Not to mention that under US law black powder guns are not legally considered firearms.

While that's technically a loophole, it's left in place to allow poor people in rural areas to supplement their food budget with hunting even if they have a felony conviction.

Parent here. It's always the parents. The biggest problems with young people are typically caused by lack of parental involvement and are next to impossible for schools or society at large to solve.

The catch is that any public figure or institution saying that out loud is more or less committing suicide. Just like I'm about to be roasted alive on here for saying it.

Shitty, inattentive parents do not want to hear that they need to do better. Parents who didn't plan ahead and just shove their kid in daycare don't want to hear that they should have moved to a cheaper metropolitan area so they could work less and spend more time raising their kids. Parents who went off half cocked and had kids in unstable relationships don't want to hear that they shouldn't have done that knowing they wouldn't be able to stay together in the long term.

Nobody is allowed to say that out loud, you have to read between the lines.

That's a bingo.

The idea that "they" don't want the American public driving EVs is ridiculous.

Sure. And - ya know - not funneling money into a totalitarian regime.

No, they don't want the profits getting funneled off to China.

All it takes to be a CEO is to be the person in charge of running a company. There are a lot of companies that are a lot of different sizes doing a lot of different things. If you start your own company you're the CEO, but you're also the head of sales and the person who makes coffee runs.

The stereotypical CEO (who makes boilerplate, sanitized public statements) is stereotypical in the first place because they run big companies, reporters care what they have to say. If you read the news you hear their words a lot.

Smaller firms, self started firms, and a lot of the more unique operations that would have CEOs that go against the stereotype don't make the news often, so the stereotype stays intact.

For real. If fingers were that easy to lob off nobody would make it to middle age with all of their digits.

And are these propaganda deals in the room with us now?
