An “engineer “ specializing in producibility probably wanted to make sure that it was easy to manufacture

The biggest lie told in America is the lie that socialism will cure everything wrong with people to self obsessed to actually think about what bullshit they have been fed.

Liars and hypocrites. That's all these people are. It's trendy to be Communist, Woke, Trans, Green, etc., so these people promote shit they KNOW NOTHING ABOUT, to seem cool.
Good for this guy for outing them and making them run away.

In keeping with thread title … saw today that public school teachers in Portland, Oregon ALL are on strike today.
Their demands:
—23% pay increase (well yes, prices have shot up enormously recently … we’re all seeing that)
—Better tools for discipline (yes again … at last! Crack down!)
—Housing for students with no homes “so each student can get the best public school education possible.”
WHAT??
I’m reminded of the wonderful G.K. Chesterton quote, “The Progressive, generation after generation, ties himself up into new knots, and then roars and yells aloud to be untied.”

But there are practically no standards to even get a diploma in Oregon anymore. What do the teachers even do during the day? Fucking retards. I lived and worked in Portland 20 years ago. It was a decent place then. Plenty left and weirdos, but not crazy in your face and full on lunatic like it is now.

Too true, Bob.

Their concept of discipline is probably Ritalin and mandatory sexual training beginning in kindergarten.
Building bill clinton's next generation of sexual partners.

Yes, they’re constantly screwing with requirements in Oregon so no one gets left out, even non-performers. In eastern Oregon, though, most people are sane. That’s why eastern Oregon wants to become part of Idaho. I believe they’re gaining some traction. I’m in eastern Washington and would love to join Idaho!
I learned the other day that cursive is not taught in school anymore. The rationale is that everyone is using keyboards and screens. But a teacher I talked to said the kids barely are taught to print. She has trouble reading their printing, it’s so bad.

I’ve never seen that quote, but it’s perfect.
1. “Black lives matter! Let’s riot and steal shit!” Result: Damages race relations, highest rise in crime, defund police, assaults on Asians and whites. Who do they blame? White racism.
2. “From the river to the sea! Kill all Jews. Free Palestinians!” Result: War, identify neo-Nazis on campuses and in the democrat party, suspicion of every Muslim. Who to blame? White Islamophobia.
Wash, rinse, repeat.

Anybody that can quote G.K. Chesterton is OK in my book. ;D

I belong to our local chapter of the Chesterton Society; in fact, I was a founding member. When I walked into the first meeting I knew I had found my tribe. Basically, overthinkers seeking Truth, and faithful to Christ, who need to talk to each other about deep topics and have the other person actually listen interestedly, and even possibly disagree amicably. It’s refreshing.
And there’s always beer. So funny. The group refuses to meet anywhere without beer. We’ve had to move a few times and the availability of beer is a serious topic. But what else would you expect from Catholics, who run podcasts called “Pints with Aquinas” and “Theology on Tap?”
Chesterton was a Catholic convert and all the people in my chapter are Catholic except me. In fact, our founder was reading Chesterton’s The Everlasting Man, and walked out into the other room and told his wife, “I’m going to have to become a Catholic.” I’ve acquired a deep respect for many aspects of Catholic tenets and I have to say, these people are simply amazing.
The Society’s publication is called Gilbert, and it is indescribably wonderful, with serious articles and fun ones too …. very Chestertonian. There are Chesterton academies sprinkled around the globe and I wish there were more. New ones are added each year. We almost had one here, but the would-be founders of it, a husband and wife who are both PhDs in Statistics, were driven out of state to find jobs after their company, Pacific Northwest National Laboratories, mandated the Covid jab.
I could go on and on. But Chesterton gives one hope and joy in a dark world. He saw much similar to what we’re seeing now and wrote often about it. Always with hope and eye to what truly is needed for human flourishing.
If there’s a chapter near you, I highly recommend checking it out!

Businesses jumping ship in San Francisco, city official opines that he is optimistic but “We’re just not recovering fast enough.”
Hey, SF officials. Did you ever consider policies that would NOT sink your city so far into dysfunction that it would take decades to recover from them?
Article says the business owner is ignored by the city officials … “They care about bike lanes, nonprofits, safe injection sites. … They have just ignored small business . . . I’m just done with San Francisco and the bullsh** here. It’s out of control.”

The Leftist, Marxists are running every city into the ground in the name of climate change and social justice. These people are just nuts. Cities are unsafe, too costly for businesses and most people and financially insolvent. They're broken and people are fleeing them.

Gee... and cnn says this is all Trump's fault.
You mean there are other possible reasons??
