Maybe the out of touch Canadian Shatner can pretend to be an All-American, Iowa farm-boy, Captain again and send him packing one last time.
LOL, I wanted my son to attend “Harvey Mudd” - part of the Claremont Colleges in California - Mudd was a very wealthy mining engineer and “Harvey Mudd” college specializes in science and engineering.
Turns out the college is very prestigious - but is also very very expensive.
Son attended U of California (for engineering), which was much cheaper at that time. I plan to ask him about “Harry Mudd” when I see him - he’s also a total Star Trek (and Star Wars) nerd.
On a long enough time line, everyone and everything is related.
We may well be stumbling into WW III—Many in power want that to happen. Many Americans have forgotten what world wars are like. We have had wars that were a defeat (Vietnam) a Draw (Korea) and a Victory (Iraq). Lots of little hot spot wars and raids from Serbia to Syria—But none have hit us hard—only 9-11 had a major impact.—in a big war a 9-11 would be a weekly event. The ultimate horror is glossed over in old movies and retelling of the Great Victory in WW II. We must keep us out of a major war at all costs. Our enemies are getting ready—they have formed a powerful block in the New Axis—Russia-China-Iran-North Korea. We are not ready for a war and would be hard pressed to wage one. A defeat would end America as we know her—even a victory would see abrupt change. The only winners would be the nations that are neutral.
“Clueless author.”
Yep, computers and cell phones killed the Malls.
Malls used to be where the kids met.
Urban sprawl, suburbia, the loss of a small-town sense of community, etc., are his ‘thing’:

What do you mean, clueless? He’s absolutely right. Malls were built to give people a place to drive to and most of the families had bunches of kids. The first mall I went to was in 1969, I was 12 years old. Baby boom. Several malls in my area have closed as the anchor stores went out of business and surrounding communities have deteriorated. Still was a phenomenon of baby boom families and happy motoring.
Partied with Shatner at Mara Lago literally a day or two after Spock died.
He had to be “managed” off the stage.
I want Shatner to go out & do his own shopping.
PEOPLE with money don’t care if prices are higher.
THEY NEVER KNEW what the prices were BEFORE, either.
"I don't know why the Democrats lost. I don't understand ... Prices have come down [sic], the economy is good [sic]. I don't know why they voted against her, against the party." — William Shatner (note, "the party" -- there's only one party to entertainment industry twits and other leftists.)
Since democrats were able to shut people up - to control the death of conversations... they were clueless about what hit them.
"To call ourselves “consumers” degrades us. We are citizens who have duties, responsibilities, and obligations to each other. We are economic actors who can make choices and take risks, not passive units to be exploited. "
