    Thing is it’s not actually wasps but just a few very specific kinds of wasps that are assholes ruining the reputation for all.

    Something similiar happens for bees. When people talk about them being endangered nowadays they don’t mean the domesticated honey bees many think about (those are cared enough for that populations are rather growing) but the many kinds of wild (and often solitary) bees.

    Wow… finally one I don’t understand.

    The thing about waether control in funny (or sad - depending on perspective^), but what is the point about knowing in which direction the sun moves? Doesn’t everyone learn that in the first years of their life?





  • The US got lazy because the leading role of the dollar in global finances actually made it so much easier for them than for anyone else to run on debt without actually paying that much.

    Could they still have spend the money more efficiently? Sure, but some waste in a system that naturally ran better than anyone elses public finances wasn’t much of a problem.

    The US keeping up current foreign policies and making former long-term allies divest from the US and from the dollar as the de facto global currency is what weakens the US at an incredible pace.
