  • The Gilded/railroad barron age, did create a progressive movement in US that would eventually lead to income tax in 1913. Global leftists breathed/shared the same air. 1929 stock market crash wiped out republican representation, leading to new deal. Nazis took back control of supreme court to block progressive legislation until the 1960s. Though GI bill was republican led progressiveness (except for racial discrimination mostly in south).

    Without the USSR, and especially after its collapse, pure nazi economic oppression would/did rule. USSR was/is a nazi enemy, and global influence had to moderate the naziism to maintain democratic illusions. There needed to be respectful of social welfare because of USSR. After Reagan any concern for people was “trying to turn the US into a failed communist state”.

    At a burning rate of 2.5 kg soft pine wood per hour, their experiments showed an average power output of 4.2 watts

    While they have more complex/expensive designs that produce 13 watts with cold water heatsink start, these devices are much more expensive than a 100w solar panel which would produce the same amount of energy on a bad winter day (1 hour total sun), even when the solar is professionally installed.

    The amount of wood to burn is about 1 year of growth per day of heat + minimal electricity, and air quality in homw would be worse than North east cities during recent wildfires.

    A good start would maybe be, I dunno, get every ship at least 250 nm away from any Iranian territorial waters.

    They’re already 600nm away from Iran because getting closer gets them sunk.

    If the US wants this to end, step 1 is leave.

    This has always been the end path. Victory was declared on day 3. If US purpose is to serve Israel, then repressing Iran to the last American $ is policy that is lost if US leaves and ends the war. It’s not that Trump is demented about his impotence, it’s that smacking the wet noodle at Iran until complete humiliation is the path US establishment insists on for its master.
