Trump needs to have someone that he listens to make him understand that he is yesterday's man, and retire. It's not like he needs the money. I hope he isn't able to stand again, as we don't need another 4 years of the attacks, which is the likely outcome if he did win. At worst, he'd split the vote and let the Democrats win again.

Not many do. Lots of Sunday Christians don't give their second coat to the poor. IMO it wasn't so much about his Christian values ( or lack of ) that they supported him for, but rather the values of his opponent that they didn't want in any shape or form. With that election it always came back to voting for the least worst candidate.

OK, but why pay for yacht crew to fly if it was sailed by them?

Indeed, they are using more German dirty coal instead.

The translation of BM in google is probably not the BM you are referring to, so an explanation of that in words would be appreciated.

I'm unable to open the link in the OP, but he was pretty famous about 30 years ago.

NZ has large areas of the country with no proper public transport, so unless they can drive, how can they do the shopping, or take kids to school etc? I imagine it's like that in many countries. Problem is that it's mainly townies that make the rules in government.

IMO this is nothing. Once AI/ robotics comes on stream there are going to be a lot more than that out of jobs.

Not being a digital engineer I have no idea. What sort of contract did they have?

Real job? I don't think she knows what that is. IMO every farmer in the country will be celebrating.

Neither party has a valid excuse for the debt. Enough blame to go around for all politicians last 30 or so years.

Not all of America, just certain parts.

Who said all the news is bad? There will be cheering going on all over NZ. The only downside is I don't get to wear my MAGA ( Make Adhern Go Away ) hat before the election. PS I had to google it in case it was fake news, but seems it's true, hoorah! BTW, the writing was on the wall, and she knew she is losing popularity fast as. I guess she thought it prudent to resign now, rather than be humiliated in the election later this year. Where to now? The consensus among those I talk to about her is a job at the UN. Time will tell.

One can safely assume she didn't pay for her voyage to the UN, or the crew that flew, ergo someone else is paying, and the piper gets to dictate the tune. BTW, it's nothing to do with lying or not, that turn people off her message.

Children working in mines has a lot to do with electric cars, Greta is about climate change and stopping IC engines, electric cars are promoted to replace IC cars, ergo it's not a deflection. I will not respond to any further posts from you that accuse me of deflecting. Bye.

My response to your post was in the context of your reply to a post that included " Maybe a visit to one of those dreadful mines in the Congo where kids are working for peanuts in hazardous conditions?". Ergo, IMO it was not a deflection.

The Ukrainian's don't have them already so if American systems were used to attack Russia directly that would, IMO, lead to an escalation of the war, and IMO that is why America has not provided such before. I'm sure they will come with "strings attached" as where they can be used when they do arrive.

Obviously I was making a suggestion. I wasn't there. However, even if they can't take out "that sort of missile" they may have tried. Anyway, as pointed out by other posters they are inaccurate. I don't know if that is correct, but why would they try and take out a block of flats with an expensive missile? The likely reason, as also already pointed out, is that they were aiming to take out some more significant target, and it went astray.

what to expect at Davos 2023 IMO nothing to benefit the peasants common folk. IMO everything about making the rich richer.

Doesn't MS make billions in profit? Yet the first thing they do is sack the people that made that profit possible.

Wrong. IMO the attacks are because she is apparently being used to promote an agenda. She was quite young when she ranted at the UN, and that's not the sort of thing normal young people do. The attacks would happen regardless of the gender. Seems some are looking to stop the opposing side with the "misogynistic" label, rather like shutting down opposition with the "racist" label. BTW I'm socialist, not right wing and I have no time for her.

Can't be that famous if I've never heard of 38 degrees. BTW, IMO if alternatives take over from IC engines it'll be because they are more profitable. I doubt the boards of Ford or GM are particularly concerned with what Greta has to say.

IMO the American dream is to become rich and live a life of luxury. Elvis certainly did that. God or bad is entirely dependent on the individual.

Fair enough. Perhaps I should have said "As you say, the documents themselves are not the important thing here. IMO it's the getting exposed doing the same as Trump while lambasting Trump for it that's the issue.

While an air defense missile may not have caused the damage, it may have made the large missile it was aimed at fall to the ground and that was what caused the damage. Such things happen in war.
