When coming to a stop, always stop in second or third. This is enough to provide some engine braking without risking locking up the wheels. Shift into first once stopped.

Good for our Alaskan Senators. The Democrats are so sneaky. The new rules they propose would not have stopped the Orlando shooter and they know it. The Democrats use these shootings to push irrevelant legislation every time. They are so underhanded and deceitful. Obama's soft approach to Muslims is why this shooter slipped through the cracks.

Happily married man here. I waited a long time to do it. One of the reasons not mentioned here is the family court and legal system that incentivizes easy divorce and is wildly biased against husbands and fathers. Why would you want to get married if a woman can leave because she's not feeling fully satisfied that month, taking half your stuff, and potentially, getting monthly payments from you for life as well? The family court system makes the trust barrier even higher and harder to get over today, and incentivizes women to end the majority of marriages, often for fleeting reasons of life dissatisfaction, which are meant to be worked through together. Not to mention, the financial incentives to lower and lower-middle class women for having children out of wedlock are higher than ever. Our perverse welfare system pats mothers to have kids without fathers, or to leave a husband if they have one. These reasons need to be mentioned and addressed as well.	0	not toxic

In my opinion, the intent is the same as it was in the US, do discredit the political and electoral systems in a Western democracy. Russia and China both thoroughly enjoyed the fiasco of a twit like Trump winning and a far right lunatic in France to go with those in countries like Hungary and Poland are just the ticket to weaken Western Europe and the unifying, strengthening effect provided by the EU, flawed as it can be in some ways.

Incorrect. They can not use the banked sick days as vacation. Though it is true that many do call in sick when they are not, or at the end of their careers get a note from their doctor and go on "stress leave" to use up those days at full pay and adding time for pension calculation purposes.

Part 1) My healthcare was affordable and attainable under both Bush's, Clinton, and Obama, even during times of unemployment and under-employment.....and not one iota of that healthcare came through government means. Matter of fact, one of those periods of underemployment came when Obama first took office, and when our payroll checks came to us with a 5% FICA hit out of nowhere, HR told us it was mandates of the new administration and there was nothing they could do about it. To add insult, one of Obama's promises was a cap on pharmaceuticals; a big deal to our household since we deal with chronic auto-immune related diseases and those meds can easily swallow half a salary. Obama caved in to the pharmaceutical lobbyists and that promise simply disappeared. Who came to the rescue? The pharmaceutical company that made the drug we relied on; they accepted what pittance our insurance paid and wrote off the rest......	0	not toxic

The net effect is an advantage to the candidate you would NOT be voting for. For example, George Wallace in 1968 with 13.5% and Ross Perot in 1992 with 19% of the Presidential vote, pulled votes from the major candidate who was most "like" them and would have likely received the votes they received instead. Preferential balloting overcomes this issue and gives a significant boost to those long-shot, third party/independent candidates. I think it would help to address the stanglehold the two major parties now have on American politics. regards, Gary Crum	0	not toxic

Taxpayers did not make the promise for PERA to completely fail in their management of the funds. PERA is the one at fault.

I had breakfast and lunch with three people on staff with Republican congressmen yesterday (I am on the East Coast and one of them worked for me). And I read the summary of the bill they prepared for their congressmen. Which is what all of congress did before they voted. They told me that a small handful of conservatives drove a few small but major changes to the bill which mislead to some extent the House Republicans,, including Paul Ryan. Ryan just said the following about the bill: “We think we need to do even more support for people who are older and also more support for people with pre-existing conditions,” Ryan acknowledged. “The Senate will complete the job.” The changes made for fewer than 12 conservatives can blow up the bill in ways not anticipated when the Republicans passed it.	0	not toxic

US oil production in 2007 was only 5 million bpd. The US can theoretically double its oil & gas production again in the same way it did from 2008 to 2014 and it did this without any help from the US government. If Mr. Trump's energy policy is one of removing all obstacles to oil exploration and production then this will happen. A tax on imported oil will raise the price domestically providing additional incentive for US suppliers to produce more oil. Of course if the US does apply a BAT, Canada could institute a countervailing duty with imported oil (US and others) but that will never happen as it would affect Mr. Trudeau's Quebec and Maritime supporters.	0	not toxic
Well, MLB is not to be outdone. In addition to the old Take Me Out..." during the 7th inning stretch, they have added "God Bless America" as a response to 9/11 as well as the National Anthem at the start. More enforced patriotism! Sports want to wrap themselves in the flag. A little bit of militarism for the crowd when the jets fly over as well. Now Donny John has has turned it up to 11 as red meat for his followers by conflating patriotism with standing the national anthem. What DJT and many who post here miss is the fact that protesting racial inequality and police actions is about as American as you can get. When people who write "They can protest but not here" seem to be saying is - I don't want to think about it. Besides, you make a lot of money.

Gee, guy named "di-m0ndz", could you leave any more obvious a trail of bread crumbs telling what you are doing? Wow.

Happily married man here. I waited a long time to do it. One of the reasons not mentioned here is the family court and legal system that incentivizes easy divorce and is wildly biased against husbands and fathers. Why would you want to get married if a woman can leave because she's not feeling fully satisfied that month, taking half your stuff, and potentially, getting monthly payments from you for life as well? The family court system makes the trust barrier even higher and harder to get over today, and incentivizes women to end the majority of marriages, often for fleeting reasons of life dissatisfaction, which are meant to be worked through together. Not to mention, the financial incentives to lower and lower-middle class women for having children out of wedlock are higher than ever. Our perverse welfare system pats mothers to have kids without fathers, or to leave a husband if they have one. These reasons need to be mentioned and addressed as well.

In my opinion, the intent is the same as it was in the US, do discredit the political and electoral systems in a Western democracy. Russia and China both thoroughly enjoyed the fiasco of a twit like Trump winning and a far right lunatic in France to go with those in countries like Hungary and Poland are just the ticket to weaken Western Europe and the unifying, strengthening effect provided by the EU, flawed as it can be in some ways. Europe is far stronger united than balkanized.

Incorrect. They can not use the banked sick days as vacation. Though it is true that many do call in sick when they are not, or at the end of their careers get a note from their doctor and go on "stress leave" to use up those days at full pay and adding time for pension calculation purposes. But Canadians are ok with that, they keep voting for pro-public sector union parties.

Part 1) My healthcare was affordable and attainable under both Bush's, Clinton, and Obama, even during times of unemployment and under-employment.....and not one iota of that healthcare came through government means. Matter of fact, one of those periods of underemployment came when Obama first took office, and when our payroll checks came to us with a 5% FICA hit out of nowhere, HR told us it was mandates of the new administration and there was nothing they could do about it. To add insult, one of Obama's promises was a cap on pharmaceuticals; a big deal to our household since we deal with chronic auto-immune related diseases and those meds can easily swallow half a salary. Obama caved in to the pharmaceutical lobbyists and that promise simply disappeared. Who came to the rescue? The pharmaceutical company that made the drug we relied on; they accepted what pittance our insurance paid and wrote off the rest......

The net effect is an advantage to the candidate you would NOT be voting for. For example, George Wallace in 1968 with 13.5% and Ross Perot in 1992 with 19% of the Presidential vote, pulled votes from the major candidate who was most "like" them and would have likely received the votes they received instead. Preferential balloting overcomes this issue and gives a significant boost to those long-shot, third party/independent candidates. I think it would help to address the stanglehold the two major parties now have on American politics. regards, Gary Crum

I had breakfast and lunch with three people on staff with Republican congressmen yesterday (I am on the East Coast and one of them worked for me). And I read the summary of the bill they prepared for their congressmen. Which is what all of congress did before they voted. They told me that a small handful of conservatives drove a few small but major changes to the bill which mislead to some extent the House Republicans,, including Paul Ryan. Ryan just said the following about the bill: “We think we need to do even more support for people who are older and also more support for people with pre-existing conditions,” Ryan acknowledged. “The Senate will complete the job.” The changes made for fewer than 12 conservatives can blow up the bill in ways not anticipated when the Republicans passed it.

US oil production in 2007 was only 5 million bpd. The US can theoretically double its oil & gas production again in the same way it did from 2008 to 2014 and it did this without any help from the US government. If Mr. Trump's energy policy is one of removing all obstacles to oil exploration and production then this will happen. A tax on imported oil will raise the price domestically providing additional incentive for US suppliers to produce more oil. Of course if the US does apply a BAT, Canada could institute a countervailing duty with imported oil (US and others) but that will never happen as it would affect Mr. Trudeau's Quebec and Maritime supporters.
