    Your beloved BLOTUS managed to overcome that hurdle.

    No, it is not. Anyone who argues that Uranium One was a crime knowing it was not can be charged criminally as an accessory after the fact. Everyone who does should be so charged.

    Mueller put Mikerin in prison because Uranium 1 bribery, and extortion is a crime JS. Mueller declined to prosecute 11 Russian co-conspirators, and expelled them to Russia where they remain safe from US extradition. Rosenstein gagged the FBI informant who could have stopped the deal and helped convict the other 11 Russian spies.

    I must admit, you make excellent points with this commentary, Te. In the many years I've been working with IT, one clear dynamic is that both hardware and software become increasingly self-developing and self-sufficient in very important ways.

    For one thing, hardware is made more and more reliable, sturdy, and long-lasting. Remember when hard drives were so fragile that you dared not move them at all for fear of causing a read-head crash? Also, firmware is made much simpler to implement and use. Remember what a miserable pain in the ass it used to be to install and configure an old 2400-baud 'phone'-style modem?

    Everything is so much faster, more reliable, and less expensive than it used to be even 20 years ago -- and in another 20 years (when a lot of you Millennials are getting close to retirement) we'll look back on the 'technology' of 2019 as being laughably "prehistoric".

    It will, indeed, be a "Brave New World", and the computers, AI, and robotics that will function so very well in it won't (WON'T) need a lot of 'hand-holding' from us!

    Hint: 'Sex with robots' is going to be an astounding growth-industry in the next ten years (or less). A peek: https://www.mirror.co.uk/tech/hyper-realistic-sex-robot-customisable-14086068

    JFK wasn't as well liked as some would have you believe. It is still a mystery who ordered the hit on him, Castro, Sam Giancana, the mob, the CIA, LBJ, the Russians among some.

    *LOL*

    Have you even read about that? Google it, find a fact-check site, and read about it. That bullshit claim comes from some freak's imagination.

    Artificial Intelligence To Create 58 Million New Jobs By 2022, Says Report. Machines and algorithms in the workplace are expected to create 133 million new roles, but cause 75 million jobs to be displaced by 2022 according to a new report from the World Economic Forum (WEF) called “The Future of Jobs 2018.”Sep 18, 2018

    LOL!

    I think that you just figured out where all imaginary new jobs are going to be springing up! ;)

    Probably a growth industry for in home servicing of sex robots. There might even be banks willing to make loans for them and then a 2nd hand market for used sex robots.

    What a load of self serving bovine excrement!

    Of course the tech industry and corporations would produce that kind of disinformation. Note that they did not specify what any of those "new jobs" would actually be because they do not exist.

    Do you recall the similar bovine excrement about the retraining that all of those displaced factory workers were supposed to receive after the Republicans passed their "free trade" crap that OFFSHORED MILLIONS of JOBS! How many of those people ever found comparable or better jobs? It was around 5% while the rest ended up working dead end fast food jobs or becoming opioid addicts receiving welfare benefits.

    Just ask yourself WHY would a trucking company hire more people after all of it's trucks are automated and no longer require drivers or dispatchers? It will just fire all of the current drivers and dispatchers and POCKET the payroll difference which amounts to something like a $160 BILLION WINDFALL PROFIT for the trucking industry as a whole.

    Same thing for call centers and radiologists and everything else that AI can replace.

    I fell and jammed my hand a couple days ago and went to the emergency room. They called me up and I went into a room and the tech laid my hand on a plate hooked up to a computer and took 3 pictures in a minute. He told me the x-rays were already in the Radiologists hands and they would be calling me in shortly. It use to take up to a day to have those x-rays read. So we used a tech to take the x-ray and a radiologist to read the x-ray just like before but how many jobs were created writing the code and program to allow such an advancement to the medical field? We cannot live in the stone ages forever. Science and innovation that makes the lives better for millions cannot or should not be held back because a few will not benefit. At the turn of the last century we had the industrial revolution and now we are living in the information revolution. Embrace it.

    Once that radiology program is written how many jobs are DISPLACED by it? Thousands? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands?

    What jobs are there for those OUT OF WORK radiologists?

    Selling apples on street corners?

    Mikerin was not part of the silly thesis that Clinton was involved in Uranium One, PI.

    You do not know what the 11 Russians were about at all, do you?

    I know everything JS. I know Mueller expelled every Russian spy who could implicate Clinton. I know Clinton sent Mueller to deliver uranium to the same crooked Rosatom officials the FBI had under surveillence for Uranium 1 bribery, extortion, and kickbacks. I know Mueller's delivery was a virtue signal to Clinton's Uranium 1 crime syndicate. I've posted dozens of citations over the course of the last 3 years.

    I know that PI knows the far right extremist talking points. I know that PI may even believe the silliness he is writing. That's ok: go bay down the rabbit hole.

    You still the radiologists to read the x-rays. No jobs lost but wait time for results much quicker. Look at all the number of patients that can be seen quicker in waiting rooms if more and more digital programs are applied to other things like blood tests, cultures etc. If you haven't been in a emergency room lately, you should peek in, don't look too long or you may see someone die. It wasn't long ago that only the rich or those with pull went to college. The job market has been more demanding for educated workers that we now have millions of kids getting a higher education. The field has opened up underneath for the less educated to get jobs as welders, roofers, pipefitters, etc. We may go back to were the teenage kid will be able to get the retail jobs available. I see great strides in hiring of visa workers in the medical field. The jobs are here. We just need to match up the education to go with them. There are plenty of S**t jobs available for the Pink Floyd "we don't need no education, we don't need no thought control" types running our streets now. There are many choices.

    True that. By and large, IMO, the 2 candidates we get to choose from typically is not the one most Americans would like to have for their choice.
    Money and the system, IMO, has rigged it to get a candidate each party wants there.

    I may have a bias in that opinion, as the candidate I usually want is not in the general.
    McCain was one who I did want, but I backed off with Palin as his choice.
    But without a doubt, wanted of Bush2.

    I think the last JFK-esque candidate we had was Reagan (even if you're not conservative). He was charming, a gentleman, had a great sense of humor, inspiring. Even if you couldn't support him based upon policy/political bent, he was hard not to like.

    I think he would roll over in his grave if he knew how hateful politics have become.

    As for today, I really wouldn't mind seeing the rise of a third party in the middle made up of independents and moderate R's and D's.

    I agree Ike was smart and made the job of President appear leisurely for which even Moi :oldman: in his youth criticized.


    Ike's major, uber major oopsy was falling in with the Dullus brothers
    and their influences.
    There existed better solutions to a containment policy that supported criminal dictators, coup d'etats of democratically elected gov't, etc.


    And JFK was so very much "prettier".

    Moi :oldman:


    And Ike's Weak Policy
    Re.: :flagcanada: of course.

    Yes! Yes! And Yes!

    And I very much disliked Reagan as my governor.



    So many were looking for the
    JFK Reagan effect from Obama but
    it just wasn't there, was it?
    Please, not a cheap shot.
    An observation.

    I dare not express MAGA and Trump. :rolleyes:

    Reagan is revered in California. Like all the Republican governors California has elected [and there are many], Reagan was pragmatic and secular [pro women's rights/ abortion, opposed any anti-Gay measures, enacted significant environmental protections and has the record for raising taxes the most] and this was in the 1960's. Jerry Brown followed Reagan as governor.

    I agree with you about Obama. "Candidate" Obama came across as inspiring and positive in his message.

    But once in office, he came across to me as a dour holier-than-thou preacher, always lecturing the country on "our values". His message became darker, I thought, always reminding us that we were "making progress", but not that we have a great country and great people in it. No, we needed to be constantly preached to about what our values are, and he would tell us that we were "making progress." I got really sick of that.
