Where we to go to war with China over Taiwan, from where would we get our pharmaceuticals with which to treat our troops?
What are we to do, put in early orders ? The same applies on a lesser extent to everything from nuts and bolts to frigging paper-clips
and staples ?
A generation ago, Americans cared about keeping domestic base of production at home.
can't make anything here now that the average American will pay for. addicted to cheap Asian-made shit...Hello, WalMart! looking at YOU, assholes...

there's a great twitter account that tracks the private jet of elon musk. elon of course tried to buy the person off and get the account shut down (free speech warrior by the way).

apparently it's run by a teenager who's been offered a couple thousand bucks by Elon to take it down lol.

there will be no "meaningful reform" on ANYTHING as long as corporations can dump as much cash into political causes with no controls...Citizens United, what a fucking disaster...

i'm sure the kid would quit tracking him...IF Elon would make it worth his while. don't like attention? no problem, but privacy aint cheap (maybe not possible, lol) for a publicity seeking billionaire. pay the kid off, you got the money! cheap bastard...:biggrin:

They spent years and a fortune to stack the court.
The potential for remedy remains within congress.

but is the will to do the right thing there? esp considering how many in Congress seemingly are okay with the way things are? if Democrats were in charge of the Senate with a filibuster-proof majority, THEN the GOP would want change, but not while they have the steering wheel. rest assured, if the GOP was in the position that the Ds are right now, they would have already done away with the filibuster, and to hell with the future. never listen to what McConnell says, watch what he does...
