Damn, Running Coach, he would completely fall for that: “It’s one letter higher sir! We only have ‘G’, while the others have ‘H’ technology - and they’re up to level 4! You need to go to Iowa and tell everyone how they are now going to be connected at 4H speeds! They’ll eat that shit up in farm country!”
Maybe he saw this commercial.

I don’t see Americans are leading, we’re participating, but companies from many countries are working on it. Here in America, Qualcomm is doing a lot on the user side, I’m sure Apple is working on it, but other leaders are Samsung, Ericsson, Nokia, and Huawei.
I guess Verizon and AT&T could count too, since they’re early adopters who are working on putting this equipment in the field.

Good point, and I will retract my claim. As you say, there are many companies worldwide who are working on it.
But dammit, we’re not trying hard enough. We must always be the leader in everything we do!
What if we had a Fourth of July celebration like every other Fourth of July celebration we’ve had, only made this one all about Cadet Bone Spurs?
I would like to know why the British-style Baby Trump balloons are, apparently, unavailable for sale in the US.
All you can get in the USA are sort of pinched-looking Mylar foil ones that are less than two feet tall. (I’d link to the page of Shopping results, but am not sure whether that might be a violation of the rules. Just search “Trump balloons” and hit Shopping and you’ll see it.)
If the British-style balloons----large and without the pinched edges----really ARE embargoed here, then I WANT TO KNOW WHY!
Because if we have to have Trump foisted on us on July 4, then at the very least we should be able to enjoy some nice balloons, displayed at locations around the nation.
If you mean the 20-foot “blimp” ones, I don’t think they’re commercially available anywhere, having been custom-made by a British firm and reproduced with permission from the designer. But you can possibly book one for a scheduled appearance?
We should take up a collection to have at least a couple floating near the White House on a permanent basis.
Thanks! I love that it’s all crowd-funded (the original design and creation, as well as the bookings).
It would be wonderful if there were thousands of the 20-feet-tall ones there to greet Donald on “his” Big Day, July fourth.
Ooh! A Baby Trump Blimp-costumed drill squad!
I may get my friends together for our local 4th parade.
That is genius!
(Though be sure to check local ordinances on partial nudity, first.)
When do you suppose thump is going to designate July 4th as his official birthday, the way Queen Elizabeth celebrates her official birthday in June? That way he can declare that all the decorations, parades, fireworks, etc., are actually all about him and in his honor.
One can probably find Chinese knock-offs, though.
Trump to America: “6G!”
America to Trump: “4Q!”
I’m not sure what size the original balloons were, but these claim 25 inches:
Around $20
This is interesting … I think the proposed Trump-a-ganza on the Fourth will be the first time Trump has gone out in public, to an event that people didn’t have to pay to get in or wear a MAGA hat. (That’s assuming he doesn’t turn the Lincoln Memorial into one of his rallies. If he does, I think it’s time for torches and pitchforks.)
So, wait… Little Donnie Fail-Fail has designated July 4th for us to celebrate America? And there will be fireworks? :eek:
Why hasn’t anyone thought of this before? :smack: It sounds great! :rolleyes:
I hope PBS doesn’t move their celebration just for him.
Yeah, all the ones I found in my Shopping search were, basically, that one. Like all foil balloons, they have a ridge around the perimeter—very different in appearance from the original 20-foot ones (which are made of something like latex, I’d assume).
