The largest amount of jet fuel used in the shortest amount of time is during takeoff.
We could save BILLIONS of gallons of jet fuel if we used an electric "rail-gun" to launch planes similar to the way military fighter jets are launched off the extremely short runway of aircraft carriers. #GreenTech #ThinkOutsideTheBox

Her experience highlights the need for #Congress to #Standardize EV batteries for ALL passenger vehicles so we can have #EV #Battery Swap kiosks installed at every gas station in the country. #ThinkOutsideTheBox
I found these decorative abominations on clearance this weekend for $3.99 each. Cloches can be pricey so I hope to tear these apart and use them to host my felted creatures. Will have to handle gingerly so as not break the glass. I like that they have lighting and are rechargeable. If successful, these will make lovely displays. #ThinkOutsideTheBox #maker #repurpose
DHS foiled a terrorist plot targeting #ElectionDay.
Note his plan to purchase "500 rounds of ammunition". I've LONG advocated for a #GunpowderTax raising the cost to around $100/bullet (not unreasonable to if it's to protect your family.)
"500 rounds" would have cost him $50,000... which unlikely would not have been able to afford, and would have raised red flags if he had. #TaxGunpowder #TaxCordite #ThinkOutsideTheBox

Actually, now that it is possible to "3D print" a #gun, even if you banned ALL #guns, it wouldn't help.
There's a better solution: #ThinkOutsideTheBox #TaxGunpowder #TaxCordite #AssassinationAttempt
#ABCNews reporting that the #I75 #Kentucky Highway shooter, "bought 1,000 rounds of ammunition the day before" (as well as an #AR15 style weapon.)
Under my plan, that much ammunition would have cost him $100,000. #ThinkOutsideTheBox #TaxGunpowder #TaxCordite

One incredible irony is that… while #Republicans accuse #Democrats of having "an #OpenBorder" policy… NOTHING would do MORE to curb illegal #immigration & reduce the number of #immigrants moving here "permanently" than an "Open" border.
If the U.S. issued "work visas" (sponsored by their employer) and placed dozens of #Checkpoints along the border (checking for contraband), migrants could remain in #Mexico and commute across the border daily, saving Billions. #ThinkOutsideTheBox

Wouldn't it be nice if all these billionaire #CEO's invested their fortunes in something that might actually help themselves AND help others WHILE making a fortune? #ThinkOutsideTheBox

Actually, we don't need to "ban" private jets to mitigate the damage they do.
There are ways for them to use less fuel and minimize/eliminate exhaust.
Embed a "slingshot" in runways (like on aircraft carriers) to launch planes using less fuel. Once in flight, use #Hybrid engines for less exhaust and better mileage. #ThinkOutsideTheBox

#Congress needs to set official standards for battery shape, size and means of connection, so that batteries are interchangeable between car brands.#ThinkOutsideTheBox
@davidzipper
I have an idea on how to "fix" the #Autobahn in #Germany:
1) "Left lane only" for high speed vehicles.
2) People who wish to drive fast will need an "#EZTag" they can only get after safety training. Speed w/o one and get a fine in the mail. #ThinkOutsideTheBox

"Expand" the Court, but maybe not in the way most people think: #ThinkOutsideTheBox #ReformTheCourt #AbortTheCourt
@Axomamma
Incredibly, #ChiefJustice #Roberts was FAR more Moderate when the Court was 5/4, but since becoming 6/3, he is letting his freak flag fly and swinging for the fences. #ReformTheCourt #ThinkOutsideTheBox

@rbreich
The #GOP... the same people rallying around a #ConvictedFelon to be their Party nominee who quotes #Hitler and promised to be #DictatorOnDayOne just b/c he slanted the #SCotUS to its current mess... would go "scorched Earth" to protect it.
There's a better way: #ThinkOutsideTheBox #FixTheCourt
