'The president doing this is crucial. I've seen the polling, but I really hope the American people will be with him because he's doing this to make the whole world safer" -- NATO Secretary Mark Rutte

"AI uses water" ok bro

Your nervous system relaxes when your finances are in order.

I am just a guy that likes making my maps but I do feel somewhat compelled to say that Iran has a particularly good power grid, and gas distribution network. Like nearly impossible to destroy. I mean, I think Iran has a better gas transmission footprint than Canada. I know know who this tweet is for, but maybe these maps are helpful. In 2017, Iran exported 7,871 GWh and imported ~4 kWh, mainly exporting to Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Iran's 4.3MWh per capita of annual electricity consumption is actually in-line with the UK at 4.6MWh per capita, and ~25% ahead of countries like Brazil and South Africa. Attacking a very hardened system like this, and opening the Gulf up to attacks on far more single-failure-point assets -- seems wildly, WILDLY stupid.

South Africa has 61 million citizens yet fewer than 1 million pay 60% of all personal income tax! How is this sustainable? Taxpayers are strained and can't continue funding the ANC's socialist policies. State welfare doesn't grow the economy! Those ANC devils are very abusive!

The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) would like to clarify the matter relating to SABC News programme, Face the Nation. The SABC like any other broadcaster exercises its prerogative to change its programming, based on its operations and set guidelines. This is an industry and market standard that often takes place annually. The changes to our programming are informed by our content delivery strategy and various factors relevant to the overall performance of the show in terms of its audience ratings and revenue performance amongst others. Therefore our programmes are not automatically re-commissioned, but follow a thorough review process. Face the Nation like all our programmes had specific performance targets which were communicated with all the relevant parties involved. It is appalling that there are individuals who are now creating an impression that this specific programme is not recommissioned due to external influence. SABC News has over the years built a strong and reputable brand which is credible and anchored on its principles and values of impartiality and independence. Our editorial decisions are not influenced by any external stakeholder.
