Why is the Republican party so afraid of the NRA? How much money can they donate and lobby? Why can't the anti-gun side mobilize and match the donation like 2~3 folds and dangle the money to the GOP to silence the NRA? Of course it's a gross oversimplification of the issues (NRA can go "mental" and threaten any Republican's families, etc. if I go all cynical), but money is a good start...

Ban assault rifle, raise the price of guns. the manufacturers still make as much money.

Amendment right? Well what about my right to own a nuclear baseball? Anthrax and Agent Orange? It isn't it my right to have them? Stop with the BS amendment right argument.

Here is the story of what happened https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-naperville-mobil-clerk-video-fired-st-0719-20190718-66teypxeajfrflkafhznhzao7m-story.html

Sure, but there is always an internal battle between "I can do this." and "I need help." Plus, this isn't just asking a passing stranger for a temporary assist, this is firing up some region's Search and Rescue apparatus. If I was still mobile and thought I could make it, wanting to press that button would give me pause.

Think mobile brothels and you are getting closer to some weirder scenarios that will play out.

Your video, Mobile Homes: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO), has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Two wheels are more mobile than 4 or 6. Tighter turning, zero point. Takes up less space.

That's fucking amazing. I bet there's a real niche market for some company to knock off a few of these - he put the plans online, so a ton of the work is done already.

I've always liked the idea of tiny houses, and this is even better since it's mobile and stealth.

Edit: the above was posted about 1/2 way through watching this. I can't even tell you how many times I thought "damn that's smart" during the video. Every single little touch is thought out perfectly. The airflow venting in particular struck me as an elegant, simple solution to a problem I wasn't even aware existed.

Sentry Mode adds a unique layer of protection to Tesla vehicles by continuously monitoring the environment around a car when it’s left unattended. When enabled, Sentry Mode enters a “Standby” state, like many home alarm systems, which uses the car’s external cameras to detect potential threats. If a minimal threat is detected, such as someone leaning on a car, Sentry Mode switches to an “Alert” state and displays a message on the touchscreen warning that its cameras are recording. If a more severe threat is detected, such as someone breaking a window, Sentry Mode switches to an “Alarm” state, which activates the car alarm, increases the brightness of the center display, and plays music at maximum volume from the car’s audio system.

If a car switches to “Alarm” state, owners will also receive an alert from their Tesla mobile app notifying them that an incident has occurred. They’ll be able to download a video recording of an incident (which begins 10 minutes prior to the time a threat was detected) by inserting a formatted USB drive into their car before they enable Sentry Mode.

Oh, my error.
Well, should I pull it?
I didn't see that on the mobile (small screen) I was using originally, but yes, on my laptop, there it is.

*promote some *quality tech, but that's a silly application.
Roll up screens are best used on mobile devices not ridiculous high end TV gimmicks, imo.
Show me the prototype iPhone 15 that is the size and weight of a fountain pen until you unroll it to full tablet size, or a laptop that rolls up to the size of a large cigar....then I'll feel like it's the future.

I agree....mostly.
My plan, for when I'm emperor, is one tax rate based on the budget that pays for everything in full (no deficit, and pay off the debt) and puts 2% in the bank yearly for future unforseen disasters, with a base deduction of whatever poverty level in your state is +100%, so people barely out of poverty pay nothing.
Whatever that number is should be applied across the board, no loopholes, no special tax rates for certain types of income, no extra exemptions, nothing.
Also, 100% tax on money hidden offshore to avoid taxation and use RICO on the church(s) to pay off most of the debt first.


Yes, there were many reasons why the job market was good in the 50's for white guys, most of which are unthinkable or impossible today. For instance, a single income household with one average salary could not only save, they could often have a continuously rising standard of living. There's no way today, even on two incomes most families are in debt and downwardly mobile.

I wish those wishing to return to the good old 50's would remember the top 1% proudly paid 92% in taxes back then as opposed to the often <25% they bemoan as draconian today, which went a long way towards paying for all the nice things they like to point to nostalgically and allow for upward mobility.
