I’ve talked to a lot of different people about this. People in different states, ages, professions, etc. Pretty much the main thing that keeps people from voting is that no one feels represented by either party. And for some people, they haven’t felt represented their whole lives.

Also the whole voting is patriotic thing is kind of bullshit at this point. No one that I know personally thinks of voting as a super important thing that everyone should be proud of. That’s just a media thing.

“If we want to get serious about housing affordability, why not ban Blackstone, one of the largest donors to both parties, from buying up entire neighborhoods and forcing us to rent from them? If we are serious about housing, why not remove the 55 million people here on immigration visas who occupy homes that could go to Americans who have worked, fought, and bled for this country?” he wrote on X.

He was so close, had it going so well, and then decided to say some stupid shit that just ruins his argument.

I don’t know if this is a regional only thing but there are brick and mortar restaurant supply stores. You usually need a membership to buy from them but you can bulk buy the same food and supplies that restaurants buy.

Interesting those numbers have largely not changed in 40 years. Honestly I was guessing that we needed way more ATCs since the strike because air traffic has increased so much since then. Do you happen to know why the need for ATCs hasn’t really changed?

I think when Reagan fired all the ATCs, they were temporarily replaced with military trained ones until they could hire and train replacements. But that was a time when there was significantly less air travel and less ATCs than we have and need now.

So maybe they might have the military take over some positions? There’s no way they could fill every single airport and I doubt that they even have the same training and skill set as commercial ATCs.

But having a military take over of airports is the kind of dictator move that probably makes someone like trump salivate.

I think the surprise here is that WiFi routers were not built with surveillance hardware in mind. At least at first.

If there was an option to buy a router with surveillance sonar vs a router without sonar, I’m sure most people would buy the one without the surveillance hardware. But unfortunately it doesn’t seem like anyone has that option if they want to use WiFi.
