    They're part of the problem.
    We have to weed out the poor performers and replace them with better quality instructors.
    Yes.
    Train them, hire them, pay them.
    Absolutely, unless you want lousy teachers instructing students.
    That would help. Americans often feel as though they're entitled.
    We need to fix our schools with a lot of violence.
    Some kids need more structure than others.
    Fixing schools requires a lot of things, including better teachers.

    He could have used the DoJ, SEC, etc. to crack down on the crooked lending.

    I suppose we've all worked with someone we disliked. Doing the opposite regardless is called, "Cutting off the nose to spite the face". That's where their TDS kicks in.

    The Orange Oaf obstructed justice. I always thought he wasn't colluding with the Russians.
    Please, spare us the "open borders" BS. No one is proposing we have borders with Mexico and Canada like those between France and Germany.
    Take abortion. It's none of your business unless it's your fetus. That you or someone else may disagree is understandable, but you imposing a law against a woman exercising her right is intolerable.

    Renewable energy? What you're really talking about is climate change brought about by burning fossil fuels. Where's your evidence?

    LGBTQ rights? Why do you care what they do? No one says you have to be their pals or have them attend your church.

    Free healthcare? Lemme guess--you have yours. Why not have able-bodied not too young or too old contribute something?

    Other countries are pursuing their interests. They're tolerant of the rude, crude Orange Oaf, but they aren't inclined to be bullied into doing something not to their liking.

    They cannot use the Cellular network without Qualcom, or they become pirates.
    They have nothing to replace android with, so any phone is just dead weight without it.
    So, no, they need US based companies software and licenses to have any kind of 21 century cellular phone.
    The same apply for other field. The US can do without them, they cannot do without the US.
    The fact that Obama was stupid enough not to realize it, or even worse to ignore it, does not mean Trump is going to.

    They have their own chips. That's what the US is worried about.
    Android is open source. They will miss the Google apps, but there market is 10% of total so probably plenty of people will clone Google apps.

    They don’t have their own chips.
    All modern advanced semiconductors are designed in the US. You can’t just install android or some other application on a non-US processors - foreign hardware would not know what to do with the code. You need to completely rewrite the kernel to do that.

    At IFA today, Huawei announced its newest system-on-a-chip, the Kirin 980, which boasts a number of world firsts. It’s the first 7nm mobile processor, the first one built around ARM’s Cortex-A76 CPU and Mali-G76 GPU, the first with a Cat.21 smartphone modem supporting speeds up to 1.4Gbps, and the first chip to support 2,133MHz LPDDR4X RAM. The Kirin 980 has 6.9 billion transistors, but I’ve seen it for myself and it’s no larger than a thumbnail.

    It wasnt crooked. It was legal, and a large push for making it legal was the perspective of Democrats that packaging and wholesaling mortgages mitigated risk incentivizing everybody to own a home.

    Android is a flavor of Linux

    https://www.howtogeek.com/189036/android-is-based-on-linux-but-what-does-that-mean/

    "Android uses the Linux kernel under the hood. Because Linux is open-source, Google’s Android developers could modify the Linux kernel to fit their needs. Linux gives the Android developers a pre-built, already maintained operating system kernel to start with so they don’t have to write their own kernel. This is the way many different devices are built — for example, the PlayStation 4 uses the open-source FreeBSD kernel, while the Xbox One uses the Windows NT kernel found in modern versions of Windows."

    No, a lot of it was fraudulent. More than half of home price estimators said they were pressured by lenders to jack up estimated values. They were packaging up low trenches of mortgages and selling of the paper as AAA.
    Revisionist BS.

    So it is not their chip.
    This is ARM technology. Without ARM there is no chip. No phone.

    You pretend there wasn't fraud underpinning the real estate bubble--fraud that should have addressed by the DoJ, SEC, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, etc.

    How many in government positions, lobbied by bankers, do you think accepted gifts to remove regulations under president Clinton that lead to the mortgage crisis?

    Consider the problem...

    Housing prices weren't all that high when Bush Junior took office.
    [​IMG]

    I was at that point we needed to stop the fraudulent lending driven by the opportunity to flog the loans to suckers.

    [​IMG]

    It wasn't only subprime loans that were a problem. The subprime lending helped send asset values through the roof and thus created questions around mortgages, period. There was little reason from the homeowner's viewpoint in continuing to make payments on a $600,000 mortgage on a homes they'd have difficulty selling for $400,000. Many people lost home because they lost their jobs or had their hours cut, putting even more homes on the market.

    Subprime mortgages drove up home prices (see above).

    Free market? Whose market was more free over the last 20 years, the US or China.

    No, what I see on the left is a bunch of orange man bad to such a degree that they have abandoned the position that the dems always had. We dems always wanted to protect American jobs and the republicans always just wanted to make a buck whether here or there never mattered. Trump is doing a lot of things wrong and as a person is a boor and just not a decent human being. But Tariffs and trying to put a stop to cheap labor streaming across the border are two things he is right on, limiting immigration and the cheap labor that it brings is another historic democratic party ideal.

    I find it shameful that some of our new democrats have abandoned the values that made me a democrat for my whole life.

    The dems did? I recall that was Bush and that was not going to be a "small temp adjustment". We need a return to Glass-Seagal and the divestment and dismemberment of the 5 big Banks to be at least 15.

    That wall of nonsense has nothing to do with my post. Try again. With facts this time.
