  • Maybe this will stop Congress from abdicating their duty to the Executive Banch and start passing updates to laws. The way we had it was that every change of president allowed more cronyism to change the rules.

    Doesn’t anyone remember that Trump gutted the EPA and made them change how they worked scientifically? How the DOE decided that Coal and Gas production was the future during Trump? Did everyone forget that Trump allowed the Department of the Interior to sell gas lease for the Arctic Wildlife Preserve.

    All those changes used a Chevron defense.

    I’m wondering when the time will come to start turning into modern John Brown’s, or will the Billionaires have succeeded in outlawing all guns before people wake up?

    The modern gun control movement has been bankrolled by Billionaires for decades and used the media to sit fear of guns so that their control will never be overthrown.

    Every pleb is a consumer who must slave and consume.





  • He only bought Twitter because he was forced to or admit he was trying to manipulate the stock again.

    He bought a much higher stake, used Twitter to telegraph a higher price than it was worth. Then he didn’t use his own money when he was finally forced to purchase Twitter at the higher price he tweeted. The money he used to purchase Twitter came from countries who have stated they didn’t want Twitter to be around because it hurt their public perception when they were caught doing shady things.

    His Twitter gift started the same way the SEC sued him for market manipulation for his Tesla manipulation years before. Publishing his $420 price point then selling stock when the price goes beyond his tweeted price point.

    He was never savy enough to use shorting like the Hedge funds do, but his reach among the idiot masses to cause jumps in price to artificially male a bigger profit.








  • TL/DR: I tested out of almost 3 years of High School classes in a week to graduate. The next year the canceled the program to test out of subjects you knew.

    I went to an alternative style high school and spent my sophomore and junior years doing no real work. I spent most of my time managing the business computer lab and doing special projects with the Physics and Chemistry teacher.

    A lot of learning IT was what I learned by doing in those computer labs. I even was part of a group that created a PowerPoint Presentation with manual animation to help secure some funding for the school.

    I also showed them their flaws in the grading system when I hacked into their electronic database system showing how easily it was trying to help my friend out when he was accused of changing his grades. Because of that, they banned me from using any computer unsupervised and moved everything in the labs back to Windows 3.1, after I had moved everything to Windows 95.

    The problem was that all testing was done on their computer systems, and I was effectively banned from being able to finish the 2+ years I was missing. I ended up dropping out to work tech support at a local dial-up ISP that was at a computer store. When that fell through, because I was unprepared to manage the entire tech support group at 17 I signed up to join the Army.

    The Army needed me to have a High School diploma, so I needed to go back to the school with only a month

    I found out that they allowed you to test out of each module if you believed you knew the subject. If you passed the final exams, you got to have that grade in the .125 credit module. 8 tests per semester class. If you failed the test, you had to redo all the actual work.

    I ended up doing 8 hours a day of supervised testing, since I was still banned from touching a computer without a teacher watching. It took about a week to take every test for 3 years of High School so I could graduate. I missed graduation because I shipped out once I secured the paperwork saying I was going to graduate.

    The next school year they didn’t allow people to test out of classes. You were required to do all of the homework before taking the exams.


  • I had an issue with him finishing the Wheel of Time series.

    He doesn’t have the same grasp of description that Jordan had. That is the same problem I have with the Amazon Prime adaptation. The series adaptation is taken by people who haven’t really been immersed in the books.

    In the book The Great Hunt Thom opines about the idea of players acting out stories vs. the oral storytellers. In reading the original Jordan books his descriptions make you see every blade of grass and feel the wind on top of the towers.

    I do admit Jordan drags on at times, especially during Lord of Chaos, but some people enjoy the more descriptive words over the simplistic writing.

    He’s not a bad writer, but I’m not a big fan of his style
