What if they got into a monetary union with Canada and linked Calidollar with the Canadollar with the same value and entirely interchangeable the way the Belgian and Luxemburg franc used to work?

How do they say it again? Ah yes, "tokens get spent".

The thing is that lashing out to the lackeys doesn't change much. The empire doesn't care if they lose a bunch of stormtoopers, that is what they get hired for, it only cares if it loses a few emperors.

Hmm, yes I see your point. I'm very much in the process of raising a couple of daughters. I try to support them as best I can in achieving whatever they believe to be their path in life. I did tell them I did want them to at least give higher education a serious shot but they could choose whatever kind they liked and I would never be mad they failed at it, as long as they gave it an honest try. The post above does not ridicule homemakers, but the people who would reduce any woman to that role because that is "what women are for". My mother was a homemaker most of her life, she did get married and had kids later in life though and first was one of the few women of her time to get a university degree (graduated early 1950's) and worked both as a teacher and as an assistant professor before she had kids and after we got old enough not to need her all the time. I think your pointing out hypocrisy is rather cheap.

"Nato must die, then they will stop at nothing" fixed that for you.

Please, I am a socialist at heart, with a real soft spot for non autocratic communism, but this "Putin/Stalin did nothing wrong shit" is ridiculous.

That said the current US regime better get kicked out of NATO.

I've heard it suggested to bring rifles instead of flags. Nothing is more American and patriotic than a rifle after all. Police is also tempted to stay quietly and politely at the side of things when you carry a rifle and suddenly stops trying to escalate things.

I'd say that you are spot on and people in the West who want to believe in strange middle east cults can do so quietly at home and not bother anyone with their hokey faith. That goes for Muslims, Jews, Christians and the rest of them.

The immigration cannot be stopped without seriously inhumane measures like shooting at people who try to cross your border. And even that will barely make a dent. I'm not giving up my humanity for a few percent drop in immigration. The immigration situation in Europe is born of the knowledge that if you want this to happen peacefully you have to give immigrants a shot at making a life here without having to turn to crime.

The fact that this bothers you is more proof of the succes of right wing propaganda than anything else.

If you look at the past there have always been people moving about, sometimes they successfully integrated or mixed cultures, sometimes it was genocide in one direction or the other. Hard measures like seriously closing borders are bids for war.

No, the private funding of politicians, which nowhere in the world happens as thoroughly or blatantly as in the US, is another issue to solve. It's companies pushing for privatization of services that they sabotage first to show that the government doesn't do well with them. It's like the postal service headed by that Trump appointee that was a big cheese in a transport firma. I forgot his name.

You think the state of NASA isn't caused by privately funded politicians?

Peace talks? How about their troops fuck off right back home and they release whatever is left of the kidnapped children. Then they can talk about compensation for every crime their troops committed. Their current idea of peace talks is along the lines of "Ukraine should give up most of it's land, people and resources and we promise not try to take more this week."

I'm fully expecting a great American famine shortly given the way they hinder imports (think of Canadian potash), fuck over immigrant workers, threw away loads of water that California farmers will be in dire need of this summer. There aee a lot of soybeans grown for export that just didn't get harvested because of the trade war. I sure hope the government cheese lasts long enough.

 

I'm in my third playthrough on Pc, first time in hardcore. I finished all the gamekeeper missions in the Trosky region and the second gamekeeper says I can have a look at his bows, and he'll tell Vostatek to offer his for sale too. However neither of them give me the trade option, which they did in previous playthroughs. Any way to solve this?

 

I did get the Fortuna paint some time ago looking to buy one in game. It's a nice little racer. Damn what a swanky little machine! As Din would say, "Wizard!"
