Please and thank yous are enough to be polite to strangers.

Cut out the middle man, eat shit

Why would I ignore it? It works. Take a look at china, they are using the exact same tools after the failure of imported soviet communism

Keep on learning 19th century ideology in the 21st

Well let’s just see what people who actually have a clue have to say muffin https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/attritional-art-war-lessons-russian-war-ukraine

This still doesn’t make Russia magically have a larger industrial base than NATO, it’s absurd.

And the fact that you don’t even understand why using nominal GDP is nonsensical really does add to the comedy.

You think Price Point Parity is a measure of size, so I’m not sure you even understand what you are trying to claim. You’re certainly not using the right terms

And if you think Russia allocating 40% of government spending to be able to wage war on one small country makes them capable, good luck 🤞

Thanks for the essay

So we can make pills that cost 10 cents each and sell them for $500 each.

Lol. Because no R&D is involved. Most drugs are generics now anyway

Because the two week special military operation has floundered.

PPP isn’t related to size, doughnut. Do you even know what it stands for?

Bigger industry? Russia GDP 2.24 trillion dollars

NATO GDP 45 trillion dollars

Lol

Meanwhile NATO is far behind Russia in weapons, manpower and industrial might.

Russia, with an economy smaller than Italy’s?

The tines are a changing

The pile of crap that is docusign will only work for me in incognito mode.

I contacted support and they suggested I tried it and it works, so they closed the case

🤦‍♂️

What a shit hole

Of course, if you’re not getting an actual pay rise. Then you strike until you get a better deal or start making money without exchanging it for units of time.

Inflation means money is worth less than before and inflation is actually money creation. Higher supply means lower demand. Record profits are only records because the nominal value is higher, but the real value isn’t.

Companies operate on gross margin, so 30% margin is always 30% of the total price. The actual value is irrelevant.

Sorry, but you are trying to argue that black is white. It’s pointless.

Do you not understand what sorry means?

I’m not insulting you. You’re just wrong and you don’t have the capacity to admit it.

Here’s an example

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Severn_Crossing

It was built by a french company that specialised in bridge building.

The maintenance was not performed by the same company

Specialisation of skills is how you utilise capital efficiency

Sorry, but you are trying to argue that black is white. It’s pointless.

You then present my argument back to me that it is expensive to have two specialised teams.

A maintenance crew does not build bridges. It would be too expensive to have architects and engineers sitting around waiting for a bridge to be built

It’s an inefficient use of capital, which was my initial point… Just saying socialism fixes all problems is naive at best.

They are two different things you moron.

I have worked in civil engineering, maybe when you finish high school you could too!

You really don’t understand why it would be more expensive to have two completely different crews?

🤦‍♂️

Lol. How many maintenance crews are pouring thousands of tons of steel reinforced concrete?

How many architects are maintaining bridges?

It’s ok to admit when you’re wrong you know?

Yes, one is construction, one is maintenance… These are different things…

Why do you think bridges need rebuilding? How many times has Arkadiko Bridge been rebuilt?

No, that’d be a stupid thing to think.

People who maintain bridges are not the same as those who build them though.

If your bridges constantly need rebuilding, you’re not building very good bridges.
