  1. Truedumb almost looked giddy when talking about the fires recently. Damn he's got a punchable face.
  2. Great then for every kid that doesn't go to college give them $80K to put in a 401K so they can retire with millions. We already spend over $500 billion in taxes on higher ed for 18m students. $27K each. How about we rework that system into something where we don't need $400 billion more. Hell some colleges have more administrators than they do students. So not taking into consideration other costs a each student has to pay for 4 years salary and bennies of one of them. Public schools not much better. 16K plus workers at the University of Iowa....33K students. 1:2 ratio st
  3. Sure they can give educated predictions or assumptions but it would be foolish to think of their accuracy as anything but that. On top of that 90,000 in the next 27 years doesn't sound to me worthy of wholesale changes to our way of life that might have other negative impacts on society as well as greatly empower our biggest enemy. China. I think again this is typical on most of the debates on the lefts side. See something like this and push for it without understanding the other consequences that go along with it. Any savings that a move to EV usage might bring will be impact so m
  4. While I laugh at the idea of its chances I applaud the method that this is the proper way of doing things. Biggest laugher in the amendment. Essentially would give states the right to confiscate any firearm. The proposed amendment also ensures that local governments, Congress, and states can enact additional measures, making it even more restrictive to purchase a firearm. https://www.oann.com/newsroom/gavin-newsom-proposes-amendment-to-restrict-gun-access/
  5. Not around me. We work with 2 different CC's on hiring welders and machinists and while enrollment is up they are hardly at capacity. I have very good friends in both the electrical and plumbing business' and they would easily have hired more the past 5 years if available. Job availability is very good....if you aren't working you don't want to or can't so absolutely agree on the that. My son just graduated with a CIT degree and had plenty of opportunity. Found a job in 2 weeks. Yes college loans should fall under bankruptcy law but that doesn't mean common sense to the system should
  6. Dude they have zero means of making those assumptions and if they do it seems logical to look at the benefits that fuel source provides.
  7. Trade school I'm all for it. We need more of them and less gender studies and other virtually useless degrees. College loans should be like a mortgage. We will borrow you in a range for what your occupation will pay. Allowing kids to go $200K in debt for a degree that pays $50K is insane.
  8. By 2020 State, Federal and local govts already spent around $500+ billion on higher education. Keep in mind this is not tax dollars going to research....that would likely add considerably. With around 18 million students that's almost $28,000 per student.

  9. I should!!! I'm part Irish and we know they got fucked when they came over.

  11. My first diesel truck was back in 05. Its was like $.60 gallon cheaper then for about 3 months. Since its only been less a handful of times.
  12. Its awesome. Can't wait for reparations for illegal Mexican's here because "we" took their land too.
