This post might perfectly encapsulate the attitude and ineptitude of the Democratic party for the last half century, with even the correct amount of condescension drizzled on top.
Element #1, the smartest guys in the room. You have carefully and correctly identified the root of the problem,...

What I meant by political solution (and as I wrote in my post) is that it's a worthless, toothless solution that politicians come up with so they can say "we did something" in response to everyone demanding "do something," even though the solution won't address the problem.

I posted long ago that the only real solution is to basically ban private ownership of guns. If people want to try that, I won't stand in their way, even though I own some guns I've used for hunting. Short of that you cannot eliminate these events.
I think taxing ammunition is a good...Leave a comment:

Well that's what I'm asking about this "gun insurance."
You buy car insurance to cover loss or damage to your own vehicle, but to also provide you with liability coverage if you should cause an accident and cause loss or damage to someone else. However, I'm pretty sure most of...Leave a comment:

I think the tax idea on guns or ammunition is a better idea than insurance. What are you going to buy insurance for? To pay people damages when you shoot them? I think there is a pretty strong public policy argument against having people buy insurance that covers intentional, violent acts like shooting...Leave a comment:

Minnesota could have a pretty interesting race to fill an empty seat in Congress. Jim Hagedorn (R) died a few months back, and there is a special election scheduled in August to fill his seat. Presumably then the winner will run as the incumbent in November. Yesterday they had a primary to narrow...Leave a comment:

The Denver story is actually a little more interesting than that.
Apparently in the days following Columbine, the NRA leadership had some meetings about this very issue. Someone at those meetings recorded them, and twenty years later a reporter from NPR got them and did an interesting...Leave a comment:

Along the lines of discussion on interviewing, I saw a program about the use of AI in interviews and the application process, including in video interviews. Companies are using programs that analyze the interviewee's voice/speech patterns and facial movements during the interview. Apparently these programs...Leave a comment:

The system didn't fail.
Flying planes to foreign countries is exactly what to do in this situation. A plant is taken temporarily off line. We temporarily authorize the import of foreign made formula. We send some planes over to pick it up until the plant is back up and running. Problem...Leave a comment:

No, my attitude is not that nothing can be done. My attitude is that I'm not sure there is anything that needs to be done, at least on any sort of permanent basis.

The federal government buys half the formula that's produced in this country. They desire to buy it as cheaply as possible, so they enter into exclusive contracts with manufacturers. If you don't have one of those contracts, why compete?...Leave a comment:

In Minnesota it works this way. If the trunk is entirely on your property, you may do what you like with it. If it’s entirely on your neighbors property, you may trim that part hanging over your land, but only if it causes no harm to the tree(terrible appearance is not harm.) If the trunk is on...Leave a comment:
