Lol. Pickleball stuff is getting more expensive than tennis equipment. It's actually a good time to get into a real sport.
You can buy new tennis balls for like $1 each, while pickleballs are more. Think about that: tennis balls are rubber and fuzz, hard to make. Pickleballs are just plastic. Same with the racquets. Pickleball stuff is just plastic and maybe a rubber grip. Tennis racquets can be all kinds of expensive carbon fiber.
JFK is not considered one of the best. He didn't even have a full term, so there's no way to know. People liked him because he was young and handsome and died that way.
He started the Vietnam War. His only real test was the Cuban Missile Crisis. He did adopt Keynesianism economic policies (over more classical policies) and proposed the bill that became the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Those are all important, but he honestly wasn't in office long enough to do much.
And besides, like you said he was 43, not 35. AOC would not be able to do anything because she doesn't have the relationships yet. Good presidents don't come from the House of Representatives. They come from the Senate (JFK, Obama), Governors (FDR), or Vice Presidents (Harris).
Their interpretation isn't "originalist" or "strict" at all. It's just what they want to say, at any given moment. History would be very different if both of your parents had to be US citizens. The president of the US is required to be a "natural born citizen"
Of the 45[a] individuals who became president, there have been eight that had at least one parent who was not born on U.S. soil.

For one, Donald Trump might not be president because his mother was born in Scotland.

For those (uninformed) Trump supporters who claim she was a citizen when little Donny was born, that's true but her immigration process was much easier than it is today. This is it, in its entirety:
On May 2, MacLeod left Glasgow on board the RMS Transylvania arriving in New York City on May 11 (one day after her 18th birthday). She declared she intended to become a U.S. citizen and would be staying permanently in America.
Though the 1940 census form filed by Mary Anne and her husband, Fred Trump, stated that she was a naturalized citizen, she did not actually become one until March 10, 1942.[1][6][7] However, there is no evidence that she violated any immigration laws prior to her naturalization, as she frequently traveled internationally and was afterwards able to re-enter the U.S.
[She] became a naturalized citizen in March 1942
Good. You probably don't want a hatchet to be that sharp. You're not going to be doing anything delicate with it. Sharp blades have the edge bend or break easily.
Uh, Android is the alternative to Apple's iOS. Android is much more customizable.
That’s how close we came to living in a good timeline.
That's not how politics works. That's not even how time works.
If you want change, you have to do something. That's how we got the minimum wage, etc. Not by being in a "good timeline".
It's better to be lucky than good at something. But there's a major difference between starting out middle class (or working class) and starting out wealthy.
The people who started and developed entire companies clearly had some skill. Massive intelligence isn't necessary, but they were not stupid. If they were stupid they would have already blown all the money. Compare what happens to lottery winners and you will see what I mean.
The difference is, future generations that inherit are more like lottery winners: they have no idea how to grow the money left to them. Plus they have no concept of staying under budget because they have always been rich. This is worse than a lottery winner because they already have an expensive lifestyle to maintain.
"We're going to stop making new products. We've decided that we don't need more money."
Does that sound like a pharma company to you?
Why are you talking about Angolan political parties? You're not in the graduate seminar now. You have to actually explain the connections. "Largest unaligned economy". That's code for "no one else wants to trade with these guys".
Americans are as nakedly hostile to an independent Cuba as the CCP is to an independent Taiwan.
No one in America outside of Cubans cares about Cuba policy, and they don't want normalization. There's no animosity outside of Miami.
If they said "these fortunes are real and will come true" they would be liable for fraud.
Microsoft's argument that they are not liable must include the idea that their Copilot AI is not expected to deliver true statements in its summaries. That's clearly not what the purpose of the summary is.
Um, 2 gallons for $16? That was probably fake or blended olive oil. That's $2 a quart. No one is selling you the good stuff for that price.
