The true leftists are showing their colors. They are bat nuts crazy.

I have deep roots in Texas north of Dalles and also roots in New Jersey. I do have some understanding of both. But I would take the place where you can legally pump your own gas any day. There are good reasons why companies are leaving New Jersey and moving to Texas. It’s not all about the greed. . . .As for your redistricting issue - It all sucks. The house of representatives needs to increase in size by at least 2, maybe 6 times. Then each of the districts would be a much smaller and more reasonable size. That in turn would reduce, though not eliminate, all this gerrymandering.

Maybe. But, it is well documented that the length of a yellow is often decreased when adding red light cameras to an intersection. If it is just for safety then why decrease the length of the yellow light? One day people hit a yellow, make it through the intersection before the red and it’s legal. After the cameras have been installed the exact same pattern has people running a red light and getting a ticket. Clearly revenue is a factor.

This is the state where pumping your own gas is illegal.

I can’t tell what is fact, and what is fiction or opinion. Like most media these days it’s void of citations. Furthermore, underlining data can be interpreted very differently depending on how it is read.

Perhaps the following is true “For the overwhelming majority of graduates, the returns on going to college more than offset the cost of tuition.” But that statement does not appear to factor in those who do not graduate. What is the return on investment if the entire dataset, including those who do not graduate, is examined? And, does the comparison take into account lost years of earnings and savings? I doubt there is factor for quality of life. For instance, some will graduate and work long hours making good money but hate what they do.

And it might be nick picky, but she says enrollment is going up, but everything I have read says we have hit peak enrollment. The primary reason being that the population in the typical college age range is going down.

Google Pepsi's Tesla real world range. Pepsi says the trucks have exceeded range expectations. Pepsi has also said those trucks have lower maintenance cost and are preferred by drivers.

On the other hand, do you have any evidence for your serious doubts? Or is it all based on thought experiments in your own head?

For sure. CNN is just garbage pushing their agenda. (The same is true of most of the other networks. ). It is difficult to find true old school reporting that is fact oriented instead of agenda oriented. Personally I find News Nation to be one of the better news organizations. https://www.newsnationnow.com/

My experience with 3 family Tesla’s, not all mine, is a battery degradation rate much less than 1.8 per year. Closer to 1%. I do not think most cars last 20 years. So battery replacement is probably not needed. Certainly in some cases. But not typically. So that part of the model seems accurate to me.

The United States needs more than 2 parties. We also need more representatives. The size of the districts should be cut in half, or more. That would help with this giant gerrymandering problem. It would decrease the cost and value for an individual district. This would decrease the power the parties have over their members. And make it easier to have a viable 3rd party.

The money is not going away. But getting more of the community involved can counter this. Right now the district’s are so large that they are above any community, controlling them but not really part of them. By being so large they span too many different communities and too many different interests. Most people in those communities do not know their representatives. Smaller districts can, partially, fix this.

Still works. His life has been vastly improved.

Source? What I have read was that while many of the Probes did not properly stay inserted on the first patient the results were, and still are, very positive. I have seen nothing in the literature stating it was replaced.

Absolutely. My daughter and son, and their spouses, all in their 20s agree. We saw it at every level in the education system. From high school to masters degree.

Forward party. We need new and better people in DC. Everyone should stop voting for either the failed Dems or the Republicans.

Well, according to the International Trade Union Confederation, only things that are good for the International Trade Union Confederation are good for democracy. I wonder how far down the list one has to go to get to Putin, Hamas or the like.

You are free to think that. But, this was a real mission, with real science. From testing the space suits, to research on Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome, to communications, and even motivating others on Earth. They spent significant amounts of time training. They accepted the risk. And expanded the envelope of space exploration. I believe thatâ(TM)s all pretty good.
