And they need to keep asking questions that piss him off.

I really miss our used book store. It was tiny but packed, and it had that smell.

So they are trying to force the company to admit, “no we are still committed to anti-consumer policies to boost profits”, is that the point?

Some buddies and I actually got an old firebird with a blown head gasket for lemons. Got it running, and then realized how much more we would have to pay for all the safety gear… We were still willing but had some disagreements for who was gonna pay what when and so the main backer pulled out and the dream went up in smoke…

Where did you get this, or did you build it yourself?

Listen, Im over here wearing my floaties, watching sales people doing a triple gainer off the high-dive. I’m not trying to pretend to be especially good with the social skills. All I’m saying is water is wet. Some people have an affinity to those sorts of skills, some don’t. Some people work at it. Some can’t. Everyone has to at least bathe though. That’s a metaphor, but also not.

Why do you need to be forced by society to develop social skills?

Social skills is another way of saying the abilities required to function in a society. You might as well ask why do you need to learn to swim to get in the pool.

Why isn’t putting your best forward enough?

Often it is, but to stretch the metaphor used above, they are going to be stuck in the shallow end.

My dad was a Coastie. He signed up during the Vietnam war. He liked to say ‘we SAVE lives’.

Thank you for this.

I definitely remember hearing “Here put this helmet and [thick] jacket on”… “Stay there and wait” etc

I was the younger brother. I was “willing” to do a lot of things I knew were bad ideas.

THIS MAN HAS A WORM IN HIS BRAIN.

How we allowed him to lead the HHS is beyond me.

hey! I resemble those remarks!

I think he actually believes this will move manufacturing to the US. He is a moron afterall.

Changing manufacturing sites requires a submission. You have to prove safety and efficacy.

Lay off a bunch of folks at the FDA, then announce tariffs? WTF? If you want pharma’s to onshore manufacturing, you need to provide them quicker review. So much stupidity.

Higher quality? Not likely. Actually available Id give you. We don’t have the equipment to make a lot of the stuff china can make. If we can make it, its probably on newer machines with better tolerances. This is a sweeping generality of course but so is the contrary claim.

Ive been to manufacturing sites in china, Ive outsourced sub-assemblies. They have a lot of capabilities. The US still (for now) has more sophistication/infrastructure. Given proper controls, Chinese manufacturers can match our quality for cheaper, it is a lot of work though.

Just in time for the child.labor.

“praised for its minimalist beauty”. I will never not run from something described this way.

The sun wasn’t alive in Sunshine. People just be crazy.

The World at the End of Time does have a plasma based intelligence though
