mereo@lemmy.ca is correct. We’ll never fix anything in the US. I used to be hopefulbut there’s just now ay as long as people buy into the BS conservatives sell.

That’s an advantage of a high volume car like a Camry.

Most public transit in my state goes where you don’t want to go and takes 3 times as long to get there. I remember a while back when the tax renewal came up there was a story in the local paper about a woman who was using the bus to get to work and it took 2 hours for what was a 15 minute drive even in traffic.

Hopefully you won’t run into the problem I had with my older car- parts availability. It’s only going to get worse as cars get older. Especially with the electronics.

Probably defense cross examination

Agreed. M is definitely the sweet spot for tech right now.

I’ve never heard of pigeon management but I have heard something similar described as playing chess with a pigeon as someone who “knocks all the pieces over, shits on the board then struts aroind like they’ve won”.

The mid to late 70s were pretty dismal. Stagflation, crazy interest rates, the gas crisis, etc. I was in middle school in 1980 so I didn’t have a lot of life experience at the time but I remember how his speeches made people feel hopeful for the first time in a long while.

I had a history professor in college that once said in a lecture that it is impossible for someone who lived through something to view it historically because of perception and bias. I think of him every time I see something like this because it makes me wish I could live long enough to read historical analyses of stuff like Reagan’s presidency. Hopefully history will be able to truthfully describe what he did to our country.

Carter had his issues but he was and intelligent and thoughtful person that was ultimately screwed over.

I don’t know if you’re from Louisiana but the percentage of voters electing these guys is much higher than 20%.

Thanks. I went to get the quote and the article was behind a paywall. This guy probably can’t figure iut why he has high employee turnover.

I can’t get over the quote from the bills author when he says “Give me a break”. In my district in the last election there were 3 candidates running for the state Legislature and they all tried to out conservative eqch other.

Given the makeup of the Legislature and who our current Governor is this is pretty much a done deal.

And you can still drive 13 hours and stay in Texas.

I’m sure Ben Shapiro will work wokeness into it somehow.

Didn’t W divest a bunch of stuff and setup a blind trust for the same reason. And if I’m remembering correctly didn’t the peanut farm had been Carter’s family for a while so he gave up something that meant something more than money.

I’m pretty sure most of his properties are extremely leveraged.
