You take some time. Heal up. Meet a new woman. Fall for her. Notice you feel different about this woman now. Then you can try being friends again if you both still want to.

Thank you for writing that so I don’t have to.

The end of the petrodollar is complicated. On the one hand it reenforced American hegemony and propped up US financial institutions and instruments. On the otherhand it was quite unfair and sometimes unpopular even among US allies.

The end of it means US finance will have to work harder to stay competitive and the US has to trade currency on (slightly) more equal footing but it might lower international resentment.

Biden regarding Palatine is bad. Trump is worse.

What other policy are you referring to?

I would love to vote for Mitt Romney instead of Biden. Can we make that happen? I’ll vote for basically anything over Trump but I don’t like the Biden Harris ticket at all.

Not pro knowl just knuckle dragging mechanic advice: run the car for a bit. Rev it up. Turn it off. Pull the dip stick. If there is no foaming you’re fine.

What would happen if Biden straight up announced: “I’m not able to serve another 4 years. I’m passing my whole campaign to <insert Biden’s pick here>. I trust <new candidate> as does my whole administration.” Is that not allowed?
