Why not? As long as they’re in “safe” districts, what’s stopping them? And if Ruth Bader Ginsburg passes (god forbid) the court goes back to 4-3 conservative, and they win. Also, these guys are terrified of getting primaried on their right.

The Republicans already know they’re not getting a president. They’re happy with both houses of congress and a majority of state governments.

Why will they confirm anybody, even after the election? Any Republican who votes for a Dem nominee is getting primary’d. Better to have some decisions deadlock 4-4 (which leaves the appeals court verdict in place) than set a new precedent.

Unless Democrats control the senate I don’t think the seat’s getting filled, even after the election.

I honestly think if they retain a majority they’ll just leave the seat vacant and hope RBG dies next.

“Swimming birds?” I’ve always heard penguins taste disgusting, so good choice.

That’s a tougher one to do apples vs oranges, but at the very least, most of us are not doing better; family income peaked in 1973, IIRC.

4th gear: I posted this yesterday, but a ‘68 Corvette, adjusted for inflation, would cost $33,000 today. Modern cars are just too expensive to be purchased whimsically.

Paper money is designed to be counterfeit-proof, but it gets counterfeited. I like the idea of an audit trail, but suspect it’s only swapping one problem for another.

But how do you create an audit trail that can’t be fooled with?

Caveat: I haven’t worked in an FDA regulated field in more than 10 years.

Apparently I’m wrong about the “no chlorine” thing; see the other replies to my OP.

NYC’s drinking water consistently wins blind taste tests against the fancy bottled stuff. Most of the time it doesn’t even need to be chlorinated.

Does it baby?

Regulation killed “enthusiast” cars. Not by banning them outright, but by making the costs of compliance so high it no longer makes economic sense. Because of inflation, a 1968 Jaguar E-type that cost $5800 in 1968 would cost 40,467 today. That’s a lot - but compare it to the F-type - it’s only half as much. That’s…

Your argument would have merit if current Mercedes Benz products actually had “the quality that Mercedes-Benz has been building for decades.”

Mustang shooting brake? At this point I’d be happy if they bought back the Kamm-back from the original Mach I.

Wait, what happend to the guys in Virginia? My daughter is 16, lives in Falls Church, and has her license.... (not that either her mom or I have the money; I need too motivate her to get a job over the summer)

Two accidents in a short period of time, and no one has ever checked my bags.

To be fair “#MERICAN $$$$” is pretty much how we won WWII.
