The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.
Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar.
We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
Oh I get it.
I'm currently involved in almost weekly arguments online because I have the audacity to advocate for the removal of low-head dams on the Fox and DuPage Rivers here in the Chicago area. And the argument roadmap you provided is EXACTLY how it's played out with the removal of one dam...
GEAR GRINDER:
I'm sure some of you saw THIS TREND last Fall.
Well it has now trickled down to the High School level. And it's gonna be a complete shit show of epic proportions to officiate this coming Spring. Coaches are already specifically asking about the legality of it (nothing wrong...
If you want a laugh, go read the comments on TV6's Facebook post about DOGE cutting 13 USFW jobs in the U.P. mainly centered around Lake Trout management.
This crosses over with many outdoors people being a combo of extremely "Anti-government" and "Anti-science/knowlege".
They all think that every DNR is run by idiots and that a single law/regulation/management strategy in their lifetime has been a success. They all know exactly how to fix it...
I'm starting to believe that violence is gonna be the only way out of this mess. MAGA has just become too entrenched. It needs to be burned out now.
I have no faith in the General Public making smart choices from this point forward.
I don't disagree.
Elon getting Luigi-ed wouldn't get the headlines of a POTUS or other major head of state, but holy crap would it (at least momentarily) pump the brakes on some of the behind the scenes stuff going on. Moreso than Dumpy probably actually.
I think that this is something that just naturally molds to whatever narrative you want to push at the time...
Rural IL thinks no one actually lives in Chicago proper anymore because of gang warfare. People in Chicago think that anything South of I-80 or West of I-39 is like 27 total people.
But I would bet that a majority of Americans don't care about what happens in Ukraine or the Middle East. That's where things stand currently.
Ukraine is one thing... But I am someone who 100% couldn't care less about Gaza. Let that part of the world bomb the shit out of themselves for...
To be honest,
Most Americans don't care for overseas military endeavors anymore. Both Red AND Blue on that one.
The Forever War in the Middle East pushed a lot of people towards isolationism.
Today I learned that MAGA seems to believe that because of all the "fraud" that DOGE is finding, there is gonna be some increase of their tax returns... You know, give the $$$$ back to the people that paid in...
I just had to shake my head and take my drink and snacks into the locker room so...
Basically.
Given USCHO's lack of fundamental knowledge of how things are in the South actually are, however, I just felt that it needed to be stated how deep that something like this would cut.
(And I know you're from that part of the country so I know you understand this)
(Also, I 100%...
There is a VERY sizable chunk of the Southeast that is both white AND relies on Medicaid/Disability/SNAP/etc. Within Appalachia its almost impossible to not know someone who is getting something like that. And for many, it's their lone path to leading something that resembles a "normal" life...
At this point make people openly pick a side. Pour gas on the tinder and force it to ignite.
I.m fucked either way, so just rip the bandaid off and start a shooting civil war instead of a Cold War.
I was told in other thread(s) that the Military is simply here to do whatever bidding Cheeto wants done... You mean they will stand up against his outlandish ramblings?!
