  1. He has already alienated a LOT of White folks. He has created a conflict among the White folks. That is the hilarious portion. Then there are the international problems that he creates for No reason when he didn't doesn't have the brains to handle the existing problems.
  2. Important in the sense of being a trigger for change, I am inclined to agree. What the ultimate result will be I cannot guess. I put a comment on YouTube about the military deciding that Preztard Trump is a "Domestic Enemy" and it got deleted. .
  3. Live & Die by Executive Order
  4. Technology has been integral to our society for a while now. I stopped troubleshooting to the component level in the 90s. I do not know how to do this: .
  5. The Air Force is Bombing Trump?

  10. That is what makes this shit so funny. The number of people who did not vote is larger than the the number of people who voted for him. I think the Democrats are as much to blame for the massive number of non-voters as Republicans. Both parties are so full of crap it is annoying just to pay attention to them. But I think Trump is going to show America a whole new level of F'ed up shit! .
  11. A House of Stupid cannot Stand!
  12. For some reason I get the impression that you do not think having an egotistical imbecile for Preztard is a good idea. You don't like the new name: Gulf of Preztard ??? Actually I do find the idea that so many White people voted this clown into office somewhat amusing. But I wonder how many in the upper echelons of the military have to be contemplating whether he qualifies as a "Domestic Enemy" and what to do in that case? Of course I am not a Lawyer and I am not in the Military and I am not White. So I will just sit here and eat my popcorn. Try not to spray it across the floor when I laugh.
  13. Then what was the earthquake and tsunami that caused the Fukushima meltdown in 2011? Aren't the LA fires trivial by comparison?
  14. Should Donald Trump just kick the bucket and quit wasting the planet's oxygen.
  15. Is this accurate/relevant? https://radicalscholarship.com/2024/02/23/big-lies-of-education-reading-proficiency-and-naep/
  16. I communicated with an accountant about that. He said that he did not mind as long as it was not done until after he retired in 6 years. I am not sure how long it has been. More than 3 years. But I do not doubt for a second that if it actually became an issue Professional Accountants would be up in arms against it. The complexity and difficulty for any business under a few million dollars is no big deal.
  17. So what does 4 years of English literature in high school do for anybody. Drop a year or two of English Lit and replace it with accounting. Big Deal!
  18. "Carnegie was born in Dunfermline, Scotland. He immigrated to what is now Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States with his parents in 1848 at the age of 12. Carnegie started work as a telegrapher. By the 1860s he had investments in railroads, railroad sleeping cars, bridges, and oil derricks." Funny how they don't say much about 1848 to 1860s. I find this defense of ignorance about some 700 year old knowledge rather curious. One might think it was difficult like algebra that is required.
  19. How much horsepower from the gasoline engines in 1783? The P-38 Lightning had two 1600 HP engines with a cruising speed about 220 mph My point was if that was possible in 1940 without computer aided design then why are we expending resources no useless variations in cars rolling along the ground unless the real purpose is to keep the peons running on a treadmill making money for stockholders?
  20. They had to spend money on accounting firms instead of knowing it themselves. Adam Smith wrote "read, write and ACCOUNT" multiple times in Wealth of Nations. I concede READING comes first. Read, WHAT?! It is an absolute Fact that I cannot remember a single book that the nitwit nuns assigned when I was in grammar school. I found and read Star Surgeon by Alan E Nourse when I was 9. Totally blew my mind. Wasn't accounting. 😆 This was before Star Trek. But that is how I learned that the Sun was a star and that all of the stars are suns. No adults were telling me anything like that. I was supposed to pay attention to baseball. I didn't mind playing but otherwise it was boring shit.

  21. Well psychological reasons for buying a car are absurd. Just watch a World War Two movie with fighter planes. Machines designed without electronic computers to do 350 to 400 mph 30 years before the Moon landing. Most changes in cars since Sputnik are only for those psychological reasons. Then decades of Depreciation have been ignored. The corporations have produced well trained consumers. In 1948 less than 1% of American households had televisions. By 1962 it was 90%. The first TV car commercial was broadcast in 1948. It was for an Oldsmobile or a Chevrolet, sources disagree. Are Americans the most electronically psychologically manipulated people on the planet? But what is to be done with literacy? The Screwing of the Average Man (1974) by David Hapgood
  22. I am not talking about learning accounting to get a JOB in accounting. I am talking about knowing accounting for better financial management. How many people buy a new car without thinking about the depreciation first?
