Here's a text I got from my son-in-law (a decades-long baseball fan who bleeds Dodger blue).

From the USA Today farm system rankings:

2) Houston Astros.... have not had a great farm system for quite some time now and perhaps that lack of attention to their lower levels is finally starting to take its toll... this team doesn't seem to have much going for it on the pitching side...

That "2" ranking is second-worst btw  😞

Isn't that what Jeff Luhnow was so good at? Was Dana Brown supposed to fill those shoes? What's Jim Crane's roll? Help me out, Astros fans. Who has let us down?

He isn't a black lesbian basketball player,  so Biden has no interest in his wellbeing.

Hey, do we know that yet?

The high cost of ev's is to pay for new factories, battery plants, r&d and such. The fact is ev's have been coming down in price every year

The 70 inch flat screen that sold for $3000 twenty years ago now sells for $400 at Walmart.

New technology and innovations always cost more and then eventually come down in price

You do not know much about business do you?

Actually, I own a high-tech business genius.

I design and manufacture communications equipment that is sold all over the world and have done so for many years. I know something about developing products and manufacturing them.

Regarding flat screen TVs, no one had to subsidize them or mandate them by law. As the technology matured it was happily adopted by consumers without coercion. That's the right way.

He claims EV's are cheaper to make... Yet they cost more... Most of the car makers are loosing their shirts on them because people won't pay what they cost to produce...

Again, logic isn't his strong suite.

Tesla lost money at first but has been making record profits with ev's until lately

You do know when you see articles Ford lostcsay 100k per ev they are figuring startup cost and r&d , new factories, battery plant cost in those figures.

That is how every startup business works. Amazon lost money for years but they had an inctedible business model and innovations and people bought the stock on a hope . Truth Social has never made a profit. $4 million in revenue and $58 billion in expenses

You did know that didn't you .or maybe not

In the meantime, saw an electronic message board on the side of the road...smack-dab in the middle of Annapolis by Saint John's College which read:

"Save a Life...turn in your guns and ammunition!"

THIS...in Maryland!   **nononono*

NO!!!!!   **nononono* **nononono* **nononono* **nononono*

So you didn't make such claims in prior threads?

Their chants of "Death to America" makes their intent loud and clear.  They do NOT want peace.

Any chance of you taking a crack at my question @libertybele ?   No worries if you don't  happy77

Yes, Oct 7 was horrific.

But, here's a large part of the problem for Israel:  How would you answer the opinion being expressed by serious, nonconfrontational college students that after decades of occupation and control Hamas are freedom fighters @libertybele ?

Serious question.
