Yeah, and the Sahara desert use to have lakes and streams. Climate changes! Blaming it on man is just another way to control people by government. 25-50-100 years of data is NOTHING compared to the age of the planet. If "climate change" was such a big deal, then why haven't the "millionaires & billionaires" moved AWAY from the coasts and continue to move there and build huge homes? I thought they were suppose to be the smartest ones on the planet?

Unlike the people that don't want their farmland gobbled up by solar panels or having wind farms that make a lot of noise?

excluding taxes, title, license, registration, governmental fees, destination charges, documentation fees, and any optional equipment, So, slap on another 40,000 dollars LOL.

I don't! But there are millions that read something on Wikipedia and believe it as gospel! It's a left leaning site, pretty much has been for years. A lot of teachers tell their students to NOT use Wikipedia when researching subjects. When you have pretty much a anyone-can-edit-anything-they-want website, that is controlled by really no one, that is what you get. SLOP.

The first thing I would do back then when playing computer games was to turn that ANNOYING music OFF!

Smartphones are so far ahead of what people use them for, perhaps some are not upgrading every year like they use to. Given the price of the upgrades, inflation and everything else going on, maybe people are keeping them longer too.

Yeah, how much did the smart phone industry pay for them to say that?

The UK has had such an influx of FOREIGNERS there were either from Europe or elsewhere, that it wouldn't surprise me.

40+ years of shutting down coal fired plants, shutting down nuclear plant & building up wind/solar. Instead of BOOSTING the power grid, we "just kept even". And, with energy generation that can't "increase" output like a coal GENERATION or nuclear GENERATION plant can. WOW! Perfect time to start building AI data centers too! Brown/blackouts in the future!

Good lord! If he says I've never even been there, couldn't they at least check his cell phone location data? Unless it is turned off, it would show where he pretty much was.

What an utterly naive interpretation of world history you have. I can assure you, if you'd been a Jew being rounded up for extermination in WW2 you'd have a different opinion. Likewise, if you were Chinese or Korean being subjugated by Imperial Japan, you'd have a different perspective. There is such a thing as a "just war" even though you somehow ignore the concept. It's usually when your opponent starts the war and is hell bent on eradicating you and your way of life.

Alas, you sit there in perfect safety and comfort, passing judgement on those who sacrificed fa more than you can ever imagine so you could impugn their sacrifices.

Banned for who? And who's going to enforce this ban?

You have to remember any treaty (a) must have signatories that agree to follow it and (b) there must be a method of enforcement. If you lack either of these two conditions, the treaty has no effect.

Not sure how you think you could pull that off, but whatever.

Again...exactly how do you plan to accomplish this? It's not like Iran hasn't been firing missiles at our carriers this whole time. Yeah, it's a halfhearted effort by the Iranians, but what exactly do you think would happen to Iran if you managed to even damage one of our carriers, much less sink one? I can describe it thusly: the American gloves would come off. Iran would be plastered into oblivion via conventional bombardment, and there's very little Iran could do to stop it. Sure, we'd take losses, but the Iranian regime would cease to exist in totality. America has had this option available to it since day one. We haven't exercised it. Not because we couldn't do it but because we chose not to. Do not mistake restraint for a lack of capability.

Medicare caused a LOT of rural hospitals to close. I remember growing up in the 60's. Small town at the time 2300 people. We had a 30-40 room hospital where most people in a 30 mile range were born. When medicare came along, the hospital would have been forced to make a TON of "mandated" upgrades to qualify to be able to take medicare patients. They closed the hospital, the doctors stuck around for a few years then they left too. After that happened, if there was an emergency, instead of being a couple minutes from an ER, you were sent in an ambulance 25 miles away. Not only that, once medical insurance, medicare/medicaid came along, RATES for doctors visits, hospital stays went through the roof! Companies started buying hospitals, doctors offices and what not. Now, in most towns & cities, there is ONE hospital and all of the doctors are "owned" by the hospital. So you can't really shop for a less expensive doctor. Other than the urgent care places you are really screwed.

I don't need 4,304 sensors, cameras, touch screens and other do-dads. Give me a good stereo, AC/heat KNOBS, BUTTONS, DIALS.
