.......Another example, Judges TRY to give the same sentence to different criminals for the same crime. They call it sentencing guidelines.
I disagree. Fairness is an eye for an eye. That is not what our justice system is about.

Really? Really ? Lucky is by definition unfair. Fairness would mean everyone is lucky. Then it wouldn't be luck, it would just be.

Is it fair that (I assume) that you were born in the U.S. and so many people are born into extreme poverty in other countries?
Is it fair that you have clean drinking water and millions do not?
Is it fair that you get to live in the villages and an 18 year old cannot be an owner?
Is it fair that you have Freedom of Speech and Religion and so many do not?
The list is infinite and the answer to all is no. Life is not fair and is not even close to fair. You just have to make the best out of whatever you are dealt. Then some other points, but they are religious so I will leave them out so as not to side track things completely.

Define rapidly? Since over 90% of cars sold in the U.S. are ICEs, how are they antiquated? They are brand new and have MANY positives over the EVs (just as the EV has positives over the ICEs). You are just many years ahead of your time, if your time actually comes.

Biden said the workers should have a share of the profits….lol. Oh sure, mindless, tire mounters should share in profits…ignorant union fool doesnt understand economics….just understands a bud after work.

And I would be honored if I had any effect at all in stopping the posting of lies. Do you think 12% is about 20%? really?
How would it even make me superior to correct mistatements????
I didn't do anything to determine the numbers.
I didn't do anything to affect the numbers
I do not have access to any better information than anyone else (assuming they have the internet which a very high percentage of posters on TOTV do).
I do not have any better education than anyone else (that I know of).
I do not know my IQ or anyone else's on here.

How about trying what I do when someone points out that I am wrong.
1. Admit you are wrong and move on.
2. Don't continue to restate the exact same sentences even after you have been shown that it is wrong.

Isn't Climate Change THE MOST IMPORTANT? At least I could swear you said that in other threads...

No, the government is forcing them to switch to EVs by banning ICEs.

There must be no unions in Chicago then. Reports out last week have less that 10% of children of color reading or doing math at grade level.

Are the Packers now playing better football?

And they are losing 10's of thousands of $$$ on every one sold...

No, really? ;)

Should this apply to all employees or just auto workers?

Thought experiment: Smart kid goes to college, then medical or dental school. Defers 8+ years of income while training. Comes out of school half a million dollars in debt. Then takes on another half million in debt to start a practice. Now needs to hire a high school graduate as assistant or receptionist. Should that assistant get a cut of the profits? If so, why? Did they invest 8 years of their life and a million dollars of capital?

This is a legitimate question as I may have missed something in translation. Which post was yours in reference to? if it was the pure nonsense post, what was their axe to grind and what was the agenda?
sorry, not trying to be antagonistic (at least on this post) just trying to follow the conversation.
He wasn't using my post as an example. He was using the post I responded to as an example... You know, "Jimmy One Note"...
