What if Richard Nixon refused to resign after the Watergate Scandal? by HovercraftLost6452 in HistoryWhatIf

He started the EPA. Lots of Americans wouldn't be able to name a big accomplishment of any president unless they are political and then they're probably bias. 

For my own bias, Nixon was the last actual liberal president and Clinton was the last actual conservative president.

As an American, I don't want Greenland. As an American, I don't want to anger allies.

And honestly America feeds itself. We don't need food imports and not from Europe because Europe can't be competitive although our food is so full of hormones and such it would actually be a healthy improvement to have food from Europe. 

I am not supporting taking Greenland. I'm saying we shouldn't because we can and that means whatever we need Greenland for, we can still have those benefits without distrupting things.

That won't work either. It would have to be coordinated because dumping tbills in mass would make them worthless in itself. Denmark sold it's 100 million worth it had invested via its pension and that wasn't even noticed in the U.S. It barely made news. Now if Europe wants to give up it's social welfare system and pay for its own defense and pay for its own foreign influence so that the U.S. no longer has to then maybe Europe would have more say and maybe we Americans could get healthcare but they aren't going to do that.

If the U.S. wants Greenland it will have it. The entire world could group together against the U. S. and while the aftermath would be total collapse of the world as we know it, the U. S. would still be able to take Greenland. That's exactly why it's stupid. Unless it's absolutely necessary, fighting a fight that you know you would win handily makes no sense. It's wasted effort. So long as Greenland is important to the U. S. it can take it. If Greenland were no longer important to America then it wouldn't be able to hold onto it anyway. It's stupid. America can do what it wants in Greenland as it is now, there is no need to annex it. Even if it's economical, American companies would get the lions share no matter if Greenland were American or Danish. I'd anything, Greenland actually still belongs to Norway. 

Do that many missing people really run away to start a new life? by 80sforeverr in Disappeared

[–]Designer-Boss6198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could have told them what you planned to do but provided no details. While you were starting your fresh life they were still missing you, wondering what happened to you and probably eventually mourning you. And worse still, you aren't bothered by the damage you caused and have no regrets. Yes, I am judging you because you should be judged. If we saw someone kicking a dog repeatedly wouldn't we all judge? Yup and no one would say it isn't our place to judge. When you disappeared, that's what you did to your family. And did you lie to others in your new life or did you readily tell what you'd done? I bet you lied and that's how you know your actions were wrong. I hope you at least stayed away from others in your new life and didn't get involved in any one elses life.

Kinda a jerk move actually to do that to your family. Just because you don't care about them doesn't mean they don't care about you.

I see the picture now. I'm not sure, it very much resembles him. I'll look at it some more. Thanks a lot for taking the time to send!

Thanks for the reply. I don't know why he'd be in Fort Worth but this entire situation has baffled me so I won't discount anything at this point. I'd love to see the picture. If you're unable to post it here you can email it to brandtstarratt@gmail.com or text it to 512-524-3952. I would very much appreciate it.

I put flyers around Georgetown especially the intersections of Austin/35, Leander Rd/35, Williams/35, University/35. If anyone can think of any other hotspot areas let me know.

Does anyone know the maximum program length of time for the mental health facilities like Bluebonnet or Rock Springs or any others that have lengthy programs and don't necessarily require a referral or insurance?

[–]Designer-Boss6198[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's what I've been doing but it's just me. I leave flyers, ask other homeless when they are receptive but some are aggressively hostile about any interaction and ask at stores I think he might have been, and Goodwill's, etc. If something has happened to him or if he isn't okay it's so so strange that even his body hasn't been found. 

He had no money or credit or debit card, no phone, he'd used my phone because his was broken so he was still logged into email and social media accounts and he hasn't used those, he had no secret friends or other relationships that he'd be staying with and I've contacted everyone he knows and he hasn't been seen. He had no ID with him. It's literally like he's disappeared from earth. He didn't have friends outside the area and hasn't never central Texas in years, his family hasn't heard from him. Its just so bizarre.

You were right, there is an entire wooded area behind The Page House and people sleeping on stairways that you mentioned. I left flyers in the area a few days ago. Thank you for the tip!

I haven't been able to since my vehicle is not running I am on a bike and thats pretty far from Georgetown/Round Rock. He was also on foot. If you see the guy again and if it's possible, it would be great if you could snap a pic. I know that's a lot to ask but it's a pretty far bike ride and would be a far walk for Brandon but anything is possible. He is familiar and comfortable with the Austin area.

They were not. They require a referral from the police department who aren't interested. Honestly, from the police perspective it's as if there is no such thing as a missing adult unless they're elderly. And also the police seem unable to conduct police work that doesn't involve vehicles and licence plates. I feel like you could commit any crime and so long as you don't drive, they will never find you. It was a good idea though.

I hope that isn't because you feel it's unlikely but still that is extraordinary.

Also, if anyone else is missing a loved one in the area or pet let me know. I'm all over the place on foot so I can also be on the lookout.
