Pretty sure that's the Boeing 777 and they discovered that after a crash off Brazil.

I use autopilot all the time on my boat. No way in hell I'd trust it in a car. They all occasionally get suicidal. Mine likes to lull you into a sense of false security, then take a sharp turn into a channel marker or cargo ship at the last second.

REITs are fine, but they do need strong regulation. They're best when targeted at building high density housing, but can be used to develop single family suburbs.

The key is that you have to time limit their ownership of single family homes, and require the sale to individuals. That forces them to build and sell, they make money, the market expands, houses stay affordable. For high density buildings they have to be limited to a portion of the area market, including all corporate owners. Which again forces them to build and sell, and also keeps competition in the market, to avoid price fixing.

I said nothing about being disarmed, or losing.

Pretty sure I pull up with a semi full of fertilizer and I'd be their bestest friend.

I didn't say armed resistance doesn't work. I said your gun isn't going to work.

If the government comes for me, they're bringing more people than I can shoot. The first answer to that, is to prevent that from happening through political action. The second is that you don't respond to that with a gun.

Everyone on Ruby ridge was armed, everyone in Waco was armed. They're all dead for their troubles. A gun won't fix that problem.

I don't know, every time I drink that much I forget.

A beard is the cheapest low effort option. Just trim it once in a while and you're done.

Pretty sure Poland is just angry they can't go kick some Rusky ass right now.

Fortunately when Trump isn't lying, he's always wrong.

Tariffs always raise prices. Sometimes they do protect local industry, by raising prices so that local industries can compete against foreign competitors. At least for a time. Usually it leads to the eventual failure of the industry due to making less competitive products.
