Ahhhh, you're one of "those". I'm very sorry that you did not succeed in life, but truly, it isn't anyone's fault but your own. I realize that you were raised believing that you are the absolute greatest thing in history, but that was just something your mommy told you because she loved you. It's not true. Suck it up buttercup and be an adult. Get your shit together and quit blaming the "almost different world than the current generation" for your failure to thrive. Just some helpful advise from someone old enough to have garnered a bit of life experience.

Absolutely! I'm not a conservative right winger by any stretch of the imagination. That you automatically jumped to that conclusion lessens you.

I completely disagree. Once you have children, that is then your life. As a parent your "job" is to raise the kids to be productive, well adjusted, adults and nothing else. This BS of "still having a life" after you decide to have kids is a generational thing and it needs to weeded out of our culture. It started with my generation (late "boomers") and has only gotten worse with each subsequent distracted generation. If you can not afford kids or you do not want to put in the effort, then don't have them, it's that simple.

What color is the sky in you imaginary world?

Like he's ever going to leave. He'll declare himself president for life or maybe Emperor, that sounds grander after all.

I'm in Ca and had a land line till just a couple of years ago. Again the /. crowd can't seem to recognize that not everyone lives in a metro area. I have no cell service at my property and had DSL right up to finally getting Starlink. Fuck AT&T, they took the money, they need to follow through with the job. That goes for all the carriers that have promised to install high speed internet for years and never followed through.

If you're over 30, go to any store in your city, town, or neighborhood and speak to the kid stocking the shelves. It's truly evident that the world is well on it's way to a "Idiocracy" dystopia.

Is this just another ploy to sneak Recall back into the mix?

Since all new homes in Ca now require solar be installed, this sounds pretty dodgy. Plus how large is this installation? Plus there will be an easement preventing you from doing anything within a certain area of the installation and to provide access from the street for any repairs/upgrades. I expect this to plan to fail quickly. Personally, I think the answer to the power issue is to eliminate the need for giant AI data centers all together.

No, I think it's simply a problem of who they have contracts with. They all live an work in the metro areas so that's where they find the outside contractors. They never seemed to ask if the appraisers had Ag experience. Of the the trials I observed they all admitted to having never appraised Ag land prior to that appraisal. As I said it never went well for the state.

It is so sad, but you are right.

I've watched several trials here in the Central Valley. One of the main issues is Sacramento sends appraisers from metro areas to appraise farm land. They appraiser starts with, well, there are not any utilities near by, the nearest sewer hookup is 6 miles and there are not any access points, etc, etc. The jury who is full of farmers all but do a face plant and then award ten times what the state/authority had appraised each acre of Almonds for.

Yes, because guns were never made by hand before the invention of CNC. It is quite doable to make a gun or any of it's parts by hand, it just takes alot of time and effort. A law that tries to prevent easy manufacture will not stop someone who is determined. It's just another stupid unenforceable code that will be ignored. However it did enriched the bank accounts of the politicians who proposed it

What hospital isn't for profit?
