will be able to find work at all. We cannot all be ballet dancers, sports coaches, art painters and those rare professions that humans will demand humans in. The remainder goes to AGI
If all of those 10s of millions of jobs are replaced by Ai and robots, who are the customers going to be that keep the economy going?
Universal Basic Income (UBI) has already been discredited. The Fed printing all of the money to replace taxes would destroy the US Dollar.
I really don't see the economic model that exists after AI and robots eliminate 25% to 50% of the jobs. Somehow I am not able to imagine the same transition happening that we saw during previous technology changes.
Is it just me? I am not seeing the future economic system that makes sense.
One thing I am sure of, UBI is not going to be it.
@WallStreetMav@EndWokeness The Knights Templar fought Muslim forces, primarily Mamluks and Ayyubids, in the Holy Land and Iberia during the 12th-13th centuries.
It's been a long time.
@SawyerMerritt That lead truck has driven nearly every one of those miles at 82k lbs GCW, resulting in nearly 18M ton-miles. Total gross energy throughput (discharge + regen) is well over 1GWh.
NEWS: Tesla says that there are currently a few hundred Tesla Semis out in the real world that have traveled a combined 13.5 million miles, with one truck that has traveled 440,000 miles. Fleet has 95% uptime: "80% of breakdowns if you have one, are returned back to the customer in less than 24 hours, and half are back in less than 1 hour."

I wish somebody would create an airline that had this level of comfort from the 1960s. Now greed has completely taken over, and it's all about pushing as many as you can into a row and charging an arm and leg.
