  1. Manual labor on assembly lines can and have been retrained for tech jobs. Friends on the auto lines in Detroit - 1 went into robotics and maintains the machinery on the lines, the other went into auto engineering and is working on driveline designs. CAD operators are still in need as well. I do realize some hardcore manual labor folks will continue to have challenges, adult education/continuing education is available, and some immigrants are having success with family recipe food trucks for just a few examples. Others will continue to need help, and some people just seem to have endless bad luck in life forever - as a society I hope we continue to assist where we can.

    Ukraine

    Last I heard, Russia isn't even burying their own.
  3. I've been in IT since the early 80's. The jobs I've had have "gone away" 3 times. Adapt to the changes and learn new skills. Skills that pay significantly more.
  4. No he didn't. Trump was appointed, not elected by popular vote. We, the citizens, were ignored.
  5. Good thing one of my best friends is the former head of the Jeep division, credited with restoring their reliability and quality, and that the car came with a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty. Repairs will be pennies compared to the MB, even doing them myself was expensive AF on the Benz. I laughed when the local MB dealers were offering financing for maintenance programs. Oil changes with monthly payments? Nope. As with all Benz's, it was a great car....until maintenance and repairs. I've had Jeeps before and not had any issues with them, unlike EVERY Chevrolet product I've had except one - the Firebird Formula 350. I'm OCD about care and maintenance though - so I've had pretty good luck with most vehicles. I just got the software updated on my car computer to actually talk to the new Jeeps, including the security gateway portion - I need to see what I can change/adjust/add on this new baby.
  6. We just unloaded Andrea's Mercedes in favor of a new Jeep Grand Cherokee. I couldn't fathom a $600 - $1500 PCV valve replacement. The luxury SUV of the Grand Cherokee puts the Mercedes to shame as well. Beautiful upgrade.
  7. Well he did only grab her kidneys, MAGAs are known to grab women by the pu$$y. Maybe her standards are a bit more trashy.
  8. If money is required to regain mental stability and normalcy in life, call it what you will. But it's worth it.
  9. Sadly, yes. When needed, it IS worth it.
  10. She may be forced to sell the double wide.
  11. It's expensive because it's worth it!
  12. Hey Jerry, I agree. Her comments to others charged with similar crimes and some for the same crime should have no effect on other defendants' cases. I look forward to the discussions regarding Trump's sentencing.
  13. He also appears to want to help Russia with their war efforts.
  14. So THAT'S the source of them self igniting!
  15. What about ALL OF THE BIRDS???? /s
  16. "Republicans: The Left wants to impose mask mandates because they want to control your life. Also Republicans: The government has the right to decide what gender you are, who you can love or marry, which books you can read and what you can or cannot do with your own bodies."

  17. And Gym Jordan still gets to yell at and accuse others of crimes without evidence while he simply ignored his subpoena. It's weird to realize that America is becoming a third world country.
  18. The Rosenberg's conspiracy conviction and sentencing should had created the precedent for these conspiracy cases IMO. Saying that on Xitter will get your account locked.
  19. BOHICA Trump: Trump is liable in the second E. Jean Carroll defamation case, judge rules; January trial will determine damages.
  20. Good thing we're not talking about humans then. You struggle with science and facts.
  21. No states allow the killing of babies silly.
  22. ISIS is used to distribute IP routing information throughout a single Autonomous System in an IP network.
