Suicides are a measure of a deficiency of Darwinian fitness.
Since most morality is based on Darwinian fitness, it's no surprise why so many countries punish unfit people and try to re-purpose them because those societies depend on the fitness of individuals for the survival of their culture and society in a universe of scarce resources and competition.

In late March of this year the defense secretary Lloyd Austin tells Congress that he believes Ukraine has a very good chance of success in its
planned counter-offensive and that Russian capability is waning that's what he told Congress just one month ago.
"Ukraine's challenges in massing troops ammunition and equipment could cause its military to fall well short of Kiev's original goals for an anticipated counter-offensive according to U.S intelligence assessments revealing Washington's misgivings about the state of the war"
"It's a marked departure from the Biden administration's public statements about the vitality of Ukraine's military, and is likely to embolden critics who feel the U.S and NATO should do more to push for a negotiated settlement to the conflict."
Who are the critics of the war? That's the small sliver of leftists who have been critical of the proxy war from the start and some people on the right who also have pushed for negotiations, but everybody else in the bipartisan Industrial War establishment has been totally ignoring them and sometimes resort to outright censoring. (que Tucker Carlson opposing the war and getting fired and muzzled with contract obligational clauses)

And when you talk about retaking territory, because you were earlier — (inaudible) earlier that — in an answer to AP, I believe — that this would be a unified way to retake territory. Are you talking about retaking territory in the Donbas, or are you talking about Crimea?
SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL: We’re talking about Ukrainian territory, Andrea. Territory that is, by international boundaries, recognized boundaries, Ukrainian territory.

REPORTER: I know you always stress the difference between Wall Street and Main Street, but everybody seems to be in for some economic pain. How economically painful is it going to get for people in this country?
BIDEN: The notion that this is going to last for a long time is highly unlikely, as long as we continue to stay resolved in imposing the sanctions we’re going to impose on Russia, period.
Last week, I signed an $800 million package of security assistance to Ukraine that included new capabilities like artillery systems and armored personnel carriers — equipment that is responsive to Ukraine’s needs and tailored to support the intensified fighting in the Donbas region, which is a different war than in other places because both — topographically it’s different. It’s flat, it’s not in the mountains, and it requires different kinds of weapons to be more effective.
Today, I’m announcing another $800 million to further augment Ukraine’s ability to fight in the east — in the Donbas region.
This package includes heavy artillery weapons — dozens of Howitzers — and 144,000 rounds of ammunition to go with those Howitzers. It also includes more tactical drones.
In the past two months, we’ve moved weapons and equipment to Ukraine at record speed.
We’ve sent thousands of anti-armor and anti-[air] missile[s], helicopters, drones, grenade launchers, machine guns, rifles, radar systems. More than 50 million rounds of ammunition had already been sent.
The United States alone has provided 10 anti-armor systems for every one Russian tank that’s in Ukraine — a 10 to 1 ratio.

@HistoryBuff
I am guessing you already read the WAPO article....
The leaked U.S. intelligence documents reveal that Ukraine may fall short of its original goals of a counteroffensive against Russian-occupied areas this spring. According to the documents, Ukraine faces significant "force generation and sustainment shortfalls" that could result in "modest territorial gains" in the expected counteroffensive. The document, which is labeled "top secret," reveals significant deficiencies in Ukraine's air defenses and access to ammunition.
This contradicts the Biden administration's public statements that the US stands with Ukraine and that Ukraine is capable of defending itself against Russia's aggression. Biden also promised "unwavering support" to Zelensky, regardless of the actual ground conditions on the battlefield. If the American public knew the truth that Ukraine was completely unable to retake the Donbas, there would be an appropriate amount of domestic outrage for supporting continued costly war funding over peace negotiations.
The CIA leaked documents show serious doubts as to the sustainability of the war especially in light of the massive corruption uncovered in Zelensky's administration. At best, Biden is misleading the American public by convincing them that the money is a necessary expenditure. At worst, Biden is deliberately lying about what is going on in Ukraine for the sole purpose of enriching his own pockets by laundering tax money through the Ukraine and then back to his family.

As we age, the skin can become thinner and lose some of its elasticity, which can cause it to appear more transparent and reveal the underlying blood vessels. This can give the skin a slightly yellow or orange tint in some areas, particularly on the hands and feet.

Lol, no it doesn't Most of the Earth is completely uninhabitable for humans. Some people live in extremely unsustainable ecologies with some of the lowest standards of living on Earth.

Sorry, was mostly trolling roose.
I think this was inevitable as most of those media corporations received diminishing returns after Trump lost in 2020 in addition to the detrimental lockdown economy.
The downsizing of CNN and other outlets signaled that this was going to happen to similar shock outlets. Buzzfeed had 10 dollar stock valuation in 2020 and now its around 50 cents.
Those outlets overproduced anti-Trumpism and didn't predict the market was going to dry up after he was no longer president.

The US Federal Reserve said it will stop printing money by March and begin to raise rates, actions which tend to put further pressure on soft-pegged countries that do not raise rates in tandem and slow domestic credit.
The Federal Reserve under Jerome Powell has fired the worst inflation since 1982 (thanks to a reckless dummy, Carter), blaming ‘cost push’ factors like supply chain disruption and claiming price rises will be transitory.
"With inflation well above 2 percent and a strong labor market, the Committee expects it will soon be appropriate to raise the target range for the federal funds rate,” the Federal Reserve said.
“In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook.
“The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee’s goals.”
The Fed will continue to print 30 billion US dollars till March. The target rate is now 0.25 percent.
The Fed under Jerome Powell has fired the worst inflation since the 1970s great inflation which came after the collapse of the Bretton Woods gold peg. Inflation started to fall after 1980 when Chairman Paul Volcker tightened monetary policy.
The Federal Reserve does not actually "print money," but rather controls the money supply by adjusting interest rates and the amount of money in circulation through open market operations that creates the money supply.
That being said, the Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates can have significant effects on both the US and global economies. Soft-pegged countries (dependent), which tie their currency to the US dollar, may experience increased pressure if they do not also raise their interest rates in tandem with the Federal Reserve. This can lead to slower credit growth and potential economic instability.
Inflation has been a concern for the Federal Reserve in recent years, with prices rising at their fastest rate in decades. The Fed has attributed this to "cost push" factors such as supply chain disruptions, conveniently blaming the Covid lockdowns, but has also acknowledged that price increases may not be transitory and could become more persistent. (at this point we most certainly can say this isn't transitory after spending so many trillions to offset the lockdowns)
The Fed's decision to raise interest rates will likely have an impact on borrowing and lending rates, as well as consumer spending and investment. The Fed has stated that it will continue to monitor economic conditions and adjust its policy as needed to achieve its goals of stable prices and maximum employment. Whether or not that employment is productive is unknown and could be trouble if wages are not keeping up with inflation. (which they are not). In such case, employment numbers may not be any indication at all that the economy is doing well and will likely mask real problems of a declining economy.
Enjoy the recession.

That sounds like flawless logic.
Fanchick is describing a Ponzi scheme where the Government creates actual production out of thin air by simply spending money not confiscated from production taxes, but with money printed from nothing.

Soon the government will not be able to pay all its bills because Biden is using the debt ceiling as leverage to increase spending (actually the growth of spending)
Why the sudden desire to increase spending? Because we have a Democrat in the White House.
What if the spending increases cause a inflation? Perfect, then Republicans can win back the White House in 2024
So when we get to the point the country can’t pay all its obligations because inflation has destroyed the value of money, who should get stiffed first?
The answer should be obvious. Don't pay for Democrat corporate welfare. After all, it’s their Congressmen who are spending more than the GDP can handle.
So when cuts become necessary, and the Treasury Department has to choose who doesn’t get paid, start with Corporate Welfare checks to rich corporations in Blue States.
That should light a fire under the ass of these Congressmen. No Green Energy subsidies for people in California, Mass, New York, and so on.
Biden isn’t going to win regardless, so he isn’t losing anything politically. Plus this is payback for Republicans ending corporate welfare on Blue States.
Fair is fair. Blue states get most of the corporate welfare in this country, Blue states should not keep getting paid.
