I concede that US history is horribly marred and shameful, and it behooves us to honor that by not forgetting that past.

Too bad the American history that is actually taught in schools is entirely sanitized and propagandised to remove anything that would make the country look anything less than heroic and angelic.

There’s a lot of historical examples of that “real” heritage being much worse than the noble ideals the country claims to stand for.

it’s going to be soldiers with rifles executing the firing squad.”

How are those soldiers chosen to participate?

Are they ordered to do it, or are they volunteers who actually want to shoot another American citizen?

The “it costs more” is generally relevant to the parts of the country where you also need supplemental heating equipment installed because it stays below -20C for extended periods of time (at those temperatures air source heat pumps can’t keep up with heating demand).

That may not be the case in parts of southern Ontario or coastal BC, but there are large parts of this country that would need the extra heat.

That said, over the life of the system it still costs less when you take into account lower fuel consumption.

I saw much worse coming.

They’re not done yet…

If only there were actual left leaning candidates on the ballot in the USA.

There is a right leaning party and a party that has cranked the wheel off the right side of the road, through the ditch and deep into the weeds.

I’m happy to be considered an enemy of that criminal asshole.

Alcohol sales will skyrocket

I dunno about that one. A lot of people already have a special bottle reserved for that particular celebration.

I prefer to call it “New and Improved Intelligence.”

Improved?

I don’t see evidence to support that claim.

I am happy to be known as an enemy of that corrupt criminal asshole.

Is it time to boycott Disney again?

Why did anyone stop?

I want to see Jr’s dong

Ewww

If I ever visit

I don’t understand why anyone would want to.

There is a massive amount of evidence showing why its a place best avoided.

No OTA updates then

That’s fine with me.

No other car I’ve owned in my 45 years of driving has had OTA updates, and it hasn’t inconvenienced me in the slightest.

They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover,

I’ll judge because she chose to pay a lot of money to look like that.

So do American cars. What else is new?

I don’t like it regardless of where the car company is from.

It’s my car. You don’t get to use it to snoop on me. I don’t care which country the snoops are in.

Another fix is to not allow cars to track and report data back to anyone.

all of his actions sit squarely on the shoulders of every single Republican.

Imagine being a republican trying to get elected in California after this …

Sure people can change.

But they don’t seem to have.

And there was no significant push-back.

Again.

America is already lost.

Anyone who thinks the mid-terms alone will fix everything is dreaming.
