Here's an easy fact though, in 20 years of war in Afghanistan, a US fighter jet was never shot down. Two have been shot down in Iran in like under 40 days iirc.

I find Indian news outlets to be anti-whitewashed. It's sad we have to dig around international news outlets to find the whole truth and even then, I know I'm not getting all of it. We have seen almost nothing about damage to Israel, which we know is much greater than they want to admit.

He gets bad press from like one major outlet (NBC because he has no way to control that company) and everyone else is either Trump propaganda or ignoring the parts we should be seeing and that's being kind.

There is basically no coverage of the Iran war that didn't come out of Trump's mouth.

BYD is a Chinese car manufacturer linked to slave labor and dangerous cars.

BYD is a Chinese car brand. They're accused of slave labor and poor quality/dangerous vehicles.

This is one of those few things that I've been torn on for decades. As I mentioned, I drank it as a child, I'm not dead but it's still something that can easily be spread in schools in a single day. It's not really different than skipping some vaccines and I don't want my grandkids around it.

I'm not telling you that you can't drink raw milk but I don't see it as the same thing as right to provide food for your family. My main concern here is children who are more easily susceptible and can spread this to a whole school in a single day and I overwhelmingly support vaccine requirements.

They're not all stupid; many are just as poorly educated as someone from a 3rd world country that doesn't have schools.

If we could educate them, they wouldn't have voted for Trump. We're refunding $166 billion for tariffs, but they still don't want to know what a tariff is.

are more that are as bad if not worse: BP, Wells Fargo, BYD, United Health, Amazon, Palantir, Fox News, and more that I would have to look up. Most of the problem with Tesla is funding Musk's evil rather than Tesla itself being the most evil.

Yes, you really can.

Nestle Waters.

Boom, I didn't even have to think very long about it. Among it's many crimes against humanity, they drill wells in poor African areas, install meters, and charge people who have no money for water they need to live.

I had to think about these but here

Rape, beatings, torture, and so much more. The place has been sued and lost like a dozen times in the last few decades and no matter how many times they replace mgmt, it still happens because kiddie jail doesn't actually work.

My wife is a lawyer who has fought them as well. It will happen soon.

You don't get to disagree with me. There is no such thing as alternative facts, and raw chicken, egg, and milk all come with risks of highly contagious diseases.

The FDA, CDC, NIH, and more classify raw milk in the same category as eating raw chicken. You can eat raw chicken too, but should you?

Flowers have a shelf life of only a few days yet almost all of them come from corporations and are shipped in from out of the country, every single day.

If a corporation smells profits, they'll eventually abuse it.

Still nothing about the dangers though huh? So you just ignore the bad parts?

Yep, you're right, I forgot about that but it's still a secret ballot by both Houses and all members of the legislature. She's not just picked by the Governor.

I wasn't saying she isn't a part of the establishment, she is a shining example of it.

Maine literally doesn't have an emergency place to bring children having mental health issues, and by their own admission, more than 90% of all kids in LC have mental health issues, and almost every one of them has an addiction of some kind. So, parents only choice is LC, out of state, or nothing.

I'm still pissed about CMP.

Also, I've been trying to get Long Creek kiddie prison for years, and we could have during her term, but she didn't want to invest in its replacement, which would be a children's emergency mental health facility, with a locking ward and much more appropriate for kids.

You don't need to keep repeating this. It's not in dispute. I'm not saying you can't have raw milk, I'm saying you shouldn't be able to. This isn't a whole lot different from saying you don't think kids should have vaccines to go to school.

Salmonella is HIGHLY contagious.

Yes, I was there and voted for it, so you don't really need to repeat it again.

How about this for thought - raw milk made by corporations. Gross.

Here's my "again..." you seem to want to overlook the dangers, like it being as risky as undercooked chicken. That's got nothing to do with freedom

We elect our AG which has nothing to do with who we elect as Gov. The only thing that says is that regardless of party in power, everyone believed she was the state's best lawyer. She's done some good but she got on my bad side as soon as she won Gov over CMP and I've had many issues with her since.

The problem is rolling the dice to see if the next President allows this or not. It's not a good investment to set up expensive operations in contentious areas that might just be replanned in a few years. I would not make investments based on changes by Trump. You'll lose millions and deserve it.

The FBI would be the one to handle any punishment, and as you can see, our government is useless when there is a criminal in charge of our law enforcement departments.

As far as I'm concerned, it would be easier and preferred to eliminate the position of President than to fix what's wrong with it.

it was disgusting. As far as I'm concerned, the milk of an animal is not meant for humans. If you're getting it from the farm next door, no big deal, but in a supermarket? No, I don't support. You cannot get around its dangers, which is why it used to be illegal to sell. Sorry.

drink that warm, it went from cow to table when I was a kid.

The availability of non-corporate food is important to me, but this comes with all the same risks as eating undercooked chicken, which is the same as eating raw chicken.

When I was a kid, this shit came from cow to table, warm, and

🙄 Among many other things you can get salmonella from it. This is literally the reason why we tell people to ensure they fully cook chicken. But you can get it from raw milk. It's considered one of the riskiest foods you can legally buy in the US by agencies like the FDA and CDC.

Oh! lol I didn't even think of that guy. I'm sorry my brain went another way with that.

I still like the part where Mills sued LePage so I don't hate her, I just don't want her to retire already. She's a decade past federal retirement age.

IMO most light duty trucks are fine being in passenger class. There are sedans with longer hoods, more weight, poor turning radius, etc. Now we're talking about addressing issues that just exist on vehicles in general, not to say that's a bad thing, just more things.

The auto industry would fight.

I'm not really a fan of raw milk and think it's akin to telling people to eat uncooked chicken which is why it used to be against the law to sell it but, it's not a communicable disease so 🤷‍♂️

I'm a big fan of the law, just not all of it's applications.

JFC. 🙄

You go ahead and vote for the woman who will 100% lose to Collins and even if by some miracle she were to win, would be 79 years old when we swear her in. In 2016 Bernie CRUSHED Hillary in Maine. Now, side by side, Bernie has anointed this guy and Mainers have responded loud and clear. 🤷‍♂️ ✌️

When she was AG in Cali, she put a disproportionate number of Black men in prison for marijuana crimes compared to white men. That anger showed in 2020 when she had to drop out of the primary, practically before it started.

Being a Black woman in a racist and sexist US didn't help TBH.

Try snowplowing 50 homes after a snowstorm in the smaller truck.

I get the arguments. At best, I would support a middle license between passenger and commercial to drive full-size pickups but millions of adults own and use their pickups for designed purposes without jacking it up and 50k LED lumens
