GreatEvilEmpire 11/27/18 5:18:53 PM #45	Paper_Okami posted... Everything you just said is objectively wrong As part of its effort to overthrow the Sandinista government in neighboring Nicaragua and roll back the regions leftist movements, the Reagan administration temporarily stationed several hundred U.S. soldiers in Honduras. Moreover, it trained and sustained Nicaraguas contra rebels on Honduran soil, while greatly increasing military aid and arm sales to the country. The Reagan years also saw the construction of numerous joint Honduran-U.S. military bases and installations. Such moves greatly strengthened the militarization of Honduran society. In turn, political repression rose. There was a dramatic increase in the number of political assassinations, disappearances and illegal detentions. The Reagan administration also played a big role in restructuring the Honduran economy. It did so by strongly pushing for internal economic reforms, with a focus on exporting manufactured goods. It also helped deregulate and destabilize the global coffee trade, upon which Honduras heavily depended. These changes made Honduras more amenable to the interests of global capital. They disrupted traditional forms of agriculture and undermined an already weak social safety net. These decades of U.S. involvement in Honduras set the stage for Honduran emigration to the United States, which began to markedly increase in the 1990s. In the post-Reagan era, Honduras remained a country scarred by a heavy-handed military, significant human rights abuses and pervasive poverty. Still, liberalizing tendencies of successive governments and grassroots pressure provided openings for democratic forces. They contributed, for example, to the election of Manuel Zelaya, a liberal reformist, as president in 2006. He led on progressive measures such as raising the minimum wage. He also tried to organize a plebiscite to allow for a constituent assembly to replace the countrys constitution, which had been written during a military government. However, these efforts incurred the ire of the countrys oligarchy, leading to his overthrow by the military in June 2009. https://theconversation.com/how-us-policy-in-honduras-set-the-stage-for-todays-migration-65935 A lot of that is subjective, not fact. The effects of globalization was going to happen one way or another and the strength of its coffee trade wasn't going to last given the ebb and flow of trade. Look at every part of the world and see what happened to traditional farming it the face of globalization... it doesn't last. The blame the US for the election of Zelaya is like blaming the world for the election of Trump. It's the will of the people and the outside world has little to do with it. Just because someone write something doesn't make it fact. The article is clearly overreaching to make its case. --- Sig under construction!

GreatEvilEmpire 11/26/18 4:08:56 PM #21	When they're talking about SUVs, they're also talking about compact crossovers like the CR-V and RAV4. They're shorter than sedans and over more space overall. People are buying less cars because they're more reliable than before and they don't break down often. Millennials also don't drive as much as Gen X. They're also getting smart about what cars they want to buy. People want hatches. Try fitting a big box into a sedan... almost impossible. Crossovers offers more headroom, and trunk space and they're a lot better for baby seats if the buyer is planning a family. And with the crazy MPG of the 2019 RAV4 hybrid, I don't see many good reason to buy a sedan these days. --- Sig under construction!

If both are emotionally weak, it's heading for divorce. It looks like both partners are emotionally weak, so the end is near. Most marriages are not easy, but it does seem to get better over time if they have long term goals and some of those goals become reality.

PG&Es negligence to identify the weakened trees led to bipartisan legislation in 2016, passed unanimously by both houses of the Legislature, to reduce the risks of wildfire from overhead utility lines by clearing out dead trees. The bill required the Public Utilities Commission to identify and map high-risk wildfire hotspots due to overhead utility lines, taking into consideration local governments concerns, so that utilities would have to step up their mitigation efforts in those areas. Unfortunately, Gov. Brown shockingly vetoed that fire prevention legislation, claiming that the state Public Utilities Commission and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection had a process in place. The furious spread of fires along trees in the path of power lines last week lays naked that claim." PG&E took a beating in the stock market for their possible role in the wildfire. Maybe it was started by a power line, but what if a falling tree took out a power line? What if the overgrown trees in California's forests touched the power line and created a spark that caused the fire? The bill that Jerry Brown vetoed in 2016 (Before Trump became president) was supposed to do just that, identify these types of problems and fix it. Since Brown is a corrupted politician and probably got quite a bit of money from PG&E over the years, he just turned a blind eye to it. --- Sig under construction!
