Washington DC is nothing more than a swampy money pit. https://www.usdebtclock.org/

I stated clearly the type of area I live in. There are NO EV charging stations in the cornfields here. A fairly large city is 10 miles away. And I actually do not remember seeing any charging stations there, though I expect someone has them. There are gas stations everywhere, and most farmers of any size have their own bulk tanks, though they would mostly be diesel, not gas. When an EV truck (yes, lots of trucks here) would run out of charge in a 100 acre field, in mud and rain, how do you charge it? You don't . You would get another gas/diesel truck and DRAG it back to a road, and then load/tow it to town for a charge. That would be insane, and it is NOT happening here. I do not know anyone that has a EV truck. Nor anyone with an EV car. We do real life work here, not play time.

I am out in a rural area. I want my mail delivered on the day it is supposed to arrive. That means, no electric vehicles, period. Plus it is winter, that makes it all the worse. There are NO charging stations out here, and likely never will be. Just NO. I am a farm boy, became BSEE and IT pro, and worked for a large power company for 45 years. In NO way do I want an EV, nor my mail delivered out here by one. I have seen *real* BS, and EVs are real BS.

I post 50+ news links daily, but in the past few months, some of them have been AMP links. I do run through all the links looking for AMP and strip out the AMP part. All it does is send data back to Ggl and makes the links sometimes 3 or 4 times the size. I also strip out the same kind of junk on other news sites, bringing them back to the basic links. Facebook sharing is bad for that. (Facebook is terrible...) I need to create a script in LibreOffice writer to do all that....when I get time.

The electoral college as deliberately put in the Constitution so that smaller states would have a voice, and so that 3-4 large states would not be selecting the president on every election.

The electoral college is NOT obsolete. Unless you just want about 3 large states to control every election from now till the end, which will come sooner if that happens. Do You Understand the Electoral College? https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Neither a small or large penis will deter an out of control federal government. Guns however, have made a difference and did so on multiple instances.

in a sea of them. Why does the question think we are all in software development?
Ans: From all the debugging we do when using software.....

I cannot believe the flat out ignorance of so very many folks on how the government of the U.S.A. is supposed to work. But before we get started on *that*, let's look at this:

To begin with, the article linked is at www.dailykos.com, which is run by Markos Moulitsas. He is American born of a Salvadoran (a country with long standing socialist influences) mother and a Greek (more socialism) father, and grew up both in El Salvador and Chicago. Now I am from Indiana, not all that far from Chicago and know that a Republican in Chicago is regarded a Liberal in Indiana. He backed, and campaigned for Liberal Democrats throughout. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markos_Moulitsas]. He is a Leftist, and his web site reflects that.

The DailyKos article links to an article at thinkprogress.org, from which google tells us that Soros funds Thinkprogress and following the money, behind Net Neutrality, just as Rush alleged. And for that matter, reading the entire list of inter-networked organizations covered at http://discoverthenetworks.org/ finds George Soros deeply involved in funding a vast network of anti USA, anti-freedom, anti-capitalism, anti-Business organizations of the progressive Left. That includes the attack on the Chamber of Commerce.
George Soros, a statist Socialist who wants to control the world, is behind “Net Neutrality” [link here]

All of these individuals and organizations are committed Socialists and Progressives. The problem with that here is the USA, is that it is the diametric opposite of the US Constitution, Liberty, Capitalism (which is just people saving their money and investing it), and all else this country stands for. It is nothing new that Socialism has been infiltrating the USA for over 100 years. And it is nothing new that Socialism has never, ever, not one time, worked for an extended period of time. It seems to work, until it runs out of other peoples money. It will then die as it has always in the past, and with a fair share of suffering and violence as the throes of death proceed.

In short, Net Neutrality, especially done by the FCC, is un-Constitutional

The problem of the FCC “regulating” the internet is that they have NO governmental right to do so.

They were denied that right previously in court.

They were denied that right by Congress regardless of how many times it was tried.

Briefy, the Executive branch (President, and *his* FCC) cannot make law. Congress makes law, which when passed must be approved by the President. And that can be revoked in the Courts. The case here is that the President through the FCC is making law.

Obama, long before he was elected President, Obama lamented that the "Constitution is a charter of negative liberties". [audio]. The problem here is that the Constitution in every point, limits government and gives it NO right to do anything TO its citizens. That was done by design of the Founders. Obama laments that because he wants to impose Socialism and wealth re-distribution. These two, Socialism and the US Constitution, are incompatible.

I also cannot understand why people here cannot understand business. I am a business owner in that I have a 401K, and it invests in business. Hence most of my retirement is based on business dooing well. Yet so many here do not seem to like business or understand it, and would destroy the investments and retirements of millions of ordinary average citizens in their quest to take wealth from the so called rich.

For what it is worth, I'd fire about 100% of the Democrats, and somewhere above 75% of the Republicans. That might get rid of most of them that do NOT understand the Constitution at all.

Quite some time ago, I transferred my address list (about 100 records I'd guess) from a TI99/4a cartridge based program to IBM PC diskette. The cartridge based program stored data on cassette tape.

That data eventually went by way of comma delimited format into an early Palm Pilot [An IBM branded model], and then into later Palm Pilots. I still have that data, much amended, to this day and still on a Palm and in the PC based software for Palm.

I still have all that TI99/4a hardware, but haven't run it for a couple of decades.

You have either

Zero understanding of concepts, terms, philosophy, and facts....or

You are deliberately trying to mislead.

Now, some Republicans ( not conservatives as that is not necessarily the same thing) such as McCain, Lugar, Gramnesty, are just about as socialist/marxist as the Democrats have become. So I'll only partly dispute that.

But you are totally in error and expose yourself by claiming the Tea Party folk are Communists. The principles of the Tea Party and Communists are direct opposites. Meanwhile, you cannot tell the difference between the Democrat platform and the Communist party platform. See http://www.cpusa.org/

The Net Neutrality Coup
The campaign to regulate the Internet was funded by a who's who of left-liberal foundations.
John Fund: The Net Neutrality Coup - WSJ.com

"The net neutrality vision for government regulation of the Internet began with the work of Robert McChesney, a University of Illinois communications professor who founded the liberal lobby Free Press in 2002. Mr. McChesney's agenda? "At the moment, the battle over network neutrality is not to completely eliminate the telephone and cable companies," he told the website SocialistProject in 2009. "But the ultimate goal is to get rid of the media capitalists in the phone and cable companies and to divest them from control."

A year earlier, Mr. McChesney wrote in the Marxist journal Monthly Review that "any serious effort to reform the media system would have to necessarily be part of a revolutionary program to overthrow the capitalist system itself." Mr. McChesney told me in an interview that some of his comments have been "taken out of context." He acknowledged that he is a socialist and said he was "hesitant to say I'm not a Marxist."

Well, I hate this change. I use Deli a lot. And my bookmarks are all in categories. And it looks like none of that exports; only the bookmarks themselves. So that stinks as well.

And I do not know of an equivalent service, period.

I suppose the reason they might [are] dropping Deli is the lack of money coming in, as I don't know where that income would come from.
