Pete: Her earlobe looks like a cashew.
You: Don't bite my ear Pete!

That and the third bedroom in a house I rented with a friend (fortunately we didn't need that room) that had a 5' doorway.

My first thought is that can't be real.

I've changed my name here to stay anonymous, so no new pictures of me, just this one which is a little bit later on from my avatar.

Did you ever get it figured out?

In the 1970s the US allowed Japan to dump vehicles subsidized by keeping the Yen below real value. In effect dumping them below market value. To allow China to do that today is asking for the same effect.
I do agree with you that green energy is far easier than being made out. We shouldn't allow any non-hybrid or electric vehicle to be sold in the US, TODAY. Not in five years, now.
But I've been yelling about this for decades.

I'm still looking, this may be it: "If you are using a Directv Streaming box go into settings by pressing the button that looks like a house on your remote control and going all the way over to where it looks like a gear then hit ok then go down to system and hit ok then hit ok on display and hit ok then go down to power saving and then select ok to turn it off. This will keep the are you still watching message from popping up."

And they also have convinced young people that Biden, in particular, isn't doing what needs to be done. They have vilified him on Gaza and repeatedly as just an old man. But look how much our country recovered in the past 3 1/2 years. That's steady, statesman-like leadership.

I worry most about people giving up on democracy and not voting in November here in the USA.

But then he wins the presidency and who cares what SCOTUS thinks.

And one of Biden's next official duties is to send Seal Team Six to take Trump out. After all, he has immunity from prosecution, right?

They skate around that by having doctors on staff and they determine which procedures get approved without arguing and extra work by the medical office.
It's ridiculous and doctors have to have large staffs to handle this. And the insurance companies are staffed by people who can legally block a procedure without further input from the doctor's office.
We have a terribly f'd up healthcare system in this country (USA).

Thus there is a 10% flat tax on all transactions using that currency.
Cryptocurrencies have a value because they are in vogue, there is nothing there holding up the value. Fiat currencies have value because a country puts itself behind the currency. Gold has value because of its scarcity.
Crypto will not last, it will have a crash that will end it and a lot of people will get financially ruined. Bitcoin is a disaster.

Our system works on the two parties because of how it was originally designed.
Because of the Electoral College no third party has a chance of winning the presidency.
Because of how the house has a speaker elected by the majority, no third party will ever hold that role.
Ditto for the Senate, it often takes 60 to get something done.
How does one break out of that system when there is no rational way to do so?
