Comment Stupid nomenclature. (Score 0) 35

Confusing terminology by co-opting accepted terms already in common use.

We're going to name this golf cart "Jet Plane"!
We're going to call this jet plan "submarine"
We're going to name this sailboat "family car".
We're going to make this snowmobile "toboggan"

Sorry. Stupid shit like this makes it impossible to take anything these people say seriously.

You're on drugs.

You basically want to off-shore all production, the "protect" the foreign business,

Absolute insanity.

Tell us, again, why are we now dependent on CHINA for rare earths again?

Is that kind of domination of our economy worth getting cheap shit, polluting the planet and destroying our country?

The party of Tipper Gore still trying to pretend that they were always the "good guys".

Name a single book that conservatives have banned.

One book you could openly go out and BUY yesterday or anytime in the last decade that you CANNOT go out and buy NOW.

And before you start naming shit off, look again.
If you start mentioning school books, ask yourself, are you forbidden from purchasing them for your own use or the use of your children?
Or are these locales simply refusing to carry them in schools using sources that are essentially government subsidization?

They are NOT the same thing.

I saw a price expansion about 2 years ago after they simply decided not to accept the payment on my car insurance, then dropped me.

Found out about it 6 months later, and they jacked my rates because of non-payment.

THEN returned the check uncashed.

And the eternal push towards "Thou shalt buy new electric vehicles" never mind that I have a 2008 car that has spent the last 15 years garage parked and driven under 10K a year (actually under 2K a year).

This could drastically increase the lifespan of people with various diseases that destroy the liver.
It's a truly ethical method of obtaining a liver transplant that doesn't require people to die, nor is anyone required to wake up in a back alley surgery, sitting in a tub of ice, missing a kidney.

And reducing the possibility of transplant rejection further increases the safety of the procedure.
