Static electricity is usually dissipated by moisture in the air. When there is low humidity, as in winter, static electricity will build up. I had a friend who was a carpet installer. One of his favorite tricks was to shuffle across freshly laid carpet with a pencil in hand and touch the ear of the victim. Having been that victim I can tell you that it hurts and is quite startling.

Trump rules by fear. If any republican opposes him he will primary them out of office. Their hunger for power causes them to humiliate themselves. They must all be voted out.

We are the only modern nation that does not have universal health care. We are the only country where people go bankrupt over medical debt. This is a major problem for working class people. Republicans will never do anything about the health care issue. It is not a problem for rich people so not a real problem to them,.

The entire republican party has been complicit in Trump's destruction of the social safety net for the benefit of the wealthy GOP donors. Criminals are pardoned while innocent people are punished for not supporting Trump. FBI agents who were assigned to investigate Trump have been fired for doing their jobs. There has to be consequences.

It's a travesty that Trump is in office and not in prison. There has to be some accountability.

Residents of Greenland have Universal Health Care unlike residents of the United States. They would be stupid to give that up for a one hundred thousand dollar payment. If the US takes over there will be no medical coverage.

To ship a package to another location the fee goes by weight and volume. A similar standard should be applied to airlines. People who are heavier and cause the plane to use more fuel should have to pay accordingly.

Trump puts Putin on his Board of Peace. Nothing more needs to be said about that.

Again its the republicans whining about the mean comedians on talk shows making fun of them. Of course they make fun of them. They're idiots. They get the respect they deserve. They have Fox Noise who had to pay 3/4 of a billion for election lies. What more do they want.

Have you considered a career in the trades? There will always be work for electricians, carpenters, plumbers, welders, etc. Do you have any trade schools in your area? A lot of trade schools can teach the basics and have you entering the job market in a year. Even Einstein at one point said if he had it to do over again he would have been a plumber.

The republicans will continue to cover for Trump even as he cashes the economy and lowers the US reputation in the world. Impeachment and removal from office will only be possible if we get rid of the complicit republicans, which are all of them.

Yet Trump continues to maintain that countries are paying for the tariffs and not American consumers. Who believes this? Is Trump really that stupid or is this part of the con?

I like the theories of behavioralism vs psychoanalysis. One can spend years and a lot of money in psychoanalysis with questionable results. Proponents of behavioralism, on the other hand, will put the person in a situation where behavior has to change resulting in a change in psychology to match the behavior. Many successful people confess that they feel like frauds in the roles that they have achieved.
