Sorry, you have to get out of the blue cities for a while. While you can find racism in red America, that's true, you find it equally or even more so in blue America. It's hardly universal.
That's because to these European "Agenda 21ers," for lack of a better word, want to force everyone into huge urban constellations - people are easier to control if they can be spied on continuously, and it's easy to do that in a city.
In general, I agree with you, they are designed to expand your horizons. However, I'm not upper class, I was poor growing up - I needed a way up. So I thought 'what can I do to get a decent job' and took a useful degree- but remember, your major is typically 1/3 to 1/2 of your credits. There's plenty of space for additional mind expanding classes, even if studying math, computer science, etc. (EE not so much).
Even if you live in a medicaid expansion state, if you're even slightly successful at your job, you wont' qualify for ACA plans that are subsidized.
The biggest issue is "Why does a short visit to a hospital that does not have an overnight stay cost so much"?
Very true. It's unfortunate that half of the country thinks their boy will be an angel and the other, a devil. And the other half thinks the same thing.
Actually the gold age of ham was in the 60s and 70s. There was another war of the AM ham radio guys versus the SSB radio guys. It's tragic that the hobby is digging its own grave.
The other thing is the financial barrier to entry - buying ham equipment isn't cheap (not surprising, you're setting up a global-range radio station in your home. But it does cost money, time, and space).
The other thing is time - who has time for much in the way of hobbies anymore? Internet related things are popular 'cause people can do stuff while sitting on the train, in the dentist waiting room, etc.
I've never been much of a ham radio guy BUT I used to be an avid SW listener - too bad that so much shortwave has been replaced by internet radio. The quality is better but some of the penache is gone. But, you have to move with the times and the fact that you can get interference free broadcasts is nice. Why, you're only interfered with by someone who might hijack the packets from (say) Radio Australia and inject a totally different broadcast in. But no national spy agency would want to do that, would it?
It's amazing. I don't have a Tesla. At this point I have no plans to get an electric car until that's all I can get. But that's beside the point.
If Space X can do awesome stuff with space exploration, I'll be thrilled.
But there is one thing I do wonder:
CAN'T ANYONE KEEP HIS TRIP SHUT ANYMORE?
The US President can't keep his trap shut on twitter. Musk can't keep his trap shut on twitter. People in entertainment and athletics, who confuse their popularity among viewers on television who are merely trying to keep from thinking by consuming mindless entertainment, now think themselves important and are yapping away on twitter.
Who cares? STFU and get on with your life, is my feeling.
Now I'll stop yapping on slashdot instead of twitter;-)
We're also talking about the Russia, the stepchild of the USSR. You know, the left wing country that murdered > 60m people killed by their own country. If civilian power supplies go out and people die, so what? (Oh, yes, before the left wing shills start whining that my numbers aren't accurate, here's where they came from: https://hawaii.edu/powerkills/... . Don't start telling me that HAWAII is a right wing US state, please)
I never did work on missile tech etc. during the cold water. But I knew people who did and I'm almost old enough to have done this.
I don't think it's possible to convey the mood of the time. After the near TEOTWAWKI due to the Cuban missile crisis, nobody really knew whether ICBM war was going to happen or not (It still may, who knows?). The idea was that a good deterrent was something that kept the peace.
Who knows? We're still here, maybe it did.
Exactly. Let's see, who signed the NDAA that allowed indefinite internment of anyone without trial? Obama. Who pushed, and got, PATRIOT II? Obama. The useful idiots don't seem to realize that both major parties in this country are equally evil. And the one that say s'Oh, it's for the CHILDREN!' is even more evil.
Get a grip. What you're advocating is NO protection for the US economy in any way. What's next, adopting the same type of environment that China has?
Typical left wing insanity.
I absolutely agree. However, when you try community policing and the cops get assaulted and battered, well, it does make the idea be "let 'em kill each other" yes?
I know exactly what it is. But when you have no recourse , then yes, you are living under a totalitarian regime. When the state (not the people, the STATE) owns the means of production, you are a slave.

Two years - not quite 2 years. Remember, he was sworn in January 2017.

Have you ever been to rural America? If you have, you haven't been to the same one I have been to.

I'm not a baby boomer, just younger than them, but I gotta tell ya, most boomers born after (say) 1954 do not have them.
Rather like the gulag option the Democrats offer.

Yeah I can't understand how folks cannot see that the code has the bias of the designer/developer. Sheesh.

Or the folks who spend their time yapping on mobile phones about ecological damages, too. Just bizarre.

Exactly! SV has been building the 1984 surveillance society for a couple of decades now and everyone just said 'oh all this tech is soooo cool!!'
Indeed, goodness only knows, you certainly can't disagree if you're from the left wing world! And respect? That'll never happen. Sheesh.

Actually, I would claim he or she is more of a communist. Of course, fascism and communism are mostly the same thing.
But the left wing nuts that have been running the bloc for so long are okay?

Your statement is illogical. I'm quite self aware, thank you.
And your point is what? The UK is the "United Kingdom of GB and NI" - but it's a constitutional monarchy.
