    Does anybody else see the parallel with Boeing being able to OK their 737 Max without further training for pilots typed on previous 737s? People die because of this kind of bullshit.

    This is the difference in my electricity usage since they installed a new Energy Star AC unit in my apartment a couple of weeks ago. You can tell exactly when it was installed.

    LOOK - He works for Russia and billionaires, NOT America. This is something good so it must be defiled and ruined. As is everything this vile shit touches. For nearly 50 years, the Rs have done nothing good for the US. To honor this heritage, the Felon has decided to destroy the good works of Ds.

    Democrats love privatization. Stop acting like its a Republican thing. Heres a thought: call out corruption on both sides & maybe you could salvage democracy & even your own "non profit" media site.

    Both of his solutions are horrible. It has saved money and help innovation in Manufacturing. We need more investment in Energy Conservation, not less.

    Privatizing a company that makes recommendations on what products people ought to by? There certainly won't be anything wrong with that when it comes to conflicts of interest or bias.

    I appreciate the article blurb because it really puts on display how the conservative thought is about things it wants to go away: done by means of elimination or, if that is too brute-force, by means of “privatization”

    Of course they do, we can't have anything that's efficient or effective - he won't be happy until we're all living as if we're in 1825! What f**king disaster these people are.
