    Two very well said comments! You are on top of what's really going on! I fear that we are going to be catapulted back in time to the age of "Lords" and "surfs". But don't forget that the way to win a war is not with violence. All wars were only won with peace movements from Gandhi to Reverend Martin Luther King.

    To THAT i'l agree on 100%! - Responsible spending of taxes is for all political parties. You don't put the money in your pockets, give it to "friends" as some incentive, or bribe someone with it, or think you are going to gain some sort of "power" if you keep it... It is to be spent on the people!

    Gas stations? Gas stations are local. They are not overseas companies. The taxes go for infrastructure to France, don't they? Do you like pot holes in roads?

    Seems like they are awake. Taxes are what holds up and maintains infrastructure, health, food and shelter for the poor.

  6. AI.. Them first. You Last. on 375 Million Jobs May Be Automated By 2030, Study Suggests (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    If they REALLY wanted to be liked and constructive..They would start with automating the house. Like doing dishes, making the bed, preparing meals, doing laundry, windows, floors, carpets, walking the dog, cleaning and refilling the litter box, painting, repairing, etc.. Probably not enough money for the greedy corporations.. Instead they got to fill their pockets $$$ with the most lucrative, easy to steal jobs.. So few constructive things with AI.. sad.

    You can hide under the bed if it makes you feel better. But this corporate Bull&@** is not going to end any time soon.. People don't vote for sane candidates. Or people just don't vote ( But they complain a lot after the elections!! ), so the same idiot $$$politician$$$ keeps on wrecking or taking away things you use.

    I rode in a Honda Hybrid. With the little dinky drive and charge motor. That thing flew! And it easily gets 60mpg if you are easy on it. Tesla can do better than that. Maybe double the gas mileage. He's got the brains for it!

  15. As much as I would love to see you win.. They have bought so many laws and courts that are in their pocket, you would not stand a chance. Unless of course you ARE working in a HUGE corporation.. It's strange. I turned off my VPN connection I leave open with my friend and the typing lag in my computer stopped. Hmm.. Guess it's true what I read. They ARE already throttling anyone with an open VPN.. Sad days :(

  16. I hear a big company is already throttling anyone with VPN's I also stumbled upon a site that uses the regular HTTP transport layer to make something better than a VPN. You people ARE innovative!!

    Actually NOx emissions form, due to high air compression ratios with high temps. And diesel engines must have high air compression ratios to ignite the diesel vapor... In cars, smog is why they lowered the compression ratios after the early 1970's, They did this in gas powered vehicles, to reduce smog levels in the air from Nitrous Oxide emissions. And they lost horsepower.., It's very true that they now discovered diesel fumes can even effect the minds and mood.. And the soot is very carcinogenic. (Gasoline isn't a winner in cancer either. Poorly kept ones, stink with raw unburnt gasoline too.) Once in a blue moon, I too, drive behind a clean diesel car or bus. But If the: injectors, fuel pump, or governor go bad it starts to smell bad, or even visibly smoke. Even compression loss can cause this due to lower temperatures causing incomplete combustion. I don't know if they still do it. But some truckers used to run filtered, used, motor oil in their vehicles. And that stuff reeks! (Diesels are more powerful because diesel oil is more energy dense than gasoline.)
