Global Powers Panic Over Space, Oil, and Piracy; Baja Toads Prefer Surf Waves and Road Dust.

The world continues its frantic ballet of geopolitical overspending, where nations are now investing billions in space weaponry while simultaneously worrying if Russian oil sanctions will fund the apocalypse. Seems everyone is stressed about everything—from potential Baltic invasions to US-Iran 'accidents' in the Strait—but frankly, the biggest military maneuver happening this week is us moving a cinder block on the main drag. Seriously, worrying about space silos or Middle Eastern flare-ups is a non-issue when the road to La Paz is still a collection of construction zones and the only thing actually firing is the tide at Cerritos.
