I'm in the US for the first time in 2 1/2 years, and talking face to face with people is immensely more productive than talking over Zoom. If Zoom were the default and someone just invented face to face, it would seem like an amazing step forward.

If Cancel Culture is really going to have Donald J. Trump removed from the John Hughes movie “Home Alone,” then in support of MY PRESIDENT, I’d like to have myself officially removed from the John Hughes’ films, “Pretty In Pink” and “Ferris Buhler’s Day Off.”😂

The college debt “forgiveness” Biden’s team is planning is just paying off mostly white lib voters from 3rd tier colleges with worthless humanities degrees
It’s a transfer of wealth from welders, plumbers, and general contractors to adjunct professors and MSNBC watchers

"There must surely come a time when heat and power are stored in unlimited quantities in every community, all gathered by natural forces. Electricity ought to be as cheap as oxygen, for it cannot be destroyed."

"We should utilize natural forces & thus get all of our power. Sunshine is a form of energy. Winds & tides are forms of energy.
Do we use them?
Oh, no! We burn up wood & coal as renters burn up the front fence for fuel. We live like squatters, not as if we owned the property."
