There are tons of great rock bands to discover, and it's probably easier to find them than any time I can remember. Just because stuff isn't Top40 or played on radio stations that run endless loops of the same 50 songs written 50 years ago doesn't mean it's not there. It just means you stopped looking.

Pests become a factor as well. A lot of automobile manufacturers switched to plant based wiring insulation, and now mice and other rodents are known to destroy the wiring because of the materials being food essentially. I'm not pro petroleum by any means, but stuff like this seems to get overlooked until it's a big problem.

What else is there for someone with vast wealth to do but act like a pathetic little boy? /s It kills me how these idiots can't just shut up and enjoy a life that 99.99 percent of the world can't even imagine.

People are still being hospitalized at a much higher rate than car accidents yet you probably wear a seat belt and stop at stoplights right? Why is basic safety when it comes to Covid so hard for people to understand? Nobody is " freaking out" by practicing basic hygiene around a deer carcass.

No, because the ownership would still be private, they would just have to pay their fair share of taxes and make sacrifices like any other patriotic citizen has for the last 100 years while they got subsidies and free infrastructure.

Countries should cut gas taxes completely for consumers and make up the difference by taxing oil company profits while enforcing price gouging regulations. Let the rich shoulder the burden for a change.

Exactly. He played his grift as far as he could. Now that he can't get paid to speak at GOP rallies and be on talk shows he will go back to his day job.

"With all the resources and technology and brain power" they should have been building desalination plants for the last 20 years.
