So many wrong takes here.
To start, what makes the F-35 or the B-21 expensive is the software and the electronics, not the pilot per se (of course, having the pilot makes it more expensive, but the primary source of cost overrun and time delays was the software).

This is a good piece about what Bidenomics means, which includes a lot of what Dems are being told they needed to do to win back rural America.

Also, if anyone mentions that mass deportations are popular, remind them that people think it means “kick out the bad people only.” When you tell voters what mass deportations entails — breaking up families, internment, rounding up people here for years — it suddenly becomes a very unpopular idea.

No-one will stop Putin with phone calls. The attack last night, one of the biggest in this war, has proved that telephone diplomacy cannot replace real support from the whole West for Ukraine. The next weeks will be decisive, not only for the war itself, but also for our future.

About the echo chamber thing.
1. I've had really thoughtful debates here w/ like-minded people who disagree w/ me on important stuff.
2. I've learned a lot from people who study & know things I don't.
3. I've had 0 flame wars.
The idea that the absence of 3 makes for an echo chamber is absurd.
