thecheapgeek Link ParentAre you intentionally trying to be misleading or is this your honest take away from that article?The speaker gave no indication he would move quickly to bring forward the proposals from Greene, R-Ga., and Stefanik, R-N.Y., who is the fourth-ranking GOP leader, for House votes. Pressed if the proposals were a priority, he shifted to listing other GOP goals.
Are you intentionally trying to be misleading or is this your honest take away from that article?

thecheapgeek LinkCurious, I saw the title of this post changed. It originally indicated as a matter of fact that Trump's impeachments would be expunged. Did the OP or mod change the title?Curious, I saw the title of this post changed.

Lots of places mascaraded as churches to be from from scrutinity and persecution.
How would you react if a rule you instated was being ignored?
Would you revoke the partial legalization ? Would you give the people what they want?

If this isn't already a feature I'd like for it to be considered. I'd hate to be trolled with comment editing meant to make someone look foolish.
Edit, weird I saw my edit on one comment I edited and not on the other.

But we plan to make our chicken, turkey and pork in it too so paying that much for perfect meat and veggies isn't much at all.
I would definitely recommend it for someone who is busy, lazy or just wants consistently good food.

It's very plain in wording and honestly, it feels a little more limited in the scope of what even the original expectations were.
There's an interview from May where they sit down and talk about the game coming to Xbox One, towards the end of the interview they ask about the future of No Man's Sky. Sean is very hesitant about mentioning future updates, even a roadmap because he knows they missed the mark and let the hype train get away from them last time.
Youtube link here: https://youtu.be/Ai1_3TVpFfg?t=477
Unless he's some sort of masochist and likes having bomb / death threats sent to his place of work and harassment on social media.
It takes a lot of courage to even be the one that talks about NMS: NEXT during these interviews before the update is released, I respect him for that and I will be buying the game and giving it another shot.

But I agree, leading by example seems to be his M.O. with disaster relieve, going to Mars and making Solar Power / Electric vehicles mainstream technologies.

Why can't two parties benefit from this type of exchange.
Thinking of Puerto Rico and Australia.
In both instances he made a positive and meaningful impact in exchange for some good headlines.If someone has the resources to help but doesn't, should we hold them equally responsible for doing nothing or honor the fact they did not use the opportunity to push their own agenda?

I feel this article perfectly summarizes my thoughts on the topic.
Do you think Elon Musk grabbing headlines and stepping in to situations without being asked is driven by self importance or does it come from a genuine place?
What are you general thoughts on people who are critical of those who try and fail?
