I don't really look at a candidate's ideas about war because if war happens nothing I say or do will matter a damn. You should really try to get that. NOTHING you have to say on the subject will sway them one way or the other either. NOTHING you do will change ANYTHING that happens one iota.
N.O.T.H.I.N.G.

I would have ended up working at Burger King as a manager, same as my father until he retired, but I cannot stand on that leg all day. I tried it at Burger King and had to give up. Then I went to the University of Texas at Austin so I can get a job where I sit to work. Much better paying.
I have always been glad that hubbs left the service before he would've been sent overseas. We have such bizarre luck, I think something like that would have taken him out. He tried to go for a degree in Criminal Justice and hated it and there was some weird snafu with paperwork so he ended up going for a tech degree. I think he would have washed out of police work after a while, he's just high stress as IS.. He wanted to drive trains, but you don't make enough to support a family on that here, and with the "sitting down narcolepsy" ( can no longer drive for more than an hour at a time without passing out) he has we are ALL much better off that he didn't...
I wanted to be a surgical tech, but realize now that with the arthritis I never could have stood in place for that long either. That, and the focusing that hard for hours on end. I could have in high school, but these days I drift too much... I'm really glad that I didn't go for college and change careers three times like the rest of my family... that are in debt up to their eyeballs and will be until the day they die...
Nice how you really have no control how your life ends up where it does, isn't it?

College in America for a majority of the kids who go there is just a way to enslave them to the system for the rest of their lives.
Funny how college debt is one of the few debts that don't get erased in a bankruptcy, innit?

Do you not know what 'planning ahead' means?
I've got nothing to say except

Quote:It was too hard.
He tried to go for a degree in Criminal Justice and hated it
Quote:He got disorganized and confused.
and there was some weird snafu with paperwork
Quote:He spent money on something he didn't pursue.
so he ended up going for a tech degree.
Quote:They would have kicked him out.
I think he would have washed out of police work after a while
Quote:They might not have accepted him.

Quote:I never even tried because I was too much of a slacker and probably would have failed..
I wanted to be a surgical tech
Quote:Because I have no discipline.
That, and the focusing that hard for hours on end. I could have in high school, but these days I drift too much...

I'm really glad that I didn't go for college
Quote:I have no career at all. Or even a job.
and change careers three times like the rest of my family...
Quote:As are we, but at least I don't have a job to go with the debt.
that are in debt up to their eyeballs and will be until the day they die...
Quote:Yes, that's how I explain to myself how I ended up here.

I've read that roughly a third of college students are food and housing insecure.
When I went to college, local landlords charged EXORBITANT rents because they knew they had a captive market. Which is why there was that truism of college students living in living rooms, porches, and unfinished attics and basements. Do they not do that anymore? There's also that portrayal of starving students eating Raman endlessly. In my day, a crap ton of powdered milk with a little bit of sugar mixed into whole milk was a (fairly) nutritious cheap meal for the whole day. Do students not know how to feed themselves for cheap anymore?
I'd very much like to look into the nit-picky specific details of student poverty today, and student debt today. I wonder how much is due to assumptions being made about luxuries being treated as necessities. Because people I've seen who go to college seem to expect a lifestyle that includes single-bedroom apartments, nice cars, I-phones, and a good supply of new clothes.

OMFG KIKI, I laughed so hard it set off a coughing spell (from that bad virus or infection that I had) and my family thought I was choking. I don't know how you do it, but that was another hilarious post!

Anyway, back to Iran.
I speculate that a reason why Bolt-on and Pompous are in the administration is because Trump figured they would eagerly back his Iran plans. Which makes Trump backing-down even more unusual. Someone must have made him see the light.
