Fun fact, that the famous Holocaust five digit number is still used today in IBM mainframe RACFs, this is coming from the punch cards era, when the census data was tabulated in Nazi Germany with the help of Thomas Watson.

I worked at a large US bank, and we used IBM mainframes at the core, including user identity.

Every employee had a five digit number as login, no different than Holocaust prisoner number, with a prefix, indicating user account type (employee, non-employee, service acct, etc).

My IBM number was 23579

Why is it flagged? This is disguisting, the kind of people who do this to suppress discussion

First they came for illegals

Then they went after visa holders

Then they came for permanent residents

Now they are after citizens

It is not proven that he is a shooter, he is alleged shooter, but there are a lot of inconsistencies in the official FBI story.

Plus the suspect pleaded not guilty, so let's respect his right to be innocent until proven guilty.

>intentionally moved abroad for geopolitical reasons

not geopolitical, but economical. US corporations ran labor arbitrage by shipping $20/hr jobs to China that was paid ~$0.20/hr and pocketed profits (you can lookup S&P 500 chart)

USA got S&P500 chart going up

China got industrialization

>thanks to no gun control

talking about gun control as a form of solution is talking about spilled milk under the bridge. There are 100 guns per capita in the US and even if gun sales are banned, the black market will be enough to supply guns for another century

its not the 2nd amendment that killed him, it is political violence.

Political violence cannot be deterred with strict gun laws. Remember, it is only law abiding citizens who are affected by the gun laws. Criminals by definition don't need to follow the law and they don't need the 2nd amendment

this is a trivial problem, same way rental car companies solved it:

  1. operator or computer vision detects dirt in salon
  2. route the autonomous vehicle to contracted carwash
  3. return car back to service
  4. charge customer for the cleanup

the only secret thing was the agreement from JFK to remove missiles from Turkey, that part was hidden from the public to artificially prop up JFK's image as tough on Soviets, while in reality:

1. Blockade was not full, two American warships, the USS Essex and the USS Gearing, were ready to intercept tanker Bucharest, which could have led to war. Instead, Kennedy ordered to let the Bucharest through the quarantine

2. U-2 plane was shot down and Maj. Rudolf Anderson has died

as for "weapons and cash continue to pour" - it does not conflict with the Russian strategy, you might be surprised, but it is perfectly fine for Russians, that the US's allies are expending their resources on overpriced US military gear, that is dependent on Chinese rare earth exports
