These descriptions come from this report. As it lays out, not only is Ukraine numerically getting stronger, they are getting some excellent systems such as the French Caesar and the Dutch Panzerhaubitze 2000 https://t.co/XhEdOvAhiN:

Torn between thinking this is bad because standardized tests are good, and thinking it’s good because lowering the average quality of lawyers is probably beneficial to society. https://t.co/l2E593egjD

San Francisco is broken
Andrés @Andresdq21
It’s wild to me that there are only 62 units being developed in San Francisco so far for 2022. D.C., which has a similar population size, currently has 38,594 units under construction for 2022! If that doesn’t put the crisis into perspective, idk what does.
