557 liked Seth Bullock's post in the thread What role will your future self be in WW3?.
At 68, I'm way too old for conscription, much less deployment. But if there was ever an invading army in our country, I would arm up and die fighting them. Better that than...

557 liked Josh77's post in the thread What role will your future self be in WW3?.

557 replied to the thread Joe Biden calls for tripling of tariffs on Chinese steel.
Yes. We simply can’t compete because our emissions controls and unwillingness to use “dirty” coal technology price us out of the business.
