US only has 25% of all Patriot missile interceptors needed for Pentagon’s military plans
The United States only has about 25% of the Patriot missile interceptors it needs for all of the Pentagon’s military plans after burning through stockpiles in the Middle East in recent months, an alarming depletion that led to the Trump administration freezing the latest transfer of munitions to Ukraine.
The stockpile of the Patriot missiles has fallen so low that it raised concern inside the Pentagon that it could jeopardize potential US military operations, and deputy defense secretary, Stephen Feinberg, authorized the transfer to be halted while they reviewed where weapons were being sent.
Donald Trump appeared to reverse at least part of that decision on Monday when he told reporters in advance of a dinner at the White House with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he would “send some more weapons” to Ukraine, although he did not disclose whether that would include Patriot systems.

we should talk about this some time.
i think i have the answer for how to do discourse, after a lot of thought and experience.
this post says to me we're thinking the same way.

I guess you can only go to college for one of the 3 Rs now. Readin’, ‘ritein’, or ‘rithmetic.
Actually it’s Indiana, so it’s probably only religious studies, business, and poli sci that are left.

Asking About Tuxedo Computers
First of all, I'm not sure this is the best community for this, so if you think there is a more suitable one, please inform me.
So I've been looking for manufacturers that sell computers with Linux out of the box and I remembered hearing about Tuxedo Computers. Some people seem to really like them, but I've also heard of some people complaining about them too.
And so I've come here to ask this community what are your experiences with this vendor? Is there somewhere else I should look? Thanks in advance.

We have a few Tuxedo computers and some other Linux brands at our company and are generally happy about them. Cheaper devices have a less than perfect keyboard (though I liked the one on the slimbook) a worse camera and microphone (though some are very ok).
I'm very happy with these Linux devices. The few makes for which we needed parts also supplied them but sending the device their way for repair took longer than we'd have wanted.
I loved my Pulse 15 (Gen 1) from Tuxedo
It was a performance monster and still had amazing battery life.
But as others have said, they only take some finished Clevo models - like most small distributors, who can't afford their own factory.
But they verify that everything runs with Linux, else they sometimes patch stuff.
And I need to highlight their support!
After years with my Pulse 15 the battery became a pillow, because I used a USB C charger that wasn't working right (always switched on and off, which killed the battery)
Pretty much without questions asked I got a new battery for free.
Now I have it to my nephew, who enjoys Minecraft on this laptop (still Linux), but the CMOS battery was dead.
Got that one for free as well after warranty
So, I can't really complain about them.
Actually the opposite.
But I still settled for a Framework 16, because I wanted something different and the models at that time weren't fitting my use case...
I can highly recommend this book for a broad analysis redletterspp.com/products/chin…
The TLDR of it is that economic growth is positively correlated with the increase in the standard of living. A country like China started out with a very low standard of living after the revolution, and the primary goal of the party has been to raise people out of poverty. This necessarily correlates with the rise in consumption.
I agree that you can reach a point where further economic growth may not produce meaningful improvements in the standard of living, but majority of the world is far from that point right now.

A 19-year-old Lviv resident was detained in Zakarpattia for the thirteenth time attempting to illegally cross the border. He was trying to get to Hungary, seeking better living conditions.Olga Rozgon (UNN)
Don't forget to thank our Lord and Saviour Mr. Zelensky (and the brave heroes protecting Ukraine's borders!) that this criminal was caught!
Just imagine what would happen if he actually managed to escape, and god-forbid lived a happy life instead of being kidnapped in a few years (or earlier..) off the streets and sent into meat grinder to die? That would be terrible!
God bless western democracy.
And some people are really surprised how can people say that Russia is liberating Ukraine... Yeah, those must be tankies. Obviously freedom is slavery.
right?!
imagine the pandimonium taking place if all of these criminals got away scott free to live the rest of their lives instead of patriotically dying in the war that the united states fooled the country into starting with russia.
and just like the american ice agents, the border guards don't want the public to know what their faces look like.
Even if the US had a hand in it, starting war can never be the correct awnser.
In the end the regular people suffer for the rich oligarchs power games.

I know private capitalism is inefficient with these things but also hard for me to believe that the US being as fucking bloodthirsty as it is ever gets to the point where it couldn't wage a couple wars at a time if it wanted. And, obviously, this would be a justification for more arms stockpiling.

in reply to anarchoilluminati [comrade/them] • • •I really don't. The purpose of the US military industrial complex is to soak up as much tax money as possible and put it back in the hands of the oligarchs. Stockpiling arms goes directly against this principle because it requires maintaining factories, and weapons stores, curating supply chains, hiring many workers, and so on. All of that translates into costs. A much better approach is to create projects like F35 which are built in artisanal batches over many years, and require expensive maintenance contracts for function. You can suck up billions for each toy you deliver, and you don't have to ramp up large scale production.
Other statistic indirectly show just how pitiful the industrial base in the US really is. For example, only 192,474 of American students pursue engineering degrees our of 3 million total degrees, a mere 6.4%. Not only that, but

For example, only 192,474 of American students pursue engineering degrees our of 3 million total degrees, a mere 6.4%. Not only that, but only 37% of students begin an engineering career after completing an engineering degree. The number of engineers acts as a proxy for technicians, skilled workers, and a general industrial capacity.
The lack of engineering talent is the reason Raytheon had to get retirees back to restart missile production.
