@axtremus said in McConnell did the right thing.:
Not right enough. The truly right thing to do is to eliminate the "debt ceiling" entirely.
The truly right thing to do would be to reduce spending to the point they didn't reach the ceiling in the first place.
The FAA made it clear that the airline was lying as soon as this happened.
You can give the airline some credit for lying in a way that they could kinda defend.
They said the airplanes and employees were in the wrong places. Which from their viewpoint was probably true.

I have a Guatemalan woman that comes over and vacuums. Let’s herself in and out. Never asked her about her batteries.

The years have not been kind to him it.
That's very unfair. After all, he didn't look that great when he was young.
Did I say WHICH years? Hmmm? No I didn't, now did I.

@renauda said in The General:
Why not General Jacob Devers? His abilities as a general and innovative military leader are all but forgotten. Unjustly partly because his relationship with Ike was not always cordial. As a general though, the Germans took him very seriously.
Is there enough drama there to make a good movie?
There was plenty of drama between him and Ike not to mention Mark Clark. Devers was no slouch as a tactician and could be every bit as diplomatic as Ike when it came to dealing with personalities and egos.
I reckon a good screenplay and director could make it a first class movie.
@larry said in Tesla Moves HQ to Texas:
Which ones?
Just Google 'highest crime rate by state', 'GDP per capita by state', 'Poverty rate by state'.
As I already said, I don't think the reasons are mainly political, or at least not down to party politics.
It usually isn't hard to convert a power socket in the car to deliver power even when the engine/ignition is off.
I don't know what these things are called in English, but one of these cables would probably do the job. The idea is to "steal" power from an "always on" place and redirect it to a power socket.

I’m still surprised we didn’t see BLM wristbands (ala Livestrong) take off in 2020. I would’ve bought Horace two.
Thank you, that is thoughtful of you. I'd prefer pink, so I can demonstrate my awareness of breast cancer, too.
