Johannes Reichert CTA in 1710. During the first journey only about half survived the sea. He made several trips to bring people back as he was a seaman and boat builder. I doubt he made these trips for fun (my 9x grandpa), and I doubt many coming today do either.

It is a sickness of epic proportions. Greed over humanity and integrity.

By the people; business is top down, government is SUPPOSED to be bottom up. WE decide who works for us!

They are only showing their true selves...unfortunately. Or maybe fortunately in moving forward with both eyes open!

I guess Trump can tell us the weather, after all, he knows everything...just ask him. All very sad. Science is being attacked, per usual. Maybe another country that values science can tell us what the planet is up to.

Why can't Trump ever "speak truth"? He sounds like a 6 year old, just lashing out insults at anything that displeases him. Like that kid in the grocery store kicking and screaming on the floor because Mommy didn't get the kind of cereal he wanted. Such a child..

It is obvious Elon is mentally challenged, he should have been in special education classes in school, but perhaps his family's money circumvented the process. They didn't do him any favors. And now, he throws our taxpayer money into a giant pit where gluttony and wasteful spending rule the day.

Perhaps the war of the new era is fought with the weapons we all hold. It is how the Russians won their propaganda war and got Trump in office. We need to go to uncomfortable places on the internet and speak truth, with courtesy and respect. These are fellow Americans. We cannot give up.

Well, 'promised land' seems a bit absolute. But Kamala would have definitely proved to be way more intelligent, compassionate, and would have let the people who know what they are doing do it!
