The difference is, if rioters try to break into the Capitol building THIS time, they’re not going to get bottled water and a pat on the ass. The Capitol police are going to be loaded for bear.
Let’s see: Communism A system of government where the country’s wealth is concentrated into a small, ruling class of billionaires, who use the media they own to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money.

The biggest advantage of an unpiloted jet is that it can pull far more G forces. If your aircraft can make a 12G turn when most humans pilots start blacking out at 9, you’re going to win any dogfight.
Star Trek TOS episodes (1 hour show) were about 52 minutes long, with 8 minutes for commercials. By the time of TNG, episodes were down to 42 minutes. I regularly see ads every 5-6 minutes on YouTube.
Businesses never understand that it’s THEIR obnoxious, sh*tty advertising that kills something profitable, and when it finally dies, it’s surprised Pikachu faces all around.
Evangelicals call it “prosperity gospel” and it’s a total perversion of Jesus’ teachings. Basically, it claims that rich people deserve to be rich because their wealth is proof that they have God’s favor. It’s used to explain away why preachers are allowed to own private jets, yachts and diamond mines.
