  1. Not only that, but as much as $750 might have come out of his own pocket through taxes!
  2. Do even his most ardent supporters question this part? 😏 Nailed it except for that I think. Agree with CY. Not sure what it is, but some are exceptional at quickly seeing one side (invariably their own) of things. Trump has to be in that category. Some would call others lazy as they ponder both sides of things. Not sweating details can allow moving on to something else.
  3. My Cliff Clavin inspired trivia: Otzi, the "iceman" who died 5300 years ago and found in Otzal Alps between Austria and Italy in 1991, is known to have had Lyme disease. https://www.utoronto.ca/news/u-t-researchers-find-ancient-iceman-s-infection-helps-lyme-disease-bone-loss-discovery
  4. I think it's best he didn't have one. Biden can hear Trump directly. At least if he's distracted by Trump's incessant interruptions we get to know why.
  5. You picked a fine time to leave me Dodge Ram... "Most statements or claims on the internet are exaggerated, completely false, or incorrectly attributed" Mahatma Ghandi
  6. "It was a big sick. a very very big sick. Doctors, specialists in the field and I'm talking about the very best, said anyone else would have died and died quickly. They were amazed how quickly I got over it. Very amazed."
  7. See...if Yang's UBI had been in place it would at least have allowed Trump to put some modest food on the table...
  8. Of course. That was meant tongue in cheek in reply to INow's off topic exaggerations.
  9. ...and here I am thinking I have a reasonable semblance of balanced viewpoints...
  10. Whether you agree with the timing, so close to the election, or not; this is a potential minefield for the Democrats...and they have so many that simply don't have the nature or savvy to tread lightly.
  11. Assuming a fair tax system it would simply offset a small portion of their taxes. Keeping it universal eliminates any stigma, the cost and problems of running means tests, and avoids the issues created by clawback welfare. It could be one of the more efficient aspects of what government does.
  12. I'm sure after careful thought Trump and the GOP will do the right thing. Not much chance they'll do the left thing...
  13. One advantage of eating garlic + fenugreek; you don't need to worry about social distancing...
  14. In their defence, a reasonable carbon tax surcharge added to their fare should be sufficient...
  15. I wonder why she would expect a wait of over 4 years? 😉 No doubt. But still rare form...
  16. The worst are the monks. They think they're the most humble people in the World. They don't actually come out and say it...but you can tell they're thinking it.
  17. Just days before her death, as her strength waned, Ginsburg dictated this statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: "My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed." https://www.npr.org/2020/09/18/100306972/justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg-champion-of-gender-equality-dies-at-87
  18. Even in Canada this is a significant news story. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/supreme-court-justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg-dead-1.5730809 She was a great lady. RIP RBG.
  19. Given. But supplies too easy fodder for a multi-billion dollar campaign.
  20. Natural gas is a fossil fuel that, CO2 reproduction notwithstanding, comes close in some respects to each of your bullet points, But even the best coal does not, at least for most of them.. Assuming there is a God...God probably just cringed*... *(but They knew They would...so no biggie)
  21. Climate change is real and the ramifications are significant. There is no need to exaggerate it. Those who do are also divorcing themselves from science. That's not directed at anyone on this Forum but on the topic of America's divorce from science.
  22. A light hour in one frame during a duration of 45 minutes in another frame. We're all doing it right now.
  23. My thoughts also from the OP's post...only worded much better than I would have,
  24. Without clicking the link...Time Zone Change Syndrome is a real thing. It's also known as jet lag or desynchronosis. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/jet-lag/symptoms-causes/syc-20374027 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_lag
