How to get things right: 1) get lots of things wrong. 2) learn from the mistakes. Most people forget step 2

The appropriate response to any member of ICE attempting to speak to your patient is "get the fuck out of my ER."

Trump is now ordering health agencies to stop warning Americans about bird flu and to halt publication of scientific reports. This comes as egg prices are expected to skyrocket in the coming days.

While this statement is true, it's disingenuous and misleading Ukraine uses the drone because it is readily commercially available for a reasonably low price and has a decent amount of power, allowing it to carry a small-ish payload. There is nothing sinister about this drone
Replying to @Osinttechnical
Notably, any person can walk into a Best Buy and walk out with a DJI Mavic 3 Pro, the same model heavily used in Ukraine as a reconnaissance and bomber drone.

This thread showed up in my feed b/c of someone else I follow (who also likes to overstate the "threat" of DJI drones) I'd forgotten that I'd unfollowed this osint account ages ago, but this thread served as a reminder of why Stop with the fear mongering and misleading people

Also, people are trying to paint the removal of geofencing as a prelude to an attack on the inauguration. The much more likely explanation is that DJI got fed up with the fact that they're explicitly facing a ban due to the recent NDAA and said "fine. Letter of the law it is"

they considered not hiring KPMG, but then KPMG advised them to hire KPMG, so they had to hire KPMG.
Had they considered cutting consultant costs by... simply not hiring KPMG?

Sorry but this is 100% on you. Your capitalist class decided to move your industry to China during the unipolar moment, at a time when the US - as the sole superpower - unilaterally set the rules of the global order. Ridiculous to play victim on that one. And in fact, to this day, you would have been perfectly happy with this situation had China remained your cheap labor and had they not successfully developed, despite all the odds stacked against them. The real issue therefore isn't 'deindustrialization' - it's that the expected perpetual economic hierarchy didn't materialize. You're mad that they turned the tools of globalization - which were supposed to cement your advantage - into instruments of their own development. We've seen this movie before with Japan. Same playbook: first encourage their development as a subordinate economy, then cry foul and claim unfair practices once they start competing in higher-value sectors. All leading to the Plaza Accords which crippled Japan's economy to this day. Which goes to show that this has nothing to do with you being a victim of China, but very much with your imperial reflex to crush any nation that dares compete with you, even if they follow your rules.

Why is it always 'What are Arabs doing outside of Arabia?' and 'What are Africans doing outside of Africa?' and never 'What are white people doing outside of Europe?'
Why do Muslims need to live in Europe? Why can’t they live in their own homelands?
