They will try to hire, and they'll be somewhat successful. They'll staff up until a bean counter notices that their personnel costs have risen dramatically - from the point right after they let the contractors go. Then the cycle starts over again. I've seen it a hundred times. It's a function of the short-sightedness of bean counters and other management critters, who much show movement even if it's in the wrong direction.

Ramaswamy will self-destruct soon. He does not have gravitas. DeSantis? It's hard to say. He has gravitas for sure, but do we want another bomb thrower? Nikki for me.

@Jolly said in 12 Cars Proven to Get to 200,000 Miles: Having said all that, more than one maker has had trouble with GDI technology. It's a carbon monster and I don't think it's worth the benefits. Yeah, it depends on whether cleaning out the carbon buildup takes place during, or after, the warranty expires, right?

Was not able to view the video, but did see an similar article to the second one you posted. CHina has a lot of problems. Saw another article that claimed (without really any data to back it up) that the China population was about 100 MM less than currently claimed and the population cliff is therefore going to happen much sooner. Obviously, I am a bit bias, but I am not sure that the current US attitude towards China should be considered hysteria. LOL

It means you’ll pull the ivermectin out of his cold, dead hands.

(I did not watch the whole video, but) Why was the music better before? I dont think that the musical talent level has gone down in humans over the past 50 years.

(Also, don't judge my technique, this was a collaboration with the kiddo.)

In my early driving days, I got a ticket in the mail for passing a bus. I must have missed that day in driver's ed. The bus driver must have written down my license plate.

My building is 4 stories tall. First floor is a restaurant, dentist, financial advisor (Jones), and a dentist. "Downtown" is full of dual-use buildings. Most of these buildings are over 100 years old.

What's funny (?) about Vivek's post is that it's another "I'm gonna clean house because the entire government is corrupt!" That brings a lot of fans into his camp. If I'm correct, this is not the first time he's done something like this.

Particularly brave to continue after that first jump

Susceptible doesn't necessarily equate 'are going to'. OTOH : the Ukranians have their own strategy which seems to be quite effective.

If you can get enough states to commit, it's Constitutional. I think. Could be wrong and amendments are the only thing possible.
