On education and infrastructure
I asked Claud Ai this:
The United States is spending 1 billion dollars a day to bomb Iran. It's been 11 days. What could that money be used for domestically to improve Americans' lives?
Here is the response
Starbucks’ CEO’s total compensation last year was $97,813,843. That’s 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista makes.
It’s a new level of corporate greed.
It would cost less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract. We stand in solidarity with them in this fight.
The only way to prevent future wars is to make fossil fuels useless.
Let’s kill EVs and green energy, said nobody. Enjoy your $5 gas coming soon nationwide MAGA SUV owners. www.cnn.com/2026/03/09/e...
Right on the nose. No amount of advertising or "new" products will get me to shop there again. The new "insider" CEO doesn't get it.
Every one of these dopes thinks they are the one to succeed by tying their wagon to Trump. Every one of them ends up as the coffee boy that he didn't know by the end. I predict the new one won't last a year.
When and where does Kristi Noem face her first state trial?
I have all these frequent flier miles, and it's been a long time since I got to watch something truly satisfying in person.
I want an EV, but I cannot afford a legacy auto company EV at $50-110k. Chinese auto company BYD is selling $28k EVs in Mexico. These legacy auto companies had better wake up, because there aren't enough rich people to sustain all of them.
The American auto companies decided to sell fewer vehicles at higher margins. They viewed EVs as the next cash cow, selling to wealthy people. Making 110k electric trucks is insane. It's trying to sell to an audience that thinks "rolling coal" is cool.
Can you imagine if we made fossil fuels worthless starting 40 years ago. We wouldn't have any interest in the Middle East region.
So the plans to sell EVs to the rich have failed. How about selling sub $20-25k EVs to the rest of us who want them? Hear that, American Auto companies? Can't keep out BYD forever.
I use Bluesky for politics, Flipboard for general news and YouTube for entertainment and learning.
The Network nightly news spends 10 minutes a night on this crap. There is no news reported from them anymore.
White oak trees are particularly strong and give good shade. I’m not sure how they do in Tennessee climate though.
Air America was a good idea just implemented poorly with not enough money to get it going. I started listening in my 20s, not very political and now I’m in my 50s very well engaged with political system.
My entire adult voting life the Democratic Party moderates have told liberals like me. Don’t move too fast. Don’t change things too fast. American public can’t handle it. The general public agrees with liberal policies when you strip the Democratic name off of it.
what is wrong with the USPS distribution in Nashville? I’ve had two packages rerouted to another state and then sent back to the seller. my address was correct on both.

I actually just bought it like two days ago. Loving it! Please keep Ray Porter narrating your books; he's amazing!
i’m glad you did. Keep writing and I’ll keep reading your books. 😊

Spot on, I know a billionaire in my town that calls people that are not rich like him “the peasants. “
It feels like it's time for another "Huffington Post" to be spun up, giving the "new" bloggers, aka SubStackers, a central outlet to be found and a place to bring their voices together. There's the DailyKos, but that's it, IDK. I have the skills to do it, but sadly, I don't have the resources.
Have you seen this @driftglass.bsky.social ? Your favorite guy is moving on to ruin another paper.
I have the audiobook. It’s awesome and I bought a physical copy and sent it to a friend to read. Keep up the great work John.
