We allow snake oilsalesmen and dirty CEOs to become billionnaires and we are against helping our societies grow... We believe in these snake oilsalesmen's shytty dreams and we make them demigods. All tech related products like Apple products or Paypal or Amazon is great, but all these billionnaires OWN us. We worship them but we allow them to control us even further... Bezos, Musk, Steve Jobs and others... All these folks are a detriment to our FREEDOMS alongside shytty politicians... But this is what we ultimately wanted... We made our beds. We shall now sleep in them...

Socrates and Plato said something similar about democracy and voting and allowing uneducated and untrained people to decide what is for the good of the polisfor everybody. Also, one of the two mentioned how easy it is for corrupt politicians to fool and to manipulate the dumb populace on what the corrupt politicians would want to influence. Also both mentioned that perverse democracy leads to tyranny. And to know what really is mind blowing is that what is happening in the US and Canada right now and for the past 40 years with its stupid populace voting and especially voting for blatant corrupt leaders that dont even hide their agendas is that this very thing happened in Athens 2500 years ago and Socrates not only called it but he witnessed it with his own death... Plato preached the faults of democracy and despised idiots voting. Democracy is not a bad thing per se, its a very good thing. But its severely flawed when the general populace is dumb as phoque and dont realize how they get played by the ruling class they keep on voting in. In North America is quite evident that EVERYBODY including us...yes us right here posting right now, are just stupid pawns. At least in France, Greece, Spain, Italy and maybe a couple of other European countries, the populace riots when their governments get out of hand. Us here in North America, we wait in line like a bunch of jack asses for thext iPhone, or we cause a ruckus when Taylor Swift tickets are too expensive for us to attend her concerts or we cant get FM radio on our Teslas (yeah a while back there was a slight backlash) or when GM decides that they dont want to offer Apple car play in their cars etc... We listen to Youtubers and podcasters that make money on the monetized internet for clicks but we crucify legit scientists. We are blinded by and worship corrupt politicians but we question the legit ones. We idolize monetized Joe Rogans and Alex Jones and basterds like that... And for the last 40 phoquing years North America has been on the decline.

The world is a village. It doesn't matter where you go, you will always see people buying lottery cards, schedules, tickets, or scratchers. Most of these people have no business buying them. Said another way, most of these people wouldn't understand the most basic concepts of a statistics course if they bit them in the ass. "Probability" is your friend.

Good morning ... ... happy birthday, Kamala Harris

Deniers always continue to dispute issues even when they are presented with hard data by scientists, economists, statisticians, etc. They're kind of dense and/or bring personal baggage into the equation. It's almost sad that they get the same vote (instead of relative weighting ... what a concept) as some of the people with more critical thinking skills. Then, it's definitely sad that our country's simpletons could determine policy and anything of import for those who live in large swaths with way more complex and enlightened areas.

What people name their kids can be very interesting. I was once checking into a hotel in a suburb of Toronto, and the name of the guy helping me was Supreme. I asked him if his parents were Oldsmobile fans ... nope, they were Motown fans. The year before, I was going to the breakfast room at a hotel in Portugal and one of the employees running the breakfast service was a guy named Majeek. Now, Supreme was laid back and likable, but Majeek was very cool. I forgot where in the Portuguese diaspora his family came from ... possibly the Cape Verde Islands. The more you travel, or just look around you and observe, the more trippy things you will see and unique people you will come across.

Catching up on this thread after not checking it for a while...loving the Cadillac and Corvette pics, and the 80s cars...

Life is amazing in that regards as two critical points in my life was my college days in Japan for my love of the R33 and R34 Skyline cars and Depech Mode Music for the Masses concert I went to in Japan. Otherwise all my other music connection from College is Jazz, specifically Keiko Matsui - YouTube and toshiki kadomatsu - YouTube For Keiko, the first time I saw her and heard here was her Dream Walk Concert and got her album. Keiko Matsui — Dream Walk (youtube.com) For Toshiki it was his Sea is a Lady Album, My wife walked down the asle to his June Bride music on this Album.

Funny, but I dont understand or I dont know of this "Montreal special Canadian edition" bathroom is all about. Hopefully its not how foreigners think about Montreal. But then again our Olympic stadium might have influenced the foreigner views of our city. Toilet bowl and the surrounding pathways are the pvc piping in the picture there...

yeah... I heard Heart's Who Will You Run To on the radio several days ago. Havent heard that song in a loooooong time. Forgot it existed but always had their other hits on my mind. Regardless, as soon as I heard it and the song remained in my mind ever since, tons of memories flooded my mind from that time period. 1987 to be exact. Those are pictures of Montreal. The church is right next to the Eaton center downtown and was 'lifted' to expand our underground city. In 1987... Along with the Champ-de-Mars pictures, the area, and all of Old Montreal really, is what keeps on playing in my mind as the songs make me reminisce of 1987. Heart and Soul is also a song that I think about when I think about Downtown Montreal and Old Montreal in 1987. The song Alone, also in 1987, makes me think about my highschool. And yup, that would be my highschool. The other buidling is Paul Sauve arena. I used to play hockey for my highschool in that arena. It was close to my highschool as you could guess. That specific Hitachi VCR and the cable channel box is what we owned in that time period. The cars play a part of my life as well during this time. Went to Greece for a couple of months that summer. I got a different set of music and cars for those memories of Greece. Yup, that post was a very personal one. The memories are still vivid in my mind. LOL I do it with some sort of connection to the cars I post. Meaning, I have a car or cars in mind, then I partner them to songs. Different reasons on how I partner up cars to the songs. But you do you. Just entertain us is what I ask.

@A Horse With No Name I really have been taken with the New Kia EV family of style.

If old Trumpy gets back into the White House with his Drill Baby Drill attitude, expect this warming to pick up more.

Living in Ohio has never felt so good. It seems to have made landfall with less damage than expected, which is good. I love this. Kia is building some hella stylish vehicles! I like that area. Visiting up north in the Panhandle next month. I just find astrology mindless.

Saw a 1995 Buick Road Master Special Edition Station Wagon with fake wood siding and all the trimmings, seen better days, driven by a boomer and even had the crazy bumper sticker of "Trump is My President" ?
