One of my all time favorite political novels is ‘The Porkchoppers’ by Ross Thomas. It’s about a Union election in the Nixon Era. At one point one of the candidates holds a rally; to get more people to attend they hold a raffle. Surprise, the winner of the new boat is the cousin of one of the insiders.
Exact same thing happened this time.

“Stand On Zanzibar” won the 1969 Hugo award for best science fiction novel of the year.
It’s set in the early 2000’s and got so many of the details right it’s uncanny. Some of the ideas that people in 1969 laughed at were mass homelessness; well paid folks needing room mates to make the rent; random school shootings, etc etc.

So, you were surprised when boys who were just hitting puberty were interested in the girls who were actually flirting with them??
For perspective, Trump’s golf trips have cost over $10 million so far.

I don’t need to communicate with you chuds every day to see what you do collectively.
Says the guy who has sent five messages this morning.
Denial and projection.
I don’t need to communicate
Check your dictionary. What you are doing right now is ‘communicating.’
I expect you to respond, because you want to keep up the ‘communication.’
So, how many Americans do you communicate with? Dozens? Hundreds? Thousands? Every day? Every couple of hours? Every few minutes?
It would be tragic if it weren’t so funny.
I was thinking about Bill Clinton and Monica-gate.
The GOP was after Clinton from the minute he won the election. They kept pushing the Whitewater investigation, and screamed about every misstep the Clintons made. Travelgate, Vince Foster, Paula Jones, everything.
If they’d kept quiet and showed a little patience they probably would have been able to oust Clinton for lying under oath. Instead they over played it.
That’s why I’m happy to watch them try to say that hating Teslas is treason.
Stop living in a fantasy land.
You really think the US arsenal will just vanish without a trace?
My first thought was a false flag operation to make the Left look like terrorists.
Thanks. I was kinda wondering what you looked like.
You are so hilarious!
The USSR? You mean the country that fell apart after a series of missteps that made it the laughing stock of the world?
I suppose I should read the rest of what you wrote, but once I saw you referring to the land imploded itself I couldn’t go on. Maybe I’ll save it for when I need a good laugh.
Actually, the most logical thing is VR. Give folks full exoskeletons to mimic actual real world conditions and a five sense helmet.
Boring to look at from the outside.
