This can't explain the exclusion of Russia, since the entirely uninhabited Heard and McDonald Islands got their own entry on the list. There cannot be a trade balance with a place where nobody lives. The islands got the "base rate" of 10%, so for Russia to have been excluded there has to have been another reason
Being the son of immigrants doesn’t make him less American
I'm not sure it would. The Nazi economy was supported by plunder, they had to keep attacking to fund it. They couldn't get to Britain or America, and they had otherwise more or less run out of Europe.
I don't want to imagine the kind of atrocities they could have committed in the time that it would take for them to collapse, but I do think the collapse would have come
Based on the votes it seems like nobody is getting the joke here, but I liked it at least
He doubled down enough to hire a PI to investigate Unsworth and to tell Buzzfeed that they were "defending a child rapist" when they approached him for a comment, which is doubling down enough for me. He did claim it was all jokes and insults when Unsworth (unsuccessfully) tried to sue him for defamation
The cave diver Vernon Unsworth lived in Thailand, so Musk just tried to spread the rumour that he was a paedophile instead. And unfortunately Musk now has a bigger following and platform than ever
To be clear I don't necessarily agree with the Society's decision. I just think there is a pretty obvious possible motive without the Society having skeletons in the closet, regardless of whether it actually does or not
More likely they know that Musk has a well-documented habit of frivolous litigation and spreading lies about anyone that gets under his skin. They've decided it's not worth the fight
Woah woah woah. Moldova first. They've already got a start on that one.
look mate some of us just like fonts. don't kinkshame
Things like that can definitely be accomodated. A famous example is how the UK would keep pumped storage hydro power ready for moments like half time in major football games or breaks in popular TV shows, because the entire country would pretty much simultaneously put their kettles on
Charging a car is a much bigger draw than powering a kettle, obviously, but the point is that these things tend to be reasonably predictable and we are able to ccount for them if we know they are coming
12% daily interest lmao. If he continues to refuse to pay, it'll match the $60,000,000 he paid for Turnberry in just 38 days (assuming it compounds, I don't know if this kind of thing does)
