Some car people are the biggest arses you will ever meet. I'll put in the electric drivetrain and enjoy it my way.

You kinda make it sound like the choice is between having living wages or less child abuse.

There is a way, but most people won't do it. It is grinding away and putting in the hours and making very small improvements over a long time.

Not anymore, his brain has turned to mush. If you look up his interviews from the 1980s and 1990s he was a lot more articulate. Always had a simple vocabulary but he could still present a reasonably logical response to a question. Still came across as a bullshitter real estate guy though and not to be trusted under any circumstance.

No, you've already skipped over it. Continue on to gay space communism, which has better human rights and much snazzier uniforms anyways.

The German-American Bund certainly had a Nazi phase in the USA. 1935 Los Angeles, German-American Bund celebration of Hitler's birthday.

Technically, he's nonfunctional now. Rational adults don't act like that. Before he degraded too far though he had enough marbles to fill his cabinet with super loyal bootlickers so he wouldn't get the 25th.

Kimberly-Clark makes toilet paper and paper towels (among a bunch of other shit) and one of their advertising things was saying each one of their mega rolls had four times the amount of butt napkins as a regular size roll.

David Duke is probably the most obvious example of Klan Democrat turned Republican, in 1988 IIRC.

I'm honestly surprised CN actually went through with it. I would not have done it. But I'm kinda petty like that, soooo

From an auld Imgurian, you are very welcome! So many from the Great Depression as well, and of course through the Civil RIghts and Antiwar movements from ~1960 onward. Pete Seeger's song (Waist Deep In The Big Muddy) is suddenly relevant again today. Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel singing about Vietnam war vets returning home in the 1980s. And of course current artists adding to the catalogue. SO many examples of songs it's a little overwhelming.

Lot longer than the past half century, mate. Amazing Grace was basically a protest song against slavery, written by a slaver who became an abolitionist.

Don't kid yourself, that can and will happen anywhere with free capitalism. Most civilised countries will practice fair capitalism that provides a solid safety net for their populations and limits on big business.

the same. If the US had helped Ho Chi Minh at that time then Vietnam would never have gone communist and the war wouldn't have happened.

First US troops went to Vietnam after the French withdrew in 1954. The communist North consolidated around Ho Chi Minh while the US propped up the South. Eisenhower only sent in 500 as peacekeepers. Kennedy nearly doubled it to 900, but it was a (likely staged) incident in 1964 when LBJ started sending troops in wholesale. Funny thing, Ho Chi Minh requested US help from the US starting in 1919 to make Vietnam independent from France. US troops who worked with him during WW2 recommended 1/

Yes, when he was elected a second time was when I knew to get out. I had worked a position that had a lot of international travel so Australia wasn't an unknown to me. I had moved up into an EE spot and had a few years experience at that point. A company that mine worked with had offered a spot for awhile but I didn't take them up on it until then. MCS isn't unique to USians but many do exhibit it pretty hard. It had bothered me for years though. Too many individual cowboys.

No worries mate. Was American but left after getting a job down here as I saw which way that shitshow was going. Will never go back. Just one of those skilled workers taken in by a civilised country. I do feel sorry for those friends I left behind but they're going to have to find their own way out or through. Feel much more at home down under than I ever did in my country of birth.
