We should be developing land, creating jobs, irrigating water sources, installing solar energy panels, and windmills. That is just to start. You can't just throw money at a problem and hope it goes away; you don't feed them fish,

Jimmy Carter warned us that we are using too much energy: https://youtu.be/XmeZc3PGezs AI Data Centers require more power and may cause blackouts. Our electric grid is old and needs upgrading in some areas.

Everything is digital now. Some restaurants don't even have a menu; you scan a QR code to open their menu on a web page. Some specials are only in the phone app. DocuSign requires an email account and cell phone number. I had to teach

I remember when Windows had *.INI files to store program settings in. I also remember people deleting their registry.dat file in Windows 95 because it was too big. If they backed up to tape, they could restore it; if not, Windows 95 was scr

The factory work doesn't pay as much as Nursing careers or Building Houses for carpenters, plumbers, roofers, etc. I have a feeling factories will use H1B Visas to bring in immigrants to do the work and fire them as soon as the H1B Vis
