Many are unaware of this fact

They were also opposed to the machines being run by unskilled labor and children. The same children that died and maimed running the machines. The children died in such masses that they had them buried in mass graves away from the factory. There is a lot to this story and not just one thing.

Trump allies plan Senate floor takeover to pass SAVE America Act

NPR did a story on this yesterday actually. And while there is a greater than 50% Support( I say it this way because I can not find the source to give me the actual number but it was greater than 50%) it does admit that this will disinfrachise voters. And while most people who agree with mandatory id will not know the greater repercussions until after the fact.

There was something I heard about why talking on the phone is more dangerous than talking with someone in the car. One of the reasons was that while someone is talking to you in the car they know when to stop talking when the situation causes for the drivers attention. While a phone conversation the person on the other end has no clue clue of the situation in the car.

Mike Johnson vows to hold aid to California hostage after deadly fires

The economy of the State of California is the largest in the United States, with a $4.080 trillion gross state product (GSP) as of 2024.[1] It is the largest sub-national economy in the world. If California were a nation it would rank in terms of nominal GDP as the world's sixth largest economy, behind India (4.27 trillion) and ahead of the United Kingdom (3.588 trillion).

And we are also a donor state. Even with all the RnD that we have.

Trump’s FCC Chair Threatens to Pull Broadcast Licenses Over Negative Iran War Coverage

We must cut funding to national radio stations. NPR pbs and (I forget the name of the am radio stations that broadcast all over the world to spread information to countries with heavily censored media). This is being done because it is state funded media and must not be supported.

The media that is still going out must be positive or else we will come for you because you are telling lies. For all we do is great and anything that says otherwise is a lie.

Gun rule

That is the real question because I know people who own over 10 guns just for themselves and their friends can use them during the zombie apocalypse.

The real threat is when the gun owners feel threatened and their friends do as well.

You have to go get a specialized company to make it look this way it does not come like this. Is the f150 ridiculous yes. But this truck is a far cry from an f150. It's like saying an f150 is equal to a flat bed tow truck or an international bobtail. F150 cost ~37,000 vs f650 cost ~70,000 and that comes with only the cab,nothing on the back where the bed would go.

These 2 trucks are not comparable because they are for 2 different markets.

They're called LIBERTY SHIPS and they're BASED

This is honestly what I fixate on about ww2. Logistics was such a key factor. And it is overlooked by most. It is amazing how we(the allies) supplied food, ammo, fuel, medical supplies and so much more to another continent. We (the allies) build a deep water port out of nowhere. Floating roads to off load. Pipelines for fuel. Being an ikea for jeeps, trucks, and what ever else was needed because we could fit more in the cargo space. That is what is so amazing.

This is not to take away from the front line forces one bit because that is another story all on its own. But never overlook supply in war.
