I won’t watch this movie either. The current Odyssey is misrepresentative of Homer’s characters and Musk’s Odyssey employs no human beings as actors.

This can’t be! Where were the heat islands? Where was earth’s population then versus now? It’s almost as if there is a natural occurrence of Earth’s systems and some greedy, mentally ill human beings have tried to make a profit off fear mongering.

You are always good for whataboutism, downplay and deflect when responding to a post. That is pretty weak for a guy in his mid 70s.
You are unable to see the facts or premise in my post as your cult brain requires you to see it as deflection or whataboutism in order to avoid reality. Just like you and the Trump cultists have to keep reassuring themselves that the Red Scare will save the mid-terms. A few DSA candidates have won in areas with a younger, educated progressive population. As I have posted, it is part of the generational change replacing the old with younger candidates. It is limited to NY, one in Colorado, San Fran, Portland , Seattle. Nothing new really those areas have had their own younger fringe progressivism. If you want a whatabout, whatabout the primary in Arizona yesterday where the DSA candidate lost big to a moderate Dem? These primaries reflect the characteristics of the voters in the respective district. If you are able to get out of the Trump talking points about communism, we can discuss a movement toward rebuilding the social safety net after Trump has damaged it, and to make up for past failures. I do believe we will buttress SS, come up with a better Universal Health coverage, probably free pre-school and housing assistance to allow the purchase of homes. It will be a long term movement. Why? Because that is what the younger voters want, and they will decide the future. In that regard, the US will come to more resemble European governments. Far cry from communism.

Greg Stanton was the incumbent and the DSA challenger's main criticisms were that Stanton was too moderate on Israel and immigration. Stanton is not AOC but he reportedly votes 90-95% with Jeffries in congress. The DSA guy had no chance and still got 35% of the vote. Stanton supports LGTBQ+, abortion, tax increases, etc.

I think of Fetterman as a moderate. Stanton is much better than either of our Dem senators but I wouldn't call him a moderate. If Newsome becomes president, Stanton will vote with him probably 90-95% of the time. I guess we can say he is a moderate for a Dem but left of center as a congressman?

Speaking of AI/centralized databases. My wife has a Dr appt this afternoon and got a text asking her to fill out pre-appt paperwork. It turns they recently bought a new software and she had to fill out countless pages of questions to populate their system.

The AI angle is they searched medical databases and listed 50 medications she has taken over the years, some a long time ago . For example, she had cataract surgery 4 years ago and they listed the post op eye drops she took. So we went one by one to correct the list but what a pain. The DR office already knew what meds she takes but now their software does as well.
I had a General well being DR appointment, but the office hadn't taken blood for examination, so had to cancel.

Tried to set up blood draw, lab examination and Dr appt.

The AI computer wanted to give me an appointment of August 19 th.

ALL on the same day.

GIGO for AI.

Chicago is a hot mess. Stoney should move there and relieve himself of these crazy RDS policies.
Paying for safety and living well can get pricey.

My complex at Jupiter Island 7 private homes had an HOA that cost all $ 800 a month. Electric gate, lawn watering and mowing, palm tree trimming, water/electric at boat slips, tennis court, maintenance on everything.

You are following MAGA and Republican’s desperate attempt to distract the public’s attention from Trump, his cabinet of incompetent clowns and the disastrous policies like IcE killings, prices, tariffs, alienating allies , corruption and a war against a third rate power that he had to try to bribe with a complete give away of the Strait and hundreds of Billions to get a ceasefire. 5-6 DSA members won’t do it.
Your lack of current awareness can be staggering...

Here's a simpler statement about affordability and your TDS.

I purchased my first SFH in the early 70's, there was an IRS Credit available for new homes.
I took advantage of same !

Trump had Nothing to do with the purchase.

RE: Canadian fires. They have a lot of forest to burn. In 2023 they set a major record with 36 million acres burned. (about 55% the size of Colorado :)). So far in 2026 they have had about 8 million acres burned and lots of fire season left.
