There’s no perfect defense, but metal detectors and a cop at every school. It’s as good as it gets. Teachers with guns is a ineffectual idea. 

Have you seen most cops today?  Not for nothing, but their physical fitness, agility, athleticism, and I assume coordination makes me wonder how effective a single cop could be, regardless of union-approved training.  No wonder we've militarized a lot of local LEO, likely to overcompensate for the lack of individual abilities.

I literally live next door to a teacher/administrator and I would literally purchase the weapon for him.

No one is asking for a platoon of teachers with ARs locked up in the office. 1 or 2 that can react in under 2 or 3 minutes of a situation, when the cops are minutes away, can make all the difference.

Treat it like the air marshal program after 9/11. 

What about some type of laser that would blind an assailant, as plan B to guns?  More folks could be trained on those and likely less resistance.

Apples to oranges. Remove the petrodollar from the equation and the advantage of reserve currency, America may not be looking so good. The reptiles continue to sneak around trying to keep America's advantage at the expense of other. These are the same reptiles that the right calls the elite. 

Careful what you wish for.  For all the people that would like to see the US NOT dominate the globe economically and militarily, they'll be least able to handle the inevitable transition to a new world order.

It's where technology meets ambition. Without the American and European weapons, it would be another Syria. I read some analysis from 2017 where what's happening now was predicted. This is almost like an orchestrated plan to bring down Russia and turn China's neighbor into a ghetto state. 

Isn't it already a ghetto state, but with nukes?  Or, as some have said, the world's gas station disguised as a county, with nukes.

I'm kinda curious here ... how many of you guys own newer GM vehicles, and if you do - anyone experience issues with the fuel management system where the lifter bank(s) fail?  I bought a new '21 Sierra (6.2) in January of '21 and experienced the problem in August.  At that time, I had 7800 miles on the odometer and it was considered the "left bank" needing replacement ... lifters & push rods were on the repair sheet.  Well, fast forward from last August to this past weekend, and the damn thing happened again .. of course it happened as I'm 2+ hours away from home, towing my sled trailer.  I limped it home, and got it to the shop yesterday & was told by the service guy, "GM knows about this, and with your truck you didn't have both banks replaced because the first issue didn't happen with 7500 (or less) miles.  If your truck had that mileage, both banks would have been replaced."  I looked at him in disgust, and said "Really?  I was 300 miles over their so-called limit?!?!"  And even though he agreed it was asinine, he made it clear it wasn't their call ... it's GM's.  So, my next question to him was how many vehicles have come back for repair, with the other bank failing.  He said I was one of probably 6-8 they've had in the shop.  He said the supplier also provides the lifters for Hyundai and another brand that I can't remember off the top of my head.

Outside of this issue, I've really liked this truck & engine.  I thought I'd miss my 3.5 Ecoboost, but I really haven't (minus these lifter issues).  That said, I will be looking to dump this truck if something else happens before my warranty is up & will be going back to Ford. 

 

 

I have a 21 Sierra with 5.3 and one side went down with about 10 k miles back in Nov. At the time GM just switched to replacing both sides since it was in the shop. So far so good. I hear the issue is contained to certain mfg dates, as noted above. Hopefully yours is now fully fixed.

US consumers too.  Voluntarily shipping massive amounts of net wealth offshore every year has it's consequences, eventually.

Capitalism at work.

The avg US household sends $3k per year to China every year, and growing. It’s a big wealth transfer as they steal our technology. Gonna be tough times for the US in 5-10 years due to China. 

Inventory, or lack thereof, tells much of the story.

Isn’t the latest him looking down the shirt of a staffer? If that’s sexual harassment I guess I’m guilty too. That’s fucking instinct unless one lacks testosterone

Lower production due to COVID but increased demand from tablets, laptops, etc for the work from home crowd.  The perfect storm really for demand > supply.

If we all evaded taxes the way rich liberals do, we too could afford multiple face lifts!!!

South Dakota has given out almost 3/4’s of the vaccine the government gave them.  California has barely given out a quarter of it.  They have had ample time to prepare but failed badly

Clearly a tax increase will fix this for next time.  

Had it done in 2006. Zero complaints and glad I did it.  Think I paid $5k back then.  

Now that the democrats have full control of Washington (Congress and the WH), they should have no trouble reversing the destructive Trump tax cuts of 2017.  

My question, what will be their excuse when they don't fully reverse Trump's tax cuts?

After the joy of initial ownership, both will prove to be very expensive and both will always be very high maintenance.  Unstable and poor reliability results in a spendy unloading after only a few years.

That’s why leases makes more sense. 😁

yup-  massholes do that here to us.  in the 70's and 80's people came here to live free and die,  in the 90's and 2000's the nanny liberals started getting bad.  

Do liberals ever bring anything positive to the party? They’re like the party goer who shows up empty handed and drinks all the beer.

This what you want your state to be like?   Can't even keep the power on......imagine during a Green New Deal.    

California has the highest tax rates in the country, highest energy rates in the country, highest rates of homelessness and can't keep the electricity on for everyone.   All thanks to progressive liberal policies.  This is the America Biden and Harris want.   

Yup, and in 2030 they don't want to sell any non-electric new cars.  Their electric grid should handle it well.    United States of China by 2040.

It is a two class state the wealthy and the poor, middle class is withering on the vine.

That's the liberal end game. Rich liberals and everyone else is poor.

zero % interest rates coupled with the massive amounts of helicopter $$ from the Federal reserve.  It can only go one way.....until it can't.

wealth tax for those with large net worths is not unfair.  Don't worry your hundred dollar net worth isn't going to be taxed nor is my millions   

That would mostly benefit the lawyers.......arguing over the value of privately owned assets (businesses, for example).  Which is why the liberals love it.....it's complicated (ie, expensive) to administer, enriches the lawyers, and requires a lot more gov workers.  And oh by the way, the definition of rich will move downstream quickly when they realize projected tax revenues won't materialize.
