If we want more home-grown American engineers, maybe we should make the cost of higher education something less than $200,000 at 8% interest?
Maybe more 18-year-olds would pursue these arduous paths if they were tuition free?
Oh, no? That’s communism? Ok then 👍

Not my ideal form of government when a rich unelected bureaucrat can buy himself the power Elon now has.
Seems bad that we’ve entered the phase of political finance corruption where billionaire industrialists openly behave like they’ve just purchased the powers of the Executive for themselves.

it’s funny to think we used to be taught that western powers didn’t stop the holocaust for so long because “they didn’t know” how bad it was, and not because everyone was a horrible little isolationist dipshit

A lot of people responsible for poor decisions are on a press tour right now because if they didn’t, people would rightfully be questioning THEIR leadership and they know it.
It’s weak even by normal left-punching standards. Zero evidence more Liz Cheney would have won this. The opposite, actually.

First quote in this new @politico.com story is from RI's Dem committeeman Joe Paolino: "The progressive wing of the party has to recognize — we all have to recognize — the country’s not progressive, and not to the far left or the far right. They’re in the middle” www.politico.com/news/2024/11...

Here is a sampling of the hundreds of replies I received to a *single* post I made about canvassing for Harris.
This isn’t “debate,” and it’s all allowed under X’s ToS. Why would any normal person subject themselves to this rabid hatred?
It’s not a mystery why sane people don’t want to be on X –

We left X and joined Bluesky because those against our parks said, “If you don’t like it, leave.” So we did. And now they’re saying, “No, come back so we can say mean things to you—it makes us feel important.”
