Sadly the world is already on board with letting the U.S. consolidate into depression, recession, failure on every front and way. As one of just many stories out there from the BBC: Firms will hesitate to invest in US after raid - South Korea president The more you read from around the world the uglier it gets: South Korea says detained Korean workers released from Georgia facility before flight home Fastest way is to have a Narcissist ignorant idiot47 and his administration be too stupid to understand that Americans do not have the knowledge to setup battery plants. Nor is the desire to get the technical degrees by most folks especially in the south based on recent education reviews of states here. So, this leaves companies to bring in temporary outside folks to get things setup so they can train those wanting to get the jobs. Yet the stupidity is so great that the $350 Billion that Korea committed to invest in the U.S. is now probably not going to happen. Presidential Chief: $350 Billion Fund Talks Stalled This is shown by Hyundai now thinking of mothballing the existing plants under construction and just keeping things as is for now. That means no $35 billion investment for Georgia, 10's of thousands of jobs and growth in the auto industry here. No this is Stagnation and death of the Auto Industry in the U.S. Ram has killed already having any type of EV and the Ramcharger EV pickup will now be a copy of what Ford did with a traditional gas truck and electrical to offer using the truck as a generator much like the F150 with pro power package were used to power homes in Texas due to the stupidity of that state leadership with a weak electrical grid. Ram's electric pickup truck is officially dead In other words, ignorant leadership brings death, and the days of the old manufacturing industrial revolution is gone and will not come back. The biggest problem is that neither political party is working for "We the People" they are clearly taking money into their own pocket and letting the 1% have their way, this will destroy what people think America is about. Idiot47 and his lemmings have no clue about "We the People", they are stupid in understanding the constitution, willing to manipulate to break the laws for their own self entitlement gain and fail to see how they are destroying this country. While CEO Mary of GM says they are still committed to EVs, the pull back and single line manufacturing of all EV models while they invest billions in old tech is not going to save GM in the long run unless they truly make some major changes. Society will move forward, auto industry will move forward the Ford, Stellantis, and GM, America auto industry very well could become a footnote in history books by 2050, though it could get stretched out if America truly becomes a dictatorship state, then look at Russia and their old back assward country as well as North Korea and how behind they are. Two 3rd world countries thinking they are 1st world and a 1st world country becoming a 3rd world country due to stupidity.

Yeah, someone skilled with a rifle in Utah and they immediately wanted to blame a democrat

One can acknowledge that it is a horrible and uncalled for thing to happen while simultaneously not mourning the loss and acknowledge that the world is a slight slightly better place today. That said, its interesting watching one side tie themselves in knots trying to blame the other now that it’s come out that this was red on red crime.

Speaking of rail, I hope that California completes high-speed rail. Southwest Airlines certainly doesn't like it, but it's better for the state. And DC doesn't support it, which is no surprise. The Big 3 (one reportedly more so) pushed streetcars and fixed route urban transit off the streets of the Los Angeles area decades ago, with a subway type system not coming back until the freakin' '90s.

Join me in wishing @A Horse With No Name a "slightly" belated birthday. (I'm in another space or another place if I miss these announcements.) I hope you had a great birthday.

When I saw this, I thought of you guys and how much most of you love Tesla. This is obviously where they unload these nasty cars. This is what I saw walking from the marine terminal in Southampton to the train station to fly out to warm weather that same afternoon. I was following some Europeans with luggage across the street and a green turning lane was still in effect. A local started yelling at us from his car in that working class brand of UK talk, including all "you 'effin' idiots." At least I could understand it. I need a translator for heavy-duty Scottish talk. The crossing was good. The ship stayed close to Canada all the way up to Newfoundland and then crossed. There was only one day of light chop. There were 2 poolside days in the beginning. That meant indoor jacuzzis under the glass roof for the rest of the crossing. Of four trips, the cabin was the best I've had. The composition of the table was marginal compared to previous trips. I won't go into it or I wouldn't be P.C. I reverted to the open seating option on a few nights. With all that, I didn't want to get off. A few others said the same thing. If the seas are good, it's incredibly relaxing. You're just lulled into another state and it's mostly a good one.

Another white cis male. A teen. A teen radicalized by hate. No whole lotta media coverage either. Do not know how American media is wrapping this one up as the guy in the video says, a baby faced teen with mental health issues...but... I know I went off bigly before, but there are SEVERAL themes I mentioned that NEED to be addressed. Violence begets violence. Hate begets hate Violence and death is necessary when violence and death is staring you down. Dont mistake this for ANYTHING OTHER than violence and death... Jon Stewart says violence should NEVER be tolerated. And he would be correct 100000%. But he also says that is "their" problem. NO!!!! It is ALL of YOUS problem. And the way Trump talks about MY country, Canada, it kinda looks like its MINE and my fellow Canadians' problem too, hence my violent rhetoric. Violence (gun or otherwise) now has been accepted and romanticized by MANY Americans. Lies have buried the truth and fascism has settled in. Peacefully because it is of the slowly boiling a frog scenario. But hate and violence REVEALS itself every step of the way going forward. If you ignore it while waiting the courts to decide your fate, look again, the courts have been ignored by Trump. Some judges have been replaced with Trump sympathizers. Dont think the US is becoming violent? He says 1 death is too many. He asks how many deaths is too many? Violence should NEVER be tolerated after naming 50 school shootings the last 25 years but acknowledging there are plenty more to recognize going back further than 25 years... He asks what the phoque are we (Americans) are doing? THE PHOQUE ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING???!!! And if THAT is the sentiment of the right wing morons that WANT war with the left, with Hyundai employees, with transgenders, with Canada and Canadians...then HOW THE PHOQUE ARE THE REST OF YOU GOING TO RESPOND???!!! Peacefully and with the courts???!!! Yeah...every act of war was NEVER won with give peace a chance, kumbaya sit downs. Im afraid Yoko Ono/John Lennon Give Peace a Chance love songs are just a tad too late for peace to happen. It kinda worked after the Viet Nam war for a while. But American society let hate and violence creep into their world again...

Blame a democrat? They want to start a civil war with the left yet at the same time complain why there is no empathy for dear ole Charlie and at the same time say that empathy is a made up word with no meaning and empathy is not only a human weakness but empathy is also evil. Therefore... Is it really horrible when it comes to death, regardless of how that death was arranged, of misinforming, misleading, false narrative, hate filled pricks that fuel hatred, bigotry, sexism, racism, homophobic rhetoric designed to divide? For me...it is not horrible when garbage is taken out. It is necessary. A society lets people and politicians like Trump and Charlie to spew lies and hatred and divisions happen within that society. Fascism creeps in and takes control. The truth gets buried and never comes back. Free speech for me but not for thee is standard practice. Political violence is tolerated ONLY by those who want to take control. And in this case, religion is used as a shield. I find it repulsive when Christianity is used and abused the way it has been by America as a Greek Orthodox practitioner myself. I also find it repulsive when right wing a55ho77e5 want to silence me by using my kindness, my religion against me as saying I am of the tolerant left and I should NOT revolt back because political violence is not a defining Christian trait and freedoms of this and freedoms of that. Yet...the right wing BREAKS ALL OF THE RULES. Hate speech begets hate. Charlie fueled hate. Charlie got hate back. By his own ilk un-ironically. Charlie tolerated violence. School shootings and public executions. Charlie got killed in a school setting by a very public setting. All that he tolerated and was killed by the very thing he preached and praised. By his own flock un-ironically. And he did not get ANY empathy as even he admitted that empathy is INHUMANE and evil. Well, colour me inhumane and evil, but I am only following his doctrine. About religion and violence...Greece is thousands of years old. Greece has seen ALL kinds of political violence in its existence. The Hellenic peoples have seen it all throughout our history on this planet. About political violence and Christianity being or not being involved. If any of you do not know what was the Ottoman empire, I suggest you read a history book. As you could see, even if I am not American, (although Im very close in being one), I MOURN the state of the US possibly MORE than some of you that are phoquing afraid to fight for your rights and freedoms!!! Take BACK your country!!!

(Notice I chose old geezers to wish you a happy birthday?) (notice that I used a donkey to simulate that Im joking? Because I could be such an ass sometimes?)

White cis male from a Mormon gun lovin' and totin' family, Halloween Trump costume wearin' Utah resident no less, at that.

IIRC the other founder of Turning Point died of Covid after denying safety steps for covid or something. You can argue morality and logic, but the impacts/results/effects of what you do are objective and real. A bit of non political fun, this is gorgeous. If I wasn't turning 60 years old today, I would drive that damn thing.

Ideas have moral consequences, dig through my eleventy billion political posts here. There is a reason for my cynacism. Interesting video on Carbon fiber, I am not going to full on mountain bike now that I am turning 60 tomorrow, but I am thinking of building a gravel bike of sorts.

No great loss, just another right wing rabble rouser POS.

What in the fck are you talking about?

Mexico is doing things right.

Its coming... https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/article/conservative-activist-charlie-kirk-has-been-shot-at-an-event-at-utah-valley-university-a-spokesperson-says/ Charlie Kirk got shot. Was he just shot at or shot and got wounded and how badly? Do not know and I do not care. Personally I hope the phoqer dies. I do not care how he dies or when. But when he does die, Im more interested in what his status will be when he tries to go through the Pearly Gates... Anyway...Where? In Utah at a college event apparently. Utah. A red state I presume. Will Trump deploy the National Guard? You now...to quell the violence... Phoque Charlie Kirk. Phoque Trump Phoque Utah (Except the Mammoth. Hockey is CANADA's GAME!!!) Phoque Red States Phoque the US
