Japan got fed up with the US interfering with its trade
This is cracked. US embargoed exports of oil to Japan. Japan got most of its oil from the US. Japan decided to invade Indonesia (Dutch East Indies at the time) to get oil, but the US signaled that they'd be very cross if that happened so Japan decided to preemptively hit the US fleet and invade the then-US possession of the Philippines to open the way to DEI.

America is a first world country. If we believe it hard enough, we can make it true.

The Lakota committed many atrocities. Do you know that they cut people's scalps off? The US Calvary are the only civilized army in the west.

Unibodies do have a frame it's just not a completely separate assembly like a ladder frame.
As others have said there are lots of places to jack a car. Nobody uses the flange on the rocker panels unless they're trying to change a tire roadside with the emergency jack.

Most of the tech billionare's ideas comes from watching a dystopian 80s scifi and saying "let's do this but where I'm the bad guy."

Yeah I refuse to pay a "convenience fee." I'll mail a f*ing check if they try to charge me.

They would have had to build that infrastructure. I'm not saying fundraising is easy. But it's possible as proven by wikipedia. They could have cut Google loose 10 years ago and said "we're going to use our runway to try to put together a wikimedia foundation style fundraising operation. I don't think they can do it now because the trust, goodwill and quite frankly, userbase is gone.

What on earth would that do? The poisonous leadership would not use it to improve the browser nor would they start working for donors instead of Google.
My point is that there is a funding model that they could have pursued when they still had goodwill and trust. And my hope is if the government finally puts the boot in with Google, then this current version of mozilla will collapse, the rats will leave the ship and hopefully a good browser will emerge the way firefox emerged from netscape.

It's the board and the wider leadership who are controlled by Google and intent on destroying Firefox. The current CEO is pretty new, and replaced a heavily criticized CEO that spent years overseeing the decline of Firefox. The new CEO is a former McKinsey consultant.

Mozilla could have focused on being user-supported through fundraising like Wikipedia. Instead they chose the comfortable path of being funded by their biggest competitor, who is an evil monopoly spyware ad business, which has been compelling Mozilla to kill Firefox and become the badies on the way down.

Yeah always thought that name was bonkers. Didn't listen to them because of it.
The scumbag also owns the Logan Theater.
> CTAction noted that the agency boasted of improvements to the the percentage of scheduled rail and bus run delivered, but failed to mention this was due to scheduled service being cut by 21 and 13 percent, respectively. "The total number of trains dispatched per day has not increased at all since August of 2022. The CTA continues to call this "schedule optimization," insulting the intelligence of riders who know that service has been cut."
More overtime was credited to NASCAR than any other special event so far this summer except the Pride Parade, for which officers were credited with 31,297 hours. The 2023 Pride Parade crowd estimate was nearly a million people; NASCAR projected it would attract about 100,000 attendees over the course of the weekend.
Currently there are five PRO nascar posts: - I invite everyone to turn on the NASCAR TV broadcast - NASCAR crew members help fix a car's bumper after it was involved in a fender bender across from the garage area on Lake Shore Drive - Unpopular Opinion, but i think the NASCAR races will be awesome - OK Chicago,this Nascar thing is fun, Now do Formula 1 - This checks out…(Randy Sax guerilla marketing link) and three ANTI nascar: - Meanwhile, we’re doing 15mph on 90/94 - Worker dies while setting up Chicago NASCAR race - Chicago’s Nascar Weekend Offers Headaches, Little Economic Gain Two of the pro-nascar posts are obvious guerilla marketing (the "LSD pit crew repair" post and whatever that Randy Sax thing is). One of the Anti-articles is just news about an unfortunate event. I think Nascar has hired social media PR/sock puppet groups to astroturf Chicago reddit. I wonder if it's the same people Paul Vallas hired...
