Arguing with MAGA
My wife and her oldest son (very MAGA) had a Donnybrook. They avoid talking politics for this reason. Listening to his postulations was difficult. It’s the same talking points as on FOX. 1. Give it time 2. He’ll make American great again.
My rebuttal, I asked him if he took any economics in college? Because I did and there will be a tipping point where the economy will slide too far down a slippery slope to just bounce back. Plus the broken relationships with trade partners will need more than a simple sorry. I then asked when was this supposed great time in America? Based on the history I know of America and the world before, there was never a magical time. Every period of time has had challenges.
Maybe a lot of people are just trying to blame society for poor decisions they made in their own lives. There was no magical Shanghai-la time when everyone had it easy. Quite the contrary
It ended up with my wife finally hanging up.
The quote below comes to mind.
period of time in the past.
Interesting tidbit. Both iKona and The Blahlas of Keaukaha have albums with the same name; Ka Lua O Ka Manawa which means The Second Time. Bernard Kalua was in both groups and it was the 2nd album for both.
I save my recordings as a complete album with no breaks (side 1 / side 2). Then I do a 2nd version where I break out the tracks.
Guess I’m kind of lucky. I don’t have an addictive personality. No drugs.no gaming. I can have one drink bcause I like the taste of good Irish whisky, a cool lager on a hot day, a Guinness just because or a slightly chilled Beaujolais. Don’t need the latest tech. Really do like a good nap though.
I guess as the deprecate NWS we need to go outside and look might need to go back to buying the local paper too.
Food analogy. That CR that was passed is like being offered a steak dinner before heading out on a trek in a barren land. The catch is the steak is spoiled and you are likely to get sick. They’ll also be taking your shoes before you go. You also can’t call for help.
On the docket for recording from vinyl to digital. 3 from my collection and 1 acquired. Some of the songs on these albums are on compilations, but the entire albums are available on streaming services.

With the cloture passing, the federal government will be privatized and given to the oligarchs, much like Russia. We will no longer have any say to services we have taken for gtanted as a right. That vote was another nail in the coffin. I will campaign against Brian Schatz.
