How many doctors marry CNA’s? I’d imagine ~all of healthcare working male doctor spouses are doctors or RN’s, near the top of the hospital hierarchy, not the legion of phlebotomists and nursing assistants below them.
There is still a very strong correlation between woman’s education and her husband’s income.

Black anti-semitism goes back quite a ways, actually- it’s always been part of black power/black liberation.

The blue tribe has generally been good to Jews, does that need much explaining? Imperial centralizing scholar-bureaucrats usually are.

It does need to be said- focusing on becoming a normie housewife(after all, you basically cannot be a career oriented woman without college first, which is going to last longer than that) starting at 19, or in the right circles perhaps 16 or 17, has fairly good odds of working out.
But this woman does not want that. They want a ‘high value’(they and I may disagree on the definition/relative importance of terms here) man. That 6’4 doctor is not going to marry a woman without a college degree. If she’d focused on this at 23(I don’t know how she would do this, but assuming she did) rather than on career advancement, sûre, she’d have had better odds of landing the high-powered husband. But wealthy men do not marry waitresses.

In delicate environments requiring perfect, high maintenance balance or everyone dies, the rules will be very strict and strictly enforced. You won’t have anarcho-tyranny, because the homeless/casually destructive/ne’erdowells will be shoved out an airlock.
Now if we can reach a terraformable planet somehow that might be different, but there’s always the (probably high)possibility that they set up an Australia/Hawaii biosphere with species endangered for their own lack of fitness and enact ridiculous regulations to protect giant pandas as the main herbivore.

We have several actual intel operatives posting here, do you think that we’re not being monitored to begin with? Dean and Ashlael probably can’t post to a My Little Pony forum without everything being analyzed by palantir.

Quasi-ethnic majoritarian nationalism with strong but unadhered to Christian themes has… not tended to be a good bargain for Jews in the past.

Or the gulf monarchies, very influential in the trump regime, who also hate Iran.

You are ignoring, of course, that even secular, socially liberal red tribers do not see ‘getting laid’ as worth encouraging in itself. The goal is supposed to be a stable relationship that forms a nuclear family. That does not mean that the red tribe necessarily hates premarital sex; that means that it is not the metric by which romantic success is measured.

Iran’s behavior in the current war offers plenty of evidence- the attacking random countries thing.

Persia did respectably for itself, and Islam tends to make civilizations punch below their weight over a long enough time scale for a variety of reasons.
I don’t really believe 103 but upper nineties seems plausible. Russia has a similar IQ with shitty broken institutions and poverty.

It’s more accurate to say that the western Allies did not use violence against civilians as a political tool after their states had surrendered. Hiroshima, etc.

The USA has domestic politics reasons for why any Iran attack will go over at least acceptably, has a lot of Allies who hate Iran(probably Saudi at least as much as Israël) and has additional interest in keeping them too weak to fund proxies.
Of course, Trump thinks military operations are good for him politically.

By the Israeli government, legitimately elected by admittedly narrow majorities of the Israeli public. Israel’s West Bank behavior is indeed bad; both sides suck and need to stop Balkans irredentist nationalism, but Israël at least has a functioning society wherever it goes.

If the native Japanese rose up after 80 years of occupation by the Han, then they would have the right to. If the Japanese diaspora attempted to invade their ancestral homeland which is now majority Chinese eighty years later, that’s just stupid.
Balkans rules of possession make things terrible. The Palestinians lost in Israël long enough ago that they need to accept that- but being very upset about their treatment in the West Bank seems entirely reasonable. Just like how Cherokees advocating for better reservation conditions or whatever is fine, but trying to conquer and ethnically cleanse parts of Georgia is psychotic.

The Palestinians have been displaced for too long, and have states of their own(they’re really not that different from Jordanians, Syrians, and Lebanese), this is just balkanian Kosovo je Palestine at this point. The people claiming the land weren’t born there. Their parents weren’t born there. Life sucks for the Palestinians, retaking recent settlements in the West Bank might be reasonable, but Tel Aviv je Palestine is just stupid. The reality is both sides have blood on their hands, the Palestinians seem to now be led by actual psychopaths when they aren’t led by corrupt, incompetent assholes, and the nakhba is more or less outside living memory.

A used, reliable sedan will give you more than enough utility to compensate for depreciation over ~1yr.

You should put the maximum amount into a Roth IRA. This is a tax advantaged structure to assist with retirement.
Real estate in desirable cities is the best bet for appreciation(your cap on IRA contributions is a lot lower than that), due to Tokyoization over time. If you don't want to do that, you can buy precious metals as a savings account with extra steps, you can put it into a mutual fund.
You probably should buy a car, you kinda need one.

It's pretty common in less-religious parts of Eastern Europe for soviet nostalgia to be conservative coded. Eastern bloc regimes were socially moderate, paid their pensions on time, kept the streets clear, and made sure employment rates were high- eastern Euro boomercons mostly have not been the beneficiaries of their EU integration driven economic growth.

And nor was Israel that big of a factor in the Iraq war, it was mostly about stabilizing oil sales.

Terminator two had a plot such that making a sequel necessarily creates a plothole. It was a neat, tidy self-referential loop... which renders the whole plot irrelevant.
Full professors IIRC.
