    @Jolly said in The Vega: Does Vega have a shot? Oh yeah. The redrawn district is a little redder than the old one. Of course, it also depends on how much DC spillover has moved into Prince William and Fredericksburg Counties. They've taken over Arlington, Fairfax, and Loudoun and are starting to spread west and south.

    @Jolly said in Organic: Market forces drive drop in organic food purchases... https://www.convenience.org/Media/Daily/2022/Jun/22/3-Food-Beverage-Industry-Takes-Hit_Consumers We've started backing off the "organic" produce on some items. Many Americans are eating out less, You know, I think part of that is also due to the lack of staffing. Restaurant service has been pretty crappy over the last 6 months as there simply aren't enough employees. The only real solution at this point is to raise prices even more to increase wages, and yeah... That ain't going to work.

    Just finished watching the full thing. 26:00... always love watching how the pianist tackles this section, it's mesmerizing to watch 30:00 and 39:00... @Klaus is right, these two parts in particular he rushed a bit and was losing sync with the orchestra Always nervous when I see some sweat beads fly onto the keyboard, you don't need that at those speeds!

    Well, what I meant was this type of resentment follows when all that is focused on is the behavior of the so called oppressor, while requiring no behavioral change on the part of the so called oppressed to help themselves.

    You see that big dot in Louisiana? That looks to be almost Monroe, but I would bet money that's most likely AEX. ConAir has a facility there at the end of the runway, along with a secure area where JRTC processes soldiers. Plus, the runways are USAF long and you can land anything on them. Including these: [image: OIP.NfZ-SMKZdtlJGQYao8ZLKwHaEK?w=304&h=180&c=7&r=0&o=5&pid=1.7] You ought to see one of these parked next to a Starlifter.

    The left has gone so totally crazy, it will soon be almost impossible for anyone to support their lunacy. The 2-party system will soon be almost gone. Remember Mr. Nixon's 49-1 victory? Someone will eventually come along and finance a new left.
