I spent 20+ years in the military. About half were in the South, the rest were literally in every other corner of the country. I did my undergrad at one of the service academies and grad school in the Bay Area. And have been married to a southerner for 20 years and spend several weeks in the...

That's right up there with "At least we're not Mississippi" which if you've ever lived in the south is something you literally hear all the time.

Well let's start with the ammunition side because it's so clear cut. The NYT article was about a dealer who was criminally charged for illegally selling foreign made ammunition to the U.S. government. He was charged because what he was doing was illegal, meaning we've already got the laws and...

It's not the stupid or controversial things I'm referring to at all. It's the ability to string together a coherent sentence. Again, stop and read the quote I posted. Really, go back and read it. I just can't make myself believe that you honestly, deep down, believe those to be the words of an...

Is Mississippi getting better? Not so much. I'll be willing to bet any amount of money that in 10 years the San Francisco Bay Area will still be creating more GDP, more new companies, more innovation, and more of pretty much everything except obesity than the states of Mississippi, Alabama, and...

They're trying to predict the price and failing. They're natural users of the gas, but they need to predict prices for what they call an avoided coat calculation needed under PURPA. All very inside baseball, but bottom line is that efforts to predict natural gas prices out more than a year have...

Electric utilities all set their avoided coat rates on long term forecasts of natural gas costs. In practice they are almost always wrong, often wildly so when it gets past a year or so. That's especially the case now with fracking where high gas prices have an almost immediate impact on supply...

You're right, I got carried away. I apologize.

It seems that democratic controlled cities produce the majority of this country's GDP and in the case a few cities in California most of the technology and software you and your kind aren't smart enough to understand but depend on to yell out your ignorance. On the other hand, those places where...

Since the spending and the tax cuts went together in the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (TCJA), then yes, the TCJA caused the deficit. It was a pretty complex bill with a lot of moving parts not addressed in the bill title, not sure if you've actually read it but I have read most of it because much of it...

Unless you are considering Taiwan to be "China", which I don't think is fair in this context, CPUs for the F-35, which is the only impacted weapons system I know of, don't contain components made in China, they're made in Taiwan by TSMC. Taiwan is one of our very close allies although we haven't...

Did the debt and deficit blow up after the TJCA? At the end of the day, that's all that matters. My money is on you Mr. "disagreed with his worldview" to be completely unwilling to provide a yes or no answer to that very yes or no question. Because guess what, it disagrees with your worldview!

Don't you go providing "verifiable facts that disagreed with his worldview." of the jackasses who can't admit the tax cuts blew up the deficit. They're so certain of their moral superiority I'm certain they won't be bothered to actually take time to read and understand those verifiable facts.

You must have missed the last 10 posts where you were shown to be 100%, unequivocally wrong? It's certainly true that most people of any political persuasion don't like to deal with someone who routinely makes shit up and is utterly incapable of realizing and admitting when they're wrong. We...

I'm gonna go with doorknob. I am genuinely interested in how people like this function in day to day life. I interact pretty regularly with people at all levels of intelligence, from Down Syndrome adults on up. To be completely honest, the Down Syndrome adults seem to have a much better grasp on...

Stupidly repeating yourself accomplishes what exactly? A question is not a point. What is your point? It appears to be that based on conspiracy You Tube videos you think that COVID tests don't test for COVID but also the common cold and therefore the increase in COVID test results...

So you honestly, deep down, believe that quote I provided of Trump, or the hundreds more I'm happy to provide you, demonstrate strong cognitive function? We're not talking about if someone is a gifted speaker or not, we're talking about someone who pretty much daily exhibits an inability to...

First, you need to figure out what your point is. Then you need to start getting you information from peer reviewer sources instead of conspiracy whackos. Then all your questions will be answered. Welcome to the world of rational intelligent people.

Given I can still see your post, you apparently aren't even capable of blocking someone here on ET. Only one person in this conversation was spouting bullshit that not only turned out to be false but mathematically wasn't relevant. Perhaps IQ doesn't mean what you think it means? And this...

If you're a software developer (that's what all the one's who work for me call themselves) then I'm the Queen of England! It's inconceivable that someone with your tenuous grasp on facts and basic math could be anything but maybe an "IT guy" who plugs in computers and yells at people about...
