    Raytheon fucking rang the closing bell at the NYSE today.

    I didn't realize Raytheon was synonymous with the US Government. Are they some deep state puppeteers behind the scenes or something? Is there something we don't know about?

    Profiteering off death and destruction throughout the world under guise of spreading freedom and democracy while we prop up dictators and authoritarians. 

    How exactly are we profiting off of the war that Russia is waging on Ukraine right now? Last I checked we are spending billions on aid and military assistance with no "repayment plan". 

    I don't disagree that the US is all kinds of opportunistic and does some of the things you talk about, but I just don't see it here. If anything we've stepped up in a way I wouldn't have thought possible, with a unified senate and executive. Do you think our opportunity is to fight a direct proxy war through Ukraine instead of a proxy vs proxy war somewhere else? Do you think the US smells blood in the water and is just using Ukraine to weaken Russia before we finish them off? 

    There is no logical profit motive here for us helping Ukraine or the rest of NATO. The motive is stability and peace (at least between superpowers).

    It’s not worthless at all, it’s extremely valuable especially if you are mediocre.  Elite private universities are more sorting mechanisms for the right kind of people than they are places to get an education.  Getting sorted into the “type of person who gets into an Ivy” pile is a massive head start over the people who don’t get sorted into that pile.  

    I don't agree, but that's fine too. I think there is some benefit for people who want to get into STEM fields, because there is no other way to get the practical experience necessary without university funding labs and classes. 

    There's a lot of successful well integrated, contributing to society types that never went to school or went to a whatever school. In fact I just read an article in some business journal about women from Texas State and their business school being among the highest average paid from any business school in the country. 

    Ill take a clever and productive person from whatever background over some asshole from an ivy or top bschool all day every day. I happen to be in a position to be making those kinds of decisions too.

    Successful admission into the very elite schools is the most important part of your entire educational career.  What you do once you are there, short of spectacular implosion, is entirely perfunctory.  You’ve shown you are the type of person who gets into an elite school and that’s really about 90 percent of the benefit of matriculating there. 

    Which is why college is stupid and school in general is a big circle jerk that is completely worthless.

    What about Putin's actions through the last several years suggests he's open to agree to disagree and withdraw his troops peacefully? 

    He's all in. Ukraine is all in. We better be all in too. This ends when Putin is deposed or pulls a GWB and declares mission accomplished when he realizes not doing so will cause him more harm than good. If that's even possible at this point. 

    Except this time after mission accomplished they get no sanctions lifted. They are just permanently fucked until they give Ukraine completely back and have a regime change.

    We are all Peacocks tonight, right?  
    I’m going to be pissed if they get to hang and bang with their circus freak after we had 749 fouls called against us.

    Game plan:

    1. Tell Putin he can attend the G20. 
    2. arrest him on-site for a war crime trial. 
    3. congratulate the second in charge in Russia for becoming the new leader. 
    4. ask this new leader if he would like to become immediately recognized by all members of the UN in exchange for exiting all of Ukraine and paying for Ukraine reconstruction. Once done, sanctions would be removed, thereby cementing his position with all Russian people. 
    5. profit?

    Not a terrible idea. 

  11. Lots of really desperate folks in here making nonsensical arguments. 

    War is happening and one person can stop the war and there absolutely will be peace. That person is Putin and it requires him leaving the Ukraine the fuck alone as a sovereign nation. Anything else is stupid and absolutely cause for violence. Ukraine must as a sovereign nation defend their borders, otherwise it is not a sovereign state. 

    Everyone wants this over except one person. Stop coming up with ways to placate that person.

    Read through the thread but thought I'd bump this up. I'm starting to date someone who already has an Arbnb booked for memorial day weekend.  I assume that she was supposed to go with her ex.  She already mentioned she is looking for someone to go with her but might just cancel the trip. I originally said yeah that sounds fun I'd probably be down.  However, I've read about the place more recently in Feb and March and it sounds like a trendy place lacking any infrastructure.  Anyone have any good reasons to not go here? I'm mainly just looking for some good excuses lol

    Go to Cancun.
