Loan forgiveness isn't a solution. It's something the immediately help, but it does nothing ti address the growing costs of the higher education that is needed for any sort of comfortable life.

Monopoly busting is good for the other corporations. Just because a company does anti-consunmer behavior doesn't mean they aren't also get screwed by another company's anti-consumer behaviors.

Issue 1 took up the entire back page of my ballot yesterday and was just nonsensical legalese. People voted on it based on how there prefered candidates told them to, and we all saw who their preferred candidates were last night.

It's the ratchet effect. The GOP drives us further to the right while the DNC stop us from moving to the left.

People thought that the Tea Party would drive away support for the GOP, but they got everything they wanted by being loud and demanding it from the GOP. Conservative voters get everything they want from the Republicans because they demand it. Meanwhile Democrats are constantly trying to snub the Progressives and leftists from the party and then except those snubbed groups to keep voting for them.

Toyota and Honda have to meet similar regulations in markets that have those regulations but aren't as insanely car focused as the US. They aren't going to make a radically different Accord or Corolla for the US market just because they can. The leadership for US manufacturers are just lazy and have been for the past 50 years.

Damn, sounds like nationalizing an industry leads to lower costs and cheaper products.

Correct, because Uncle Sam is spending hundreds of billions of dollars to make oil and gas as cheap as possible while automakers spend bullions every year on stock buybacks. America's poor investments are all China's fault.

The actual answer is that thr next generation being referred to is the generation watching the show. Their parents grew up watching the original, and now they are watching Star Trek for their generation.

Sliding the deer under your car is also really bad for you. It's going to do a lot of damage under there such as ripping break lines, destroying ball joints, or fragging your differentials. You need to safely shed as much speed as possible while maintaining your lane when about to hit a deer.

You absolutely need to hit the brakes, but don't swerve. A deer weighs over 200lbs and will likely crash into your windshield if you hit it head on. You need to safely loose as much speed as you can because even a side hit on the deer is likely to wreck your axel and prevent you from driving.
