People brought up to hate gay and who are in fact gay fight their feelings every day and think everybody else has the same internal fight so they think being tough is the only way to remove the seduction.

Some of them move to marketing and become sexual predators

There are in fact flying cars for sale. They're not as good as you hope and cost at least 10 times what a normal car costs. Of course you also need a pilot license. So basically

Should've made the producers responsible for collecting and processing all plastics they produce. It that makes certain products economically non viable, than that's on them to innovate better processes.

And sending a space ship at a good fraction of light speed to a nearby star uses more energy than our total civilization uses at the moment. We've got some work to do climbing up the Kardashev scale before we're anywhere close to that kind of travel.

It makes him feel like the big boss, without any rules or opposition.

It's an attempt to get a handle on things and trying to avoid situations such as:

"Oh, I was struck on that point for the last 3 months. I reinvented the wheel 2 times and now it works."

"And now we're 3 months behind schedule. Why didn't you ask anybody?"

"Yeah, I didn't want to bother anyone. But I did put in on the timesheets."

It can take so long to get out of that rut, and that's of you don't get hit by another calamity.

Sometimes I think any policy maker should play a game of old school Sim City 2000 and we can all see how they do before we vote for them.

So because normal urges are repressed, people feel guilty, angry and start doing more if it.

Reminds me of how some of the most rabid anti-gay activists are caught pants down with another boy.

Yep. It's giving some flashbacks to 2008 financial crisis. It'll take some time, maybe years, before everything recovers. And that's if Trump isn't doing his best to make it worse.

Of course there is logic, but not the logic most politicians want to admit. This is simply:

"Nice global economy. It would be a shame if something happened to it. Maybe we can come to an understanding, and this whole tariff thing goes away. You do want free trade, don't you?"
