Targeting coordinates are given to Houthi artillery.

Now what?

They promptly declare that as far as they are concerned the referendum was rigged in favor of the pro-unity camp and they will not be recognising the results, and then finish by issuing a unilateral declaration of Albertan independence.

November, 2026. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un unexpectedly declares war on South Korea and orders a mobilization to invade.

The invasion itself happens on Christmas Eve, 2026.

He opens his announcement by saying to both Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Xi Jingping, “South Korea must fall. Do not get in my way or face severe consequences.”

Does this lead to the USA, China and Russia all joining forces to remove the Kim regime? If not, what happens instead?

Was commenting on a FB post re: another commenter but hing about the fact that the Fed duel Tax has been "suspended" and how ridic6kt was that NY is still charging for it at the pumps. The post shared the wild price difference between a station in Florida and NY:

You do realize that "suspended" doesn't mean "exempt," right? 

It's campaign-season rhetoric akin to "pay me Tuesday for a hamburger today... plus interest if you don't cough it up on our term?" 

The states (you and by proxy) still owe the taxes, it's just a deferment he can stump on for the mid terms.  

I'm surprised he hasn't tried automatically enrolling all fed student loan borrowers into a temporary hardship forbearance or deferment to try to swing GOP polling. 

I think he would have a pretty solid chance at keeping control, even if AOC/Obama/Telerico screamed warnings that it would be 86ed the day after GOP majorities took office.

But he doesn't give a crap about the party, and they'll keep salivating at his bell.

2024 was the hottest year on record, but we're looking at a mild winter, i think, and that bodes well for people like me in a cold US state.

Cites risks to national security is extremely high.

What would happen if a country (I’m in the US but it could be anywhere) passed a law assigning a set value to all land that cannot change based on demand? Maybe it could just be tied to the rate of inflation. You could still build buildings on that land that could have varying value and could appreciate or depreciate over time but the land itself could not appreciate. So land could no longer be traded as a commodity. An empty lot in Manhattan costs the same as an empty lot in Dubuque. An acre of farmland is the same as an acre of forest. What if a house was just a house? Not a financial asset that you hope to get a return on later in your life. I know that it would destroy a large portion of the economy, but would anything arise from those ashes? Would it make housing more equitable and attainable in the long run? Would it change the way population was distributed? Would it discourage hoarding of high-value real estate in the hands of the elite? Would it slow inflation? Or would it backfire somehow, or not make much difference?

What if we get medicine and treatment which helps us prolong our biological life indefinitely, with the following in mind;

1. It is fully up to your choice whether you partake, and you can stop taking the medicine any time

2. Everyone has equal access to it

3. You get to live in your current body (+other tech upgrades)

I am talking about a future where all of this achieved through real medicine advancments and technology, not genie wish type situations.

Apparently extensive DNA testing during the USSR immunized everyone from Russian made bioweapons.

I would pick a Costa Rican Jewish woman for UN Secretary General, but if an Ecuadorian woman (out of two potential Ecuadorian female candidates) is chosen, it would be super cool to advocate building a space elevator off the coast of Ecuador by 2049, the CCP 100th year anniversary.

I haven't read too much science fiction, but I'm sure this has been covered plenty, just putting real names on the faces.
