  1. I think any public figure who recommends the vaccine should record themselves getting the shot. I want them to prove it is safe.

  2.  @harryamos7869  I didn't say anything about Trump, but I do think him getting the vaccine in secret months ago was a poor decision. I would also rather avoid speculation on why he kept it secret. There is simply a lot skepticism out there, so public figures should show they are willing to get the shot to improve public confidence in the vaccine.

  4. The worst part is the Russian public is gullible enough to believe it.

  6.  @udarpavarota396  You know there more than one way to fight autocratics? The Soviet Union didn't collapse due to an American invasion. Sending weapons to Afghanistan and issuing sanctions against Soviet Union pushed the Soviet collapse.

  11.  @rahminbuckman6090  Our K-12 is one of the worst in the developed world, while we have the #1 higher education systems in the world. Why would we let the government try to ruin our higher education system with socialism?

  12.  @rahminbuckman6090  The data that shows children with pre-K have an education advantage also shows that any advantage is gone by third grade. The other kids will catch up. This is just Democrats giving "free stuff" in exchange for votes. It would be a whole another story if they had a plan to actually pay for it beyond 1 year.

  13.  @Apache1970  What currency are they going to switch to? Unless forced to by debt deals, no one wants China's currency that is continually valued outside of supply and demand. The CCP even has capital controls because Chinese citizens prefer to switch to the dollar. Switching to the Euro would just bring the same issues as the dollar, but with more volatility.

  14.  @Apache1970  There isn't enough of the mineral on Earth to equal the collective value of every US dollar. This was true in the 1970s before the value of the global economy has doubled several times over. Try again

  15.  @Apache1970  You clearly have less than a basic understanding of economics. Again, there isn't gold on earth to be a substitute for the US dollar. Using the gold standard would permanently limit the money supply, which would result in people holding onto their wealth instead of investing it. China and Turkey are buying gold to get around their own countries' capital controls. Their citizens would love to dump the crappy local currency for dollars, but their governments have made the exchange at the market rate illegal. Instead, they have to settle for gold as a more stable holder of value than their own domestic currency. While the US dollar does have an inflation issue, it is still the most stable currency, which is a global market where double-digit inflation is the standard. It is good news that BRICS continues to grow, but it doesn't mean that these governments are reliable financial markets. Brazilians don't want South Africa's rand, and South Africans don't want Brazil's real, so they will continue to use the dollar. (It would be stupid to assume they would use volatile gold, too.) The only market big enough to replace the US would be China, but China refuses to let go of capital controls and the nation's lack of rule of law makes the yuan an attractive currency reserve.

  16. Most Republican voters are not okay with people choosing not to work, because they are leaching off the taxpayers.

  18.  @mark15vintage9  Don't be a sore loser. We will take back the House from the Democrats in two years after Americans sees what Biden's B.S. policies does to their quality of life.

  19.  @DuaneHallinSD  It's because of all the modern surveillance that Russia keeps shuffling troop movements, removing license plates, making empty military dumps, and taking away soldiers cell phones. Also, there isn't any chance that NATO and Russia are going to face off. At most, Ukrainians defending their home are going send a bunk of Imperialist invaders back home to Russia in body bags with Western weapons.

  20. They said the same thing about the Euro is the 2000s and the Japanese Yen in the 80s. This is the current generational panic.

  21. ​ @crescentprincekronos2518  US is not an empire. It wealth is through trade and innovation, while Empire's steal resources from those they conquer.

  24. No. Otherwise there would be a massive explosion if a missle struck. Duh.

  25.  @titanproductions3628  Russia is using dumb missles on civilians as a form of terrorism on the Ukrainian population.

  26.  @mrmedium7984  You are out of touch. There are plenty of low-income citizens who don't have smart phones.

  27.  @mrmedium7984  There are many people on welfare who have bought a smartphone with very limited data plans. However, many low income individuals, especially among older generations, don't have a smartphone or internet access. You may also be surprised to find many people on welfare have cars, but not every person on welfare has a car.

  28. Ukraine is much better equipped than the Chechens. It is honestly going to be tragic how many young Russian boys will return home in bodybags fighting Putin's pointless war.

  29.  @data_bank3535  Even the Soviets couldn't fully hide their casualties in Afghanistan and that was before the internet.

  30. The massive payment will help the politicians get reelected. They don't care about the murdered man or the taxpayers -- only reelection.

  31. Texas would like that. Gas prices are too low for the state to make money.

  32. Four European leaders were caught on camera making fun of Trump on the world stage. The ex-president is literally a laughing stock. What do you expect from a former reality -TV star who picks Twitter fights with children?

  35. They never pay taxes on it. They use unrealized gains as collateral to get a bank loan for their income. Since their income is technically debt, they actually get a rebate from the government thanks to generous write offs.

  36.  @rahminbuckman6090  The government programs drove up the price of private colleges too.

  37. Democrats want SALT, gas taxes, and tobacco taxes. In other words, tax breaks for rich and more taxes for the poor.

  38. Democrats use the same naming conventions of the regime of George Orwell's 1984.

  39. Also, what Stalin did to "justify" the invasion of Finland in 1939. Also, what Putin did to "justify" the invasion of Chechnya in the 1990s.

  40. You say that, but Americans on average work more hours than the vast majority of Asian workers.
    1
  41.  @DUI613  You're naive. Corporations and small businesses are increasingly making hourly jobs into salary jobs to get around overtime rules. Also, many pre-Covid hourly workers had second jobs. Lastly, economists back up my claim up. In 2015, they found that on average, Americans work 137 more hours every year than Japanese workers

  42.  @jlvandat69  The Russians claim the sinking of the Moskva was done by Russia by mistake instead of by the Ukrainians. Maybe they think Russian casualties are caused by Russians shooting themselves too?

  43. If there were weapon munitions in the building like the Russian media claims, then there would be a massive explosion if a missle struck. Duh. I swear the Russian trolls are just getting dumber as their ability to use common sense is just disappearing.

  46. The Taliban and Biden said the Taliban would respect women's rights. If you can't trust them, then who can you trust?

  49. It is great news for homeowners. Doesn't always feel like young millennials are the ones always getting screwed?

  50.  @timothyday9597  Their equity in their home went. It is typically good to buy an asset at a low price and then have its value go up significantly. The people who want to enter the market when prices are high are the ones in bad shape.
