Timely Words from a Republican
âWe lead the world because, unique among nations, we draw our peopleâour strengthâfrom every country and every corner of the world. And by doing so we continuously renew and enrich our nationâŠ. Thanks to each wave of new arrivals to this land of opportunity, we're a nation forever young, forever bursting with energy and new ideas, and always on the cutting edge, always leading the world to the next frontier. This quality is vital to our future as a nation. If we ever closed the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost.â â Ronald Reagan, 1989

Day trip: Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation.
I've never been, and I'm trying to do more stuff I've never done in my home state.
Weiner mobile, Rosa Parks Bus (no sign indicating which seat she sat in though, the attending employee will tell you if you ask), Lincoln assassination chair. The blood is really still there. It was so much blood.
McDonald's sign, Lamys Diner, a cool blue car, JFKs presidential limo, the Reagan Presidential limo got rid of the convertible top and opted for 2 person sunroof,
Fokker Arctic exploration plane, Wright Brothers first successful plane. A half clay half metal car I thought they only made for commercials. They have so much racing history it was cool.
Food from Ford's Garage (not associated with the museum or Ford, just smart capitalization), and I got to see the sunset at a lake.
The museum has two restaurants. Lamys Diner. A traditional train car diner (love) that I did not know was really serving food until I heard clinking plates. I wanted to dine there, but it was too late by the time I realized. Also I don't eat in restaurants, cause panny.
And my punishment for enjoying myself? nails in two tires. This is why I don't go anywhere.

Wright Brothers Day: Celebrating the Birth of Modern Aviation
Every year on December 17, the United States observes Wright Brothers Day to commemorate the first successful powered flight in history. On this day in 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright achieved what many believed to be impossible, changing the course of human history forever. Their groundbreaking flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, marks the beginning of modern aviation and serves as a testamentâŠ

đșđž As we approach Chrysler's 100th anniversary, Frank B. Rhodes Jr., great-grandson of company founder Walter P. Chrysler, is raising concerns about the brandâs future and wants to take action to rescue it. In a recent open letter to âinvestors and workers,â Rhodes announced his plan to revitalize Chrysler and its related brandsâDodge, Ram, and Jeepâunder new âAmericanâ ownership.
đ Stellantis, the current parent company of Chrysler, has come under criticism from Rhodes for its management of the brand, which he claims has been severely neglected. The Chrysler brand currently offers only one vehicle, the Pacifica minivan, while several promising concept cars, such as the Chrysler Airflow, were shelved before reaching production. Rhodes highlighted Stellantisâ focus on European brands like CitroĂ«n and Peugeot, arguing that Chrysler has been left behind.
đŒ Rhodes, who has been a Chrysler ambassador for over 40 years, points to his familyâs legacy and his own ownership of the final Chrysler 300C as reasons for his dedication to the brand. He submitted a 17-page proposal to Stellantis executives, inviting them to a confidential discussion on reviving Chrysler. His plan includes giving equity stakes to employees, echoing the worker-centered vision of his great-grandfather, who founded the company on principles of American ingenuity and innovation.
đ Rhodes also expresses concern about the future of Dodge, which has focused heavily on electric vehicles (EVs) despite its core customer base being more interested in American muscle and performance cars. He argues that Stellantisâ push toward an all-electric lineup by 2028 for Chrysler is out of step with market trends, where hybrids are gaining popularity. The all-electric path, Rhodes warns, could be disastrous for the brandâs future.
đ§ Despite these challenges, Rhodes remains optimistic about the potential to rebuild Chrysler as a symbol of blue-collar luxury and innovation. He is calling for a return to American-designed and built products, and greater autonomy for Chrysler and Dodge within Stellantis. Rhodesâ ultimate goal is to rescue the brand from what he sees as poor management and ensure that Chrysler survives to celebrate its next century.
đš As Chrysler fans prepare for the 100th anniversary celebrations next summer, including a large event in Pennsylvania, Rhodes is urging action to prevent the brand from fading into obscurity. Without intervention, he warns, Chryslerâs future looks bleak.

*Sweating throwing up nauseous dizzy*
What if vox is Asian American
#Hazbin hotel#vox#hcs#musings#idk I just think it would be cool#i feel like there arenât a lot of East Asian villains that are allowed to be sloppy boisterous and vulgar outside of media made by Asian#people#I know a lot of people draw his human form white as a sheet but i dunno#I also think that would explain why he initially clicks with Alastor so much#both of them are part of marginalized groups in their respective time periods#swamped by the expectation to be subservient to their white peers#but they both rise above it with their passion for the innovation of entertainment#to describe that dynamic itâs basically that Alastor is the burr to voxâs hamilton . except in this version burr wins on most levels#this also gives context to voxâs raging inferiority complex bc. if his parents were immigrants at the time compounded with the economic#and war time struggles then that probably made him feel pressured to succeed quick and hard#vox would definitely be disconnected from his culture and obsessed with pursuing the American dream#whereas Alastor i think would be v in tune with creole based language and culture as evidenced by his close relationship with his mother#near the end of Alastor and voxâs friendship Alastor would likely mock him for abandoning his roots in search of prominence#it would actually be quite sad

I may or may not be compiling a chronological list of nearly every locomotive ever directly because of starlight express
#Iâve got down 103 locos so far#this was born out of frustration of not being able to find a chronological list of electric trains#bc visually Electra looks most like the SNCF CC40100#like their helmet n shit#which makes sense because theyâre quad voltage and not ac or dc (like in the song) and also incooperated several different#innovations in electric locomotives#but it also doesnât make any sense. bc the cc 40100 was like from the 60s and Electra is the engine of the future and everything#so I wanted to look at what electic locos were made in the 80s for autism purposes#anyways. I did land on one- there are two prototypes made in the 80s based on the cc 40100#which is the SNCF BB 20011 and the SNCF BB 20012#which have the same visual design as the cc 40100 and when you look up pictures of em have lightning bolts on the side#and theyâre prototypes which I like to imagine Electra is#and theyâre only dual voltage not quad voltage but Electraâs like ac dc itâs okay by me so it still fits#admittedly they werenât really prototyping anything exciting and I wouldâve preferred an american engine as opposed to a french one but#beggars canïżœïżœt be choosers.#if you canât tell by now this entire post was an excuse to infodump about trains#so I am going to tag the stex fandom. to make my train autism everyone elseâs problem#idk if the tag will even register I once read that only the first seven tags actually make any effect on the tagging system but who caressss#stex#the story of the locomotive who raced against a horse and lost and the locomotive that was powered by a horse shall wait till another day.

Funny to quote what was in reality a very mediocre president, now mainly remembered for starting the dismantling of whatever little of a welfare state there was in America back then. He didn't even cause the collapse of the Soviet Union for which he is celebrated, a historical inevitability linked to the mortality of its leaders that just happened to happen shortly after his presidency. Just because the GOP has elevated him to their patron saint, when they could have had Lincoln. Or even Eisenhower.
But yes, he had good, non-Alzheimer speech writers...

An open letter to the U.S. Congress
Co-sponsor the American Stability Act to end income inequality!
624 so far! Help us get to 1,000 signers!
As your constituent, I am urging you to co-sponsor the American Stability Act (ASA). The American Stability Act is a bold, elegant solution to the threat posed by destabilizing levels of inequality.
The American Stability Act does the following:
-ELIMINATES FEDERAL TAXES for any taxpayer making less than the median cost of living for a single adult with no children (slightly above $40,000 a year);
-SHIFTS the responsibility for these revenues onto taxpayers making more than $1 million a year;
-REPLACES the âminimumâ wage with a new âStability Wage,â which is set to the median cost of living in the US for a single adult with no children, and then indexes it to make that principle permanent.
We need bold, innovative reform. Lawmakers like you must structure a more stable, prosperous economy that will deliver the results we need for a strong nation.
ⶠCreated on October 28 by Jess Craven · 623 signers in the past 7 days

đ On August 21, 1897, Ransom Olds founded Olds Motor Works after successfully building his first gas-powered vehicle.
âïž In its first year, Olds Motors produced just four vehicles. However, after securing an investment from businessman Samuel Smith, the company began mass-producing automobiles using Olds' innovative automotive assembly line. By 1903, Oldsmobile had become the largest automaker in the U.S., though Ransom Olds departed in 1904 due to disputes over the companyâs direction. A few years later, Oldsmobile was acquired by General Motors.
đ During its nearly century-long run with GM, Oldsmobile pioneered innovations like the automatic transmission and introduced iconic models such as the Cutlass, Toronado, and 88.
