Average spending in a congressional primary is around $200,000…. This race has seen $35,000,000 spent. That is, by far, the most ever spent in a congressional primary.

$15,000,000 of that has come from the super PACs of Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer, and John Paulson.

China has the single largest SPR of oil in the world. The assertion that this war has brought them “to our feet” is borderline intentionally stupid

There are scarcely any professional economists who believe AI will create more jobs than it will destroy.

Do you really not see the difference between $1 of investment in a manufacturing plant and $1 of investment in a data center?

These bastards are out of control! Massive ramp up in the frequency of ads, significant decrease in the percentage of ads you can skip, and significant increase in the number of breaks with 3 ads instead of 1 or 2.

Today was the first time I saw the new ad monstrosity… a split screen where the ad plays in parallel with your video. Your video continues, but without the volume… you only hear the ad. Can’t even pause your main video until the ad is over, because the pause button pauses the ad too. So you have to end up rewinding your video back to the start of the bad break to hear what was said when they force muted you.

Complete nonsense. They know they have a monopoly… now they’re turning the screws on it.

Possibility this could be tied to the Iranians?

Lesser chance than the possibility that this OP is tied to the Israelis

There is extensive literature on this… buying smaller is often not an option. There is a significant mismatch between the building patterns of the major construction companies and the demands of the population. Basically, they stopped building anything less than 1400 square feet… and those are increasingly rare.

In some areas, zoning regulations force them too. In other areas, they know there’s no competition, so if they just build bigger, people have to buy bigger, and they make more money on bigger.

So no, buying smaller is often not an option.

Zionism isn’t a religion. At least, it’s not supposed to be.
