  • Hold on.

    First line “One method”

    Last line “our last shot.”

    Pretty quick self contradiction.

    Besides, the 2026 are about 17 months away. There’s no way you could convene an Article V convention in that time.

    Sounds like you just don’t want to admit you haven’t got anything practical to suggest.





  • I recommend this book all the time. “Discover What You Are Best At.” Linda Gail. I got it when I was about your age. It’s a series of self tests you can finish in half a day, and then a list of jobs that use those skills. For example, a product demonstrator and a paramedic both need good social skills and good dexterity. Totally different jobs with a similar skill set.

    I found that just taking the course was helpful, because I was interacting with the other students.












  • Except that the rich know who to bribe with campaign contributions.

    Look at Ronald Reagan. As an actor, he was not a giant star. Plenty of folks got a higher salary. Reagan lucked into a job as spokesman for General Electric, at the time one of the biggest companies in the world. Reagan hung out with the big shots and introduced them to his Hollywood buddies; in return he got stock tips and investment opportunities that made him rich.



  • imho, it was Nixon who started America on this course. Nixon knew that the Vietnam War was unwinnable; he even ran in 1968 as a ‘peace candidate.’ He also knew that massive bombing would mean that the US steel mills would be working 24/7 and that would be great for the Unions and owners. All he had to do was pay for it with paper money, because he didn’t want to raise taxes.
