...It's the affordable end of the market that is exciting.
Agree completely. I took a long drive in a Chevy Bolt earlier this summer, and fielded quite a few questions when I stopped at rest areas with fast chargers. There's a lot of curiosity about the technology out there--thanks, no doubt, to Musk and Tesla. Those manufacturers that are able to deliver a capable base model and charging solution that's accessible to the mass market will win this emerging market.
I'm not blaming Obama for the financial crises (other progressives are responsible for that). What Obama did was to turn what should have been a normal recovery into a long and drawn out stagnant economy that kept millions who lost their jobs from regaining their jobs.
That is not at all what you originally said, and what you're saying is still false. The 2007 recession and financial crisis was not a normal recession, and there was never going to be a normal recovery. There was too much damage, and it was spread too widely.
The GOP capture of the House in 2010, and complete intransigence in the Senate (check how often the filibuster was invoked after 2010) was what stymied the recovery. After the Democrats passed the ARRA in 2009 there was no further opportunity to improve the economy, thanks to Republican dogma.
As for ACA, it's easy to cover more people in the short term if you borrow to pay for it; that's not sustainable. It's the lack of sustainability and financial responsibility that makes the ACA so crappy.
In 2010 the CBO estimated that the 10-year cost of ACA reforms would be $940B, and that taxes and cost reductions would yield revenue of $1044T. Since then overall costs have come under projections, and have been below pre-ACA estimations. In other words, the ACA has saved the federal government money vs. doing nothing.
What rubbish. The 2007 recession and resulting financial crisis caused millions to lose their jobs, and turned large deficits--thanks to the tax cuts passed by the GOP--into gargantuan deficits. The trends for both of the labor force participation rates you cite (thanks for including the 2008-2009 data in your second set), as well as for the unemployment rate, were fully in place before he took office.
And as for the Affordable Care Act, it was so unworkable that it dropped the uninsured rate by a third from March 2010 to Nov. 2016.
The Air Force should be abolished. Establish the Department of Strategic Warfare instead.
If there's going to be a Space Force, originate it in the Navy and review after 15 years to determine if it should be split off into its own branch.
My wife discovered that generic lactase enzyme pills were much less effective then Lactaid brand ones. If you're wife is using generics the going with brand-name pills might help with occasional dairy consumption.
What ended her lactose intolerance for good, though, was having our third child. No idea why, but something about that birth restarted the enzyme production. Not sure one can prescribe that, however.
You should watch the John Kenny EEVBlog interview on YouTube. He's at Keysight (spun off from Agilent, which was spun off from HP), and is clear that the team there considers themselves the true heirs to HP.
That it is rarely prosecuted also does not mean it does not occur far *less* often than you are willing to assume.
I have seen plenty of hypotheses about how fraudulent votes might be cast. However, I have yet to see any evidence that fraudulent voting has been a major problem (or even a minor problem) in any state- or nationwide election during my adult life (> 30 years).
If it's a problem, we should be able to prove it's a problem.
That would be a valid avenue of research.
My mother's myeloma has responded to chemotherapy much better since it was paired with an antibiotic. This allowed the oncologist to significantly reduce the dosage, with much less discomfort and lower cost.

I wish Chevy had revived the Bel Air brand for their EV.

It was easier to add a web site to a supermarket than to add a supermarket to a web site.
Heh, I'm going to have to remember this turn of phrase...

Does anyone know how this compares with other professions?

As is Mary Barra.
