Gen X spent the 80s low-key expecting nuclear Armageddon, so the whole Iran situation just hits like a throwback.

@fj I wish they’d be largely banned from American roads, too.

@Rin3d @killionaire @fj and the people who drive them really should not be. Because they think these are automobiles for a small city streets. They are showpieces now as the truck beds are so small you can’t haul anything other than your trip to Costco. Good luck putting furniture in the back of one

Not a single Republican in Congress has spoken out to condemn Trump’s genocidal threats. They are all as fascist as he is.

Normally I'd be more excited about a moon mission, but I'd vastly prefer if any other nation was doing it. Can't really care about it when the US is bombing civilian bridges in Iran and then bombing the first responders (and as of today, apparently announcing genocide. Not their first time, I guess).

@FluentInFinance my late husband was an economist and a fed bank examiner during ‘08 crash. That fool has no idea what he’s talking about.
