"And another thing". Having been raised in a certain sort of family, I was told... again and again... that "Idle Hands Are the Devil's Plaything."

Why is that relevant. Because of what you wrote.

"... we are going to work together to build a free country."

Work. Together.

America is like any good dog. Dog needs a job. Dog is happy when Dog has a job. We are descended from risk-takers. Pioneers. Canada shares a lot of that with us as well.

We need a new challenge. Ideally several. And ideally ones presented in a positive manner... not another Doomsday we need to figure out how to narrowly avoid.

This is why I had a big smile and a good laff when Trump revealed.... Space Force!!!!

Instead of "Go X or Go Y, young man", now it's "Go Z young man."

Yes, conquering space would be such a good thing for humanity, exactly why the elites fight hard to shut down advancement in any direction other than means of societal control. :/

The only frontier left on earth is the deep sea, and it provides just as much technical complication as space. We need to expand our horizons in both directions. There's an extra two thirds of the planet available to us if we figured it out. More potential for food growth and mining than all the surface of the planet combined.

But no, 'global warming will kill us and we're overpopulated, quick find a way to kill off half the population!'

^ Space. v Deep Sea.

"Go Z, young man!" :)

The oceans are far more hospitable to humanity than a rock with no atmosphere slowly circling a dim star (e.g. Mars). But I think we need to do both. The Moon First (in terms of the ^ direction).
