The federal government already brought in gun control. What do you want them to do about this? And how would PHONey do it better?

Jerry, you're spending a lot of time defending the indefensible. Saying that it's better to have a massive amount of corrupt behaviour because it's transparently visible rather than a small amount of hidden corruption (which usually comes out anyway) doesn't seem logical to me.

Let's talk about Artificial Intelligence
Marty_d replied to old man emu's topic in Science and Technology
The difference is that Wikipedia can be corrected by anyone. AI can't. If you don't want to get the AI guff, just put -AI after your search. For example: Antonov AN2 -AI -
This is what I'm interested in. If people think the country is "going in the wrong direction", what does that even mean? What specific areas are people upset about? Is it economic? Social? Is it a conservative vs progressive thing? Then drilling down into that, is the aggravating factor something that the federal government has control over? All I'm hearing is a very non specific grumble.

Which I don't really understand. I'd be interested to know which policies in particular people are having a problem with. From my perspective they could do better in a few areas, but overall they're doing a good job.

I seem to remember that's why Trump (and brexit) happened. The risk being, of course, that your protest vote leads to an incompetent government, and / or one that doesn't make decisions in the best interest of the people.

Celebrating Positives (offset of the Gripes Thread)
Marty_d replied to Jerry_Atrick's topic in General Discussion
That was great. I went past New Norfolk as far as Gretna, fantastic road. Almost tempted to keep going. I was going to go through to Elderslie then back to the highway, but the cross road was gravel so I turned around and came back the same way. Very enjoyable. -

Isn't that where your wife writes it for you?

Faaaark. I was born in 1972. If I lived backwards I'd be about to hit the end of WW1.

Did that include the $57.45 worth of stock in the stores? -
Is that so Chump can escape to Russia when the American public actually get a clue?

Nuclear subs have an hour limit on the reactor. When that limit is reached, the sub is decommissioned. If we get old Block 3 Virginians that the yanks have been thrashing for 10 years or more, half their useful life may already be gone. Can't run these buggers "on condition".

And it goes on. I think he deliberately just does the opposite of whatever is the right thing to do. https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/trump-announces-981-million-support-package-for-highly-polluting-energy-source/s7d44jvnp
