Exactly. With all the guns out there, and all the crazy people with guns, it was only a matter of time before this sort of thing happened. And unfortunately, it will happen again.

Not all agriculture is done in full sun. Ginseng, coffee and other important crops do best in shade. And you can put the panels up on grazing land. The critters often appreciate the shade which approximates a savanna environment.

Taking out the fascist figureheads does nothing about the ideology and forces behind the fascism. Make being a Nazi something to be ashamed of again.

It will be more than 12 hours before it happens. But that's small consolation. Once political violence is in the mix it can very quickly spiral out of control

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you. Also the SS did not do their job. Before the attempt on Trump, people in the crowd were pointing out that guy in camouflage on the roof of that building, yet the secret service/law enforcement did not respond. And the counter sniper waited until the perp took numerous shots to respond.

Beside it not being the proper democratic way of deciding how to be governed, the problem with political violence is that it quickly spirals out of control and can burn everything to the ground.

That is not the way we do things here in the US.

Good. Suffer and Die.

Will they get angry enough to do something about the GOPers that are causing the problems? Probably not.

When I left academia to go to the private sector, I got a 40% bump in pay, and worked at least 30% less. And I didn't have to write grants to support my program. When I was an academic, I thought people never came back to academia from the private sector because they couldn't. I quickly found out that it was because they'd have to be crazy to come back. I wouldn't have returned to the university for anything less than an endowed chair. And that was NOT going to happen.

Teachers in the US. Hands down.

The Chinese would have landed in Sydney by the time the French laid the keels for the subs in the deal they struck with Australia.
