A Fishrrman "not-off-the-wall-at-all" prediction:

Eventually, Ukraine will be vanquished, a good portion of the country reduced to rubble, the core of its young men killed, and Russia will STILL occupy the Donbas and Crimea.

And that is how the war will end.

With one other consideration:
The USA will be billions and BILLIONS of dollars (maybe a trillion?) more in debt, with absolutely NOTHING to show for having given away that money to Ukraine.

End the war now.
FORCE Ukraine to the negotiating table, before the rest of the country is wrecked.

That was the backhoe... Got a 12" crease in my skull from catching a backhoe bucket full of rocks at full swing... My ballcap always tips to that side. Knocked me right out of my boots.

Bloomberg Law by Robert Iafolla 5/2/2024

•   Injunction arises from constitutional challenge to NLRB

•   SpaceX worked around order to transfer case to California

SpaceX secured a temporary reprieve from a National Labor Relations Board case alleging the Elon Musk-led company illegally fired workers.

The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on Thursday granted SpaceX’s request to block the NLRB’s administrative case pending the company’s challenge to a lower court’s “effective denial” of its request for an injunction. The single-sentence order contained no legal reasoning and simply announced the granting of the company’s emergency motion.

The order stems from SpaceX’s lawsuit alleging that the NLRB’s structure and how it administers federal labor law violates the US Constitution.

The company’s underlying arguments go beyond just shielding it from an unfair labor practice case, as they threaten the existence of the only means to enforce the National Labor Relations Act.

SpaceX obtained an injunction halting the NLRB proceedings from the New Orleans-based Fifth Circuit—which has precedent favorable to the company’s legal position—despite a February order that called for the case to be transferred to a California federal court.

No.

Close the universities.
Send the students home and tell them to get a real job.
Fire the faculties and administrators and BLACKLIST them from ever working in education again.
Give the campuses away to the homeless and illegals, they'll make better use of them.

Keep ONLY the professional schools (medical, scientific, technical) where the students might actually LEARN something. But give those institutions a "good cleaning out", as well.

Perhaps keep a modicum of private schools that accept NO government funding. Hillsdale is an example.
Forbid "student loans" -- make them pay up in advance, or borrow the money privately.

Have I made myself clear?

Did the House bill mimic this, point by point?

In most respects, yes.  Apparently, the people who are objecting to certain specific language either 1) have difficulty with reading comprehension, or 2) are actually anti-semitic themselves.

As with most things, this has not been thought thru. In some instances an EV may work, but definitely not all. Most houses don't have the adequate supply of electricity to power an automobile. If we are being told to cut off a/c and heat...how the heck would powering a car work?

More than that... Step out of the city and dang near every woman is driving a Tahoe or a Suburban because that's the only thing left big enough to haul all the kids around.

That's the reality. Try and make a tahoe and a suburban that can put in the high miles needed for rural life.
Then a pickup - A one ton 4wheel drive that can pull a 4 horse trailer... Because that's what her old man is driving.

Then make em work in 30 below, up a mountain.

The only way to save the country may be to CLOSE the environmental protection agency.
Just flat-out shut it down, repeal all the rules and regulations (ALL of them), and go back to where we were in, say, 1968.
