With oil, barrels is the normal unit of measure. Changing that makes it more difficult to compare to other oil spills.

Equivalent to about 5,302 barrels of oil. Did the conversion because I had no idea. Bad headline.

And what happens when the world police are taken over by unreliable forces, ie fascists?

The idea behind the UN was not that they be world police but that they have a forum to discuss issues before they escalated, and to create a consensus to respond.

And it worked… fine, before technology outpaced it so the discussion was happening everywhere and all the time.

It was never intended to be perfect, but better.

Do I want enforced justice? Yes, but my by terms. And my terms might not always agree with yours, or anyone else’s. That’s the gambit.

Or… this is the crime they have the actual evidence to prosecute.

‘Elder statesmen.’

I’m hoping it’s to run for president, but that is likely just hopium.

I’m just here to say that “We’ve never seen this level of surveillance” is a weirdly hilarious thing to say.

Not saying this isn’t a horrible situation at all, just giggled at that.

Am I the only one who got that it’s a fucking He-Man joke? He/Him, He-Man.

The People have stated their priorities. If the rest of the machine refuses to work to fulfill those promises, they are betraying the people.

Promises are fulfilled through work.

Wishes come true. Terrible framing.

Maybe, just maybe, they’re so incompetent that they get the phrase wrong and accidentally win?

I imagine there are plenty of service-related cancers, and they likely pay for services received elsewhere if that expertise isn’t available at a VA hospital.

I think that, in the process, you’ll be creating enough Gilbert Gottfried impersonators that they couldn’t all be low-quality any longer.

Just one little hitch in your otherwise flawless plan.
