We live above the 60th parallel so We get to watch the glaciers melt away. I've been watching Climate Change for 40 years as it happens. With permafrost melting things are getting exciting quickly

I'm slightly older than Igneous Rock.

We had an economy in the 50's, 60's & 70's that was far better than what we have today & were headed in the Right (Left) direction. We need it back. . . Both the Mamdani platform & Biden/Harris are the same as we had in that WWII - 1970's.

As always; Peace!

One of the most defining of B Franklin's quotes Is "We are giving you a democracy, If you can keep it"!
The Revolutionary War lasted 8 years of some of the most horrifying combat anyone can imagine. Single shot rifles & bayonets, starvation, rape, frostbite, disease & they did it for a budding democracy. Today fully 1/3rd of eligible voters don't? We can't take a few hours every couple of years.

The next major war with nuclear weapons will take about 7 minutes from beginning to end. It took 4.5 billion years to get here and an eye blink to be gone.
Here's a song from the 60's sorta says what needs to be said.

Well we are close to finding out if we are going to take ourselves out of the gene pool. Fuckers can't even swim in reality. I had been waiting for someone to rebuild the economy of the 50's-70's. B/H had it. It took the GOP 75 years to get total control, B/H almost got it back in 4. Everyone of the Dems are looking for a platform to run on and here one sits in the corner dying from a bad case of ignore(ance)!

No, those who didn't vote brought us to this moment. Had people paid attention things would have been far from here. Biden/Harris had us in a place that would have rebuilt the economy between WWII and 1970's. Unions back in strength, if you look at the 5 bills that trump doesn't dare allow you'll see what I'm saying. Ignorance & not paying attention is what brought us here. GOP has been fighting for this for 75 years. B/H almost got it back in 4years.

I was a case worker, AFDC and food stamps. We had 5 distinct agencies watching us Fed State Local.The vast majority of people are honest.Reagan's welfare queen was a con-artist. The fraud folk are looking for is not the clients, it's corporations that seek out any way to steal from us all. Work requirements were in the original law, no one could get them to work. A great part of recipients are working, Walmart Employees the biggest underpaid group.

|| I've had VA medical care for over 55 years. The one thing I've seen in that time is this; When the GOP holds the purse care disappears, when the Dems hold that same purse care gets better.They ask that we put our lives on the line so their kids don't have to. (Tho us old guys didn't get much of a choice.) What do we get? Resident Bone Spurs.

|| | Like anyone who lived before this whole series gets really angry when someone says they aren't going Vaccinate their children. "Childhood" diseases, I had friends die and crippled because we didn't have them. It's real easy to see the difference just check the death/disabled list before vaccine and after. That should tell you all you need to know. Same with Covid vaccines they saved lives and still are. Vaccinations helps everyone, not just U

|| Even before all that. First learn what democracy is, it's easy to forget that it is a participatory form of government, that's how we got a dictator for president. The old boys told us to watch out for a demigod, the thing they couldn't protect us from. Before you can truly participate you have to know what it stands for. Read the Bill of Rights but also what the Federalist Papers say about why and how those rights were determined. Peace

I'd want to ask them just how many ballots have been redirected. Seem to me that it would be about the only way to steal your vote. I'm still wondering about the last election, DJT was too laid back toward the voting period. Peace

|| I learned the pledge circa 1950 so whenever I say it I'm always the first one done. So maybe folks could say it the way I know it or the way Neil rewrote it.

|| For all who missed the obvious in the Biden debacle what you lost . . was the economy of the 50's-70's. That was what he and Harris were building starting with the labor unions then if you examine the 5 bills passed (the ones that Orange Menace won't dare allow) what you get is That Economy. Student Loans were just a minor part, you could have had Medical, Education and the ability to buy that house. Now what ya got? Dictatorship? Congrats.

I'm above the 60th parallel I can watch the glaciers retreat, Juneau just had a flood off the Mendenhal Glacier folks evacuated, houses went down the river. Yup NASA and NOAA have said we get it first. Villages are moving inland, permafrost is melting which released methane and CO2 from ancient times. We've watched it for the last 40 years. Species dying out, ice won't support polar bears so the young are dying. Temps 20-30f above what they were 50y ago. fun!
