I am a bit surprised by Shania...she gained some weight...very round face...just saying
 
As for Neil Young, as much as I like his time with CSN, he gave us:
Southern Man
Rockin' In the Free World
And now, he's claimed dual citizenship. Why would he want to be counted as part of a country he really seems to despise? Maybe he thinks he can affect a bigger influence by being a US citizen... 'Sorry, I just don't care for "celebrities" voicing such viral political views, since so many people are sheep when it comes to what they base their thoughts and votes on. Just look at our movie actors and the way they sway huge throngs of people.
Rush; I'll take Rush. Fantastic music, and no political bent in their music comes to mind.

Yeah but Southern Man gave us Sweet Home Alabama. :)

I really don't have a problem with musicians and their political views so long as they do it in their songs. Some of the best songs have been "protest" songs. It's when they babble on at their concert -- shut up and sing.

And Rush is "alt right." :) Early influence was Ayn Rand. Best lyric ever written: "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."
 
The new model S will have 500 mile range and 200 mph. Wife’s model Y has 315 mile range and takes 30 mins to recharge I love a big hemi challenger just as the next guy and I’m not a tree hugger (usually) but these cars are cool and fast as heck. The battery technology is moving very quickly so you may see a suburban
with 10 hours of range very soon.

I built a few Teslas on their site. Wife has a 2017 Subaru Crosstrek that we bought new. Has 48,000 on it now and passively thinking about trading it. Been a great car but those Teslas just look so cool

It’s the way it’s going. Batteries/EV’s would grow organically however government has to get its tentacles in it first. Cool car. My youngest’s friend has one.

Yeah. My buddy just got one. It came with a a set of Irons. :)
 
Okay you guys. If that's the way we're going, I have to admit I've been seriously considering one of these: Zero DSR. Be sure to scan the "Specs" page. Of course, I'll be keeping the Norton around, but the idea that this could be charged by a solar bank definitely piques my interest!

Listen to the lyrics to "Trees" and I dare you to try not to think about all of the PC garbage we've been putting up with.

If you had the initiative to do a quick Google search you would have answered all your own questions. So lazy!

Your intention is obvious, though - to pretend exceptionalism where none exists. Canada manufactures cars with Honda, Toyota and others (G.M. is spending $billions setting up an EV factory in Ontario, Canada) engineered wood products, farm machinery and lots of aluminum among many other things. Canada never starts wars. But what war has the U.S. ever truly won, except with the contributions of allies? As for liberation, ask people in France, Belgium and the Netherlands about Canada (but never say you're an American.) The Avro Aero was a pioneering jet fighter. The DeLorean appears in the film Back to the Future. Many technological innovations began in Canada such as the telephone and BlackBerry smart phones. The Canadarm has been used on the space station for decades. But you wouldn't know that. Canada has made exceptional contributions in the arts but you wouldn't know about that, either. And Canadians will never embarrass themselves, beating their chests, bragging about how great they are.

Mass shootings? Not great. Your response to Covid has proven you are not that great. Actually, the worst. Trump as your President? Great?- Really? Was that your best and brightest? Violent protests and the attack on your Capital? Yeah, you get right out there and make America Great again. Start with yourself.

Your posts are too long to read.
Brevity is a sign of genius. Did I mention your post is long?

This is Trump:

January 22, 2020
  • “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”
February 26, 2020
  • “The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”
February 25
  • “I think that's a problem that’s going to go away… They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re very close to a vaccine.”

February 26
  • “The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”
  • “We're going very substantially down, not up.”
  • “Well, we're testing everybody that we need to test. And we're finding very little problem. Very little problem.”
  • "This is a flu. This is like a flu."

March 5
  • “The United States… has, as of now, only 129 cases… and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!”

March 10
  • “Just stay calm. It will go away.”
March 11
  • “It goes away….It’s going away. We want it to go away with very, very few deaths.”
March 12
  • "You know, you see what's going on. And so I just wanted that to stop as it pertains to the United States. And that's what we've done. We've stopped it."
March 13
  • “I don’t take responsibility at all.”

And this is reality:

How many needless Covid-19 deaths were caused by delays in responding? Most of them.

Due to exponential viral spread, our delay in action was devastating. In the wake of the U.S. response, 117,858 Americans died in the four months following the first 15 confirmed cases. After an equivalent period, Germany suffered only 8,863 casualties. Scaling up the German population of 83.7 million to America’s 331 million, a U.S.-sized Germany would have suffered 35,049 Covid-19 deaths. So if the U.S. had acted as effectively as Germany, 70% of U.S. coronavirus deaths might have been prevented.

Seventy percent, though, is the most conservative estimate. Scaled-up versions of South Korea, Australia, and Singapore would have experienced 1,758, 1,324, and 1,358 deaths, respectively, in the four months after 15 cases were confirmed in each country. Had we handled the coronavirus as effectively as any of these three countries, roughly 99% of the 117,858 U.S. Covid-19 deaths might have been averted.
