It's definitely a gamble

This reminds me of the same argument for having weapons; to defend yourself from a knife you want a pistol, to defend yourself from a pistol you want a semi auto, to defend yourself from... So people buy bigger and bigger vehicles because "it's safer in a crash" .... 1. Yes, Americans are...

I think quite often people buy pick ups and SUVs because of savvy marketing from the Big 3 using the same image used for decades to sell cigarettes. For every contractor who needs a truck for work there are probably half a dozen who never put anything in the bed of their truck. Jack it up, you...

Unfortunately, because of the complexity of modifying the Constitution, little can be done at the State or Federal levels to address weapons ownership in the US. Personally I understand why people own weapons in rural parts of the country, like the states you point to. Be it for hunting or...

That's what you think? I think American companies stopped making sedans because their labor costs were too high and their products not up to par with the competition.

I think it's important to differentiate owner/founders from hired CEOs who are white collar employees. I'll be the first to cry foul on CEO pay at US corporations, the most grossly overpaid employees in the world. Sticking to the auto manufacturing sector, the same can be said of the blue...

He thinks the primary responsibility of a business is to have employees.

Tesla workers get both salary/health package and stock options. Some have become millionaires, thanks to share value.

No, let's do like Australia, where you are required to vote or pay a $30 fine. Also while we're at it, the US should have a national ID, national primaries, national voting process, and 1 voter 1 vote... At that point we may come closer to being a democracy.

I know we have. And the point isn't to disenfranchise anyone, it's to take your voting right seriously enough. You are a citizen and a voter, you need an ID. If you can't afford to get one, the state will provide you one as soon as you show proof that you can't afford the $30 or whatever an...

Wasn't me. I consider myself a liberal and find it absurd that some think having to show a legal ID is too much of a burden to ask of voters.

I left the US in 2019 because I couldn't stand the direction the country was moving. I have a teenager and the last thing I wanted was hearing continuous loops of the latest mass murders, the nonsense coming out of Trump, the legal availability of drugs and dozens of other reasons that made...

You mean believing that showing an ID to vote should be the least of a citizen's responsibility? That would be me. You think Australians or anyone else in the world don't have to show ID to vote?

I didn't think of it that way... thanks for posting! :banghead:
