Ok I don't think our current day American socialists are actually Marxists, at least in the 100 years ago sense, and want this kind of revolutionary state. At least I consider myself somebody who wants a return to the spirit of the New Deal, back to coming together as a community (collective?) and handle issues that impact the community. I am talking food, housing, and health care insecurity. And maybe breaking up these cartels and monopolies that are looting our economy. If Mamdani and his government find some ways of doing that I am interested. If they are going to get all ideological and narrow minded and start theorizing about things instead of finding real solutions well...that will have been a waste.
How is it troubled and dangerous? We can go steal people's Presidents and threaten our closest allies and nobody can do shit about it. I mean it might be troubled for anybody who shares a hemisphere with us.
Also evironmental factors as well right? I heard Tehran has a pretty serious water issue. Edit: Ok probably not a good sign when there is a wikipedia page about how bad your water situation is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_scarcity_in_Iran
It is interesting. Certainly 2022 was disappointing but how long can this regime keep weathering these kinds of things? Hey look Macklemore was right. Or might be right.
Where has the far left done this? I presume you are referring to some place in Europe though we did have socialist mayors of cities like Milwaukee back in the day. It has been awhile since we have had anybody even pretending to be a far leftist in a position of power around these parts. So I don't really see a track record of knowing exactly what they are going to do. Well I guess Bernie Sanders was mayor of some place in Vermont. But I find your second sentence more interesting. It sounds like you are not so much talking about public safety as regulation enforcement?
Nobody can seem to agree if these leftists are going to create a police state that is going to kill millions or a lawless anarchism. In any case I am just hoping to see some new ideas of actually addressing these social ills. Anybody, left right or center, will flounder if they focus on ideology rather than the practicalities of addressing these problems. Just attempting to do anything at all seems to require some pretty radical politics these days for whatever reason.
It feels worse somehow. I think that at least in an individual casino you can just go to the guys across the street. But fair enough. You are probably going to lose, but in the unlikely event you do win they will make sure you don't win for long.
Yeah well...still counts. Same as SMU's wins. Kind of glad we are past that era. Now billionaires can just nakedly buy players but at least it is transparent.
They pretty much only dominated the SWC. They had one big win over Notre Dame in...um...the 1988 Cotton Bowl I think? Every other chance they had to do something big on the national stage they blew it. Edit: Ok they also beat Auburn in the 1986 Cotton Bowl, which was probably their best team in that stretch. And they never once finished in the top 5 during their 11 year "decade" of dominance.
That did happen. But the rivalry has shifted pretty decisively back to us after 1994. Which was...32 years ago. We went 9-2 in the 11 years after 1994, is doing one game worse really that big a difference? And Texas has had more dominant stretches, we had a 10-0-1 stretch at one point. And A&M didn't really erase us as we also lost to just about everybody else in that stretch. Our only team that was any good beat them in 1990. They act like somehow we are bending the truth or using propaganda here. It is them who think their run from 1984 to 1994 has some increased significance over any other stretch of time. And good for them but the other years still count.
I hear that if you actually are a good bettor and win these gambling apps will limit your bets or actually ban you. Is that true? Because then it really is just a heads I win, tails you lose proposition. I am way too emotionally invested in sports to ever consider betting on it.
Wow that's horrible. Get better Ship. While I am leary of the roller coaster of hopium and despair when following a serious situation like this, I hope that positive (under the circumstances) assessment is correct.
