    People under 30 though are buying it hook, line and sinker.

    Until their iPhones stop working.

    Oh Noes... ApplePay stopped working. The poor little dears. What will they do?

      No surprise there.

      Someone commented: "Surely the US would be unable to pay for them, and it’d be illegal for them to buy anyway… sounds performative"

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            According to MIL, people our age or older are not buying any of the BS. People under 30 though are buying it hook, line and sinker. The middle generation is mixed although the sanctions will definitely hit them hardest especially in the large cities. The rural areas though are firmly behind Putin.

            According to social media—which everyone here has access to by the way so there's no need to guess—this is pretty much what's going on, although it seems that not all young people are buying it.

            ...then again my definition of "young people" might need some recalibration. I'm old now.

              Too lazy to look up the details, but it was maybe 10-12 years ago Orbital had a rocket blow up on the pad at Wallops Island.

              It was a Russian rocket, supplied to Orbital, that blew up. I talked to the guy who was buying those Russian rockets (former Shuttle and Station commander). At the time those were the only option. Although they continued to use Russian rockets for a while, that explosion gave incentive to make more American rockets available.

                  All right, all right. Very funny.

                                Comments like that are completely expected and the main reason why I say such things here!

                                You do realize that in 48 hours I will be closer to 100 than I am from my birth?

                                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                          No problem we'll just switch to electric produced by nuclear.

                                          We should be able to get that done by the end of the week.
