Of course it's 'Christmas day' for us in the UK, at least while we have our voter IDs and polling cards to hand !
Have an excellent day, everywhere in the world, and for whatever reasons apply !

 

[Droning on and on...]

Thanks OMM!

I'm eager to see what I can capture with the 3x on my Air 3 for fireworks over the Monterey Bay tonight...

Based on what I have read

Yes, it seems like the Labor Party may be celebrating an Independence Day of its own if, based on the predictions, the Tory Party is ousted after 14 years.

I'm thinking maybe this doesn't quite cross the spirit of the no politics line, if it does, no hard feelings if it gets deleted mods...

Interesting right now watching the turmoil with the Tories in the UK and here with the Dems in the US... for polisci types, it's a fascinating kind of parallel upheaval taking place on opposite sides of the political divide.

Yes in many places in the world it seems like hard conservatives are coming into power or extending their power. Except it seems in the UK.

I am just hoping against hope that we do not follow the US into their anti-DJI madness with whatever government we let in next...

To be honest, I wonder what China would do if the roles were reversed. If a U.S. company sold drones used all over China and Chinese companies really could not compete with them.

The U.S. lost much of its manufacturing starting decades ago and I don’t know how we get it back. Cheaper labor elsewhere less makes it hard. I think even China is finding this out but because of geopolitical issues. Some of its manufacturing base is moving elsewhere: India, Vietnam even.
