[02:24]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I had nitrile gloves and a respirator and goggles on and a gallon of bug poison with a sprayer at the last apartment.
[02:25]	IsambardPrince	I told Mandy "We are going in with the first wave, means more bugs for us to kill. You smash the entire area and kill anything that's got more than two legs!"
[02:25]	MinceR	:>
[02:25]	MinceR	did anyone say "I'm doing my part!"
[02:25]	MinceR	?
[02:26]	IsambardPrince	No.
[02:26]	IsambardPrince	Anyway, that movie made no sense except as a parody.
[02:27]	IsambardPrince	So I'm not sure why any of the critics called Paul Verhoeven a Nazi.
[02:27]	MinceR	because most people are idiots
[02:27]	MinceR	also, the alleged "reality" we live in also makes no sense except as a parody
[02:27]	IsambardPrince	No military would think that sending human soldiers to fight warrior drone bugs that are basically expendable would be a good strategy.
[02:28]	IsambardPrince	You couldn't create an army that large except maybe as Clone Troopers.
[02:28]	MinceR	some of them would, but all they have are warrior drone humans they consider expendable
[02:28]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The Q bomb made more sense.
[02:28]	MinceR	convicts with no training, and if they're lucky, they get an AK
[02:28]	IsambardPrince	Even though the movie that introduced it was terrible.
[02:28]	IsambardPrince	You just send the fleet in and drop a Q Bomb on the bug planets and there's no more bug planets.
[02:29]	MinceR	the bomb explodes, some guy who looks like John de Lancie comes out and kills all the bugs?
[02:29]	IsambardPrince	Assuming that you could build enough of them I suppose. They never said how hard it was to build one. They dropped one on the planet with the God Bug.
[02:30]	IsambardPrince	The God Bug was so big that it grew inside of a planet and displaced most of the planet except for the surface.
[02:30]	MinceR	:)
[02:30]	IsambardPrince	It had immense telepathic powers, and was in turn controlling the Brain Bugs.
[02:31]	IsambardPrince	The script for that movie could have been saved with some more editing.
[02:31]	IsambardPrince	It turned out that the Brain Bug at the end of the first movie let itself be captured so it could brainwash the human leadership.
[02:31]	MinceR	:)
[02:32]	IsambardPrince	And it did brainwash the fleet admiral and convert him to the bug religion.

[03:51]	IsambardPrince	Then the recruiters say "Hey, it's an income, your family needs you, we'll pay for your healthcare and school, if you survive." And a lot of people do it because the factories are closed and nobody is hiring.

[20:40]	MinceR	they don't even make them in the usa, do they
[20:44]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The USA doesn't make anything really.
[20:44]	IsambardPrince	Unless it can be automated by at least 90%.
[20:44]	IsambardPrince	So there are certain things we produce a lot of if it can be highly automated.
[20:44]	IsambardPrince	But the jobs are basically gone either way.
[20:45]	IsambardPrince	I was looking at the Hyundai/KIA factory in Georgia where they made that 2018 KIA I had repossessed.
[20:45]	IsambardPrince	It's mostly automated, and they're investing  in humanoid robots to do many of the other jobs.
[20:45]	IsambardPrince	So more auto workers will lose their jobs, but the price of the car won't come down.
[20:45]	IsambardPrince	If you're lucky it just won't go up more than it has for a while.

[20:46]	IsambardPrince	But then you run into problems where over the span of the whole economy, everyone loses their jobs and nobody can buy the stuff anymore.
[20:46]	IsambardPrince	Henry Ford said that it was good for business to have well paid workers who could buy the product.
[20:47]	IsambardPrince	I always said that Walmart's model in the 2000s was unsustainable because you had 1.4 million people working at Walmart, which is larger than the US military by headcount, but most of them had to shop for things at Dollar Tree and Aldi and go on welfare.

[20:50]	IsambardPrince	When one company does layoffs and efficiency drives, it might work out for them, and increase profits.
[20:51]	IsambardPrince	When they all do it, it means eventually there's no customers, and the economy goes ahead and fails.
[20:51]	IsambardPrince	The political environment destabilizes because nobody can find work, and some demand welfare expansion.

[20:51]	IsambardPrince	Less people paying tax makes welfare expansion impossible, and drives inflation.
[20:51]	IsambardPrince	Eventually, the government will cause a war (like Iran) and use the Army to capture the unemployed workers.

[21:00]	IsambardPrince	There was a joke on Facebook about test driving a car just because gas prices are so high. I remember mom test drove a pickup truck for the evening in the 90s and used it to help my Aunt move to another apartment. Then we were going to have Thanksgiving with her cousin and his wife up in Fort Wayne in 1998, and she went to a car dealership and asked to test drive a new Buick Century for the evening. I enjoyed that. A brand new Buick 
[21:00]	IsambardPrince	with leather seats and an air ride suspension. That was the best car ride ever. You're not supposed to do that, but my mom has always done things like this.
[21:01]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz-TR2, The older Buicks were awesome. Many of the 1998 models are still working.
[21:01]	IsambardPrince	They don't look the best anymore, but they work, and most of the parts are original.
[21:02]	IsambardPrince	I'm convinced that the Type 2 ignition coils have even gotten worse over the years.
[21:02]	IsambardPrince	I've seen 1991 models with the original, numbered, factory coils.
[21:02]	IsambardPrince	But I bought some GM Original Parts coils off Amazon and one of them failed 3 months later.
[21:05]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Classic lesson in "Leave it alone!"
[21:05]	IsambardPrince	I figured that I would do some preventive maintenance because coils can fail every so often and they were all the ones that came with the car. Turned out the joke was on me.

[21:33]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz-TR2, Imperial margarine is on sale for $2.99 a pound this week for Easter I guess.
[21:33]	IsambardPrince	I remember it was 49 cents a pound around 1993 or so
[21:35]	IsambardPrince	They can lie to us and say inflation is whatever they want to say it is. I was there in the 90s and remember what we paid for things, and depending on what it was, the cost is now 6-8 times higher in many cases. Sometimes it's only triple, like a comparable new car (only they aren't made as well now).
