They will anyway. Try to keep up. Systemic racism causes underperformance by blacks.


It's all part of the plan, keep that demographic down and dependent/subserviant to the government. It keeps the votes coming in.

Anthony, try one bottle of Evan Williams white label (aka bottled in bond). Shockinly good for the price, and another one to try for a little more is Four Roses yellow label.

Only the upper middle and above are to be mobile, as they can afford either higher gas prices or the purchase of electric cars. The rest can ride the bus.

Women’s attitude these days is “we don’t need a man”.  Or if they do, they take him for his money.

The divorce "industry" is too heavily weighted in the woman's favor these days. In the old days when women rarely worked, yes, they needed protection. But now, you have working women who marry a guy, divorce after a year or two, and even though they work are awared 1/2 of what the poor bastard worked his life to aquire. No wonder smart guys are not marrying.

I bet you're going to get a call from HR for being mysogynist for ignoring them. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Yup, some think I'm too cold to the new engineers, but the rumor mill has it that one left her old job due to supposed harasement. I've worked too long and too hard, homey don't play that.

The males are seeing this and deciding to have nothing to do with women.

We have a few new young female engineers now, I don't say shit to them in passing. No hello, no nothing, I don't even make eye contact. Not worht the trouble to be friendly these days.

You can't assume that those of us who reduce certain risks are enjoying life less.

Agree, which is why I prefaced with "to each their own!"

Now the guy is talking about ethanol disruption and how that will contribute to even higher prices at the pump.

I still think the end game is:

The upper middle and rich who can afford electric cars will be pushed that way
The lower middle and below who can't will be pushed to public transportation

To give you an example, say we need to exit right in a half mile and we are behind a car that’s just a couple miles per hour slower than we are. My husband will accelerate and go around that car

That is me (and many guys) in a nutshell. We are very similar couples.

I don’t fear dying, I fear not dying.  Young people bounce back fast from an accident but as we get older, injuries become a much bigger deal with less likelihood of full recovery, higher likelihood of chronic pain and disability.

TETO, but I'm not going to stop doing what I love for fear of what if's. Hell, some strange disease could put me in pain later in life, and if that happens I'll feel a hell of a lot better knowing I did that I did while I could still do it!

I don't understand this risk aversion as one gets older.  You've lived most of your life, what is there really to lose?  I have no quest to die in some accident nor any way, but I continue to do what I've always done, sometimes a bit more as I age.  What do I have to lose?  A few years drooling in some home?

That's me. I still fly, I still drive and ride fast, I still crew on racing sailboats, and pretty much enjoy just as I always have.

The only thing that bothers me is I can see her becoming homebound if this continues, and I yearn to travel and see the country. Any suggestion of maybe seeing someone about the issue is met with strong resistance.

For better or for worse, as they say.

Haha!!!  Well at least you’re on a pilot board.  Actually I hate to fly now too.  I DESPISE flying commercial.  And it’s been so long now since we sold our last plane, I’m not even sure I’d still enjoy flying GA because I’m getting more and more risk averse in my old age.  I don’t even like going anywhere in a car.

That's my wife to a T. The older she gets, the more risk bothers her. She gets visibly anxious in the car or plane, and just can't seem to stand it. She wants to be in control, she wants to drive, but when she does drive she gets in the right lane and drives 55, no faster. Which drives me nuts...

Oh well, it is what it is, and we'll manage.

Big Tech, Big MEDIA/TECH, China, etc.

Don't forget a big dose of Obama, he's still in the fundamental transformation game.

"gorgeous"?

not ugly, but most definitely not "gorgeous"

Agree, in some of the photos where she doesn't have the 2hr makeup job she looks decidedly plain.
