> Then when the ticket winners were selected, he filtered by zip code so he had an almost entirely white audience
How did that work in the 80s? Did he spend days and weeks poring through (paper) census data and correlating it with ZIP codes? Did he use VisiCalc on an Apple ][ or Lotus 1-2-3 on an IBM PC?
Whatever his other misdeeds, I never got a racist vibe off MJ.

I do wonder why the occupation authorities did the exact opposite for Germany, emphasizing war crimes, collective guilt, etc, since (West) Germany was also a bulwark against the Soviet bloc?

They can restart them and/or build new ones. Fission isn't some lost technology like Greek fire or Damascus steel.

It's because we do these things not for American interests, but for the interests of a small country that has captured our political establishment through campaign finance and blackmail.

It's always funny to me how every few years some Republican representative/senator gets the bright idea of running on "cutting foreign aid", then someone quietly points out most foreign aid goes to either Israel or Israel's neighbors so they play nice with Israel. Then the proposal is quietly dropped.

I'd read somewhere that it was mainly because Henry Ford was dogmatic that the Model T was perfect, all the car anyone would ever need forever.

It will stand. Walz, Frey, & Co. have zero intention of protecting their citizens from ICE predation. The local police sit on their hands.
But I'm sure this strongly worded editorial will get Trump to reconsider.

But we do eugenics all the time with non-human animals and plants. We just call it "plant breeding" or "selective breeding". It has massively improved yields and desirable characteristics in animals and plants.
