I wonder if someone has tested Elon’s security and it just didn’t get reported. Maybe he is feeling kinship with trump that way. I honestly wonder if they could keep such a thing out of the press. And would he even try to?

I’m sorry, I consider “introducing” a bill nothing more than talk. And I should have specified at the federal level. State level dems and even Republicans do sometimes accomplish things for the greater good.

You do realize there is a similarity between “hating Trump because he’s a fraudulent criminal and hating everyone who isn’t a white Christian” right? It’s hate. And more importantly it is a way to rally people to your side without having to promise to accomplish anything that would move the country forward.

I just don’t like soap operas, whatever the form. My kid does though.

I could only wish to be so oblivious. :)

I do like 0 as freezing. We should have a new one where 0 is 0C, and 100 is 100F. Or maybe 1000 is 100F so I can get my extra resolution without decimals

Most democrats run on not being trump. I consider that running on hate. But I could understand if others don’t. As for the border bill… they only floated that because 1… they were pretty sure the Republicans wouldn’t want to give them a win. And 2… they were trying to woo conservative voters to vote for Biden. It was a win win stunt that they wouldn’t have done if the election wasn’t close.

Nice vid. He isn’t wrong. Though maybe we could come up with a compromise temperature scale for everyone to use. Even 100 F isn’t as uncommon as it used to be. But I would love to have more granularity without decimals.

In fairness, that isn’t just America. It’s kind of a male thing. Lol

Yeah, but you can’t argue that adding a whole digit doesn’t make it seem bigger. And take a kid who doesn’t yet know either system. They for sure will think 107 is hotter then 41. That said, I wish everywhere that gave a temp in the US would give both so I could get a better sense of Celsius. Most apps and such let you choose one or the other, but not both.

They talk about it sometimes. But never do anything. And more importantly, it doesn’t even make Americans top ten. I don’t have much faith in politicians doing anything about it until it is in the top 5. https://news.gallup.com/poll/642887/inflation-immigration-rank-among-top-issue-concerns.aspx

We don’t have bipartisan ideas anymore. Both sides run on hate for their opponent. So they can’t be seen as working with them.

This is the real takeaway. The Republicans want to do nothing, and the dems want a quick fix in gun control. Neither addresses the root of the problem. The world as a whole needs to invest more in social services, education, and public health. It should be where the majority of money goes really.
