Nobody who matters has discussed resurrection of the draft

Maybe someone's testing the waters. :)

No need for a draft anyway...cannon fodder troops is oh so "yesterday".
As mommy dearest told a younger bambu..."The next war will be 'one flash and you're ash'".

300 million Americans in their homes, heavily armed, expertly trained, ready and willing to slaughter any invading armies...good for national defence...better than any draft.

Ron DeSantis lax gun stance leads to a mass shooting in Tampa to the surprise of no one.

Our silver lining is that Bambu is too terrified to visit the US.

The most terrifying thing is that I would basically have to throw $35 of every $100 of my money away in the process.

Bambu, I was just looking, and it is only $150 to ride a Greyhound Bus from Los Angeles to New York City...

https://www.greyhound.com/en-us/bus-from-los-angeles-to-new-york

You can spend a couple of weeks in Los Angeles seeing Hollywood and the museums and studios, etc, and the beaches, etc, and then ride Greyhound across the nation getting to see the whole USA as you travel across the nation, and then you can spend a couple of weeks in New York seeing Broadway and the Russian Tea Room, and Central Park, and the Statue of Liberty, and the Metropolitan Opera, etc. Give yourself 6 weeks to come see L.A. then see the whole nation as you travel by Greyhound from one coast to the other coast and then spend a couple of weeks in New York. If money were no object, you could stay at the Beverly Hills Hotel in a Bungalow like Howard Hughes while in Los Angeles, they call it the "Pink Palace" as the hotel is famously painted pink. I do not know where to stay in New York, I will have to learn.

https://www.dorchestercollection.com/los-angeles/the-beverly-hills-hotel/rooms-suites/beverly-hills-bungalow-suite

Maybe some of the people on here from New York can recommend cool hotels to stay at in New York City.

Here is a hotel on Mulberry Street, in Manhattan, that sounds like a safe hotel, and it is $200 per night.

By the way, when I went to the Beverly Hills Hotel to apply for a job then Hugh Hefner was there that day, it was cool, Hef used to hang out at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Salute,

I heard that Little Italy in NYC is getting smaller, while China Town is growing by leaps and bounds.

We still have Italians coming to the USA but I think a lot of them are coming to California now, the Italians love San Diego, etc.

Meanwhile, San Bernardino, California looks like a wasteland, after having been beautiful in the 1950s. Maybe we can invite the Chinese to have an enclave in San Bernardino to help to save San Bernardino. Real Estate is cheap in San Bernardino by California standards, and they can work to improve the schools, etc. There is the California State University in San Bernardino, and they have other schools. The Chinese are welcome to come to San Bernardino and to help to save the city. The most powerful politician in the region is Sabrina Cervantes who is a Democrat. The people from the Philippines are also welcome to help to save San Bernardino, and the city can also expand trade with Mexico, etc. San Bernardino needs helpers.

Salute,

Tony V.

A new trade center is being built in San Bernardino County and Mexico is our number one trade partner, the refugees from Ukraine, and also the Chinese, and Filipinos, and others, and Russians, and others, can join the Teamsters and they can drive trucks, and they can ship goods all over the USA on a trucking and rail network.

https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2023-mexico-china-us-trade-opportunity/

The Chinese, and the Filipinos, and the people from Ukraine, and the Russians, are all welcome to help to save San Bernardino, California.

And the California State University in San Bernardino can help to organize and aid improvement in San Bernardino, along with help from Sabrina Cervantes, etc.

Salute,

I keep getting an error message 1016.
My time here could be shortlived, by things out of my control.
I deleted duck duck go browser from my device and reloaded it.
That works for now.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring.
Message said something about this site being in/on 'cloudfare' or something.
exelba worked fine, but it seems to have been closed.
Could this site be moved to that platform?

Oh well, such is life, not everything that should be simple is.


If this forum doesn't work out,..... looks like I could be blocked from here by the cloudfarians and their "error 1016" .....I'll be at US Message Boards.

Anaheim is rich because of Disneyland and also from having sports teams and stadiums, and a convention center, etc. We receive 50,000 new tourists every new day and they all come here and spend money. The tourists sleep in the hotels, and they eat at the restaurants, etc.

Vegas has Tourism too.

And the USA has Hoover Dam, which provides water and power for a huge number of people, plus it supports agriculture, etc. The USA has benefited from dams.

And we need to build new libraries and bookstores, etc, and here we even have an old fashion record store, they have vinyl, and DVDs, and CDs, etc. The name of the store is "For Your Entertainment" and these wonderful stores need to be in every neighborhood. And the bands and the movie studios and everyone makes money from the Entertainment stores. We can sneak educational videos into the Entertainment stores. I have bought DVDs on History for example, we have entertainment that teaches us.

I look forward to seeing New York City someday. I love Florida, and I am sure New York is great, Florida is full of New Yorkers. New York is amazing with 8.2 million people, New York is the largest city in the USA. I have had a lot of friends and bosses from New York, and I love the Italians, and I love the Jews, and I love the Chinese, I will be fine in New York. I might even go listen to some jazz in Harlem like Sinatra used to do. I am sure that New York is a great City.

Salute,

Tony V.

Mrs bambu loved New York City...she and her small travel group walked everywhere.
Winter it was.
A true winter wonderland, just like in the movies.

I am sure that I am going to love New York City, I look forward to traveling there eventually.

I attended The American Academy of Dramatic Arts which is the oldest professional acting school in the world, with a campus in New York City, as well as a campus at the Charlie Chaplin Studio here in Hollywood, California. I had a lot of great teachers from New York. My favorite teacher was born in Buffalo, and she attended NYU while living in the Village, and she studied with Uta Hagen and Sanford Meisner and all of the great acting teachers in New York City.

I went to college with a guy who owns a Crazy Otto's restaurant in New York City, and he also owns a couple of restaurants in Lancaster, California.

If I was rich I would go see see New York right now. But, I need to earn the money first. After I earn some money I want to travel. I am sure New York will be great.

Salute,

Tony V.
