  2.  @markcalhoun8219  my doctor joined MDVip . so now i need to pay $2100 per year to be his patient. they did do an executive level physical at the cleveland clinic so maybe it's worth it. but i can also get a same day appointment and get a hold of him on the weekend.

  3.  @Chain987  democracy requires intelligent population,. when the population is a bunch of corrupt rubes then it doesn't work so well.

  4. russians are setting up a factory to build shahed drones in belarus only a short distance from ukraine border. this is an easy target for ukraine. maybe it's a provocation so ukraine attacks belarus and then lukashenko has to join the war by sending troops.

  5. so putin starts a war that may threaten russia and his excuse is that the war threatens russia . great circular reasoning

  6. yes banned by jimmy carter a nuclear engineer of all things . duh. why don't we just copy what the french do as they reprocess spent fuel into new fuel. even have them design it for us . but noooooo we have to be different and reinvent the wheel so some high priced contractors can grease some politicians hands.

  7. so do the dutch vote for a local politician who is part of a party or does the ballot simply have the parties on the ballot? in canada you vote for a person. and if they get the most votes in that riding( district) they become the rep for that area. then the party with the most reps will become the government and the leader of that party becomes prime minister.

  11. you are lying . you would not last 1 day in the fields and how long would you work construction before you injure your back because most americans are out of shape bad. comp claims would skyrocket. and even if you did do construction are you going to work fast and hard and bust your ass. not a chance

  12. i say we need more legal immigration it's about 1 million / year . i think it should be at least 1% so 3.3 million/ year

  13.  @bush_wookie_9606  no not even close . according to 2021 census in russia there are 82,000 people who identify as jewish in russia. in ukraine it is hard to get stats exactly but up to 400,000 people in ukraine are eligible to move to israel. kiyv alone has 110,000 jewish persons. yet a 2020 european study say 40,000 in ukraine which is obviously wrong. so russia is down the line like 6th or seventh. from 2010 to 2021 russia lost half their jewish population due to emigration.

  14. well let's not forget why we went in to Iraq the second time . our intelligence said sadam had WMD's . nope so intelligence skews to what those in charge want to hear. putin wanted to hear it would be easy.

  15. national security of russia was never in jeopardy. putin couldn't stand have a democratic successful country next door controlling the black sea coast.

  23. and i just saw some democrats celebrating that a huge LNG export terminal project in the usa is now stalled for some bogus environmental reason. so the same people that want to stop russian gas to europe don't want to allow us to export because of " climate change"

  24. what massive subsidies do they give electric car makers? the us has subsidized electric car makers 35 billion so far since tesla and gm were getting their subsidies. i have seen 3 billion in china but i don't know if that is all.

  27.  @henryt4695  and he connived ukraine into giving up it's nukes for a promise we would have their back. i would bet bush would not have been that stupid.

  28. seems as usual the office guy thinks his thing is the most difficult. both are needed . the manufacturing is supremely difficult to pull off with acceptable ( profitable ) yields. you can design all over the world but the manufacturing can only be done in a single location.and there is also an art to it that is not easy to duplicate. we will see if tsmc can pull it off in the us at their new plant.

  41. yesit paid your salary that is the proper use of ppp. it saved the govt money. all that $600 top up to unemployment was obscene. it was way more than at least 60% of recipients would make while working. it was based on NY city wages.

  47. nuclear along with fuel reprocessing is a good long term option. also thorium. the chinese are building a commercial thorium reactor not just experimental. they have abundant thorium. if they are successful with it then that proves thorium is workable. the waste is much less hazardous . Candu reactors from canada can burn thorium already as well as natural un - enriched uranium.

  48. many young people who are in tech come to canada in the hope of emigrating to the us later. there the wages are higher and opportunities are much greater.

  49. ukraine has said that if russia attcks their energy grid that they will attack russian oil and gas pipelines and other facilities. they now have drones that can fly 1000 km so this is not an empty threat. so far ukraine has not attacked these so that the price of oil stays down. but if usa stops support to ukraine they have no reason to not do that. so magaheads better consider that oil may jump a whole lot if ukraine disrupts russian oil.

  50.  @kosta2177  trump would go the other way. he will remove all sanctions on russia to get oil to drop in price.
