I visited once when I was 18-19 and I was so unsettled to see almost every young adult woman my age pushing grocery carts with back-to-back kids. Like…they had no chance. For a people who value large families I would think maternity care would be exceptionally well funded. I guess they’ll just make preventable death (4 in 5 maternal deaths) even more commonplace for these young women.

That’s disgusting.

I suppose they don’t believe in even attempting to improve. Not a place I’d want to live.

The Antonov An-225 Mriya was made in 1985 in the Soviet Union, modern day Ukraine.

It’s a one off plane with the largest wingspan, largest weight, and largest load bearing potential.

It ran all the way to 2022 when Russians bombed it out to cripple Ukraine’s economic abilities, as it was the only plane that could carry many loads the distances it did, at a rate of travel much faster than freight ships.

Anyway, to say that nothing was innovated or improved under communism is blatant propaganda.

I hear good things about their space program too (Grumpop worked at Thiokol so he probably knew what he was talking about here). I hear they’re also good at building wooden ammo.

I would assume that this is just the first in what will be a widespread effort among red states to do the same.

Simply because banning abortion is essentially guaranteed to lead to an increase in pregnancy-related deaths, and that’s a statistic that undermines the conservative position.

And it’s ALWAYS the case that when truth is contrary to conservative positions, the positions don’t change to accommodate the truth - the truth is hidden to protect the positions.
