The disturbing thing about this entire, sad mess, is that the process of removing these monuments were completely and utterly derailed by outsiders. I have a job that requires me to travel extensively, both in the US and globally.

It’s hard to take this message seriously from a trust fund kid...

So are you saying that if the election was on the popular vote, Lincoln would not have won?

Low budget, vacation options including drinking Starbucks and Trader Joes...

Can someone please explain to me how these headlines about Joe Biden “winning” continue to be written after every debate in which he looks old, sad, and lost? 

Again, the hilariousness that this grandstanding is coming from Seattle fans of all people.

This isn’t engineering...this is mental masturbation.

Gee...I wonder why leagues want politics to stay out of their fiefdoms.

I do not see an issue with discussing economics in this thread.

This is misrepresenting the economic history of Venezuela in my opinion. In the 70's and the 80's, the economy was healthy and diversified. It was in the 90's that heavy corruption, lack of development of Venezuelan expertise, massive inflation, and inefficient management that began to have very significant issues to…

Its hilarious this is happening in Oregon. Did they ever change the state constitution to allow African Americans property rights? 

I like how you try to use industry terms, but incorrectly. It is cute.

It still amazes me that scabs are surprised to be treated like scabs.

It is sour crude. So it is not nearly as worth as much as people think. It must be refined more than lighter crude. The higher sulfur content is highly damaging to equipment and the environment.
So to even export the crude, they must import light crude to basically cut it.

By Southern? Do you mean Southern Romania?

When African Americans began migrating north and getting good paying jobs (same as their white counterparts) in the mills...

I was doing a job in Detroit. I am originally from Eastern Europe. My coworker is a young black man from North Carolina. Very sweet kid. We were doing an upgrade project for a steel mill.

Japan doesn’t execute a lot of people, but the way they do it is utterly brutal. Add in their criminal justice system that is set up to cause false confessions, it’s a real problem that should have been addressed decades ago.
