I don’t even consider a station wagon a big car anymore. And I bet the vast majority of station wagon owners actually need the space. No shot the average SUV owner needs the weight for anything other than to feel “safe” in their tank.

So it sounds like zoning laws are the problem?

Huh, I wonder who that’s for.

Thank God for auto pay

I’m the same way. It’s as if my brain is very good at holding connected ideas and forming complex models, but hopelessly bad at holding unrelated information. Like, I can hold an entire schematic in my head all day but can’t remember a random zipcode longer than a few seconds.

Oh, that all sounds great. I really was just curious about this specific case of using training money for buying tanks.

Well, the implication of the comic is that funds for police training go to police militarization. I’m asking if this actually happened, but like you suggest it’s probably more of a vibes thing.

Is there an example of this happening? Would the money not be earmarked?

AOC is pragmatic, and sometimes pragmatism looks like hypocrisy.

Depends on the context. Maybe he means best at making lines go up??

Which branch should get their power?

tldr: Inflation was 9% last year, and 3% this year

I dunno, it could be similar. AI has this aura of being something that every business could make use of, even if they don’t have a concrete use case. I could see “X but with an AI” be a similar bubble to “X but on the web”. We’ll see.

I mean, it is different than crypto, but that’s an incredibly low bar to clear.

At least according to my All feed, this is unpopular on Lemmy.

Here you go: F-35 costs $80m. NYPD 2022 payouts $121m. Pentagon failed its audit by at least a couple hundred billion out of 3 trillion budget, though technically that isn’t money lost, that is the total records that auditors weren’t able to access during the audit.

The problem is replacing nuclear with renewables does nothing to combat climate change. We need to be reducing fossil fuels. At the very least, they should have phased out coal before nuclear. While france was busy reducing its dependence on coal, Germany remains the largest producer of coal in Europe.
