    For God sake man, concentrate on your work or career.
    You are a basket case of misplaced priorities.

    Even obvious that is becoming out of reach for many, most of Americans rather love to purchase their home instead getting themselves involved in building one. They all love their white picketed paradise and nobody, as far as I know, complained and wanted to be something else – like “barn” or Buck’s geo-dome that are more suitable for lonely large plot of land and owner with adventurous spirit and time at hand.
    Wood framed structure is easy and cheep to build – the very reason that it was invented and implemented in the XIX century. Feather light boards, instead of much heavier timber as in Europe, made an adult with mediocre skills and teenager without attitude capable of building basic shelter while advancing slowly to the West. Cheap and easy is often opposite to quality.
    Yes… vast majority of Americans do live in housing tracts with their home close to adjacent neighbor’s (5’+ 5′ side yard each, bit tighter at the coastal properties). If you want to call it a communism so be it – you are out of control anyway.
    For the n-th time: me stating the characteristics of diametrically opposite social contracts of a two systems does not make me pro or against the other.

    Presidential farewell warning tradition.
    Sadistic ritual in which they are allowed to let the stone go of their chest by addressing the problem that they were not allowed to fix.

    Has nothing to do with ideologies.
    I am just trying to save you from the embarrassment, that’s all.
    Given that we are currently dealing up with the tragedy that befallen on the tight communities of homes, has anybody on this site tried to visualize the street-scape of the lined-up structures that you, with the mind just percolating the “ideas”, propose without thinking it all-the-way-through?

    Last night on the “LA fire coverage”:
    Complaints about the massive rent price gauging on one side or bidding wars to acquire the place to live in after loosing the one in the fire.
    Now…the complaints are, then, and as I understand, against the cosmic dance of “invisible hand of the market”.

    Pepe Escobar’s Trump 2.0 assessment above.
    Accidentally I stumbled into this video. No need to watch it all – it’s right at the start – an American woman clipping her toe nails at the airport lounge. It beats any of Oro’s “Duh-Am” posts. As hard as I may try, I can not imagine a woman, or anybody else for that matter, of any other Nation doing this.
    Now I can not separate the two.

    Transition to this millennium was marked as a “revenge of a geeks”. Today, as once guy on Kunstler’s blog posted, ability to carry 4′ X 12′ plywood board amounts to a “meaning of life”.
    Healthy society to function has to have it all but balanced in numbers. From top tradesman to an expert on “farmer’s poetry during the 1930’s depression”.

    Climate change.
    I was always of an opinion that “climate change” meme was pushed as a “dramatic way” to corral hoi-poloi into adjusting to a new reality of diminishing natural resources – mainly carbon sourced energy. Just merely suggesting that everybody should slowly start using “less of it” would not work, while non-hoi-poloi want to keep it for themselves.

    Alternative “green energy”, despite being the opposite, is invented to further underline the message of “need” for the “non-polluted” environment. Some people positioned to do that, make good money in that newly created industry given the secure connection to gov-open-checkbook .

    LA fire area has been, for couple a decades, a permanent construction site. Home purchase by the new owner is immediately followed by the extensive remodel or by the leveling of existing structure to make a space for a brand new construction that easily creates two or three years of mess and nuisance for entire unlucky street where the sale took place.
    Last night an interviewed guy explained how after three years of constriction they moved into their dream home three months ago just to have it gone in flames. I was impressed by his composure…..

    Young attractive woman disembarks from the Grayhound in some *small town* where police car turn into slow roll while passing by and when is hard to describe as who is creepier hotel clerk or the guy in the nearby liquor store where she got the “obligatory” water bottles. After a few minutes of getting herself together in the hotel room she undresses in the most skimpy shorts and tank-top and steps out for her regular jogging routine with her pony tail hair, dumbly, bobbing up and down…..
    This one is no different, regardless of her outfit being something else, I am not referring to a potential danger but to
    rather that nauseating sense of self-rightness where it, absolutely, does not belong:

    Make songs by the truckloads that titillate Trump’s ego and with that corner him into doing the right thing.

    Trump:

    I strongly disagree with him philosophically and politically,I also realized that he truly loved and respected our Country and all it stands for. He worked hard to make America better place, and for that I give him myhighest respect.

    Just as PCR, I too ask: What is Trump’s definition of great?

    Never understood visceral hatred for the Man expressed in many, many comments throughout the internet in all this decades of visiting the various sites.

    Domestic UBER drivers fired to be replaced with H-1B imports that need to own the car from the day one. Who provides those cars? They have other living expenses that are supported by work that many deem as a supplemental income?
    Vivek is onto something. Drive by most of high schools in the US and you will found out a proud display, while nothing wrong to have a strong sports team, that they are, apparently only, “home of Tigers, Pumas, Knights….”.
    Those are formative years where one is molding a final career decision.
    Many commenting sites including this one display, deserved or undeserved, utter disdain for “learned”. Bear in mind that Corps are capable the best and brightest to do their bidding and in the public interest.
    Movies and commercials promote that amateurism that one should see as an equal to any hard earned knowledge –
    pole dancer, drunk and Will Smith saved the planet as sample in former or “so easy anybody can do it, no prior knowledge required…” for the latter and, what appears, taken for granted

    Telling young people that college is the only path to economic prosperity basically reinforces the power of the PMC….

    Since when some third party has to tell a young person what to choose as a career that should be a private family matter at the most?
    Some sports, (apparently) selling your soul to entertainment industry, finance or “private enterprise” with talent to secure a grift-piggy-back do offer an exceptional financial success if one is after that only.

    That il Donaldo X-offer at the top. Not funny indeed!
    AI created, narcissist exuberance that, for some reason, we should accept as “all our problems gone”.

    Anti-communism curriculum is for our own good and heartfelt provided. An itch that would not go away even though American rear is bloody mess from scratching on it.

    Lynx and the cat video. Cats have that cool “hard-to-get” detachment. I’ve noticed that with my four stray rascals that moved into my back yard. The two, that I am closer to, allow me to pet them and only in the rare occasions that I do not sense that I am being rather “tolerated” as a food provider.
