Problem: America has a housing crisis -- homelessness, lack of affordable housing, prices going through the roof. Why do we allow foreign money/influence to buy up housing stock and worsen the problem? Proposition: It is people who need housing, not corporations, Therefore, if it is an actual first-...

I don't recall seeing mention of it here but I highly recommend a voice of sanity: "Politics Girl". Find her on YouTube.

Robert Pollin and Noam Chomsky share their insights about the upcoming global climate summit and what must ultimately be done to save humanity and the planet from a global climate catastrophe. By Jared Rodriguez of Truthout They ask questions and offer answers. It's a long read. https://truthout.org...

A friend was there and sent a link to a live stream camera that helped bring it all back for me. Then, I think it was Friday into Saturday, I woke from sleep for a pit stop and thought to see what was happening on playa. Heavy partying. At 2:55 a.m. a white car drove into view and stopped. A woman g...

Yeah, right? I was hoping for more but ya take what ya get. Anyway, thanks for offering a solution. I'm sure you have more in you.

PROBLEM:
My friends came over to help me with something, all meaning well, but they got in a fight and we ended not getting anything done.

SOLUTION (via my mother, 65 years ago):
Have each one give the other a hug, apologize for getting upset, and get back to the task at hand.

I write this out of a deep concern for our collective future. We have come to crisis. Anxiety and depression run deep among us. People yearn for progress on many fronts yet see little to nothing being done. And a third of Americans have either lost their minds or are making a lot of money. Frankly, ...

Our soon-to-be ex-president will now have TWO asterisks after his name.

This one's for you, golden boy. Oh, that soulful, crying guitar...

My favorite quote from last night's debate:
[trump]: "Don't ever use the word 'smart' with me!"

It seems to me Trump has done a good job with COVID. How you might ask? Think how much worse it would have been under a Biden presidency : 1) He said he would never have instituted a travel ban, calling it xenophobic and bigoted; 2) we would be further behind in testing for a vaccine because a Demo...

I have a feeling this may be one of the best burns in years if covid keeps away the jocks and socialites.

My brother wrote to ask what I thought of the impeachment hearings. This was my response. Feel free to crib my words if it comes up in your conversations. --- It appears that mr. trump had an idea in his head to try using both money and the promise of a White House visit as leverage to have Ukraine ...

A few years ago I decided to learn how to make clothes, considering it might be a good "sit-down" hobby for me. Naturally, I began to notice how clothes fit and move on the body. Today, checking out the news on the Washington Post site, I watched a live feed of mr. trump talking to reporters. I noti...

Well duh, there are no reasons to give them to the poor and unemployed . As both JFK and Bill Clinton, as well as Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, have shown, that as long as the tax breaks go to those companies that actually increase revenue through more employment and the benefits that come with t...

"50,000 people max. 25,000 vehicles passes. No outside services. No commercial bus or air. Make it Hard to go.
Shut down the cell towers."

I am 100% with Luigi on this.

Instead of wet naps, the best thing I've used is a small spray bottle of pure (cheap) vodka and a bit of TP for a wipe. It cleans immediately.

"DO NOT TOUCH" must be the scariest thing to read in braille.

Thank you, Retropsycho.

Thanks for all the input. According to Mr. Google, a degree of latitude (at 38 deg.) is equal to 364,000 feet. Using Canoe's coordinates, the difference in latitude between 2016 and 2017 amounts to about 450 feet -- close enough to not significantly be a problem, given the size of the gnomon. I will...

Am making a sundial for the burn. Does anyone know the exact latitude of the man this year?

What does the State Department have to do with it? You're saying Tillerson is responsible?

It was fun. I took it twice!

Everything you do -- whether you realize it or not -- makes a difference. It all matters, whether you come or you go, turn right or turn left, it changes the future. Whether you choose for yourself or have things chosen for you, it will change the course of history.
