America's Political Turmoil
It almost seems ultra redundant for me to start this thread because we have talked about this all over the place from the metaphorical engine to the caboose, but I find the following summation of the tangled web that is currently the state of U.S. politics to be spot on. How we will ever extricate ourselves from this mess,…

Iran and Syria
I was wondering if anyone had any articles about plans for war with these two countries. I'm in argument with a couple of my buddies that, as of now, plans are laid out for war with North Korea, Iran, and Syria. They don't seem to agree. They agree that plans are ready for North Korea, but they don't believe in plans for…

"The National Day of Truth and Reconciliation is a statutory holiday. The third annual...day, which coincides with Orange Shirt Day, is meant to bring awareness and reflection on the legacy of Canada’s residential school system, which aimed to erase the languages and cultures of the Indigenous peoples of this land." - CBC…

**THE POSSIBLE IMPEACHMENT OF HUNTER BIDEN...NOW WAIT A MINUTE...WHAT? THREAD**
Maga republicans held their first impeachment inquiry hearing today and spent more time, as usual, talking about the President's son rather than the President himself. Seems as if the stuff they are concerned about happened prior to Joe even being President too, which is odd, to say the least. Figured it deserved it's own…

The Disappearing Bees
Anyone been reading up on this? Bill Mahr and Howard Stern have both commented on this. It seems the bee population is rapidly decreasing. They’re blaming pesticides, disease, the transporting of bee’s and cell phones. I really hope the main problem is cell phones. It would be cool if they had to outlaw them.

Pearl Jam playing TEXAS?
I moved this outta the Tour Announcement thread..."Ok. Whatever, man. This is a thread for the tour. I’m seeing 4 shows I can drive to so I’m happy and done discussing politics. Have a good day." Simple question...what's the thinking behind the FOUR dates in Greg Abbott's TEXAS on this minitour (AKA Florida's cousin)? I'm…

CONSERVATIVE PEARL JAM FANS
The new "Ridin' with Biden" T-shirt made me remember the concert poster Jeff designed, where President Trump was dead outside of the White House. It got me thinking of what the band might possibly think about their conservative/Trump supporting fans, such as me. I have no issue with the band's politics because they always…

The Legacy of 9/11
How do you think 9/11 changed America and you? I remember that after 9/11 the whole world became united as one, it seemed that for perhaps the first time ever we became the 'human race', as opposed to different countries, religions etc. The whole world agreed that things needed to change, and rallied behind America.…

Hawaii Wildfires - Maui
If you want to help out, in addition to Pearl Jam raffling off a signed 1998 Hawaii poster re-issue and the usual disaster relief agencies like the American Red Cross, the WaPo listed the following organizations that seem more local and specific. Give if you can, its devastating. 67 confirmed fatalities. From the WaPo: The…

Ahhh Captalism
you will notice - influential businessmen one by one will start to give a bad outlook on the future of the market. to be sure, before they do, they will sell a good portion of their stocks and advise theirs to do the same.. they make the public negative outlook. This in hopes to scare other investors out - lowering prices.…

BRICS
https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/24/business/saudi-arabia-brics-invitation-intl/index.html Haven't seen anyone talking about this but it could turn into something. Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa formed a group whom are some of the fastest growing economic economies today and will most likely be in charge of…

Just Admit It
The fact that voting at this point matters,is laughable. Sit back and let them vote themselves in,just like they've always done. Just admit it,that if you have no power or money,what you think or want is irrelevant.

OPEC
Hear on the news this morning that Qatar is leaving OPEC to focus on Natural Gas production. https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/03/business/qatar-opec-withdrawal/index.html Not sure what this means for the future and oil prices. I'm surprised there isn't an OPEC thread so, now there is.

How Democracies Die - Book/Article Discussion
I'm reading a book called How Democracies Die that I figured many on here would be interested in. If you want to read a few excerpts from it, there was a Vox article recently published about it. Would love to discuss the content with anyone on here.…

Obama admin takes aim at China’s renewable-energy subsidies
This article makes the U.S. look like a rather insecure country, doesn't it? Or perhaps we just refuse to take our heads out of the sand... http://www.grist.org/article/2010-12-28 ... qus_thread Last week, in a move that pits American labor against China's green-technology industry, the Obama administration filed a…

“Seattle is Dying” KOMO Doc.
I went to Seattle for one of the home shows last summer. I have been to Seattle four times in the past 15 years but the first time since 2013. I noticed the homeless problem was (much) worse and applaud the boys in PJ for what they did. I stumbled across a recent documentary on KOMO. This is a real eye-opener. I suggest…
