April 5th, 2025. 3 Million protest the current state of mockery that is our government. I heard rumors of 1 possible arrest for spray-painting on a fire truck. Assclowns with assclown agendas and assclown 'data'.

To get sued over content you've created. That's your Elon Musk-led future, and your Donald Trump led future.

"I was in an industry that desperately wanted to move from old machinery to new." Are you blaming someone else for that? Great, those AI empowered machines will break down, and people to repair them will fill those roles Sorry if I implied all of us are going to be worthless, but I have a long history of working in creative fields- imagine if you were a writer, and now everything you created could be stolen by some entity or company because they claim your individual thoughts were an infringement on their AI technology. well, that's the future I'm going to deal with. Duck it out at your own peril.

Yes, my modern car requires less manpower than my first. Actually they're the same, because they're the same model and year of car. It requires less manpower because I already know what to fix.

It's instinct, I get it- not trying to demonize anybody. Blame the 'libs' if you like, but Reagan was actually the one who turned an immigration trickle into the backbone of America's labor economy. You know, the hero guy, you remember him, right?

You voted when you bought your Chinese goods from Walmart. You voted to take the money and run, rather than support your neighbor's hardware store. You made those choices, don't blame anyone else for the results. And for the love of God, stop thinking that the next generations have the same choices you had.

"What?" - well it made sense in someone's mind- glad I'm not the only one who saw that. On Pat McAfee, it's just mind-blowing how far down the pole of decency some of us allow ourselves to slide. He's after the 'key demographic' of 18-34 year olds. It's not an accident he did this, or kept pressing the topic- probably slipping ratings, but man no class to even dip into this. Jerry Springer, Giraldo Rivera, 'Married... With Children', political hack radio... it was all a bunch of trash which normalized this garbage- Don't get me wrong, MWC had a bunch of funny ish, but it was total trash entertainment. Problem was, people didn't get that, and demanded more and more. Welcome to the world of grown adult men talking scandalousness about teenage girls. Barf Where's Tipper Gore when we need her most

Probably the Oxy's talking.

Well, here's a concept - at the 4th or 5th grade 'Science Fair', while other kids were showing off volcanoes, tarantula terrariums, or the glass F-16 canopy their dad borrowed from his job at General Dynamics, I built a wind tunnel and showed off various airfoil properties. 2 years later I was surrounded by Navy brass from NAS Pt Mugu watching me fly remotes. I was bad ass- that's why they sought me out... and probably helped inspire the feasibility of using drones- for better or worse. Got my license after saving up from summer jobs in my teens, and when I passed my checkride, I was told by my own instructor that I was a better pilot than her. It was likely true, and it was also very kind of her to say. I can fly the snot out of an airplane- how's your parallel parking coming along these days?

Nice catch - before writing it, BJ Hobert was the inspiration, the others were just add-ons. I think Billy Joe COULD have gotten the playbook if he'd read it, but I'm less confident in Hegseth- these are serious, base-level, at their core morons we're dealing with here.

Is it really that inconceivable that some people fly airplanes- surely you have seen them buzzing around up in the sky when you lean your head back to 'pick a winner', right? Funny you should bring up pilots in a Pete Hegseth thread, apparently he's not... leaving a good taste in the mouth of our fighter pilots - but who needs them when we've got Pete Hegseth defending the nation https://www.yahoo.com/news/appalling-fighter-pilots-hegseths-signal-173306277.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAANNDJ2SCvij1c5rbLXsAeQGrklmwTL9RczS1iSMR_y5IGl1A2SPYncH3ujtDBEz-MFAOVA0FjyCx6NIyhgcazvBfhsQlgpEddBZgV6UJCF7QLnV5c1VYfn6NPOoBJmf_A1nR1QDvsWVXaDV1zSBkOm64idk2BbXdZ1jc12yGAyS5

The older generations oversaw a lot of changes for the worse. My gut says you and your hay-bailing neighbors turned to the lowball scam which was Walmart for your Chinese made goods, eliminating not only 1/2 the locally owned businesses, but likely 1/2 the retail jobs which would have given your local kids a sense of purpose... and 80% of the manufacturing jobs located in this country. This is such a mental scam of people ignorantly supporting the Chinese economy and then bemoaning, 'But where did all the USA jobs go'? bull####. Then you all spit at young folks after you saved 2 bucks on your Chinese plastic wheelbarrows. Meanwhile, while you've been saving your pittance on disposable hardware, your donations to these mega-companies instantly suck your money straight out of your local economy, and put it directly into the hands of billionaire investors who buy up your land and develop housing at 8 times the previous cost. Leaving young folks virtually ZERO chance of being able to build themselves up from scratch into becoming homeowners. "I got mine!" You exclaim to the world. Congratulations. Now go vote for more billionaires and corporate tax cuts, as if they pay any anyways, and pine for the good old days while simultaneously screwing future generations out of housing, clean environments and opportunities. You got yours

Cast your vote - he's gotta be better than a 1st overall bust in your eyes, doesn't he?

Dude, we're not invading Canada. I promise. Our idiot is ball-busting to make himself appear strong in the eyes of some Americans, but he's fundamentally flawed, and would never have the support of enough of us... and he knows it- don't stress. And we're not invading Greenland either. Don't forget the first ***** rule of authoritarians, or wannabe authoritarians- they're afraid to lose power more than anything else on this planet- it's their driving force, and what makes them such weak rulers. Their own chicken-***** natures won't allow them to put themselves in a position where they can be effectively challenged. It is always all sabre-rattling with this type.

I'm not thinking Harvard graduate Ryan Fitzpatrick, or Naval Academy graduate Roger Staubach are fair comparisons here, so sticking to some 'in the ballpark' choices - Which QB does Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth most remind you of? Personally I'm leaning total ***** bust, so I'm voting JaMarcus. The other addicts can tell us what a sad story it was later on.

He's put incompetent people in place to prove how incompetent government agencies are.

Hey Andy, yeah - that's what's gonna happen. You know the one thing they can't take from us is we love our cars. I got a nice old MG, and have serious eyes on an XK I'm seeing recently- long may we run. )

It's all a joke of incompetence- Putin bed-wetting, 4 Seasons Landscaping, Hegseth, wants to ***** his daughter,,,, Wow, you've picked the 16th place horse in the Kentucky Derby, Past Applicants and Cripples Edition.

Fine - who cares in the short-term, but we're supposed to hope in a guy who has failed at everything he's done in life- beyond promoting his 'brand' ... gag, to actually for once in his life... succeed? You gotta be a lunatic. Those foreigners are smarter than him- and it's not even close. Get you heads out of yiur asses, Trump is too ######ed to even be an American Despot.

Jeffrey Goldberg had as much place in a war-planning discussion as did your pet python Frankie. what is your point? Oh ***** never mind, there is no point.

I'm getting kind of tired of demonizing a generation who are disillusioned by the world their elders have created, or passively allowed to be created. How many absolutely worthless follks did you grow up with- and maybe you're one people could say that about too? Maybe I am, I dunno. But hopefully that's not where we're at today, and I know plenty of 'young folks' who have blown my mind with what they HAVE paid attention to. It's not a lost generation 'out there', it's one more step in the makeup of what we all are.

Machines will need mechanics- some. Office workers??? What office? Electricians- some Quality will all be handled by Musk, personally Payroll is already dumb enough to hardly need someone to actually do it- it's friggin numbers... And as we speak, code monkeys are currently busy inventing algorithms to replace themselves permanently - and those are supposed to be the smart ones... Doctors- 90% replaceable by automation Surgeons- same Lawyers are getting crucified Smelters - done Miners - done Sock weavers - done Every working driver on the planet - done Boat Captains- start training, there'll be some heavy competition Logging, a bit of farming, construction, and creating boutique muffins is the future. What property will be necessary, and what payroll will remain to tax? The world is going to evolve, and 'bringing manufacturing back to America' is a long-term joke of a concept. Get ready for joblessness, replaced by automated lunacy. ... and then there's AI... that'll be a future topic to terrorize this board with. )

What the ***** does this have to do with the topic?

Ermigrd. Trump is creating chaos with our ALLIES and has made an unnatural recession. Just ***** shut up.
