That is tough.  Flying sounds great if you come back as an eagle, but there are a lot of flying insects and being a mosquito doesn't sound like fun.  I suppose there is no way to escape possible being an insect, but I would go with land knowing that is where most of the mammals live.

Stop buying made in China crap. I try the best I can, have for years. Not everything but most.

A much better idea than waiting for Justin.

This thread makes some of the stuff on FB look downright smart.

What does that say about you as the lowest level contributor?

Trump and I are on the same page:

Donald J. Trump

The Democrats and President Obama gave Iran 150 Billion Dollars and got nothing, but they can’t give 5 Billion Dollars for National Security and a Wall?

Trump should get as much American money as Iran got.

Not a penny less!  And Mexico should match it.

Anyone else think that Shogun should be banned from posting in the Trump thread until he pays Chup the 20$ from the mid-term bet?

That is fine.  He has gone full Q and thinks "smocking" was a code.  He is going to need therapy soon.

To Kill a Smockingbird.  LMAO.  When this is all over I think all we wil be left with is a steaming orange heap saying "no collusion" on repeat while Ivanka strokes his head and gives him "Shh, shh, shh" sounds.

I might have the get an NHL.com subscription again just to see him in action.

Is anyone else enjoying the walls close in on Trump and his crime family?  What do they call new inmates like Kushner again?  Fresh fish?

Automation is only going to make it worse too.  Harley could keep their factories in North America and still screw over the job market with robot run factories.  In fact, I see a wave a manufacturing returning to North America in our future, but it will be almost all automated.  It makes sense to build products close to the market and a robot costs close to the same regardless of where they go to work.

I think the biggest challenge ahead is sorting out how to manage all of this on a global scale because it is so easy to dodge doing business where it is expensive.  We have to figure out how to make the wealthiest among us pay to live here, and that can't be that hard.  They keep their money offshore, but they want to spend their time and money here.  Can we tax money that flows over borders?  Can we tax stored wealth?  Can we nationalize AI?  We have to do something and fast.  Add that to the existential crisis list.
