Not really though. Starlinkn doesn't scale up well. And it only makes sense in niche circumstances. And it is vulnerable. You could easily imagine a future president just taking it over for national safety reasons.

No way Musk goes back to self driving cars. Not enough power there. And he can't make it happen because he never created anything amazing. And everyone hates him because he's evil and also a Nazi.

The egg imports were not meant to reduce prices. That's not how that works, my friends. They were there because imports are/were competitive when local chickens die and there's a monopoly on the domestic industry that's already price gouging.

Some of them will get more power or money, though. They are not unified.

That depends what you mean by "well being". Tons of MAGA folk have voted for Republicans who are cutting the social services they depend on. Clearly that is self destructive, and they know it. Rural hospitals, food stamps, national pension, etc.

That is to say, your comment doesn't line up with reality. There must be something more going on in their heads.

It was said that the DOJ did that on their own. From inside sources, I think believable. But Biden didn't fight them.

I disagree. He was a great candidate and a shitty president. What was his crowning achievement? ACA? That failed in the medium run, as we all knew it would. Meh.

Did you try fielding a decent candidate? No. You brought pro genocide candidates. There's no logic to fix that, my friend. The DNC and RNC defend their funders, and third party voters understand this.

What are you asking? If you get fired, you go find a different job or go on strike.

The US needs to add long-term contracts to all jobs so this shit can't happen again, but most Americans don't seem to realize how US labor law is shit.

That whole time, Republicans couldn't get anything else done. Just imagine what Democrats could actually obstruct if more of them had the values and willpower to do so.

I'm working on a website for high school writing (in English). If you want to take a look, and possibly offer feedback, feel free.

 

Here's Ozzy Man's critical analysis of Johnny Howard the Prime Minister buying back guns and crushin' them ay. It may have some relevance to current American events.

 

WINDER, GA—In the hours following a violent rampage in Georgia in which a lone attacker killed at least four individuals and injured nine others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Wednesday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place...

 

Can you think of any titles from real journal articles or essays that are eye-catching?

I'm writing a document for high school students taking an English writing class, and rather than create my own examples, why not use real ones? Several of my students have expressed frustration, and I have some guidelines and brainstorming tools, but what I don't have are two dozen neat examples.

 

OSAKA – An American man known for streaming provocative videos has been arrested on suspicion of breaking into a construction site in Osaka, police said Friday.

Ramsey Khalid Ismael, 23, known as "Johnny Somali" on YouTube, was arrested with another American, Jeremiah Dwane Branch, 24, who says he is a university student, according to police.

Ismael's videos include those in which he makes light of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and makes racist comments about Japanese people.

The two men allegedly made an unauthorized entry into a hotel construction site in Osaka's Chuo Ward on Aug. 30 with Branch filming a masked Ismael at the scene, according to the police.

They have told police they will not speak until they see lawyers, police said.
