The folks behind the 1985 Live Aid concerts posted 10+ hours of footage for the 40th anniversary on July 13. I'm surprised these videos only have a few hundred thousand views so far. So many great performances in here ...last night I watched Sting & Branford Marsalis duet on "Roxanne" and "Driven to Tears"...just two musicians filling an 80,000 seat stadium with talent & heart. Great stuff.
Welcome to the official Live Aid YouTube channel. Here you’ll find the legendary performances in the best possible quality.
Every view on this channel will generate earnings to support the tireless work of the Band Aid Trust.

Truth here. The child fuckers should go to prison. But of course, they will not. Ever.
"But it’s actually about the policy issue I’ve probably spent more time writing on than any other in my career in journalism: the two-tiered system of justice and accountability in America, and the impunity we afford the nation’s elites."

Okay, McDonalds, I don’t object to you turning a profit, but charging nine dollars for a fillet o fish sandwich is taking enough of the piss to flood half the city.
@Smeetoo It's called friggin' Summer. This climate scam is only a wealth transfer scam intended to take away money and power from you and transfer it to the ultra-wealthy, nothing more, poverty and lockdown for you, private jets and underaged hookers for them.
That's great. I have never made bread myself and have seen many failed attempts. It seems that some people I know can make bread without even measuring. This store bought bread just isn't the same and it's getting pricey. I didn't have time to fix much this weekend but managed to pick up some excellent bacon two fine T bones and four nice thick Rib-eyes on the bone from a high quality Butcher. Some egg plant and potatoes. They weren't cheap but I feel that the ones that produce quality should be supported. And I was hungry. I really didn't need anything my pantry fridge and freezer packed already you would think I was born in the depression. Their bacon is excellent and doesn't taste sour like confinement raised pork.
@Jeremiahclerk My mom made bread, so I've been making it all my life. It's really easy, not mysterious at all. But it is fun, because it's alive, until you murder it in the oven.

Reacting to a report that FBI agents were instructed to "flag" any mention of Donald Trump in the Jeffrey Epstein files, a former chief of staff of Homeland Security said the instructions "reeks of a cover-up.
The U.S. Department of Transportation on Saturday said the Trump administration planned to take several actions against Mexico over airline competition issues.
"U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy today announced a slate of America First actions to combat Mexico's blatant disregard of the 2015 U.S.-Mexico Air Transport Agreement and its ongoing anti-competitive behavior," a news release from the U.S. Department of Transportation said.
The department said Mexico hasn’t been in compliance with the bilateral agreement since 2022, when it rescinded some flight slots for U.S. carriers at Mexico City's international airport and forced U.S. cargo carriers to relocate operations within the city.
While the department said Mexico claimed the slots were taken away to allow for construction at the airport, "that has yet to materialize three years later. By restricting slots and mandating that all-cargo operations move out of [Mexico City International Airport], Mexico has broken its promise, disrupted the market and left American businesses holding the bag for millions in increased costs."

John DeLorean left Pontiac in '73 to go start DMC. And probably do some coke. The GTO was one of his babies. I imagine that not having him there to go to bat for the nameplate had something to do with it going away, because they didn't really shy away from putting holy badges like SS and 442 on cars that didn't deserve them in the late 70's.
GM got choked pretty hard around '73 because of the oil embargo and much more strict EPA regulations. The way they approached both of those problems was to lower compression ratios and run the engines much, much hotter. Cars went from running at a nominal 180° to running at 200-210°. This cut down on emissions, but the oil of the time COULD NOT handle the extra temps and would cook off. It caused a lot of premature engine failures in mid-1970's American cars, including making massive clouds of black smoke from badly worn valve guides. The same engines that had been rock-solid reliable ten years earlier were suddenly anemic junk, and most people didn't really understand why.
GM also dropped all convertibles from the lineup for the 1976 model year, because they believed the feds were about to ban them for safety reasons. It didn't happen and GM reintroduced convertibles in 1986. There were a few companies doing aftermarket convertible conversions in the interim.
Oh if you want to read up on something interesting from the time, look into Soichiro Honda and the development of CVCC technology. CVCC created multiple zones of fuel/air mixture in the combustion chamber (rich near the spark plug, leaner on the other side of the chamber) so that the flame kernel would more thoroughly combust the fuel during each power stroke, and create fewer emissions. The early CVCC Hondas didn't even need catalytic converters to meet emssion standards.
There was a rather famous interaction between Congress and representatives of the Big Three, who told Congress that the reduction in emissions they wanted was not possible, and then Honda sat down in front of them and said, "Can do, can do." Much to the chagrin of the other manufacturers.
Another interesting thing from the early 80's was Smokey Yunick's "Hot Vapor" engine. He built an Iron Duke in a Fiero that made like 200hp and got 70mpg by creating a vaporized gas/air mixture under low boost in the intake manifold. Smokey hated computers, so the system was completely mechanical. He shopped it back to GM, but they were going in the direction of EFI and weren't interested.
The Hot Vapor Fiero is in the Don Garlits museum in Florida now.
Honda engineers innovated a new fuel delivery solution to help their engines meet increasingly more strict fuel emissions requirements. This video explains ...
The issue with switching to unleaded is valve fouling. The lead acted as a lubricant between the valves and the valve seats in the head. The fix for that is stainless steel valves and/or hardened valve seats. Stainless steel valves are more expensive, and hardened valve seats require an extra machining step in the manufacturing of the head (and also more expensive). But once that problem is solved, you can run whatever CR you want as long as your gas is high enough octane rating.
They had to go to unleaded to keep from clogging catalytic converters in 1975 MY cars. But they started dropping compression ratios and running the engines hotter in '73. '72 was pretty much the final year of the ultra-high-performance, solid lifter engines with big fat Holley carburetors in US cars. In '73, they introduced the Rochester Quadrajet, which had much smaller primaries and larger secondaries, and also had a solenoid to slam the butterfly shut to try to keep the hotter engines from dieseling after being shut off. In '75, GM introduced HEI ignition, which replaced all the old points-type ignition systems in the earlier engines. HEI was actually great, and is still found on a lot of hotrods and older cars that still run distributors.
One of the interesting events that happened around that time was Soichiro Honda introduced the CVCC technology, that burned much, much cleaner than what everyone else was using. The CVCC used a staged intake system that created a range of rich-to-lean fuel/air mixture in the combustion chamber (richer closer to the spark plug, leaner as it moved away) and would create a flame front that consumed more of the fuel and cut way down on hydrocarbons.
And of course, GM had placed a bet on the Wankel and it didn't work out for them. GM could afford to lose. AMC, who had planned on buying Wankels from GM for their mid-70's and later lineup, was hit pretty hard when the engine of the future wasn't.
I've kind of got a grudge against Toyota, because their reputation for reliable engines is based on outright theft. The 22RE is the illegitimate grandchild of the old Chevy Stovebolt 6, and the 4A series DOHC engines were pretty much a straight copy of the Ford/Cosworth DOHC 4. They just switched it from imperial to metric measurements. The 4A led to the 7M series that led to the 1JZ and 2JZ, which are the giants that all other Toyota engines stand on. And Toyota was having all of their R&D paid for by the Japanese government to give the Japanese auto industry an unfair advantage in the US market.
But Honda has always been an extremely forward thinking engineering company and they've come up with some really innovative and interesting concepts.
I do know Lotus claims to have invented the variable valve timing that eventually became VTEC. It was for the next generation LT5 they were developing for the ZR1 Corvette in the 1990's, but GM cancelled the LT5 in favor of the LS series of pushrod V8s. The LT5 wasn't going to fit in the C5 Corvette without a comically bulging hood.
Guess who's a dumb bitch that drove like 20 minutes out to follow a bright light in the sky? IT'S MEEE!!! Anyways, ended up at a church festival, so join me as I make eating enchiladas into a language lesson so that tonight won't be a total waste of time.

So supposedly people claimed to be Jewish sued Ford to force him to maximize profit at the expense of other things
If that is the case then these people claimed to be Jews would have then set the precedant for forcing corporations to do business with China to maximize short term profit which undermined America
@shortstories That is 100 percent correct, it was the Dodge Brothers that sued Ford and their lawsuit created the caselaw for what we now know as "shareholder primacy"
