About 30 years ago it got decided that everyone needed to go to college. Silly idea, but it's at the root of where we are now and a lot of other issues

To run up a $200,000 tab for a job that will pay $60,000. After 7-10 years. Not a good choice.


$60,000? Dream on. These kids today are working two 30hr jobs w/o benefits just to make ends meet and to pay the month bill on loans that are designed to last the rest of their lives.

If the snowman doesn't get them, they may still be trying to pay back their loans in 2095.

HYPERSONIC VACUTRAINS

This form of transport works by combining the principles of maglev trains and pneumatic tubes. The trains, or vactrains as they are called, travel inside a closed tube, levitated and pushed forward by magnetic fields. After passing through an airlock, the train cars enter a complete vacuum inside the tube. With no air friction to slow it down, the vactrain can reach speeds far beyond that of any traditional rail system. The fastest routes can now reach speeds of around 4,000 mph (6,400 km/h)* – around five times the speed of sound – compared to a 300 mph maglev train a century earlier.

Don't you remember the Nissan Rouge commercials with the evil snow men?

Calvin and Hobbes had a number of great snow men cartoons, e.g.

Were those Nissan ads shown on TV?
Had never seen them.
I'm not sure that was a great loss.

Yes. Kind of "targeted ads". They were more prevalent "up here" as we have bad winters with lots of snow and ice.

Yes, but also true. The ability to cook bacon is critical to one's well being.
