Its def a way around church funding. But a legal one. So the use of laundering weakens the complaint.

The only potential legal question. Is are churches buying the bible or openly encouraging memembers to. And let's be honest. That tax dodge is totally ignored by the IRS for so long. I can see it getting challenged as unequal application of law. Unless the IRS dose some major attack on most churches.

Edit; odd autocorrect. Nuking vs buying.

Not gonna claim any foresight.

But now in 2024. It dose seem rather insane to me. That no one predicted the energy problems of proof of work.

We were well aware of the co2 cost of computing.

1. the first part is only true In relation to the ideals of the supports of socialism.

Socialists care about the ownership of the means of production.

Capatalism dose not even consider the term. They only care about the result to indevidual growth.

As a example that makes my point. Elon musk and space ex is about rocket science to the engineers

To musk and other who consider space colonisation the only viable future for humanity. Rocket science is just the currently most effective way of achieving the goal.

To a socialist ownership of means of production is the goal.

To a capatalist it is just the best way the currently see of achieving the goal of indevidual wealth.

He was more mad at the app developers for not putting effort into mzking the android port appropriate for android. And the fact that they don't bother providing common needed functions for android apps. Like configurable settings.

Im not an expert on either as I tend to be a linux pc developer.

But user accounts is the way linux handles a program having its own space. Andriod has def made a choice from the begging not to have, and now to limit. The multi user part of linux. Assigning a user and group account to programs. Works great as a way of limiting programs ability to interfere with files of other programs without su access to allow the approval of only assess to those approved.

So I agree android makes a bad choice to ignore any extra protection.

Seriously flawed view of europeen religiose history. Most of the last 200 years has been way more Conservative then current us.

Even mild progerivism only started to take hold in Europe ixtians n the 1900s.

Historically less so. Even back in the 80s lots of girls i knew and thought of as tom boys. Where forced to dress and act girlie by there parents. Further back you go more limits there were.

Lot of very specific detail their. Come on share the story.

Honestly when I lived in the US, the Conservative xtian thing really surprised me.

Here in the UK xtians tend to be left of center. And the center is historica,ly way more left then the US left.

US Conservative ideals really do not seem even close to the xtian teaching I grew up around.

Assuming it was a peacefull succession. Negotiations etc. Really not to difficult to resolve.

Of course the reality is no one in power in Texas really wants to go independent. They want to use the threat to try and controll the federal government. And or They are just using there supporters to gain a foot hold on some power.

Worth noting the US government needs indevidual US citize s to fight for that United States.

The % of citizens who feel the constitution is likely due for some change. While not near the 66% in 50 states needed to change it, is likely enough to seriously effect the resources forcing other to follow it.

Even congress and the senate are far from 100% in agreement. Or ever likely to be on such things. The further from the head of the snake you go. The more likely the US military is to question orders to attack domestic targets.

A d lets face it. Any attempt by the military to force orders in a situation like that, where the enemy is considered to be a part of your own team by a significant % of the people pulling tigers and dropping the actual bombs. Will harm rather then rebuild that unity.

Also worth noting of that -1600. A fair % have family friends and even lovers not living in texas. In 2024 with easy transport etc and cheap communication. It really is impossible for any state to relly on its own current resources. Things would shuffle hugely in the lead up and post the first attacks. Likely the 1600 would grow from good old boys joining. But experience and command structure would be a mess for a while.

Of course US forces would see the same but less so. Some would have friends and relatives in texas. Many would bulk at the domestic part of foreign and domestic.

Professionals.s following orders can only go so far as far as preventing personal politics.

Even in the civil war many refused allegence to the side they were expected to fight for. With Internet and more communication of the 2000s. Allegiances will be less not more founded.

LHaving met a good few gun fans. Yeah 7 to 8 guns seems like a low average.

Helped a friend move from a apartment to a new house. Over 15 guns. I say over as he also had a number of parts. I do not know enough to know if complete guns could be built. Looked like a few complete guns possible to my non gun fan eyes.

This was when I lived in GA. He was not considered unusual by most of the friends helping us.

What seems less likely to me. Is all 72m around the US siding with Texas.
