And check out the used market too. I picked up a Chevy Volt a few months back for under $20k and it is an amazing vehicle. I don’t know why they stopped making them.

“They blame Trump”

No, they didn’t. The medical facility didn’t blame trump, the article didn’t blame trump, and there’s no proof that any of the citizens blame trump.

This is actually what the article says:

Curtis Medical Center to close after 30 years, citing inflation and uncertain federal funding

And then, later in the article it mentions how there’s supposedly $50 billion coming from the feds to assist rural providers, and how disappointing it is that they’ve made this decision before the federal aid has been finalized.

This is being portrayed as a business decision to close this town’s only healthcare facility. Anyone reading the article would have to believe that trump has anything to do with inflation or cutting funding, and a community that has over 85% of their people voting for trump doesn’t believe that.

And the fact that the US dollar is the basis for most economies.

In fact, a new UN wouldn’t even be necessary, instead everyone would just have to stop recognizing the veto powers of any country. But, again, that comes with other consequence.

You find a generator, or solar panels, or wind mill, or water turbine, or a bicycle hooked up to a generator.

If electricity permanently goes out then we’re in a scavenger situation and it is time to start taking apart things that are no longer necessary to build the things that are.

The US isn’t part of the ICC and has veto power in the UN. The US is quite literally above the law and there isn’t anything anyone can really do about it.

That’s all the economy is right now, just pumping it up, shorting, then trump announces something to crash the markets, those in on the grift make bank, then trump backs out and the market recovers. Wait 4 weeks and do it again.

You need to read The Sphinx by Edgar Allen Poe.

It’s about a man staying in the country when he sees this gigantic monster off in the distance from his bedroom window. He freaks out about it and becomes paranoid.

Turns out it was a moth on the window. That’s what this looks like too.

Turn out your lamps Lemmy or the moths will return!

A study performed by one of the most esteemed schools in the world shows that people are dying needlessly due to this practice… and this is going to be the last we hear about it. There’s no one who has the power to fix this willing to try.

As others have mentioned, it’s not really anything I even think about any more. The other day I bought Microsoft Flight Simulator 40th Anniversary, installed it and was playing it before I even thought that I should have checked for compatibility first.

The biggest question is deciding which OS you want to install… I went with Nobara because it already had all of the dependencies needed for Steam, but it is not the only distro that comes ‘Steam ready’.

I really enjoy his books, but the past couple of nonfiction books of his just feel like they are repeating themselves… and I haven’t read this one yet, but it looks like it is more of the same.

Don’t get me wrong, I think this is important information that everyone needs to hear… but I feel so disappointed after each one knowing that there really isn’t a solution to the problem. Each book just seems to be restating the issue.

This study is from 2015.

Right?

I think it still holds true that the ‘enemy of my enemy’ is my enemy’s enemy. No need to seek alignment where it isn’t needed.

The one guy who was actually identifying himself as ICE did go to grab his gun at one time, but thought better of it.

I got into brewing in the early 2000s and loved it. Made some great recipes and always had a good selection of beer on hand. Then microbreweries started popping up everywhere, it was great … until I realized that I could buy a keg from a local brewery cheaper than I could brew it. And I didn’t have to do all the cleaning.

No regrets. I still have the skill and equipment, so if I want or need to brew my own I can, and it gives me time to pursue other hobbies.

My brother-in-law has a POW / MIA license plate. He lets people know that he was a POW in the War on Drugs.

Photos and video are absolutely needed before most people are going to care about this. Words on a screen are too easy to ignore.

Southern Florida shows us that the only way to defeat them is with alligators.

“We know how to take them out, General. Spread the word.”

I’m not sure this would fix much…

Can we start referring to him as “U.S. Secretary of War, MAJOR Hegseth”?

Keep it in people’s faces that we have a Secretary of WAR… and the person running it is a Major.
