@MorEdge_Insight It is the location of the Imam Husayn shrine in Karbala Iraq. The burial site of Muhammad’s grandson and one of the holiest sites in Shia Islam…or so says Google

This is a message for the IRGC:
I believe you are planning on striking the main steel factory in Israel. So I’d like to help.
These are the precise coordinates of the steel plant. And there is a large secret military facility surrounding it, so you may need 4-5 heavy ballistic missiles to destroy the whole facility and military base.
32°36′59″N
44°01′57″E
Happy hunting.

@EYakoby Right

Elizabeth Warren is introducing a wealth tax.
The bill would impose an annual 2% tax on the net worth of households over $50 million, with billionaires paying 3%.
And, to deter the ultra-rich from leaving the country to avoid the tax, the bill would also levy a 40% "exit tax" on anyone worth more than $50 million who renounces their U.S. citizenship.

@Trey_js @KatieMiller There is some academic research that shows if adolescent brains are not stimulated with cognitive challenges from math and especially algebra and geometry negatively affects cognitive development.(Psychology Today 6/9/21)

@KatieMiller Tbf will math really matter once AI models mature?
Pretty sure eventually the calculation aspect will be of no use? Maybe I’m missing something

Twelve years ago, San Francisco killed 8th-grade Algebra in the name of equity. Advanced math enrollment (including AP Calculus) dropped, and racial gaps expanded.
China graduates ~1.3 million engineers yearly vs. just 130,000 in the U.S.
Last night, the SF school board finally voted 4-3 to bring math back.
When DEI overrides academic standards, America falls behind.

@SunsetRanch17 @MaryBowdenMD Very few actually rejected. Most USM grads are not applying for these specialties.

@MaryBowdenMD I wish I knew how many Americans were rejected from these matches and why. How can we urge more Americans to enter general medicine? We need them.

@MaryBowdenMD Grok how many foreign medical school graduates Bach dermatology, ophthalmology, orthopedic surgery and neurosurgery?

@its_The_Dr Joe, unless she was born on Mars, she can go to the town hall where she was born and get a copy of her certificate. If I could do that in New York City, she should be able to do that from wherever she’s from.

@NOLAnews I wonder if the people who are commenting about how dumb Elon is understand that when you put a tunnel in you, don’t put it underwater. You put it underground. Because guess what’s lying under the water?

@JonathanTurley I think Saint Ignatius just slapped himself in the forehead

Loyola University newspaper has issued an apology in the wake of the murder of freshman Sheridan Gorman...ostensibly to her accused murderer. The Phoenix was sorry for calling Jose Medina-Medina an "illegal immigrant" instead of a "Rogers Park Resident"...thecollegefix.com/loyola-newspap…

@fuckyouiquit So the problem with that logic is reimbursement from Social Security is dependent upon your earnings. So if you remove the cap, all you’re doing is deferring income to those folks when they retire. Social Security is not tax is an investment.
English

Every dollar earned below $184,500 a year has a Social Security tax of 12.4%. Everything after that cap is exempt. If we lift this cap on the wealthiest earners, Social Security would be fully funded till 2070. The cap should not exist.

The trust funds for Social Security and Medicaid will run out of money in as little as 8 years, a shorter time frame than previously estimated, according to a report issued Wednesday by the programs' trustees. abcnews.link/r5kTy1r

So I’m not sure, respectfully I agree on the too small thesis.
The US Navy has maybe 50 ships deployed to the gulf and eastern Mediterranean Sea. Many of those are part of the 5th fleet based out of Bahrain. The 2 carrier groups and 2 marine amphibious assault ships and who knows how many submarines.
That being said: this represents less than 20% of active hulls.
That leaves at least 200 plus capital ships at sea.
Same for airforce, army and Marines.
The carriers are stretched now especially following fire on the Ford.
Anyway, what say you?

My latest for @19_forty_five
The biggest lesson China will draw from the Iran War is that the US military is too small and too ‘exquisite’ - the navy has too few ships, missile defense is too costly, and so on - resulting in overextension
