More direct route, compare a map of the Interstates to a map of just the rails and you’ll see it pretty well, that’s not even accounting for the non interstate highways and biways.

Personally I’d like to disappear some of the folks Trump pardoned. Can’t undo what I’d do to them, and I ain’t talking murder.


Sure but at least I’ll be able to ship things in from Europe without it being fucking hyper inflated. I just want my swedish metal albums damnit.


Cloning as a rule is kinda fucky, if memory serves right there was an Ibex species that was cloned out of extinction awhile back and most of the subjects were stillborn, except for one that basically died immediately after. But that was also using a sheep surrogate so maybe the species barrier introduced complications.


Can we go backing to my ancestors banditry where you mug Mormons and rob trains?


Oh I ain’t denying that it sucks ass, but there is a somewhat reasonable argument that can be made that just keeping what you can afloat and waiting for the feds to implode is the optimal strategy right now. It’s kinda like how the regional nationalist movements just kinda waited for the Soviets to implode towards the end. Not fun by any means and I personally disagree, I think the states should be black bagging the fuckers and shutting off utilities to their facilities. But open revolt is still at least a couple months away, kinda depends how long this shutdown goes on for and how economic effects manifest.


Weakens his narrative and gives states more of a casus bellum to ignore or even toss out feds should the time come. Woo end of empire politics ain’t it FUN. Why couldn’t we have gone out like the Hittites at least then I could stab strange people coming from the sea.


So is turning Utah into a salt pile out of the question or…


I still hold onto my ancestors beliefs that Mormons are stupid and Missouri shouldve finished their fucking job. Because after over a hundred and fifty fucken years they are still overly controlling shitstains filled with utter entitlement while believing in shit so stupid and divergent from mainline Christianity the Gnostics are giving them side eye.


This has the cadence of the Monty Python strange women in ponds skit.


Also if ATC continues to implode there’s a solid chance it could be up to a week without planes to move troops.


Preaching to the choir on that one, got diagnosis with autism when I was like 3. But yeah throw me on the woods and once I get past the initial discomfort I’d probably do alright.


Do you really think these pissants know what a triumph actually is or the purpose of a triumphal arch? They probably just see the Greco-Roman inspired stuff around Washington DC and want to mimic it not getting that the various architects of DC were Romaboos making a point, except the Washington monument that’s straight Egyptaboo which is fitting cause the Romans were also Egyptaboos.


Kinda reminds me how in ancients Scandinavian some people with mental illness were either seer’s or seen as gifted by the gods. Nowadays we call it schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.


It may still have a net positive on emissions if only barely, a flight to Disneyworld gets canceled and not replaced is generally good, same thing with non essential conferences and conventions. But it could also respin up road trip culture, IE packing into and going to Carlsbad Caverns instead of flying out to the Florida.


More specifically he was trying to obfuscate with gang violence amongst people of color only to catch a bullet in Mormonland. Which is so fucken white it makes my pasty ass uncomfortable.


Also one of the oldest examples I know of, it was one of the many complaints that were part of Martin Luther’s thesis. That’s just the most concrete one I know about, there are less solid ones going back as early as the 700s.


Just to add some more data points for you about the German economy under the Nazis.
The German economy was already recovering under the Weimar Republic but it was slow going, the Nazis were able to more or less ride it and claim credit which when combined with morally shit but economically sensible shit like pushing women out of certain jobs in favor of men made the initial economy relatively stable.Note this is also stupid long term but that’s measured in the terms of decades, also the only reason it worked was because of early 20th familial economics this wouldn’t work in the modern US for example.
Then theres the stripping wealthy minorities of their wealth which allowed them to fuel the war economy they were building but had the obvious effect of hurting the economy long term and scareing educated and experienced professionals away. The death camps come later long after the economy was exclusively propped up by the war and even then they wasted so much resources that it fucked them over even more.
Finally there’s the stripping of resources from conquered territories which was the only reason they were able to continue past Czechoslovakia, the German economy by the time of the invasion of Poland was basically a great wyrm consuming anything and everything it could find to keep itself alive. There’s a reason they slowed down so much invading the Soviets, it’s cause the Soviets scorched earthed everything and Africa had basically no payout.
But yeah the US ain’t got the same circumstances and if even a small civil war kicked off it’d probably be more than enough to kill the feds and half the states at this point. The US simply isn’t robust enough, it can’t fuel itself with revanchists like the Nazis nor can it burn itself to be reborn like Rome. The US is an old empire showing its age and facing a springtime of nations like the Austro-Hungarian empire or the Ottoman empire.
Quite a few of them are divorced seems a bit unfair that some of them are immune. Just disappear the agents themselves, most regions have abandoned mines or remote tracts of land.
