Chicago fucked its budget up for decades when it sold its parking spaces to a private company. That's a black hole in the budget that will never be able to be funded properly for a one time infusion of cash that was spent almost immediately.

Not weird at all. Acolyte is something you can enjoy on its own with a few winks and nods. Ahsoka is a clear sequel to Rebels following up something it left dangling. Rebels itself being heavily tied to Clone Wars. Also don't forget Mando That's a lot of TV show to watch before the new TV show.

You can't kick the US out of the UN without completely dissolving the UN and creating a new entity. The security council is enshrined in the UN Charter, the only time it has changed is when the UN agreed to recognize China and not Taiwan.

The United Nations was never in Geneva. It was constructed in America specifically so America would stay involved unlike with the League of Nations. It should have been /moved/ to Geneva after American involvement in Vietnam.

Unless the order is beyond the pale like being told to fire into a crowd with live ammunition, they will almost never win that court martial. Officers get a lot more room on that front, being able to resign their commission, but enlisted are shit out of luck.

Bad news about the disobeying an unlawful order bit. That's really hard to win in a court martial case, it will not end well unless the order you are refusing to follow is clearly something beyond the pale like shooting into a crowd with live ammunition.

Geo is a bit more difficult. A cascade occurring here isn't likely due to relative velocities and how diffuse everything is. Worst case you just have to aim for open windows to go through this area, and it would still be possible to put satelites back up. In between those two? Centuries.

LEO cascade will resolve itself within a decade or so, too much atmospheric drag for anything to stay up that long. Very expensive to rebuild our network after. Bigger issue is it will stop us from reaching higher orbits during this time. /c

I mean specifically with this I'd recommend reading Anarcho-Syndacalism theory and practice by Rudolf Rocker. It's far more direct on the theory and strategy when it comes to seizing production through unions and turning them into something worker owned.

No they aren't. Owing money to someone does not allow them to dictate how you spend their loan. That isn't how loans work. If it is worker owned, only the workers get to make those decisions as long as payments arrive on time.
