Now that Rockwell is gone we need a new American company to make spaceships.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockwell_International

We can manufacture the new spaceships in Mojave, California.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojave,_California

We need the best and the brightest Americans to start and run a new spaceship company in Mojave. And New Yorkers can help to get the company started and up and running. 

Now that Rockwell and the Space Shuttles are gone, we need new spaceships to replace the Space Shuttles and we need a new company to replace Rockwell to make them. 

The best and brightest in the USA need to rise to the top and start a new company to make spaceships in the desert, in Mojave, California.

And the new United States Space Force might be headquartered in the desert, in the Antelope Valley, where the Space Shuttles were made.

Salute,

Tony V.

Maybe Biden is "ahead" because Trump's is a failed Presidency.

Yes.

But in fact....... no.
In fact... yes.

Harris's best bet was to not come across as a harpy.  Fail, I'd think.

But you so rarely do. 

If a white male  Republican questions sharply,  they're tough minded and strong.   If a woman,  they're harpies.

American manufacturing had seen a rebirth under Trump. The sector added 450,000 workers during the first three-plus years of Trump’s presidency before the COVID-19 pandemic caused nonessential businesses to temporarily close their doors, resulting in the loss of 700,000 jobs during the March-through-September period, according to the National Association of Manufacturers.

But the sector is on the path to recovery.

NAM said the number of manufacturing job openings in August reached 460,000, the highest since July 2019, despite the number of job openings in the overall economy declining. Additionally, there will likely be a need for 4.6 million manufacturing jobs by 2028

There are 2% fewer jobs in total now, over 3 million fewer, than when trump raised his hand and lied to Justice Roberts and started doing “weird shit” in the rain in front of a much smaller than advertised crowd.

Trump joins Herbert Hoover as the only president to inflict net negative job loss, not just no gain but actual loss on the United States. Hoover only lost a net of under 2000 and he never caused a need for morgue trucks, the abiding emblem of the republican party and the trump administration.

Fox and fox business are DSM networks. When you cite them, it goes down your chart.

It is what it is.

Seniors & service members, active and retired, urge you to vote Biden.

So many things, most of which have been enumerated here in detail previously, while you largely blithely ignored them.

Start with the climate crisis. That would be more than enough if we did not have the pandemic.

Just like he will bring back the coal industry and its jobs and he will be the best president for LGBT folks.

Got it.

"Studies show long lines are more common in areas with high populations of minority and low-income voters.

Researchers who used 2019 mobile phone data to track disparities in wait times found that majority-black neighbourhoods waited 29 per cent longer to vote.

Non-white voters are seven times more likely than white voters to face a wait time of one hour or more."

"Whitehouse, who used his time in Tuesday's hearing to lay out what he called the connections between dark-money groups and legal advocates that have helped support the revolution in the federal judiciary under President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., made a simpler argument on Wednesday.

The wealthiest and most powerful clients and lawyers used their knowledge of legal practices at the highest levels, along with, in at least one case, signals by then-Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia about his readiness to overturn an existing precedent, in order to bring about a case that ultimately disposed of a doctrine they opposed, Whitehouse said.

He also suggested the Supreme Court might need to apply the same ethical guidelines in use at the appellate level — Barrett said she was surprised it already doesn't."

Hmm.   Oh wait... for you,  Kam:  Hmmmmm.
