I have said this before, I will say this again: arming the Ukrainians to defend themselves is the best bang-for-buck in defense spending in decades.

Give Ukraine munitions and they will reliably put those explosives on America's enemies.

Just not on Trump's enemies and thus the problem.

One factor is that states in the US have significant regulatory autonomy, which leads to a lot of natural experiments on policy effects across similar populations.

If you let corruption fester then it creates a very bad incentive structure in which anyone who isn't corrupt is a sucker and once everyone is corrupt, everyone is guilty, and enforcement of anti-corruption laws simply becomes a mechanism for punishing anyone who falls from favor

Tbh, a pretty accurate likeness.

I'm disgraphic and took blue book exams in undergrad. Extra time was basically sufficient to do as well as my classmates, although I would have preferred proctored exams with a word processor.

So a very large ship that would be very expensive but without VLS cells, it wouldn't have any weapons that would actually be able to defend itself or engage the enemy.

Like, I can't stress that enough: the VLS system is like, 90% of an Arleigh Burke's firepower.

That's fair, I think the movie suggests Lee and Simone are burning through their wealth while Vera and Nat are locally affluent. But, the congregants' relative wealth/power is contrasted with Jud's poverty.

The stupid, wealthy people aren't exclusively white, and the wronged individuals aren't woman of color this time. I enjoyed it, but jazz piano always sounds like jazz piano, you know?

It's an AS365 Dauphin flying over Bucharest :)
