Hi Bill, And, after they re-locate, the GOP will continue to try to deny them the right to vote: U.S. court strikes down key path for enforcing voting rights : NPR Jerry Baumchen

Hi Wendy, I recently watched this on Netrflix: Life on Our Planet - Wikipedia Many yrs ago, I read this: The Life and Death of Planet Earth - Wikipedia In Life on Our Planet, it tells us about the five great mass extinctions that Earth has experienced. After I watched that 8-part series, I was reading some reviews of it. One said that we are now in the middle of the 6th Great Mass Extinction. Everything is in a state of change. * Jerry Baumchen * At 83, I do not buy Lifetime Warranties. PS) I rarely recommend things to other people; but, I do recommend those two links shown, if one is interested in that sort of stuff. As I am.

Hi Robert, I agree that the unions do not like how Musk runs his companies. We had somewhat of a similar situation here in Portland about 15 - 20 yrs ago. At that time, about 90% of all vehicles coming into the west coast of the US, came thru the Port of Portland. The Longshoremen ran the port with an iron fist. For some reasons that I have never known, they decided to take their time in unloading those vehicles; they did Wildcat strikes, Sick-ins, work slowdowns, etc. The shipping companies complained to the Port Authority [ that is who the shipping companies had agreements with ]. The Port Authority shrugged and said that they could do nothing. Within about 3 yrs, almost none of those cars came thru the Port of Portland; they were going to Seattle & Oakland. I am quite sure that the powers that be for the shipping companies are looking at Oslo & Helsinki as Plan B. My allusion to the Luddites is because I am of the opinion that these types of things are really only Feel Good Gestures; they are rarely successful. Time will tell, Jerry Baumchen PS) One result of the Longshoreman's actions were that a lot of their members ended up on unemployment.

Hi Seth, They will win the battle; they will lose the war. IMO EV's are here to stay; until we figure out some other way of getting ourselves around. The Luddites destroyed the weaving machines; the factory owners just bought new ones. Sort of like being a farrier in Detroit in 1910. One can try all they want, but they will not stop progress.
