    The electric vehicle thing is just a handy political shiny bauble to dangle, it's obviously a much more fundamental problem. Alternatively, maybe Trump could award the contract for them to Elon and ask for a big discount?

    @jon-nyc said in Virginia is about to become the friendliest restaurant state…: The rationale is vote buying. LBJ smiled.

    I remember one of the Symphonic Etudes of Schumann has 5 against 2 in the right hand, against 16 in the left. I think it’s the last one before the final.

    @Jolly said in Bipartisan Frustration?: University enrollment is down. I think it will continue to decrease until a college degree becomes more affordable. More likely until 17 years after fertility rate turns greater than population replacement rate.

    LOL. Reduce staffing by creating another department which adds staffing. 555 ...the Army Installation Management Command, or IMC, created in 2006 and chartered to “reduce bureaucracy, apply a uniform business structure to manage U.S. Army installations, sustain the environment and enhance the well-being of the military community.” IMC is headed by a lieutenant general, with a major general as deputy and brigadier general as chief of staff. IMC includes a workforce of 30,000 soldiers and 70,000 civilians.

    @Mik said in Cold Case: I won’t do it. No confidence in confidentiality. The thing is, even if you dont do it, there is probably some relative out there somewhere who has. So, they probably would be able to track you somehow. I am not too worried yet, as I dont think the testing is too popular in Asia................ yet.

    IF they were going to spend that kind of money, I would have thought they would have put solar panels and some sort of battery for each house. That would prevent the situation from a storm that they describe. Also, bury power/transmission lines generator for each house Be "off grid" for 98% of the time. When there is a natural disaster, have a back up like generators.
