In the heart of Cajun country Louisiana there are AM stations that still broadcast in French and play Cajun music. The range isn't that far, maybe 20 miles but I often put it on passing through to get into the Cajun vibe. Unfortunately I'm in a small bag of people who appreciate the rural flavor of AM.

The Paris Climate Agreements never addresses nuclear in France which last time I checked was around 70% of their energy. Obviously something is very backwards with the setting of these agreements. Everyone knows nuclear is our best option right now except advocates for wind and solar since they lose money. It should be the Paris Nuclear Agreements end of the day...meh.

Said every ancient collapsed civilization.

True. I recently inherited a small 2016 truck. It's so stripped down my nephew didn't know what the crank was on the door. He had never seen a manual window crank ha! It does however have one nice feature; bluetooth. I could easily afford a nice car but this little truck is perfect. I don't drive that much so I could see having it the rest of my days barring gasoline is still made. I have no desire for a new car.

Wouldn't worry about it. Congress isn't worried about it either. If they were we would not be in this situation for the uptienth time. Enjoying life, tending to my own circumstances just like they do.

Simply enough. Doing it in real time not so much. Most people will panic even with training including myself being an old Marine. I know what to do but if my spouse gets hit I have less than a second to decide what to do; help my spouse and likely also get hit, go for the shooter or keep running. Add to it people yelling and screaming, kids crying and blood everywhere.

Global domination is really really expensive. Everyone who has tried it eventually throws in the towel.

Getting feelings hurt is not a crime. Harming people physically or financially is a crime. GAB isn't harming anyone. I don't like GAB but end of the day just because I don't like something banning them entirely is a form of evil. They have a right to exist. Most don't like them. They will never be a massive force of reason. Let it go because it's not going anywhere.

I disagree. There is an episode of King of The Hill that mocks the KKK. You know what the KKK did? NOTHING. They didn't say a word. They didn't say a word because their numbers are very weak. It is a joke at this point. The episode actually used the KKK as actual jokes in Bobby's skit. Think about that for a minute. It went from feared to a joke in a cartoon show and nobody said a word because they are a joke.

I abhor all banning and blocking from any source. It is an effrontery to getting to the truth and used as a weapon to shield wrongdoing. I don't like the message of the KKK for example but so what. Their numbers were declining without any censoring online...meh. The people can figure this out. We can't figure it out though banning people who might help us figure things out that's for sure.

Spiral notebook also works well and neat seeing all your progress on all them pages.

What happens to climate science grants that don't produce the data the buyer wants? What is a climate scientist to do if they lose their grant? The one I know got into a new line of work since they refused to lie. Unfortunately this is not always the case.

60% of employment in 1940 was not a role that existed in 2023. To include the mechanic who fixes the bowling ball re-setting machine who took so many jobs from kids..meh.

Pathetic when you point out the danger of 50 people lying about data and getting busted for lying only to get downvoted..meh. So is the world we live in. It's fine up until the point however people are lying about your own personal court case. At that point the rule of law means something again.

It can work for a couple of years if you manage to get 50 former intel agents to sign off on it as fake. That only last for a couple years though. Eventually it's smoked out that the intel agents were lying.

It's not excusable. It's horrible but no more horrible than the rest of the child exploitation globally to make the stuff we want which is not possible without....child labor. It is a simple fact of the matter. Point fingers but my stuff and your stuff is made with child labor. No way around it. It is the way the world works. Break it and the stuff starts getting really really expensive. I'm ok with that but only because I have the the coin to pay for it. Not the case for everyone else. They want the stuff. And cheap. Solution? Nobody has one.

I guess we could get rid of Clarence if true but it would not end. Justice Sonia Sotomayor didn’t recuse herself from cases involving a publisher that paid her $3M. Where does it end? HINT: It won't end because they all do this stuff. They are not settling for a measly SCOTUS salary that's for damn sure:

Child cobalt mining is far worse than McDonalds no? We could not have laptops, cell phones, EVs, solar panels and nike shoes without child labor unfortunately. Down vote me a billion times but this is the reality of the world we live in. Child labor is worse than any moment in human history but as Julius Caesar said, “Men are nearly always willing to believe what they wish”.

The military will not only pay for college but also advanced degrees. Even payback prior school debt. End of the day I as a parent or a taxpayer don't owe anyone a college education. Nobody paid for mine and I turned out exceptional through get this....the work ethics I learned in the USMC. How about that!

The child can join any branch of the military reserves to pay for college to include the Coast Guard.

Reserves pay for college. Stop spoiling kids rotten. They will appreciate it later.

Tenet declared WMD in Iraq was a slam dunk. I don't know what evidence he presented but my military source in Iraq told me the chemical weapons they found and disposed of had US nomenclature which would make sense since we were helping Iraq deal with Iran in the 80's:

"According to Iraqi documents, assistance in the development of chemical weapons was obtained from firms in many countries, including the United States, West Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and France. A report stated that Dutch, Australian, Italian, French and both West and East German companies were involved in the export of raw materials to Iraqi chemical weapons factories.."

End of the day the CIA operates way outside the lines on the field. Like not even inside the stadium. Tenet and his counterpart however did end up resigning for a series of screw ups which is about as far as it goes on that level.

Hawaiian Reparations must get in line behind Cajun Reparations I think?

"In conclusion, everything we do is destroying the planet!"

US Virgin Islands House rep in Congress is Stacey Plaskett (D). She can only serve on committees but I'm sure she is doing all she can with her influence to notify Mr Page...meh.

On April 13, 2023, Plaskett sent a letter to journalist Matt Taibbi threatening him with prison time. Maybe she does the same for Page?

Use your feet and your coin. I refuse to live in a city or work for a company that supports uncommon stupidity of allowing drug abuse, homelessness due to the drug abuse and crime also due to drug abuse to do whatever they want. I will leave and have left and would do it again and again. If they support this stuff let them loose talent and fail. I started my own business and doing fine. Start your own stuff and create circumstances YOU want. Not any harder than that but it is not easy to do so.

Could be the start of something but make no mistake, no country or countries combined can replace China's labor. Impossible. Big things however start from small beginnings.

Only if they are the best qualified. Send a couple of skanky lazy women and the mission will fail.

I'm an old Marine but even I would not go into a store in SF.

No. Shut it down. People are by an large ignorant. They will ruin society voting for things unearned and over power rational minds. Shut it down and create a voting system where the needy have almost no input. The needy will destroy any civilization if given the means. Kill it. I know I will get many down votes but that is fine. Either kill it or it will destroy everything. Want everything destroyed then go right ahead.
