it's honestly an insult to Dick Cheney's months of intelligence and media manipulation for Trump to just do this. Nobody wants to work anymore.

The security reason to electrify transport is not about oil imports, it’s economic resilience. Oil powers 90% of US vehicles, so when the price of oil spikes because of a war, people & companies pay more for energy, which hurts the economy. The more transport is electrified, econ security goes up.

Make memories because it all slips away far too soon.
No one turns 80 and says “remember that time we watched TV on a Saturday night?”

Ok, maybe the Beck part of the band.

prepare for people insisting you're not "creative" or you could be MORE "creative" with drugs.
I've just decided to tell people I'm always on acid. That shuts them up or at least they back away. which is the prefered reaction.
