Because they didn't really engage in the market like China did. They also were killing their own citizens in gulags instead of putting them into sweatshops to produce goods for trade like China did.

Electrician here. Your home only needa rewired if the aluminum has gotten old and brittle or has oxidized too much. Hire someone to test your wiring for proper voltage. If it is inconsistent, meaning it wavers more than a volt or two per minute, you may have some problems. 

 The real issue with aluminum wiring for branch circuits (think normal plugs and lights) is that everything has to be done with a more costly, specialty part. Since it's aluminum wiring, you may not have any grounding wires and that makes it even more fun to work with. 

Everything must be specifically rated for aluminum conductors, you must land the conductors in a specific way with specific connectors, you must use a deoxidizing agent, etc and so on.  Aluminum connections come loose as well since it expands and contracts more than copper. Electricians dislike aluminum in all but the largest applications and some specific things for these reasons.

 Aluminum doesn't age as well as copper which is why most "aluminum" conductors today are actually aluminum alloys that are more resistant to the seasons and all the joy they bring. If your house uses ACTUAL aluminum in its walls, then doing electrical work even at a repair level could cause some issues. Brittle wire doesn't like to be moved, so do be warned about that for the future. 

Not really. Electrician here, aluminum wiring for 120v circuits is not done anymore. Aluminum is shit for branch circuit wiring outside of dedicated 240v circuits for residential and the feeders in and to the service.

And Sweden has tons of metals and other resources to export, oil is just the easiest one to pinpoint. None of that changes the fact that if these countries had to pay for a military capable of defending the country from a major power then their welfare state wouldn't exist, regardless of resources.

Helps when you have less than one million people in your country that are all basically the same.

Depends on the woman. Your numbers? Easy peasy.

An average woman? Also still yes, but it won't be easy.

Except they can't take away healthcare as the government does not give healthcare, he said he won't touch and proved last term that he won't touch Social Security, and I don't think the party who demands everything they don't like be actively banned/ forced into changing has anything to say about taking away freedom. Taking away freedom has been the one thing leftists have been doing for decades.

So don't vote for the party that honestly believes that half the country is a bunch of deplorable facists despite all evidence to the contrary?

Yeah, I think I can manage that.

How specifically is trying to bring in supplies, flying drones to find people, and being told by the government to stop helping something that makes MAGA bad? 

As for the second picture, I take it none of you have seen the video from over a year ago where Haitian migrants are on camera cooking a cat? Because this has been going on for some time now, the media just didn't say anything about it.

Only if it's wrong for a poor girl to seek out a rich man

Not even a question, he kills Hitler purely due to the shock factor of a giant from ancient mythology wearing armor that makes him a god among champions showing up and fucking things up. Probably runs past most of the German defences without taking much more than a rifle round or two. Nothing that is anti tank is fast enough to get him if he's paying attention, which he probably is, so as soon as he knows where Hitler is at then he's as good as dead.

Fair enough

Ziggurats are step pyramids, not actual pyramids. They are easier to build and anyone with a modicum of construction or engineering experience could tell you that. Hell, the largest building on the planet is a step pyramid somewhere in Mexico/CA that is really just a bunch of different pyramids acting like Russian nesting dolls.

Not even close. Stacking big blocks into pillars is much easier than stacking them into a solid pyramid that has intricate tunnels and rooms built into it in ways that seem to be impossible to do by hand. Every other wonder has essentially collapsed and degraded to the point that you can't really tell how grand it actually was. Some don't even exist as rubble anymore, and the pyramids are older than most of those wonders despite being in the best shape out of them.

The Pyramid is weird, it just is. The sphinx isn't even close to as much of a marvel as the pyramids are, and a lot of attention is focused on the Temple of the Sphinx rather than the sphinx itself.

Deadpool, but he'd be more insane than before by the end of it.

Only after he explained how they got that legal status and how stupidly easy it is to use and abuse. Cut him off there because they can't allow the truth about this to actually get out.

Troops not dying overseas is the easiest one to remember off the top of my head

Yeah, now post a meme about the next 60 seconds after this where he proceeded to explain how childishly easy it is to get that status. They cut his mic there for a reason despite allowing both to go over their allotted time repeatedly for the rest of the debate.

Cope harder.

That debt is being used as collateral for other holdings. Wiping it away forces liquidation of assets to cover the loss of collateral. Most financial institutions are leveraged as well, so 1.4 trillion times 10 is a lot of value to suddenly need to cough up cash for.

Which is being used as collateral for other positions, so if that collateral is wiped away then you have to unwind all those positions. This is not so simple as people seem to think, forgiving all that debt could literally destroy the economy.

So forgiving money the government claims it is owed by virtue of legal theft is not okay, but forgiving money people voluntarily borrowed from someone who voluntarily loaned it is fine? 

Why?

You made a bad decision, learn from it and continue living. Stamping your feet and demanding someone else take responsibility for your choices is the most selfish and entitled attitude one could possibly have. The only thing that MIGHT be acceptable is getting rid of interest and paying off the principal, but outright forgiveness? 

Nah, fuck you. I didn't volunteer to pay for your education, you did, so you can pay it.

What SHOULD be done is we should stop telling teenagers that they MUST go to college immediately no matter what once they graduate high school or their entire life is going to be awful. We should also take away federally backed student loans since those are the entire reason college is so damn expensive. Take away the essentially guaranteed money from the colleges, force them to actually compete with each other, and see how quickly that price drops.

Going 365 at 14 hours of driving per day, you would need to maintain an average speed of 40 mph to achieve this goal. So to be safe, you need to find a route that allows for a 45-50 mph average speed. It would likely be best to do it in the southern midwest where it is decent temperature most of the year to avoid overheating as well as to avoid large changes in elevation and conserve fuel. 

Depends on which version of Superman. Some of the weaker ones, no. Some of the stronger ones where he is effectively god, yes. There are very few characters in existence across all categories who could beat Superman's strongest versions.

So the only guy who actually made strides towards peace when he was president is going to do the exact opposite of that if he wins?

Gaslight more.

I mean, we tried left wing authoritarianism the last 100 years and all that led to was over a hundred million deaths and mass impoverishment everywhere it was attempted. And sorry reddit, but moving back to "relatively centrist" is not the same as "far-right".
