  8. "Make America Great Again", is referring to a time when America was a democratic-socialist nation. Democratic socialism was used to pull the US out of the Great Depression with FDR's New Deal and worked exceedingly well up until 1980, when Reagan's economics started to reduce and eventually lower the life expectancy of the average American. "Even before the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic occurred, the US was mired in a 40-year population health crisis. Since 1980, life expectancy in the US has increasingly fallen behind that of peer countries, culminating in an unprecedented decline in longevity since 2014." doi: 10.1001/jama.2020.26339 The Preamble to the US Constitution is a leftist manifesto that we've yet to live up to: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." "Technological fixes are not always undesirable or inadequate, but there is a danger that what is addressed is not the real problem but the problem in as far as it is amendable to technical solutions." Engineering and the Problem of Moral Overload doi: 10.1007/s11948-011-9277-z (Why do scientists tend to have liberal (progressive) views?): https://www.quora.com/Why-do-scientists-tend-to-have-liberal-progressive-views/answer/Bryer-Sophia-Gardener (Lost Einsteins: The US may have missed out on millions of inventors) https://mitsloan.mit.edu/ideas-made-to-matter/lost-einsteins-us-may-have-missed-out-millions-inventors "The best weapon of a dictatorship is secrecy, but the best weapon of a democracy should be the weapon of openness." Niels Bohr "I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals." Albert Einstein, Why Socialism? “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.” Isaac Newton "If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality." Stephen Hawking, 2015 Reddit AMA "Above all, we should bear in mind that our liberty is not an end in itself; it is a means to win respect for human dignity for all classes of our society.” Admiral H.G. Rickover, Father of the US Nuclear Navy

  25. If 2,977 people died from the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, then Dereliction-of-Duty Donny's criminal negligence has led to 70 times that many lives lost to the Trump Virus - so far. Oh, and there’s the equivalent of another 9/11 in American lives lost to the Trump Virus every few days. Osama bin Laden couldn't have dreamed of doing as much damage to the US through terrorism as Dereliction-of-Duty Donny has through criminal negligence. "A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person." https://www.realclearscience.com/blog/2016/09/the_basic_laws_of_human_stupidity.html ------------------------------------------- "I do not take responsibility at all." ― Impeached President 'Dereliction of Duty Donny' Trump “Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible.” ― Admiral H.G. Rickover, Father of the US Nuclear Navy “Placing Alarms in Cutout: 1. Alarms and warning lights provide watchstanders with audible and/or visual indications of abnormal conditions. Inadequate or untimely response to alarms and warning lights may result in degraded capabilities, equipment damage, or personnel injury. …” (USS Asheville SSN 758 Basic Submarining and Watchstanding Guide ASHEVILLEINST 9210.7A, p.10)
