When he isn't a billionaire mockery of a dragon.

I assume you mean Musk? He already seems to be trying to buy his way into a shadow position in the UK, since handing the US to Putin isn't even close to enough.

The appropriate punishment is clearly laid out by the UCMJ. Musk can get fucked, since Vindman isn't subject to US laws.

If you think that history is divided into discrete events, which you seem to do, you will never be able to parse what was going on.

It isn't surprising, since you openly claim to be a conservative, but the problem with most anarchists is that they are conservatives at heart and want to divide history into discrete moments in which a single great figure managed to change things.

From here is what I have heard from the mouths of multiple "anarchists" in 49/50 states, IRL. These are the people you are aligned with. : You are actively opposed to democracy, which means that you are actively opposed to the US Constitution. You don't believe in corporations, which I wouldn't have an issue with, but you are also opposed to nationalized co-ops. You want to keep money, but you want to somehow get rid of capitalism? None of this shit works in the real world, which just underscores your complete lack of ability to take a look at multiple variables at once. In case you didn't know, Jackson policies created Keynsean economic theory, and the lack of the gold standard. Do try to keep up.

Comparing the two situations is perfectly logical once you realize that one literally created the other in the case of the US.

Historically the US has been loath to use our gold stockpiles to buy anything. Even when we were on the gold standard, we didn't trade with it. It is historical fact that our trade agreements collapsed and that caused the longest and deepest depression in US history.

Just because you happen to be fiscally conservative, doesn't mean that is a good way to run a government, and history has shown this time and again. Conservatives wreck the economy, liberals attempt to fix it, and the one time in history that we started to look at progressive policy, in 2020, it caused such a massive economic surplus that the rich freaked out and imposed artificial austerity.

The hyperinflation that has been going on in Japan for the last 30 years while they have had the money hose on? Oh, wait that's right. They're barely staying off deflation. Or maybe there was some hyperinflation here in the US? No? Not since the Great Depression? Huh. Strange that.

You're just showing that you know nothing about either modern economics or monetary theory.

Government debt is in no way comparable to personal debt. You are spreading misconceptions and misunderstanding of high finance, if not outright lies.

Paying off all American debt is directly what caused the depression, since we were founded as a nation of traders. Pay off all the debt, and we don't have any currency that is useful to other countries, and all our trade agreements died up.

Now how much debt is too much for the US to carry, is another discussion altogether

The gigantic swamp cooler sitting next to us bringing ice cold water straight from Alaskaa and Siberia is a big factor there.

Yeah, but here in the US they don't take just one piece of cake, they take the whole damn thing. Also these land whales blobbing around won't walk that far for anything. Not even more cake and ice cream.

EA-Nasir recruits Gilgamesh and Enkindu, also somehow, Beowulf

I would put Nuking Hiroshima and Nagisaki on the list of Truman issues as well.

At the very least Nagisaki. One could argue that the first bomb was necessary after we saw how hard the Japanese fought on Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Japan had already surrendered after Hiroshima, and the only condition they asked was that The Emperor not have to step down. I hindsight I don't think that would have been an issue as he apparently wasn't the driving force behind the war.

Epic Level/ God Level Campaign.

3.0/3.5 had those rules. It was fun

At 10th level spells, casters can simply make 10th level versions of any spell of lower level, and you can make literally any spell you'd like. If you make it too powerful for your current abilities, and attempt to cast it, it kills you, and IIRC that's one of the few ways to permanently kill an epic level wizard. We die all the time, have Contingencied True Resurrections prepared for every time you get in combat. They last for years so this can be done well in advance.

I believe that those are referred to in 5th edition as the casters that broke the weave of magic and one of them accidentally killed Mystra for a second or two.

It will increase automated manufacturing. We manufacture about 3 times as much stuff today in the US as we did in 1970. The problem is that we are doing it with 1/1000 the workforce. It will add very few jobs, just a lot more robots.

Don't you guys have a fire cavern? That has to produce some warmth.

Ironically, Andrew Jackson was reviled at the time. Most Americans were shocked that he got elected, and I'm unsure if he or Woodrow Wilson did more damage to the country.

Anyone on the $20 would be better than Andrew "Trail of Tears" Jackson. The dude also caused the deepest, by percentage not dollar amount, and longest depression in US history by paying off the national debt.

Or a summoner. Monster Summoning spells are crazy useful for flanking or meat shields.

Oh and someone has to have Improved Familiar to have a pseudo dragon familiar so that they can get flanking damage from "themselves."

Even without all arcane casters, once my wizard had 9th and 10th level spells, and Improved Initiative, and Epic Initiative, for a whopping +7 to their initiative rolls, which is basically an "I go first," button. Then the hard part was deciding which way I was going to blast them into oblivion.

Hell I "one-shotted" the first Lich we ran into with a perfect roll on my Time Stop, and decent rolls on the ensuing 7 Delayed Blast Fireballs. I stopped using that particular combo in caves after that, since it collapsed the one we were in, and we had to ensure the lich was dead with Xorn Movement.

They killed Killer man!

And anyway, would a landscaping company really want someone as a spokesperson that seems to sweat crude oil? Seems like they would just poison all the lawns.
