I’m just quoting the article. Sounds like you have more to add, care to comment on what IS ‘the real factor’?

I’m pretty sure we could all have quite reasonably expected rising costs, destruction of science, frittering of international standing, increased morbidity and mortality, etc.

"The US tariffs imposed on China on 1 August 2025, played a substantial role in the increase in DRAM prices. " DJT say he gonna lower prices on day one. NOPE.

Dang! So what’s the preferred email app? The preferred email provider?

Get ready for black market socket sets. lol.

lol, no better than you at elaborating, or explaining. Are you by any chance related to Mary Poppins?

No, not at all. I’m trying to make sense of your shitty “gotcha” point, made with an oft repeated meme with no associated references. But hey, you were ‘this close’. Keep trying.

Cool, you have access to the same numbers. How would you make a comparison that makes sense of this oft repeated ‘apples to organges’ meme?

Would you be more comfortable if we compared 1920-1950 for gulags, and US prisons? Or how about just a point in time for the USA and world prisons. OH wait, I already provided you with that with the second reference. What would make y’all happy?

Ya got any sources on those figures?

I’m seeing that the Gulags had about 18 million people passed thru them from the 1920s to the mid 1950s, with about 1.5-1.7m died in detention. Population of Sov.Union 1920 - 136.8m, and 1950 178.5m. About 10% died in the gulags per these figures. https://www.britannica.com/place/Gulag

Currently approx. 11.5m are imprisoned world wide. And the USA has about 1,808,100 incarcerated. Thus approximately 15.7% of all incarcerated are in the USA.

Great news on World AIDS Day!!

Whoopsie doodles that drive got formatted, accidentally.

That’s approximately 42 million applications. I wonder how many people will die of hunger before they get approved. How is this not murdering US citizens, the same way cancelling USAID murdered people all over the world. smh.

Wait, you mean AI will foot the bill, all I have to do is the easy part of choosing something my dear ones will enjoy? Also Fuck Google!
