I had 2 years of electronics in high school. The teacher was a former engineer for Boeing. I took this teacher for physics as a senior, instead of physics he worked with me and a couple other guys on electrical design. After high school I spent 4 years in the Navy as an Electronics Technician then 40 years at Boeing first as an electrician then as a functional test tech. My best moments at Boeing was finding engineering errors then not only identifying them but supplying the fix for the problem.

My older brother took high school electronic shop courses (this was California, pre-Prop 13) and learned things like “plasma etch deposition” which I only know of because I helped him prepare a resume. After he learned everything the shop class could teach him, he dropped out. Apparently learning about the Austro-Hungarian Empire wasn’t his jam.

A schadenfreude-y bump for the thread:

[https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/26/us/ammon-bundy-idaho-hospital-lawsuit-26-million/index.html](https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/26/us/ammon-bundy-idaho-hospital-lawsuit-26-million/index.html)

You’re welcome, but before the partying begins:

> Both defendants refused to appear in court, resulting in a default judgment against them. Bundy [wrote in an open letter](https://www.peoplesrights.org/news_view?/come-no-more-upon-me-a-warning-letter-from-ammon-bundy&id=f6984a7c-eafc-4082-a3b4-e99dfe129733) to the hospital and state officials before the jury’s decision that he could not pay any judgment because he had the legal battle had forced to “liquidate all my assets except a few.”

Although I expect it’s more that he’s converted assets to less accessible assets and/or transferred ownership to third parties, perhaps as other RWNJ’s before him. We’ll find out eventually.

Also, not surprising to anyone, he’s trying to hide his assets in order to avoid his monetary penalties.

And then they let him out again on a $10,000 bond? What on earth makes them think that he will show up again? He may not be a “flight risk” but holing up in his compound with armed guards daring the authorities to come and get him amounts to the same thing.
