It is... Precious to me.

Honestly, if you mounted some of these on a couple 1kw e-bikes with fat tires and suspension for better off-roading, you could get some nice hit-and-run squads, assuming you could clear or detect area-denial weapons.

Mount an MG on one, a recoil less rifle on another, maybe some form of rocket launcher for heavier armor.

It's not going to take over any countries, but a fast attack force that can clear rough terrain quickly is worth it's weight in gold.

5 bicycle boys vs 10000000 Gen 5 tanks and 27 lions, who wins?

"Yeah, but proceeds to present an argument that completely ignores the underlying premise that everyone should be cool with all being one planet helping each other instead of returning to squabbling tribal mentality of 'us vs them' and 'if I give them some then I'll have less' and people need to stop letting conflicts of our parents and great-great-great-x147-grandparents started decide how we view our neighbors"

Haha checkmate, logical thinkers.

"Look sir, I'm not saying I'm refusing a direct order from my superior. I'm saying these guys are 15 feet tall, encased in their own personal mechanized tanks, and are demanding to speak to my supervisor. I'm not gonna tell them no. So YOU can come down here and tell them."

turns to Ultramarines "one second, guys, he's gonna cave any second. If he doesn't, he will when he sees you."

My god, it's full of stars...

Somehow that's even worse than "won't be fooled again"

At least Bush could think to the end of his sentence, even if it takes half the sentence to get there. Trump has to say it out loud before he can think about it.

I used to work for a company that did background checks on every employee, and supposedly couldn't hire anyone with a record over some kind of contracts.

Didn't change the fact that several of my coworkers were ex-cons.

That was my next thought, but then where do they get their power, water, and oxygen?

I suppose it could be like a "reserve the surface room for a day" kind of thing, and hundreds of people live down below, with enough space for greenhouses and algea pools for oxygen production. Geothermal power, or simply a solar farm out of view, and deep underground natural water reservoirs...

I still think the immortal people in an indestructible house is probably the best bet.

Politicians can be bought for embarrassingly low amounts, I dont see "media personalities" as generally being any better.

Hey look.

It's my shocked face.

Can you tell I'm shocked?

I'm going for "shocked".

😐

You know, the longer we live, the more people realize that in a CAPITAL based society, the people with the CAPITAL make the rules. And if they decided "no, we DON'T have to pay the fines that poors have to" then... That's basically become all that happens.

"hey you did an illegal and/or a fine-able offence(the fines for which were determined at a time that doesn't reflect modern profits for companies) but since we are being told you're have lots of money, go ahead and keep doing it but pinky promise you'll change eventually"

Just enough of a protest to make the unimportant people think you've done something, but not enough to do anything of substance.

And I honestly wonder just how long it will be before "the poors" and "the unimportant people" will have enough and decide to punish companies and their leaders themselves.

But they pinky promise not to look!

They just want to be able to look!

See, it's totally different.

... Do I need this? ->/s
