With the Guano Act the US "acquired" lots of islands all over the world. Choose one of those bird shit covered rocks and put him on there

I'm like, wait, what happened in the 1930s that meant the wipeout of the republicans and what happened in the next 60 years?

Oh yes, an overinflated market crashed during the republican presidency, the burst ignited by the proposal of a tariff increase law, made to shield American industries and that was actually signed into law and significantly worsened the great depression. This pretty much caused the rise of Nazism in Germany and WW2

What happened then in the next 60 years? Oh yeah, the US won the war and became the biggest world superpower, the economy boomed and you had pretty much the most prosperous time in America's history.

Maaaaybe a republican wipeout isn't that bad now, is it?

I don't know your country's laws, but where I live, if it's not inhabitable it is taxed way lower (and without a roof, it's definitely not inhabitable)

Opera mini was also great when I had very little MBs of internet traffic in my plan. Nowadays I have pretty much infinite traffic, so I haven't used it in ages

I think it's a consequence of higher interest rates drying up VC money, meaning that tech companies now have to actually be profitable, rather than just grow.

If the plan was grow now, profit later, then later has come
