Albert Einstein on Socialism:

https://monthlyreview.org/2009/05/01/why-socialism/

This crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who is trained to worship acquisitive success as a preparation for his future career.

I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion. A planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman, and child. The education of the individual, in addition to promoting his own innate abilities, would attempt to develop in him a sense of responsibility for his fellow men in place of the glorification of power and success in our present society.

No, it did not. My friend is a big Tesla fan and was really excited about the unveiling. He was pretty shell shocked.  ;D

I was planning on going electric with my next car and was waiting to see this truck.  Really disappointed.

I think the Rivian truck is interesting...they've got investment from Ford.  Not sure of Canadian plans as of yet, and they're still a couple of years away in the US.
 
Relationships are so weird at times. So this girl contacted me on dating site, we have been talking pretty much every day for 2 months. She's talked about how she wants to show me Copenhagen and the city she lives in here in Sweden. Which we agreed upon, and I would show her Stockholm. Last evening she told me how much she likes getting messages from me. So, today after 2 months she sends me a message saying: "I'm not the one you are looking for, with all due respect, good luck."

So now i'm confused ??? So I just sent her a message saying that i'm confused and i'm not sure what happend.

Have you met this women or have had video chats with her? Something similar happened to a friend of mine where the woman was misrepresenting herself and got cold feet.

No, and she told me that she doesn't want to meet anyone until may, because she is on some medication which leads to weight gain, and I've told her that i'm fine with that, and that she should take the time she needs. We've had very open discussions about health so..
 
Apparently delivering packages is difficult. My house number is above my garage, easy to read. To the right off the driveway is a patio stone walkway right to my front porch. To the left is my neighbour's lawn and his eavestrough downspout and deflector that you would need to step over to get to his front porch from my driveway.

Twice today we got notifications from Amazon saying our packages had been delivered yet they were nowhere in sight. The one had a cute photo of my neighbour's porch saying it was hidden behind a bag of salt.

I'm normally not hard on people, but cmon how dumb can you be!  These Amazon delivery drivers are real knuckle draggers!  ::)

Hoo boy, the UK is going to have an interesting couple of years.

Is that the couple of years it has left before it breaks up?

Ya I can see the Union Jack separating, especially the Scots. Overall the UK social system is beyond repair. My wife's totally dysfunctional extended family live there and they are all on the take. The system is so utterly misused its completely unbelievable. The few times I do hear her family news, I just shake my head. I just can't believe that people look at life as a big snatch and grab off the government. Good luck to anyone leading the place.
Going to collapse at some point.
 
Sometimes I like to imagine going back in time 7 or 8 years and having to explain to my younger self that what would be trending on Twitter in December of 2019 would be JK Rowling being in trouble for her views on Biological Essentialism, the USDA taking Wakanda off of its list of Free Trade partners and the impeachment of President Trump.

Like, would my younger self think I'd gone horribly insane or just was on bath salts or...
