Signal-gate is what happens when you put small people in really big jobs.

Isn’t polstar a spin off from Volvo that the Chinese bought?

I read good things about Rivian and Lucid (?). I also just saw that Mercedes had a new EV sedan that get 475ish on a charge. That’s crazy. I live in hurricane alley though and travel too much to worry about my wife hurrivacing in an electric car.

The Saudis bought some Euro fighters, didnt they? That and the Rafael are two excellent 4th to 4.5 gen fighters our allies can buy to bridge the gap to a more friendly future.

What frustrates me currently is the idea that we the victims somehow in our political, economic and defense relationships with Europe, et al. Since when does the United need to be compensated for supporting allies whose lands and people will be ravaged by any war we have with Russia, or for supporting democracy in places like the Ukraine.

Our grandfathers and their fathers are rolling over. The gop and maga zealots accuse everyone else of hating America. Ironically I feel that it’s the angry, wealthy, white gop politicians that hate the America their forefathers built to keep them at the top of the pile.
