Totally agree. The problem is he's still has the climate science skeptic in charge of the EPA search committee. I think he's throwing a couple bones for "the liberal media" while going ahead with the same plan to staff EPA with folks that aren't going to get in the way of projects.

Basically 200 years of a weak/non-existant/chaotic magnetosphere will certainly have winners and losers. Personally I think the contention for safe land and resources will bring the major powers to the brink. I can't imagine anything worse than a nuclear power with nothing to lose.

A lot of geologists think we'll have a pretty decent culling of the human population when the poles flip. That could happen in our lifetime or thousands of years from now. The main contention is the parts of the Earth surface are going to get fried with radiation when that happens. Stock up on sun block and lead lined suits.

$5000 is the J price to London (usually LHR). If you're going to Dublin the same ticket can be had for closer to $2500.

Yeah, I bet you don't like BLM either.

The difference between the republicans and the democrats is the republicans will vote for the party candidate no matter who it is. As Bill Mahr has often said "This is why the democrats lose."

Yeah, Chinese MDF. We had some come into the shop. Nearly ruined the CNC machine because they pressed a bunch of gravel into it. Pass.

Two of the last five Elections went to the person who didn't not win the most votes. It's no longer a academic what if.

He can cancel NAFTA, but he can't do the 35% tariff without an act of congress. These are the same anti-tax, free trade republicans that have been there for years. Trumps experience in getting a good deal is based on not living up to his side of the bargain.

Let's not forget the house has been trying to move on removing all H1B caps for a while now. Trump has no love loss for college educated voters, but he does like white males. So that's going to be a toss up.

So, y'all realize the same people that that have controlled the house of representatives are still there right? The people elected the same bunch of Do-Nothings that have been in place for the last 12 years or so. They are anti-tax and free-trade. So unless they all of sudden have decided to become socialists these ideas of having massive taxed on companies that move production overseas is a no go. What Trump can do is Exit NAFTA. But doing that would all of a sudden make millions of materials produced in the US more expensive to North America.

There will be winners and losers. Most of the losers are likely down South.What's left of the US Textile industry (mostly makers of denim and other bulk fabrics) would likely go out of business. It's economically viable to produce the fabric in the US and ship it to Mexico for production into clothing and then ship the finished product to the US. When that goes away it's do you think the they'll make it all in the US? No. They'll ship raw cotton to one of the super low cost countries in Asia. It will all get done over there and shipped back here because that's cheaper and works under existing tariffs that have ZERO to do with NAFTA and Trump can't easily change.

This will be a reply of the last time the GOP had control over all three houses. Screw over the poor, cut taxes on the rich, privatize a bunch of stuff that actually runs fairly well, line the pockets of big donors, spend a bunch of money on some bullshit war and then wonder why the budget is out of control. Rinse and Repeat.

Well, you're bolstered by Russia messing with the former Iron Curtain countries. For a while it appeared that Ukraine was going to upset India for sub-contracting. High quality English, smaller time zone difference and they had no problems pushing back on tech issues and coming up with alternative solutions. Now Western countries are fearful about placing all their bets on a place that could go up in smoke overnight.

If you want something well built the last player still standing is Speed Queen. You'll pay for that quality and get a factory warranty to that's 3-4 times better than anyone else.

It's too bad budget cuts in the US forced JPL to back out of the program. While the US has several spectacular failures, they also have even more successes. The fact that they got the Rube Goldberg landing device for the Curiosity lander to work is an engineering wonder in itself. Hopefully Europe has the same tolerances for learning from mistakes as the US.
