Until the real nutters took over when President BlackMan was elected, I had only heard of the Alinsky book in 70’s Poli Sci classes at UCSB. I’d been around progressive politics my whole life and never heard anybody talk about it. But for the past several years, it’s a regular topic among the nutters. SMH.

Good lord counselor, I'm not serious...you should lighten up and know when your chain is being yanked, Ya humorless wank.
UCSB ?
You probably had something to do with burning down the frickin' BofA, and you claim you know nothing about rules for radicals...right!

Right? I think I've been saying since I joined that when the Obama momentum ends, after a year, we are going to be looking at a Trump economy...protectionism, low morale among workers, instability, etc....and that stuff is starting to sink in.

It's amazing how you pull out your Crystal Ball at just the right time. So moving forward, any gains or positive shifts in jobs or the economy will be directly attributed to President Trump since, in your words, the momentum from the Obama years are gone.
 
""Today SpaceX achieved a spectacular and historic success.

Seven years ago, the Augustine commission said that NASA's Moon program had to be cancelled, because the development of the necessary heavy lift booster would take 12 years and 36 billion dollars.

SpaceX has now done that, on its own dime, in half the time and a twentieth of the cost. And not only that, but the launch vehicle is three quarters reusable.

This is a revolution. The naysayers have been completely refuted.

The Moon is now within reach. Mars is now within reach.

The moment is at hand to open the space frontier. America should seize the time.

And to the SpaceX team, let us offer this salute:

You did it. They said it couldn't be done, but you did it. You made it look easy, but we know it wasn't.

You took your knocks. You took your failures. But you fought it through.

Fortune favors the brave. Fortune favors the smart. But most of all, fortune favors the tough.

Talk about the right stuff. You guys are great.

Hats off!""

Agreed. But America's greatness now is not on reaching toward the stars. It's building a tall concrete wall thousands of miles along mountain ranges and rivers at billions of dollars in American taxpayer cost to ensure thousands of species of animals no longer have open habitats to continue their life cycles of tens of thousands of years.

Oh, to also end illegal migration 100% as crossing these desolate regions is the only way migrants illegally enter the USA.

Welcome to the party Alice. We could have built 5 to 10 walls a month with 3 rounds/5 years of QE. Elon will do just fine with the Billions in taxpayer subsidies he is getting to spread around his companies.

They like to tell people what they think and how to live their lives . . . looking at the crowd behind Trump they really have no room to talk about either, especially the later.

Soooooo, you're not serious, but maybe he's an arsonist? So you pull out the same old tired nutter perceived slight, then say you were kidding? Have all the other nutters been, "not serious" as well during the last administration?
 
To Save the Rhinos, Legalize the Horn Trade
The best option available is to let rhino owners harvest their horns and to offer a far more humane, sustainable product in order to compete with the black market.

The reality of the current situation is that consumers want rhino horn. To the buyers, it doesn't matter if it's legal or not and, as a result, it is leading the animals to extinction. The best option available is to let rhino owners harvest their horns and to offer a far more humane, sustainable product in order to compete with the black market, much like how American farmers saved the bison.

When we look at the rhino horn trade debate, many people see selfless animal saviors pitted against greedy rhino owners who want to make money off of horns. But the real debate is whether we want to continue failed policies leading to rhino extinction or if we want living rhinos who, every so often, have horns removed to be sold to fund their own conservation and population expansion.

The LA Times Business May 2015


Elon Musk's growing empire is fueled by $4.9 billion in government subsidies

Los Angeles entrepreneur Elon Musk has built a multibillion-dollar fortune running companies that make electric cars, sell solar panels and launch rockets into space.

And he's built those companies with the help of billions in government subsidies.

Tesla Motors Inc., SolarCity Corp. and Space Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, together have benefited from an estimated $4.9 billion in government support, according to data compiled by The Times. The figure underscores a common theme running through his emerging empire: a public-private financing model underpinning long-shot start-ups.

"He definitely goes where there is government money," said Dan Dolev, an analyst at Jefferies Equity Research. "That's a great strategy, but the government will cut you off one day."
