So the Germans no longer find nuclear power dangerous? What changed their mind so quickly? “The German government has said that it considers nuclear energy dangerous and objects to European Union proposals that would let the technology remain part of the bloc’s plans for a climate-friendly future.“ https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2022/1/3/germany-calls-nuclear-power-dangerous-rejects-eu-plan

Well, 83% of Americans disagree with you, but you keep thinking that lol. https://news.gallup.com/poll/398963/economic-confidence-improving-weak.aspx

I don’t care about other countries, I care about our own. So if you think this economy is good/strong compared to recent previous years, then we’ll just have to disagree on that one.

Just so we understand you correctly, are you making the argument that the US economy is strong/in good shape right now?

There are teachers’ unions in SC.

There aren’t teachers’ unions in South Carolina?

But if you’re 5 and want to take drugs and/or have surgery to change your gender, the left it cool with that…

Dude, it’s literally 2022…the confederacy ended over 157 years ago. And below is the map that Carter won in 1980 and Bill Clinton won in 1996. Make a better argument.

Because it never gets old…though I’m sure some are offended because of, well, stuff.

So what you’re saying is that you want AOC to lead the country… I’m tracking ya…

Just a couple months ago progressives weren’t so supportive of the “rule of law” when SCOTUS overturned Roe and told states that citizens can can carry firearms outside of their homes.

This I’ll be worried when they’re worried.

If you haven’t seen the show “Severance” on Apple TV, I highly recommend it….soooo good. We’re about halfway through, so please no spoilers!

Well, they didn’t do this in the past ($25K to $35K), so yeah, I doubt they would do it this time. Your greatest voice is hitting the separate/retirement button…everything else is as effective as “hope and change”.

Wrong Choice!

FIFY

Does this mean I’ll have to hang out at Chilies like the rest of the peasants?

Really? Care to guess what it will be? Damn near anything is possible, but I just don’t see it happening, at least definitely not that soon. That all being said, if it did happen it would make for one interesting year!

It an interesting topic for sure. What’s your proposed timeline before we start seeing something substantial different than the status quo…ie, the CCP makes radical changes (or is overthrown?), China invades Taiwan, their economy goes into a depression, etc?

“Make for a good copy”?…the one I just shared is not a one off. This is seen across many businesses, the entertainment industry, the sports industry, the White House having to correct (or “clarify”) what the President says regarding Taiwan…on and on. While trade is being expanded to other countries compared to 10-20 years ago, that doesn’t mean that many interests in the US are changing their policies of not wanting to upset the CCP…I would actually argue that going above and beyond to ensure the CCP is not upset is overall increasing compared to 20 years ago. And it’s not “frustrating”, rather it just shows pure hypocrisy of those who subscribe to it. And it also shows that in the end…it’s all about $$$ not “human rights”, “women’s rights”, shall I keep going?

Not going to happen anytime soon…businesses are afraid to even call Taiwan a country for fear that they’ll upset the CCP and in turn could hurt their sales. Here’s one of the latest: “Mars Wrigley apologizes to China over Snickers ad that called Taiwan a country” https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/mars-wrigley-apologizes-china-snickers-ad-called-taiwan-country.amp

Interesting—thanks for sharing. My thoughts are that the CCP isn’t going anywhere anytime soon (meaning the next 5-10 years at least). As for the tensions with Taiwan, the country has always been China’s for the taking…just depends on what resources they’re willing to expend and what backlash from the international community they’re willing to receive. But let’s not pretend that we’re willing to go to war with China over Taiwan, nor should we. As for the economic part, do we really want to stop trading with our largest trade partner (3rd for our exports going there, 1st for their imports coming here)? Yeah, let’s further destroy our economy. I do think it’s hilarious that the left tells us that climate change is our greatest national threat and yet we’re not tough at all on China to reduce their emissions.

Ugh…I’d much rather just take a relatively easy fitness test once a year (worst case twice a year) than be required to wear an electronic device every day(?) for an entire year tracking what I am/am not doing according to the Air Force’s liking. But that’s just me.

While I don’t disagree agree with you, there is one minor point you’re missing: The left can’t meme lol. So even though I’m much more biased when it comes to libertarian philosophies/opinions…their memes are also often more entertaining. https://unherd.com/2021/08/why-the-left-cant-meme/ Edited to clarify: While I don’t *disagree* agree with you…
