  1. You won't understand.
  2. My (Democrat politician) teammate almost picked a fight on Sunday. I had to stop him when he said, "Before X screwed up Twitter"... I like him better as a baseball player.
  3. 1. No. 2. No. 3. No. 4. No. 5. No. You live in a fantasy world with fantasy beliefs about what I and others think.
  4. There is a time for all things. 30 trillion in debt while having struggling domestic citizens is an emergency that must be fixed before considering global help priorities. Go away with your global empathy narrative until it's time for the adults to revise priorities.
  5. It’s flicking terrifying and we keep in line to maintain our slice of life.
  6. ... ... That SBC link is self-defeating to your statement. It was not meant to address the Depression in a systematic way... success I guess because it didn't. The SBC link mentions security by putting people to work. Note that unemployment was higher after 8 years than before the New Deal was started. Oops. It's foolish to say nothing good came from the New Deal...which nobody is saying... while it's ignorant to claim the New Deal saved the country from the Great Depression.
  7. I don't know what to believe... If Trump is somehow successfully killing deals that would allow 5000 illegal entrants daily... Bless him. Enforce the existing law or GTFO.
  8. How were his facts wrong? Here is another source. New Deal or Raw Deal?: How FDR's Economic Legacy Has Damaged America WW2 lifted the USA out of the depression, not the New Deal.
  9. The next gen ACDC band deserves more recognition in the US.
  10. Check out FDR's folly On May 6, 1939, Henry Morgenthau, Roosevelt’s treasury secretary, confirmed the total failure of the New Deal to stop the Great Depression: “We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong...somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises....I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started....And an enormous debt to boot!"
  11. What an embarrassment to my state and other laggards in their support.
  12. What others are there?

  13. 'They' will not allow the Ron Pauls, Vivek Ramaswamys, and Andrew Yangs a fair opportunity in the primaries.
  14. I've interviewed over 100 candidates, but only one made it through screening for a DBA position without the ability to provide a basic description of a database, indexes, and SQL. The recruiter told me we had interview quotas to meet.
  15. You might get a unique perspective from reading Bill Ackman's revised understanding of DEI, which was triggered by the meritless hire of the Havard president and her controversial leadership. https://twitter.com/BillAckman/status/1742441534627184760 A recent example is exposed by whistleblowers at IBM. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/ibm-diversity-efforts-targeted-by-stephen-millers-legal-group Another example is in the Supreme Court ruling about unlawful racist admission policies in universities. So far as my daughter, the engineering field will be better off depending on what she is capable of and accomplishes rather than her gender.
  16. Trust the science... Oops - Scientists at a Harvard-affiliated cancer hospital are planning to retract six studies and will correct an additional 31 as part of an ongoing investigation into image duplications and discrepancies in dozens of papers from some of its leading researchers. A post on For Better Science, a blog focused on scientific integrity, flagged potential problems in papers co-written by top scientists and executives at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. The institute is widely regarded as a national leader in cancer treatment and research, and much of its scientific work is supported by taxpayer dollars; it received more than $160 million from the National Institutes of Health in 2023, according to a federal database. https://forbetterscience.com/2024/01/02/dana-farberications-at-harvard-university/
  17. Thank you for sharing this. I read and learned more about the Pilgrim experience here. https://www.hoover.org/research/how-private-property-saved-pilgrims
  18. How do you determine that education is progressive? When the workers, content, and outcomes reflect examples like what we've seen with diversity quotas in business. What is racist about DEI? In practice, it incentivizes for reasons other than merit. For example, skin color. DEI directly violates the USA constitutional expectation that no one should be treated differently than anyone else because of their gender, race, ethnicity, or other fundamental characteristics. DEI is partly why if my eldest child becomes an engineer, she will have significantly more opportunities for the sole reason of being female.
  19. But... but... In the city of Opulenceville, Waldo's privilege was unmistakable. He exuded opulence, dressed in a newly acquired, bespoke cashmere sweater and adorned with an exclusive stock cap. His cane, crafted from rare wood found only in Privilege Peaks, symbolized his elevated status. The designer glasses perched on his nose weren't just for vision but served as a filter through which he saw the world, tinted with the hues of entitlement. Waldo's privileged white background and impeccable fitness were a testament to luck and the luxury of time. Waldo's every step echoed privilege, turning heads and prompting whispers... TPTD thought process when he sees Walde... probably ^^^
  20. Will you look into the answers to your lurking questions, or should I do it for you? These questions you are asking are a PRIME REASON to research beyond what the main street news feeds you.
  21. I asked my three kids the old grading question. You know.. the one where the teacher decides to teach the class about socialism by giving every kid the same grade on tests. At first, everyone got a B, then a D, then an F. This concept was new to them, and they (11, 14, 17 years old) answered immediately and correctly as I told the story. How did the students' attitudes change after the first test? (the studiers were frustrated, the laggards were happy) Why do you think the average grade dropped in the second test? (the studiers lost motivation, the laggards stopped trying) What happened to the students' cooperation as the tests continued? (no effort from anyone)
