American politics

It's always been the role of federal agencies to act under the control of the President (with a little from both houses).

This is not a constitutional problem, nor is it (as many would wish) a legal one - it's an electoral issue. This is the normal flow of power through the normal routes. The problem now is that it's being controlled by people those on the Left don't want to control it and they have social media to shout very loudly about it.

Time is already ticking until the next election,. People need to stop focusing on legal challenges that will fail and start to focus on providing an electoral solution to an electoral problem. They need to put forward a candidate and policies that can challenge all these issues they don't like, whilst solving the most pressing issues for the average voter.



I'm happy to tip when it's earned. But the industry seems to be moving away from actual service at the same time as demanding more in tips.

Americans used to be the best in the world at mid level service (chain restaurants, bar staff, etc) and it was one of the things I always enjoyed when visiting. Now many chain restaurants have you order on an app/tablet and all your server does is carry food to your table.

I tried to put 0% on a restaurant bill so I could give our waitress a tip in cash and neither she nor her manager could work out how to do that! The system wouldn't allow it.


No, saving that for when the kids are grown. Currently we can convince them to spend a week doing what we want if we can spend a week or two in Florida doing all the theme parks and stuff they want to do. I spent a very short time in Spokane about 20 years ago but was working more than anything else.

Once the kids aren't tagging along I'm going to do some wine tours out there. My parents have been a few times and keep talking it up. Apparently the Napa Valley Wine train is worth the trip by itself. Bodega Bay looks lovely - think that would have to be a road trip for a month or so to see everything.

California is amazing. I'll make suggestions when the time comes. North is better than south...

...all you're saying is technically correct. The daily applications, however, are not bearing it out. As far as candidacy, yes I agree and the next election (providing there is one) will not be about logical policy. Don't forget January 6th.
