Girodreamer......I hear ya. I only have a HS education....and all my stairwork comes from a good understanding of HS geometry, trigonometry..and some algebra. I have had several engineers in my stair shop over the years just shaking their heads at what appeared to them was a math genius..which I am NOT! They just never used the math that they mostly have forgotten. Here they all had calculus....and the only calculus I ever asquire gets removed by my dental hygienist every annual cleaning.
China and Russia are going to whip our ass as we havent near the fortitude or preparedness they have.
Russia, China, Iran are playing cat and mouse with Biden. He will eventually react, then I believe we will find out who has the most resolve.
They have infiltrated our Universities, schools, government, and my way of life is not coming back, but I am very thankful to have lived my life having unprecendated freedom to do what I want to do....and had what I call "parent privilege"...not "white privilege." I was blessed with two parents that let me have a lot of rope to learn how to do things. Freedom , not dollars , was given to me. Huge difference.
I only wish my grandkids would have the same world I had.
we are all the actors of our lives... some prefer to hide behind the hope that the system, the state, their company etc will compensate their lake of courage , work, self education ..
the problem comes when this "some people" become the majority of the people ..
all of that without mentioning all the traitors, the leader of big companies who took advantage of the situation to export technology , know how etc in foreign countries to pay less wages , less taxes, follow less laws etc ...
one of our industry leader mr Dassault (the rafale builder) was used to say ... when I wake up in the morning I have only one solution : making better products for the better price .. if I don't do this my company will die
he had also brought the figaro, a right wing news paper and he was used to tell his journalist the socialists are crooks, they promiss people that they will be paid better working less .. and this is mathematically impossible
socialist have ruined this country , opened the doors of immigration , killed our natality and our identity ..
and our right wing did not do anything to change all this ... they only wanted to keep the power .. to keep their jobs etc ...
Vive Le Roy !
long live to the King ... I hate this so called democracy where crook can promiss anything to anyone knowing that it won't be possible ...
