Iran is disliked by all their Arab neighbors besides Qatar.

Is NK really a success? Are they doing well? You plan to hedge long run the world needs another poorly developed pariah state with 90 million people doing suboptimal?

Iranian leadership was fine btw dying for Martyrdom. So let’s give a strongly theological government happy with Martyrdom a nuke. Because they won’t care about the consequences.

You might know technology but you are clueless about the world. Every Iranian not in Iran hates Iran.

Btw, Iran with conventional missiles struck its Arab neighbors.

After Trump leaves office the next President will still hate Iran irregardless of political party.

The US didn’t make a space force to please the ego, it was likely to occur eventually. They aren’t spending all their time wargaming a moon invasion lol

Logistically, hacking tons of different model routers is not feasible. It would be more useful to yank the power grid.. which can be accomplished with missiles or software.

Thatcher: bad Invasion of Iraq: bad Brexit: bad Human Challenge Trials: good Free Speech: bad Too many immigrants: bad Revolving cascade of PMs who can’t get anything done: bad

Listing out a few - I guess I appreciate the Covid stuff. Hmm. still on the whole, I would be in the green longterm shorting everything about the UK.

The most interesting cultural export is Bonnie Blue (sign of decline).

Investment wise they are doing well.

They often own multiple homes.

They are not “smart” if they think a civil war will go down.. that’s poorly read people imo, sentiment pushed by the group that lost elections. And sooo context unaware. Could these people name any politics outside the US? Nope. Clueless, which is why they lost the election.

Some very smart friends are making investments in SA irt building factories.

The attendant does not want smoke… but if circle K can hire top talent to “eliminate”?

How cool would a team of 12 guys charged with hurting the hacking firm be? Awesome job. And if successful you’d have a cool story. White hat but you don’t need to work for the NSA.

Numerous papers showing the ability to easily map indoors areas with WiFi (including occupancy) it’s a liability.

There will be excuses “tariffs” etc but I heard a few have gotten calls from three letter agencies coyly telling you to improve your systems.

It’s a chance to refresh the product line! (of course at the worst time when mem prices are bleed you dry high)

Anything they pass or even look excited for is a negative signal. These people seem inept on every front, and I can’t even generously find something clever about them.

Iraq, Brexit, and Speech Laws.

If a Brit told me the sky was blue, I’d double check myself.

…You could take efficiency improvement rates from previous models releases (from x -> y) and assume; they have already made “improvements” internally. This is likely closer to what their real costs are.

Some very smart people have looked at fixing the system, and there's no golden goose (except ozempic maybe). We'll need pharmacological breakthroughs.

Also, regrettably - A LOT of medical care is unnecessary but we love grandma.

we shall see

With aligned talent you can make the process neutral. I’m assuming lots of ‘eco conscious’ engineers would love to implement better practices and get paid for it.

Thailand was for sex tourism.

Singapore was cool to government/political types because Lee Kuan Yew really did pull off a miracle.

Anything but be competitive

Big Pharma needs good data. And they have annoying FDAs/whatever-regulations-body slowing them down.

If you have a serious disease they might not mind you taking it. But if you have a serious disease plus your kidneys have already shutdown - w/e drug won’t save you. The death counts as a negative. “Let me take it anyway” well fine but it’s not some huge conspiracy.

Social programs have been funded, show poor results, then seem like dead ends because of fraud.

Stealing money put aside to help the less fortunate is far more heinous imo.
