Re: The Israeli state?
An obvious question is if this same concern for various ethnic groups to have a home and make a state of it extends to other people. Israel is run as an effective apartheid state where Jews have far more rights than non-Jews, regardless of citizenship. As do Muslim, Chinese, and many African states...

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries
Self driving taxis have already existed for a while. Waymo is one of them. For whatever reason, humans apparently are either better or cheaper than self driving taxis.

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries
The point is, the Iraq war didn’t make oil cheaper and has zip all to do with the cost hard working Americans pay for gasoline.

Re: War in Gaza
Imagine what the $2.3 trillion could have bought. At $18,000 per household, I think we can all come up with some ideas. Blowing 2.3 trillion benefits the economy but lays more debt on the average American. Whereas injecting 2.3 trillion into the spending market results in inflation. I prefer not sp...

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries
The equivalent for gasoline would be using a gas tax to pay for all the oil wars in the middle east and military buildup there from the Iraq wars to the current mess in Yemen. And make no mistake, the Iraq war was about oil. We don't invade countries like the Congo simply because they have dictator...

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries
“Self driving” (which so far only Mercedes in the U.S. market has brought a fully self driving car) is no different in an EV than a gasoline or hybrid car; modern cars have electronically controlled accelerator pedals, brakes, and even steering now. Self driving is just a very expensive boondoggle s...

Re: The Israeli state?
Israel is not an Israelite state, but I Jewish state. Many Jews claim it home because of historical times that Israelites lived there. They are the decedents of the Israelites. I am a Zionist. I believe the Jewish people should have a home and make a state out of it. I am glad they do not restrict ...

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries
Going electric puts one at the mercy of power outages. This is already a huge problem in California - when it gets hot, my in laws have to endure rolling blackouts once the sun goes down.
