Isnt it still kind of weird when you turn over a rock and there is one of those 'newsmax/OANN/Bannon/Tucker' whack jobs, TOTALLY down the rabbit hole. About as pilled as they come. This guy still thinks there is something coming out of the AZ audit.?? and 'others'?!? OMG, I mean seriously. TBH, this dude felt like a hair-triggered, anti-social type over in the (regular) car forums in prior interactions..... but then he comes here and -boom- there you go! Proves it. (I will add, that I can get a bit ranty here and let the bile rise a bit (and kudos to those from both sides that seem to avoid that)...but you see this kind of nuttiness and the idea that we can work our way forward seems a very distant and depressing dream...) |

NPR’s Throughline this past Sunday had a Podcast that talked about “ what happened after civilization collapsed”
It was a good piece on the end of the Bronze Age and what might have caused its demise. History is full of civilizations that thrived and then later collapsed. I like to think that we’ve come far enough to have learned the lessons from these past failures and improved as a whole. But looking at these last couple of years, I can only say, no this doesn’t happen in America. But it does, and I don’t think we’ve improved from the Bronze Age all that much. Surr, we have more advanced technology. But we are still suffering from all the usual woes that our ancestors faced thousands of years ago.

I don't think anything that happens in the MMA supports any opinion relating to transgender sports because of its uniqueness. I am not saying transgender sports will not be a problem as IMO it would be speculation either way. In addition, even if we accept the MMA fights as proof it is not a big enough sample size from which to draw a statistically accurate conclusion. And there has been no indication the current white house order will be expanded.

“In 2019, about 2,500 men, almost one-third of the total number of men competing worldwide in the IAAF 100-meter event, beat the fastest women’s time. Without segregation, it’s not just that men would win — women would never even qualify for the competitions in the first place.”*Harvard biologist Carole Hooven

The past administration set the perception and behavior of the US back decades. Confrontation and lies are not just OK but THE way to address differences and disagreement. We are divided with such entrenchment that there is seldom any listening.
It would be one thing if we were divided based on different opinions within the facts but so much is based on declaring something is factual when it is clearly not. There are many instances where the gap is just for the sake of disagreeing, just because it is the other party. Self destructive behavior is put on display for the world to see by avid fans of the parties and individuals in congress. We fail to recognize that we have freedom until it infringes on the freedom of others and the way to lose our freedom is to erode the best of a democracy.

New topic- same thread
The price of gas and inflation are worldwide problems. Covid ripped economies apart so much so that when things started to get better there was pent up demand. Supply chains were not good enough to timely fix the problem. FYI, in many countries the price of gas and percent of inflation are as high or higher than in the US. Fuel prices have increased in part because of an inflated price per barrel of oil. There are thousands of approved oil leases that have not been activated for drilling in the US. It's unlikely they will be utilized. Overseas suppliers set the price of oil by controlling production. They have the capacity to increase production which would lower the price of gas over time but have not done so thus far. Many US companies are showing improvements in profit margins. It very unlikely it is because of cost reductions. Most likely it is because of increasing prices more than the inflation of their cost of goods. I think the way Covid was collectively handled around the world is the culprit. That doesn't mean it should have been handled differently anywhere. Because of the how long the inflation equation takes to reach the general public it takes a considerable amount of time to ease. it is never a quick fix. I don't think anybody knows for sure, regardless of their expertise, how much of the 'blame' should go to Trump or Biden. It takes a long time for all pieces to fall in place to be where we are.

I was being nice to those that still think the election was stolen from Trump.
