Re: 2020 Election
Back in the 50s and 60s most every major and some minor British companies had apprenticeship programs. The degree of difficulty of getting accepted depended on the prestige of the company. There was a lot of competition for companies Like Jaguar and Roll-Royce.
Some American Companies had apprenticeship programs I know Caterpillar Tractor did. In the US my son did with a large HVAC company. Not a trade I'd recommend. Little or no health insurance for the most part, slow or rainy days no pay, no vacation. Like all construction jobs, takes it's toll physically over time. The days of union jobs are long gone.

Re: 2020 Election
In fairness, it all started in the UK with the EU referendum (June 2016); Trump's election followed; and now it's back to the UK. It's pointless to draw too many conclusions/parallels, but on the other hand, there are some potential similarities. One takeaway for me is, the parties need to stop bleating about 'unfair media' and start finding ways to take advantage of the media. Back during Obama's candidacy, the Dem's were hailed as the masters of the 'new media' - they found ways to target voters far more effectively than the Republicans. Somewhere along the way, the Republicans became the masters of it. Looking to regulation won't cut it - the technology is moving too fast for legislation to cut it. The democrats need to take the initiative again.
I do think it's worth noting, though, that Labour offered a massive amount of 'free stuff', and that wasn't enough.

Begs the question what Time was doing putting a child with medical issues on their cover.

Re: 2020 Election
This wasnāt the first time Trump attacked her nor, I suspect, will it be the last. So the cover is essentially moot. Additionally why should it be a problem anyway? Are people with medical issues to be barred from such things regardless of their achievements and impact?

I stand to be corrected if they did, currently it comes across as child abuse.

Yeah because giving people honors is abuse. Do you realize how crazy you sound?

235,000 people losing their right to vote and forced to re-register simply because of a potential address change that might not actually be true. Some of those people may not have responded to a request of verification of address because the request may not have made it to their home. Maybe it went to the wrong place or it's possible it was never sent or the resident thought it was junk mail..

Fair Fight 2020. Stacey Abrams established this organisation, and they are involved in Wisconsin as well as other states. If you are going to give money in the 2020 election, this is a very deserving and effective organization to support.

I am guessing there are a few parents in here with Autistic kids, knowledgeable enough to have an opinion of worth. They are all too but busy right now wondering why your troll game has slipped so much.

From what her parents have said she has multiple issues, why focus on one?

Wait for it ... now comes the part where he says he's not a Trump supporter and he's completely neutral and unbiased. It's so cute when he does that.
