    Reality testing

    I have been listening and watching Trump describe the dystopian state of the USA, migrants are taking over whole villages and towns, the economy is in a shambles, etc. Well, to assess the amount of rampant crime in my area I drove around Austin and some suburbs and did not see any crime or hear...

    He still does not understand

    Please, enlighten me. I keep hearing the term "They", but never identified. Is it anyone that does not agree with Trump? Enquiring minds want to know.

    Interesting artical about what government can and can't do. It's a bit longish, but worth the read.

    Doc, I agree with you for the most part. But some cannot help the consequences that they are in. I realize that there are those that game the system, but should we punish the true needy to stop those that cheat?

    Interesting artical about what government can and can't do. It's a bit longish, but worth the read.

    Steve, there are some on welfare, and other less poor people that do pay taxes. There are gradations of wealth. I assume that you do not subscribe to the Christian concept of "my brothers keeper". Don't you think the super rich should pay some more in taxes? What about the sick and infirm...

    Interesting artical about what government can and can't do. It's a bit longish, but worth the read.

    Against nihilism We live in a time of cynicism about what government can accomplish. Most Americans say they don’t have much trust in Washington, regardless of which party is in charge. Even when the federal government sets out to do something that Americans support, many wonder whether it can...

    Who is this mysterious "they" entity, specifically. Or is it some secret cabal that dresses in robes, and has mastered mind control.

    extremely sophisticated scamming software

    Yes, I got the same kind of call. Only that they said they were from Microsoft and that a dangerous virus was infectng my machine, and he wanted to have acces to my PC so he could determine the extent of the virous. I asked what he would be looking at, and for him to walke through the process...

    He still does not understand

    I, or none of my friends blame Biden or Harris, so that is not everyone. Pat,once again you do not answer the question asked. Once again I ask, who pays the tarrifs, the exporter, as Trump claims, or does the importer pay then pass that cost on to us, the consumers. I know for certain that it...

    He still does not understand

    I am not obsessing. Just trying to point out his lack of understanding on that, and other issues, and reading answers that have nothing to do with the original question. I find that part amusing and interesting. Getting ready for dinner. Later

    He still does not understand

    Just as I thought, another deflection. Please tell me why Trump thinks the exporting country to the USA pays the tarrif. I heard him say so a couple of days ago. Could it be that he does not understand? Sure seems like it.

    He still does not understand

    So, in order to keep companies from going over seas then we must deal with higher prices? You still have not explained how, in your mind, that tarrfs work. I am not talking about the long term, strategic vision, Trump says we will take in millions from tarrifs, which is a lie and not true...

    He still does not understand

    Then,tell me how tarrifs work, as far as who pays for the tarrif. In real life the importer pays the tarrif then passes it along to the consumer. That is how they really work, so if The Donald raises tarrifs then your prices will go up. 25% of all cars made in America use foreign parts...

    He still does not understand

    Saw a clip from an intervbiew and DJT still claims that tarrifs aare paid by the exporting country, and that we will make millions on tarrifs. He lives in his own dream world. Please, don't give me a whatabout Biden retort. I am taking about Trump and his lack of understanding. Why won't he...

    Controlling the weather

    Doc. Pat inferred, in one of her rants, that tall buildings have something to do with weather or climate. Other than what they emit, tall buildings do not have anything to do with creating or changing the weather. Gradiant wind level is 2,000 feet above the topography. Mountans have infuence...

    I need help understanding

    There is difference between ambition and what Trump has. He is the victim in chief, everyone is out to get him. Look at the number of Republicans that worked close to him and state the he is not fit for the job. He denegrates people, and has ruined lives of people that have worked for him. I...

    Philosophy - what is yours?

    Yes I do. I too was/sorta is, a musician. I studied classical guitar right up to the point where I realized I would never be really good at it. Then I bought an electric guitar and ended up playing in a few bands. The last band ranged fron 4 to 9 pieces depending how much money was going to be...
