They say Love is blind, but clearly everyone in love can see.
How is that possible?


It means that those in love missed/ignore red flags that serves as warnings until too late and 2/ being love overlooked faults and weaknesses in the other person.

Not confused about anything. Well aware that U S Steel is not a government corporation. US Steel is not just one of many different steel manufacturers. It is an American powerbase that is essential to the success and prosperity of the US industrial base. It creates valuable jobs across US. It is family silver. Now u spoke on Dems bringing back manufacturing jobs but why so quick to defend a foreign company buying US Steel :thinking: and yet if the sale is approved there is no guarantee of no reduced jobs and downscaling. Even democratic Fetterman had his say against the sale (and it will go thru) citing national security and all that....

Now if u know anything about local companies sold to foreign entities you know that said foreign company promises to retain jobs, few years down the line, production shifts to foreign country to reduce production costs, facilities are shutdown, good jobs lost, local customers and workers lose out. It happens all the time around the world. As for the protroleum market as stated before America does not need to depend on middle east oil it can be energy independent but your energy independent is 100% renewables while others may see abit of both renewable energy and fossils fuels. Now you spoke on reduce battery costs . The facts is wind and solar farms for instance needs a large amount of land to operate just to produce a little bit of energy. Renewables are not always a viable commercial option in every case.

US Steel isn't even the biggest US steel company. That would be Nucor, and there are dozens of other steel companies in the US. Even if a Japanese firm comes and buys US Steel, it won't be able to take the mines overseas. Possibly the mills, but given the bulk and weight of steel, that doesn't make sense, either. Downsizing can happen even if the company stays US-owned, so it's not really clear that you're not confused on this. Companies are bought and sold in the US every day.

As far as wind and solar go, it's not like the land can't be used for other things at the same time. Farmers grow crops under and between solar panels and wind turbine towers. In the US we install solar panels on rooftops, too.

Try doing that with a coal or gas power plant.

Lastly, it's OK if other countries make jokes about Biden. They laughed at Trump, too. At least biden is getting the job done, and not breaking laws while at it.





I stand by what I said in previous posts.

Downsizing a US company whether US owned or being bought by a foreign company is still downsizing.

Renewable energy is not also a viable commercial option in all cases. The efficiency of a wind energy system depends on the location.

You seem to be confused on your last statement. So let me correct it for you.

It's Ok if other countries makes jokes about Biden. They laughed at Trump too. At least Trump was getting the job done and was respected around the world.

If Trump broke international laws, there are international agencies for that. If Trump broke domestic laws there are domestic agencies for that.

Bush jr had a size 10 shoe thrown at him. He was made fun at. The difference is that Bush jr and Trump was respected around the world and America was respected around the world.


The world is watching a new movie called ' America'

America under Biden is a laughingstock to the world and Biden is tolerated.

If the US is focusing more on renewable energy than the coal and natural gas industries is it any wonder then that they would be more folks employed in the renewable sector? I am not against renewable energy but America cannot sustain itself entirely on renewables. That is the gist of what Trump was getting at. Steel, oil and gas is the backbone of the American economy. Renewable energy is not always a viable commercial option plus higher upfront costs than traditional fossil fuels industries. We are talking balance here. Now u had a case where under 44th US was importing inferior steel from China when the US manufactures high quality steel, the same steel that help the US in ww2. Trump had to step in and secure the industry and the steel workers jobs. Now US Steel is being sold to Japan for billions of dollars (a sign that when a country is selling its family silver the country is in serious economic trouble and in serious debt) under 46th and the poor workers are afraid of their jobs when they had the promise from 46th than America came first. I suppose if there is any consolation US Steel will be sold to an American ally instead of its competitors.

You seem to be confused about US Steel. Just because "US" is in the name, that doesn't mean it's a state-sponsored company. US Steel is just one of many different steel manufacturers. A Japanese steel company buying them (if it's approved) doesn't necessarily mean any of the mills will close or anybody will lose jobs. This is not the family silver. It's a steel company with a portfolio of mines and mills, and another steel company with a lot of money wants in.

Oil and Steel are not the backbone of the US economy. 70% of the US economy is in services, like finance and consulting. Mining and manufacturing is less than 10%. If/when another country sells oil and steel for less, that's what gets bought, even here in America, because our industries are not federalized.

Renewable energy can absolutely replace fossil fuel powerplants. In several parts of the world, they've replaced whole natural gas powerplants with just battery arrays. Install enough batteries with enough solar and wind power generation and you have powerplants that are more reliable, less polluting and possibly even cheaper than most other powerplants. And battery costs are trending downward. Also, reducing reliance on fossil fuels pays dividends by reducing disease from pollution and by weakening the petroleum market which is relied upon by Russia & their Middle East allies.

Somewhere where you both feel comfortable and have a shared interest. Can range from an outdoor activity to going to a concert. Some folks believed in friendship first, others.....meet and greet and see if there is a connection but both parties will have their guard up. On the other hand some folks do show their true colours from the outset on the first meeting.

To answer your question yes....if u are looking for prospects on here I believe you will have better options elsewhere or just go the traditional route....offline. Not having strong feelings from someone either mean you haven't meet your better half or you are experiencing trauma or depression or just an emotionaless person.

I do ignore.....just wanted to know if there was an option available for that page and yes the site is not doing enough against scammers, fakes and frauds which in the end will give it a bad reputation.
