    Seems to me that Trump's assertive foreign policy is working out fairly well, despite all the dire predictions being made.

    Escalation is already happening in the middle east.

    I think they don't want to because they are petrol heads; but they are seeing that electric cars are superior and are forced to switch now.

  17. It isn't the site that's the problem. It's the people. Stupid, egoistic people.

    BS. this is about wage. There is no mention of having to hire women.
