I feel like I've lived long enough, that even new opportunities that should be exciting make me sad instead.

Initially that could make sense. But what if you spend, say a decade at trying to make a baseball career. You get out there 100% of the time and swing and swing and swing. But you keep missing and missing and missing until one day you look up, it's ten years later, you realize you're at 0% hits much less any home-runs and your chances of being entered into the HOF are laughable at best. And on top of it all your secret weapon that should have been a home run when you needed it most and could have made a difference was....called unfairly: "YOU'RE OUT!"

You had the charisma, you choked up on your bat, you checked and re-checked your stance, got the best advice from all the pros, and still after a decade, Nothing, At, All.

Would you not, after becoming the joke of every other professional baseball player in the country having consistently laughed at you, finally just come to admit that maybe, just maybe, you really really suck at baseball?

And if you're worried it's the game I guess it could be. But it's either the game or you and what are the odds?

And you can't just go try football or basketball because you spent the potential best years of your professional life stuck in baseball something you totally sucked at. So now what?

What now? Still be all, "Go for the 30%! Sis boom bah!" No you'd start writing posts like the op.


Yours is a good reply but to me, to someone like me, and it's totally true I could be wrong, it seems a bit young.


Might just be me though. And my old age. And lots enough of experience with life...

I dunno. If that meant anything I would know. So I dunno.

To be fair, the reverse can be true...it's true many young people feel they are invincible or are over-ambitious but the opposite is just as true...many feel like they have no hope and no prospects and that nothing will ever get better...hence why young folks have a tragically high suicide rate.

Hey, you fail every single time. That's really extraordinary, in my experience...I've never known someone who failed at everything they did every time. You should keep trying just to keep the streak going. Most people don't fail all of the time. Maybe no one ever did...you could be the first. Think about that.

Car parts for both foreign and domestic car manufacturers come from China. Just because I it is assembled here does not mean China does not profit.

In hospitals I bet their equipment is the same way.

that is interesting. Still, I prefer to buy american in any case.

I do recall seeing said on an "american car" once that 80 percent of the parts came from Korea, if I remember correctly. There may be other options for companies if they had the desire...though I would not be surprised if China would generally be the cheaper option for them. Tariffs can potentially change that.

Ironically, we have been buying a lot of medical supplies from china because they are more readily available there than here. So I would say we have to wait for a general boycott until our own manufacturing can catch up...

I would say that I agree that american manufacturing ought to be invested in where possible. Why do so many people buy german and japanese cars when american cars are fine?

I mean, we were already in the midst of a trade war with China with tariffs. Why not step that up to embargo, once we are more in control of this pandemic? That would be far harsher for china and more effective than individuals deciding not to buy certain goods.

On the other hand, they are one of the most powerful country's in the world, with a lot of influence, especially regionally...they can make diplomatic life a lot harder for the US if they really wanted to. So official action might be the wrong way to go for that reason.

A great help..co.

I've always been on and off on this site and i have no idea who this person is but i do know that the type of person you speak of is like a fire in that it will die if you suck out the oxygen. Don't let people have power over you.

Now that your Great Quest is fulfilled you leave middle earth for some vague continent that no one ever heard of until the end if the story.

- March 2012 - Putin wins the 2012 Russian presidential election (his third term)

I just wish more could be done to stop it. Or the fact that it is happening would make people angrier. Sigh.

The fact that there hasn't been some kind of counterattack is also deeply troubling. I don't mean war...but we should have ramped up our support to Ukraine in response (like providing them armored vehicles and/or tanks and training), or did some kinda of cyber attack in retaliation.
