At least RFK didn't suggest people should drink bleach - at least as far as I know.

I would hope you are right. But in the few articles which I read not even one had something like: In principle that is a good idea, but it should be done by someone else. I think we all could live a lot happier together if we would try to agree on what we can agree and then look at the details. Only because one detail is not so good does not mean the whole idea is bad.

Who really understands Elon Musk. Who was ever in the situation to be the richest man on earth and know how that feels? I have some ideas about that guy. But do I understand him? No. And I am pretty sure I am not alone.

Having a narcissist serial liar convicted criminal as their leader is a very bad idea. Or do you think that is smart?

I think it will take a long time before places like Haward will lose money. The reputation won't go away what fast. Lots of parents will still be proud to send their children to that place.

And that's how it looks like after articles like above.

Loanshark is a job for influential Thai people only. When will those foreigners understand this easy rule?

Not exactly. From what I see and read the top US universities are full of DEI administration. And the act accordingly. All these people won't just be fired. And who would fire them? The woke DEI firing other woke DEI? That won't happen. From what I understand Harward and other graduates were highly looked after for many years because the fact that they were admitted to Harward meant that they have to be pretty good. That is not the case anymore. It seems the main criteria now is to be high on the DEI score like a trans lesbian mixed black and native something. Obviously some DEI HR departments will hire those people after they graduate. But others, like i.e. Musk want qualified people.

Not everybody, only the stupid, 😉 And even while I dislike Trump, he and the GOP have some good ideas. And some bad ideas. Same as the DEMs, some good idea and some bad ideas. The point from this task is that we can dislike Trump and/or Harris and still see that some of their politics and not so bad.

Personally, I have no problem with smart women, and I don't care about their skin color. But when a job description is that the job is only available for women of color, then that rules out more than 90% or the people who might be more qualified.

DEI isn't dead. And it won't be dead anytime soon. I hope the situation will get better. But there are just too many people who live from being part of DEI that it will be difficult to get rid of them all. American top universities are a good example how bad it is and how difficult it is to reset the situation. Some people say the DEI infested universities can't be saved anymore. It's bad.

Elon Musk is not exactly a bureaucrat. I am not a fan of that guy, but he certainly has some good idea. And he knows how to control cost. There is a reason why he does space exploration much cheaper than the NASA. Will he be able to make the government more efficient? I don't know. But I like the idea that he will try. Let's see what will happen.

We all have our preferences and there is nothing wrong with that. But it seems many people, in this forum and elsewhere, see their own side only as good and the others only as bad. Trump hired Musk to make the US government more efficient. I would have though everybody should be delighted by such a move. Or is there anybody out there who does not think the US and many other governments waste too much money? If the DEMs would have created such a department, I guess many DEM voters would be delighted. But now, it seems many DEMs and the DEM media don't like this at all. Why is it so difficult to agree that a good idea is a good idea, even if the others came up with this idea? One can argue if Musk has some conflicts of interests. But that doesn't change the fact that it would be great to save lots of tax-payers money. The above is just one example. It seems to apply to many supporters of many political parties all over the world.

Shouldn't it be the job of the board to make sure all is fine? I hope the police will check if the board members did their job. If not, jail them!

It seems companies are happy to spend their money without discount. Why give them extra discount? That doesn't make any sense.

Did any journalist ask him what happened to his promise to stay out of politics and play with his grandchildren? Or did he promise that when he was sick, and now, after his miraculous recovery, he is just himself again?

Just move anything that is not capable of at least 50km/h to the sidewalk. Free up the streets!

The "victims" who shouted to kill all the Arabs? And the IDF soldiers who actually killed many of them? Victims? Yeah, sure.

Yes, there is plenty of information out there. This happened and that happened. Do I know if all the reporting is correct? Do I know if they tell the whole truth? Do I know if the order of events is the way they report it? Lots of media report a lot which is also reported by someone else. Is it true? We just don't know.

One of my friends is a journalist. He thought about visiting the USA for some big event to write about it. And then he received from the US embassy a very long list with questions. He didn't answer them and let someone else do the job. I also wouldn't want to tell those Americans everything. Just ask the NSA, they know it anyhow.

Ask AI to do that for you: https://www.perplexity.ai/ Friendships between different generations are common and provide significant benefits, often overlooked compared to age-gap romantic relationships. A YouGov survey reveals that nearly 40% of adults have close friends from different generations, which helps combat loneliness and enhance well-being by offering diverse perspectives. Workplaces often facilitate these connections, as noted by social psychologist Dr. Libby Drury, who emphasizes their role in challenging ageism. Personal stories, like that of journalist Katie Jenkins and her editor Angus, highlight how such friendships can evolve into meaningful support systems. Research indicates that younger individuals gain a broader view of aging through older friends, while older adults experience increased happiness and vitality. Ultimately, these intergenerational friendships foster empathy and understanding across age divides.

How do you know that the Israelis didn't start it? Personally, I don't know. The information is conflicting.

No. I am not from the USA, and I have no desire to ever visit that strange country.

How do you know? Is "western" media always correct? And is "Arab media" wrong? I think it is extreme difficult to find out what really happened and in which order. If 10 media organizations report X, that unfortunately doesn't mean that X really happened. Or maybe it happened, but on another day or in another town, etc. My comments above show that there is evidence that the Israeli hooligans behaved like hooligans. Who threw the first stone? I don't know. Maybe Arabs, maybe Israelis, maybe some of them, maybe many of them. My problem with most media is the fact that Israel and Jews seem to get away with a lot more violence than others, because we should not forget what happened to them 80 years ago. Personally, I remember what happened 80 years ago, and it was horrific. But that is no reason to pretend now what Israelis and Jews are always only the innocent victims.
