@ClarksonsFarm1 We definitely win the can’t build a railroad award in CA. Our bullet train from Fresno to Madera still hasn’t laid any track in well over a decade and billions over budget
@JohnStossel I’d go out and find every crack in the sidewalk, and have a team of ambulance chasers sue the city for billions in ada violations and trip and fall injuries
@johnrich No it was never a threat. You make good points and draw attention to things that matter. Like farmers needing a voice. Don’t trash it with this conspiracy garbage
To the Americans:
I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.
And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:
You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.
This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.
Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.
This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.
But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.
This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.
And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:
Thank God for the United States.
Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.
Long may your admirable country dominate the world.
Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.
May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.
Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.
Thank God for the USA.
Happy 250th.

@KonstantinKisin@mrmikeMTL Backpacking gear costs about that much these days but it works! GPS only, no cell, no communication except with myself. I love my talks.
@fasc1nate It should have never mattered. They were good people who were put off by the girl’s behavior. They had absolutely zero responsibility for the kid. Return policy needs to be changed, nobody should be forced to be parents to an adopted sociopath.
@robotaxi flawless ride. Very confident and zippy, not slow and overly cautious. My only complaint is the door handles inside. I want a mechanical means to open the door not an electrical button.
Tesla Robotaxi was confident and made the same moves I would driving. It wasn’t slow or overly cautious. Dropped me off at my destination despite a street festival with road closures. The Lyft ride home was definitely more stressful. My Robotaxi had a driver behind the wheel so it’s not introvert perfect yet.
@DrEliDavid I remember voting for Rubio in a primary and being told I wasted a vote. Now the poor guy is running America with little recognition like a president should.
@washghost1 Had a terrorist at the dentist today picking his nose and eating boogers for at least ten minutes just digging into both sides. Then he got his phone out and started playing videos in Arabic at full volume. Disgusting how people act.
