I liked Ronnie, but I didn't actually know him, of course.  I saw the crap Iraq
pulled on you in '79, & Carter's lameduck responses to it.

Even before November-1980's election, Everyone, including Iraq, knew they were
going to be dead meat if they didn't shit it down & return the hostage American
journalists, unharmed.

I can't recall as I was young(12) & not that focused(Autistic), did they return
the hostages prior to Reagan officially entering the White House?

Yup, they see the news from Canada.  Tghe whole point of it in the beginning,
here, was to allow everyone(or as manty as possible) to hunker down at home &
stop being potential spreaders, but Canada's socierty doesn't want people
losing their homes over it, so the $2K was intended to pro0vide at leastr some
income to cover rent/mortgage/etc.

But that lovfely net gor cut up & hung up on the porches. . . & it's now been a
couple years of "hammock time"

I can't wait to use that Reagan quote on Facebook, & see how quickly I lose
friends! *LOL* I don't want those kind of people in association with me or my
name.  Ditto for those who have a bigoted anti towards Obama(I thought he was
mainly useless, IN HIS JOB, & that has nothing to do with melanin levels)

I have no time or patience for bigotry in any form.

I'll discuss the issues relating to such from either side of things, because
it's all about facts vs facts vs assumptions vs opinions.

Or I play accuradio or Youtube in the background & learn things, like how some
people want to get their 10,000 steps a day in without actually walking, so
they put their Fitbit into a rolled-up double sock & run it in the dryer for a
while.

Of course, but not every emplyer of a ceretyain generation is open to learning
or understanding this. Our new person in charge of our new federal law that is
our version of your ADA has as his fgirsrt task, opening up employers to new
ideas to include disabled workers where they provide good value (Maybe you have
one applicant to a fulltime position who can only work 4-hour shifts, so why
not pair them up with someonbe else(even if disabled) to fill the 8-hour time
slot. & stop forcing everythig to be "full time, period."

I never apply for any job I can't do better than the rest of the applicants,
even  if I am limited in sopme ways by only having partial use of my limbs.

Yes, I can do better than most, even though I'm one-handed, & sitting down!
