The fall of the USSR doomed the workers. Without USSR-sponsored movements as a constant threat, the capitalists and corporations could ruthlessly exploit workers without fear. The QoL of the US working class would be much higher if the USSR was still kicking today.

The one hope that the US working class has tbh, is if China takes a similar role to the USSR, which is very unlikely. But things can change rapidly, so I would never assume it's impossible.

if USSR was still around than US will be even more bad situation not because of USSR competition but those cultural and demographic trends from 1960s and without benefit of intellect of East Europeans that propel the tech sector.
US has freeways, automobile culture and aviation connecting every major city. There is no way USSR with lack of personal transportation, poor road network could compete in work hours unless workers are residing inside the factory.

They have public transport, higher density and better city planning. which means they do live near to where they work lol. Automobile culture is not good for working hour since traffic alone wastes a long time.

I agree with the analysis, scanning the shape of the SPG isn't that useful from intelligence perspective, but is very useful if you're making model kits. So chances of him being sent from a model maker is high.

Word according to 洞洞 is that guy has been caught and is having tea. Local media is even taking his footage and using it as an example to warn people.

Firstly he was like this:

“I want to turn the Taiwan Strait into an unmanned hellscape using a number of classified capabilities,” Paparo said, “so that I can make their lives utterly miserable for a month, which buys me the time for the rest of everything.”

Speaking at the Brookings Institution, Adm. Sam Paparo said smaller unmanned platforms won’t get the job done in the vast oceans of the Indo-Pacific. Should the U.S. military deploy drones in a smaller area like the Taiwan Strait to thwart a Chinese invasion of the self-governing island, U.S. forces would still need to sustain those platforms from Okinawa, Paparo said. The distance between the Taiwan Strait and Okinawa is about 436 nautical miles, a stretch of water that would require surface assets to control the sea lines of communication.

It was a retarded idea to begin with. US can’t afford large drones that can based on the Second Island Chain. Bases on the First Island Chain that hosts small drones will get wiped out in a few days by the PLA.
