  • Meanwhile, something I have no idea about is whether Iran’s regional allies, plus China & Russia, could have used trade and such to help offset the sanctions in the first place…?

    They could almost certainly offset it enormously. Rice and beans shipped in from China are unlikely to cost much more than those from the US.

    My bet is that “85% domestic production” threshold is less a result of sanctions, and more either (a) self-imposed isolationism, or (b) protectionist policies designed to empower one or other political faction in the country.


  • Bwahahahahahahah! Holy shit, this article is the epitome of doomerism and conspiracy theories. If anyone actually read this article and didn’t immediately peg it as brain rot… idk what to tell you. Go read a book. Not to say that homelessness isn’t a very real problem - but if your interpretation of a complex and multifaceted problem is to boil it down into a handful of evil people doing evil things who could be stopped by a few good people with courage and determination, then you aren’t understanding a real problem. You’re describing a Marvel movie.
