Oh boy I know what I would do.

Workout, fish, golf, volunteer, garden, housework, lunch with kids.

I'd be sooo happy.
I agree with this!
More options make for the best free market economies!!
The problem with the auto industry is that they are only considering the US market. The rest of the world wants EVs and China is happy to provide.

If Detroit doesn't make EVs a priority, it will no longer be the world's car maker. China is innovating and looking to the future, not backwards.

At the end of the day, most people don't care how their car is powered. They want affordability and reliability. If domestic EVs can provide this, people will buy.

This.

I also agree with the go to church post, mainly because of the benefit of community and socialization it provides.

Social media is just exposing the cancer that has always been present.

You wouldn’t blame the doctor for diagnosing a tumor that already existed. So don’t blame social media for problems that already existed.


Disagree.

The potential for attention and profit is because of the platform.
Social media is changing people who seek attention and money.
Which is everyone

They are likely struggling, but we have under estimated their ability to do so.

Not too familiar with the subject, but it sounds like meditation training that practices refocusing your mind on what you can touch, see, feel and hear (what is real), would be beneficial.

Boise is doing it right

quote:

In 2021, 81% of Boise voters approved a $570 million “clean water and climate action bond,” McLean said, and last year just over 80% said yes to an $11 million levy to fund parks, open space, clean water initiative and wildfire restoration projects. In addition, the city is building all-electric police and fire stations and electrifying older municipal buildings, she said.

None of us really knows what happened or will happen. And it's only been 60 days and is not over. The ramifications for America, however, will be broad and long lasting. Those claiming loss, or want to bet against Trump, make yourself & your bets known - I want & will take them all!


lol. Sounds like you know what’s happening.
Only thing happening are lies from Trump.
“Total annihilation”
“Begging for a deal”
“A few days”
“Bombing to the Stone Age”

Weeks later, none of it. And you guys lap it up.
Only need to read the headline to see that your source may have a political agenda

Their leadership didn’t cancel some well engineered, brilliant, one of a kind restoration projects with countless benefits because of politics. We had a chance to follow their lead and blew it.

Strong disagreement there, but to your other point, we will always have the MS river for potential land building, if we can us it properly.

bullshite. When I was in elementary school in the 1970s we all heard how New Orleans would be underwater in 50 years.


It’s pretty easy to see, using your eyes, that the ocean is getting closer to New Orleans. Do you think this is going to reverse somehow? Gov Landry cancelled the projects that might at least give it some band aids
The Gulf will someday overwhelm coastal Louisiana. Planning should start now, study says.

From Nola.com

“A new study finds the Gulf once reached what is now the northshore, and warns it could return there in the coming centuries.

“They are saying out loud the things that no one wants to say,” A.R. Siders, an associate professor at the University of Delaware who studies how people are adapting to climate change, said of the study’s authors. “No one wants to say New Orleans won’t be there in 200 years.” Siders reviewed the paper but was not involved with the study.

The argument isn’t entirely new, and Törnqvist has been warning about New Orleans' long-term future for years. In a 2020 paper, he wrote that Louisiana's wetlands had crossed a tipping point and that the eventual shoreline would likely settle near the Baton Rouge Fault, a geological line where land to the south sinks faster than land to the north.
