We used to do that, up until a court case called Griggs v. Duke Power made it illegal.
Fun fact: that's when college degrees started being mandatory for white collar jobs.
Companies stopped being allowed to filter out retards with a test, so now every single person in the country has to pay tens of thousands of dollars and spend four years doing pointless bullshit so they can get a piece of paper that for the vast majority serves no purpose apart from indicating that they aren't a complete idiot
CIA scientists concluded that COVID-19 originated from a lab leak, but the finding was removed and altered during a 2 a.m. meeting, per CIA whistleblower.
9 of every 10 new American jobs since pre-COVID went to someone born outside the country.
Triple checked the data. It's real.
+4.3M foreign-born.
+471K native-born.
Meanwhile, 335,000+ American layoffs in 2026.
HOW DO WE ALLOW THIS?

@erik_schonberg@FreeNortherner Tricks like chunking should be taught to kids who have a full grasp of this and are ready to move on to more complex computation where these tricks will really come in handy.
@erik_schonberg@FreeNortherner I disagree with this approach. Kids need basic math skills first before they learn tricks, otherwise they never truly grasp it. Every person should be able to quickly solve any variation of single to double digit basic computation without the need for special tricks.
@erik_schonberg@FreeNortherner I wasn’t arguing against chunking. Its how most of us were taught once you mastered basic math skills. But the way the chunking is being described in the OP feels intentionally confusing and the way the OP was describing it was wrong. You dont chunk rounding up like that.
@FreeNortherner I still dont understand how chunking like that is more efficient than the way we were originally taught.
77 + 88 = (70+80) + (7+8) = 150 + 15 = 165.
Fast, efficient, easy to keep track of. At the point this method becomes difficult, use of a calculator is justified.
No one should be surprised but what he left out is that this turbine costs an estimated $50-80 million to build and install. It only produces power 35-45% of the time because wind is intermittent. Its output degrades 12-16% over its 20-25 year lifespan. It requires hundreds of tons of steel, concrete, fiberglass, and rare earth minerals mined largely in China (his favorite country). The other 55-65% of the time you need backup power, which comes from natural gas. And it exists only because of massive government subsidies.
A natural gas plant of the same 26MW capacity costs $26-39 million, produces more than double the effective output, runs on demand 24 hours a day regardless of weather, and lasts 30-40 years. Half the price. Double the output. No weather dependency. No subsidies required.
But this was never about the environment. If it were, you would care that rare earth mining for wind turbines devastates landscapes across China and Africa, that thousands of birds and bats are killed annually by turbine blades, that the blades themselves are non-recyclable fiberglass rotting in landfills, and that natural gas produces half the emissions of coal with none of these problems. You ignore all of this because environmentalism was never your goal. It is your vehicle. The destination is what it has always been: government control of energy production, which means government control of the economy, which is socialism. Rand identified this decades ago. The green movement is not a scientific movement. It is a political one, and its target is not pollution. It is capitalism.
@TanyaDe2233@RebelWithHonor@Storm_Tigrex@theblessedsalt (2/2) the harm being perpetrated against you more than the harm inflicted on your perpetrator (keep rebuilding your mailbox the same or advertising your reinforcement). And thus, we must land in the middle. Fair and equal punishment (hidden concrete mailbox).
@TanyaDe2233@RebelWithHonor@Storm_Tigrex@theblessedsalt (1/2) I think both sides are missing the mark. There is an extreme to both sides. On one hand you have overreaction; intent to inflict harm beyond the harm inflicted on you (explosive mailbox). On the other hand you have suicidal empathy; intent to allow or even facilitate…
Good evening from the Coconut Tree
@KamalaHarris
Ma’am, (can we call you Ma'am?) we’ll keep this factual and review your actual record, not your reboot.
As a U.S. Senator (2017-2021), you were an original cosponsor of the Green New Deal resolution (S.Res. 59).
It directed the US to “divest from fossil fuels,” phase out oil, gas, and coal production and remake the entire economy around subsidized green mandates.
Your 2020 campaign was shorter than a Garden Gnome but managed to work in these gems:
You told the CNN town hall:
“There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.”
On Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show:
“We will end fracking once and for all” while committing to the Green New Deal.
Your $10 trillion climate plan called for no new fossil fuel leases on federal lands, phasing out all oil & gas (even if renewables weren’t ready), a carbon fee, and doubling U.S. payments to the UN Green Climate Fund.
Before that, as California Attorney General (2011-2017), you built a reputation suing our industry.
The lawfare you pursued laid the foundation for the collapse of the California refining industry we are witnessing right now
You even sued the Obama-Biden administration to block new offshore permits off California’s coast.
Remember 2022?
As VP, national gas prices hit $5+/gallon (over $6 in parts of CA).
You told Americans those record prices were “a price to pay for democracy” for Ukraine.
But apparently the freedom of millions of Irainian citizens are not worth $3.97 a gallon now?
That seems - I don't know - selective?
Bottom line.
California still pays the nation’s highest gas prices — thanks to the taxes, mandates, and anti-production policies you championed for years.
Flying cross country (made possible by jet fuel) to North Carolina to make a video isn't going to change that.
And those are the facts - unburdened by what has been.
California is trying to pass a bill that would criminalize investigative journalism with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown.
The proposed bill is titled AB 2624 and was made after I exposed mass fraud by immigrant groups in America.
Under AB 2624, government-funded entities like the Somali “Learing” Daycare centers would be protected from being exposed if they operated inside California.
The enemy truly is within. When our politicians would rather protect fraudsters and illegal migrants, it’s time for us to stand up or face mass oppression from the traitors who “rule” over us.
I built https://t.co/R1jAMUfNTv — a free public database for American citizens who deserve safer communities.
You can track which judges released defendants who then got rearrested, skipped court, or violated their release conditions. All public records. All free.
I started with Orange County FL and will be expanding to all 67 Florida counties and eventually every state in the country. This first batch of info is from 2024 and since public reports are released in March/April for the previous year, data is behind. But I wanted to see if this is plausible. After adding 2024,I'll add 2025 and then figure out how to get real-time-data uploaded.
It's in beta — would love to know what you think 👇
Numbers don't lie, but criminals do.

Once the numbers are available, it is possible to run an analysis to identify the fifty worst judges in America, meaning those who are putting the country and its citizens in severe danger.
You go after those first fifty. You use whatever legal means are available to get them impeached. You investigate whether they have engaged in corruption. Whatever is within the scope of the law, you use to remove them from power.
As people are removed from the list, you replace them with the next worst remaining, so the list always contains fifty.
If you were to do this with a couple of wealthy sponsors, you would likely need a team of three or four people to handle the investigations and a lawyer to file suits. That effort would provide a significant service to America and Americans.
Put the judiciary on notice.
