@ecomp3069 Does nothing? Do you think a company just magically works with no supervision? The "fat cat" orders the seeds, negotiates product price with buyers, makes sure all equipment is functioning properly, schedules repairs or purchases new equipment, tests the soil, monitors watering, worked to collect the knowledge needed to grow the crop, and much more. Notice how seeds, equipment, the land, etc are all out of the "fat cats" wallet, not the workers. That person assumes all the risks and the worker assumes none. If you think farming is easy and farmers are rich, you know nothing about it. The majority of farmers work a regular job on top of working the farm because the profits from farming aren't enough to live on. They do it so you don't starve, so stop portraying them as bad or evil. It's already hard to get new people into farming, so if people like you keep pushing this BS, every farm will be owned by big corporations instead of the 75% owned by families that we have now. Edit to add: You clearly didn't watch the video because the worker interviewed said he works beside them often.

My thoughts exactly. Add in we're destroying every way to scientifically track a lot of what we normally do with vaccines, like longterm side effects and any data on natural immunity. Plus trying to coerce those who can't take vaccines, it's not a good look. Then there's the nearly complete ignoring that the majority demographic that's unvaccinated is minorities and people with a PhDs yet the narrative is it's the middle class and a certain party that's holding out. Also add in we're allowing 200,000 + across the southern border every month that aren't vaccinated and most not even tested. They have to start being consistent logical if they want to reduce hesitation.

@fbcpraise My doctors tell me it's not safe for people with my condition and not recommended. Then again I can't take any vaccine. That doesn't stop people from trying to shame me and ostracize me from society and toss me into antivaxx in an attempt to force me to take it anyway.

It's anti racist language to justify racism against other races.

@Snugggg That was switched because it was more economical over time. "Clean" energy isn't. It's more expensive, leaves just as big of a carbon footprint as what it's replacing, destroys ecosystems and wildlife at a much higher rate than what we use now (even counting oil spills), and has a much worse ecological impact for mining the minerals and disposal. Why would you invest in something more expensive, less reliable, and more destructive then what it's replacing? Edit: Some uncomfortable truths for you, but all true nonetheless. The reason it destroys the ecosystems and wildlife worse than an oil spill is because life will return where a spill has occurred. The grass and plants won't around solar panels (running off wildlife from the area) and the wind turbines will keep killing massive numbers of birds and insects for as long as one is placed there. The windmills also run off wildlife from the area due to the sound coming from them in the ground. I live in Oklahoma around an area with a lot of them. There is almost no deer population here now because of them.

@huckwach3074 They are terrible. The mining for the minerals causes far more ecological damage as does disposal of them. People need to wake the hell up about this stuff.

There were discussions in the past about making campaign promises like that. It was if it violating election laws by basically buying the vote. I think it's one that should be revisited.
13
That's intended. The less you are able to drive, the fewer the emissions. They want everyone to use public transportation or bikes.

@peterpan8263 Some corrections in that list. PBS no longer receives government funding, city and state zoos are run by private donations, as are most libraries, many beaches are private, there are volunteer fire departments so that depends on where you live, I don't see a lot in that list as positives either. A lot of you confuse infrastructure with socialism. Every country has infrastructure, but every country isn't socialist. Just because systems overlap, doesn't mean it belongs to your preferred system. It means it doesn't belong to any specific system. You're listing Medicare and Medicaid and then healthcare separate. Those all fall under healthcare. Unemployment insurance is paid by your employer not your taxes. Every country pays their government workers, so again that's not socialism that's just government as a whole. Public street lighting falls under infrastructure as does sewers. Department of Human services falls under Welfare and government workers. Pretty much this is a list of misinformation and repeated things by listing everything separate and then listing it again as jointly.

Agreed. Almost every study saying they work is based on models or just case rate without any other factor figured in. The ones that say they don't used control groups and real world settings. Plus the positive ones aren't taking into account what type of mask. No study shows a piece of cloth having any significant impact unless you consider less than 10% significant.

@MelissaR784 That isn't true anymore. A way to use the highest level of dangerous waste as fuel has been found so we can now recycle it. The rest is not really that dangerous. The majority of waste is just everyday objects used by workers in the plant that are very low radiation. Not much higher than background radiation you're exposed to all the time. That and the intermediate level waste can be stored in boreholes created by fracking and retrieved later if need be. A technique to do that was developed last year. So unless you think something being stored 5,000+ feet below the surface is going to impact the environment, it's not an issue. Just because some countries have stopped studying nuclear power and making improvements doesn't mean all have. Edit: Using less radioactive and more easily obtained elements has also shown very promising results in maintaining energy output but creating less waste.

Yes. It was said early on that death rates will increase. Suicide alone almost doubled which is already one of the top killers. Drug overdoses, homicide, etc. You'd need to factor out all those to get anywhere near the excessive deaths that can be put on the virus. I know one early study said that most people that died from/with it, would have done so within a few more months. The average age of death was above life expectancy. The lockdowns caused deaths that wouldn't have occurred especially in young people. To me, that's the biggest and most important takeaway. Elderly with one foot in the grave is sad. Young people full of potential and decades left on their lives is tragic.

@aaronvessels There really isn’t competition and that’s part of the problem. Go look at what’s available to purchase and look at where it’s made. Trying to avoid purchasing from China is impossible. I don’t see how that’s somehow creating competition. China steals intellectual property constantly. They then mass produce a similar but very inferior product and I’m supposed to be grateful I get to end up spending more in the long run having to constantly replace it because they’ve driven out the good product? I really don’t think people fully grasp the situation. I’ve seen people have their designs stolen by Chinese companies. They’ve lost before they are even able to build up their business. China will not allow us to go after these companies so we’re supposed to do nothing as they steal every idea thwarting businesses here?

My husband's Union doesn't do that anymore. They told their representatives to go independent and put political donations based on the person. It's because Democrat policies are causing job losses for Union members. That shift happened during Obama. It's the Engineer and operators Union.

@cassmarkonthemove Same. We buy half a cow. We call the processor and he/she gives us the cuts we want. It's way cheaper because my filet costs the same as my ground beef. It's better tasting and better quality than what you get in the store too. I've done it with a pig, but it's not as cost effective. So now we just process any wild female boar we manage to kill while deer hunting.

@benjones8977 One look at the "Green New Deal" tells you that. No more driving yourself around. All transportation would be public, forcing people to live closer together. No more airplanes. They'll be replaced with high speed rail so no more flying to another country. That will force people to stay close to their families or destroy families because otherwise they'll be almost completely cutoff from them. No more real meat and synthetic meat will be too expensive for most people forcing people to eat bugs for protein or go vegan. The "deal" forces people to live in cities, eat like a 3rd world country, be trapped where you are, and gives the government complete control over all of it.

@jdtreharne Food is NOT the cheapest it’s ever been. Chicken is up almost 50%. My wage did not go up 50% therefore it’s NOT “the cheapest it’s ever been”. It does no good to build bigger houses if no one can afford to buy them. Especially since most people now no longer want McMansions and instead want houses smaller for less upkeep. In other words the market isn’t being driven by what the consumer wants.

He also said "I AM the science". Whenever the goes in front of science, it's no longer science and has become a faith.

The messages at the end about brushing your teeth. The more you know! I miss that.

@mrnarason Studies have shown lockdowns aren't effective. That simply stressing social distancing and washing your hands produce the same results. Only 1% of the spread can be traced back to dining in a restaurant. 66% is from the home. So why have restaurants been closed because we've known that statistic for awhile? How is Walmart safer than my mom and pop store? Freedom of assembly is guaranteed by the Constitution. No where does it say that assembly has to be a protest. You can give away your rights for a sense of safety if you wish, but you don't get to take away mine because you're afraid. Freedom comes with personal responsibility. Studies also show that these lockdowns and restrictions have caused more deaths globally than the virus ever will. That's just in the short term. In the long term the damage from them will be felt for decades in increases in mental problems, a drop in education for this generation, and an increase in yearly deaths due to diseases not being caught early and from an increase in poverty. That's just in what we can measure right now and doesn't include the financial fallout. So we've sacrificed our future to save those close to and over 80 because those are the most at risk. Before you start with people will die stuff, people are already dying. We all die because that's the nature of life, and more young people are dying from the lockdowns than elderly are from the virus.

@blondejon5538 I imagine if you were one of the chosen few allowed to prosper, it would be better to them. There are very few of them though, compared to the general population.

@patrickbateman1660 The boosters are only effective against the original strain. They do basically nothing against the newer ones. That's according to the pharmaceutical companies in testimony in trials and government inquiries.

@m8956 You realize the baker won right? The Supreme Court held that he didn't violate civil rights because they were free to purchase any pre made cake available in the store. They could not force him to use his skills to make something against his religious beliefs. Most people that watch these videos are libertarians who believe private business should be able to refuse service if they want to because the free market will create an alternative if there is a need for it.
6
@brandondherin2558 More than that really. Until the Syrian crisis, we took in 75% of the world's refugees as well. That number is the amount allowed in as green card holders. It doesn't include the various visas for education and other statuses.

The video said making plastic bags is half the emissions of other types. The cloth ones and paper bags. Switching was still the right move.

@LavenderBlue-g1j Loved Little Women. Each girl had a different ambition so all were represented. It also taught that what you think you want might not really be what's best for you later.

I agree. Some of these books are graphic too. This is happening because of DEI (I prefer DIE as more accurate). It's why the Oscar's have now put those as more important in a movie getting an award than if it's good art or impacts how films are made. That's been the case in literature for awhile and why a completely fake story like 1619 got a Pulitzer.
6
That type of deposit has been around since everything was in glass bottles. Unlike plastic bottles though it's because they could be sterilized and reused. I don't believe it was added onto the price though. It was to encourage people to return them for reuse. As for a "tax on poor people", nobody is forcing them to buy it and it's a tax on everyone. That economic group isn't being singled out. You're just using them to justify your opinion as an emotional argument. If your arguments against it were strong enough, you wouldn't have to resort to an emotional one.
6
Since every government agency is now under total one party control and actively using that power against it's political opponents I don't understand how anyone can argue that ever again.

Newsome is facing a recall.

@rtorres4132 You're being disingenuous or you don't have a clue how the Australian government works. Scott Morrison isn't doing this to Australia. It's only in the most heavily populated areas by their state government. Much like in the US, Australian states are more powerful than the federal government. This is happening in New South Wales, not all of Australia which is why a comparison can't be made. Blame the premiers of the states doing what they are in Australia, not the Prime Minister. It's similar to New York putting in massive restrictions, which they are, and thinking that's going to bankrupt Texas or the entire country. It will cause damage outside it's state, but it can't bankrupt the entire country. Edit: All the countries you bring up are also financially supported by the EU. They bailed Greece out 3 or 4 times, and they'd do the same for any other country under it's banner. You are comparing apples to oranges. The reason Venezuela is as comparable to the US is because the US is supported by the Petro dollar just like Venezuela was and we shared similar freedoms.

@coryc9040 It's not based on "the characteristics of the fetus". It's based on if it needs the mother's body to live. If it doesn't, then it has rights of it's own and that's murder. No one can explain why the baby has to die at that point. It can simply be removed from the uterus and allowed to continue it's life without the woman. I can easily argue the other side of your stance. Why not carry the baby until it no longer requires the woman's body and then remove it? A lot of this boils down to people not understanding the reason there's a state to begin with. The primary role of the state is to protect the lives of it's citizens. That would include future ones. That's why even Roe recognized the interest of the state outweighs the bodily autonomy of the woman at a point. For men that's the draft, for women that's the future citizen inside them. If you really want your brain to explode, ask the pro abortion (because they want up to birth and even beyond now in some states), if the man can abort his rights to the baby. They'll spew prolife arguments at you left and right when you bring them into it, even though 1/2 the baby is their DNA.

@farjammovahedi4057 Capitalism is based on the free market. China has a tiny amount of capitalism in it's economy, but not much. Most of the things are made under government directive. A lot is in camps and prison labor. That's the government, not a business making that call. Small businesses are privately owned as long as the person/family maintains a certain social credit score. It's removed by the government if they don't. Large companies are 20% owned by the government and the heads of them can and will be replaced for someone more loyal at a moment's notice. That's not capitalism at all. If you're an outside company wanting to tap into China's large population you have to follow very carefully a lot of rules. One misstep and you're tossed out. So attempting to equate China using basically slave labor with capitalism is a very uninformed take. The only thing that can be said is close to capitalism there is in buying things. Even then if your credit score is too low you can't buy certain things.

@itsMe_TheHerpes Our brains grew because we cooked and ate meat. It's never been a "luxury" or rare. You obviously live in a city and have no clue how anything works. There are large amounts of shells uncovered at past Native sites along the coasts because they fished and hunted constantly. I can easily hunt and fill my freezer without ever going to a grocery store. Do you think all this land didn't have abundant wildlife like deer and Bison before? Do you seriously think large animals weren't always here pooping and farting? I guarantee there were more Bison, deer, moose, etc than cows on ranches today. You be vegan if you want to, but you're not going to force it on the rest of us.

@DinoDino118 Amazon pays a minimum of $15 an hour. That's above the poverty line. If they are working there and on food stamps, they are committing fraud. If they are part time, then they should have a second job to make up the work hours they aren't getting. Capitalism is the best economic system we have available at the moment. Socialism has always failed and always causes widespread poverty. The US isn't a pure capitalist country so I'm confused why you're making that the standard. We are a mixed economy. Yes, I've been poor. Poor in the US is completely different than poor in Venezuela. I had food, a roof over my head, and clothes on my body. We were on foodstamps and welfare for awhile. Only a tiny fraction of our population falls into extreme poverty and even then, no one in the US starves to death unless it's from abuse. You accuse people of not knowing what it's like in other countries and claim they don't know what it's like to be poor. Then you backtrack when someone points out poverty in the US can't be compared to poverty in other countries because our poor are in the top 1% of the world's population in wealth. Your arguments are so all over the place they don't make sense. It's clear you have no real stance or point. You just want to argue. The $2 is extreme poverty not just poverty. You're not being truthful in your arguments.

@STho205 The 1973 one was due to a boycott and resulted in the US increasing production. The 79 one absolutely was because had the alarmists not predicted we were running out of oil and the government believed them and reduced production, the disruption from the Iranian revolution wouldn't have had a real impact.

I've heard that a lot throughout this. I always question them why that life is worth more to them than the ones committing suicide because of the lockdowns, the increase in child abuse, the loss of learning for children, and the millions that will starve to death worldwide. I point out that they are saying that to look like they care, when in reality it's to cover their own fear of death. That they are willing to sacrifice millions in an attempt to maybe protect themselves from something we have no real control over.
5
@aaa7189 Yes. I love when it's "hottest temperature on record!" and when you look into it it's just for that particular date and the 100 year record shows the dates surrounding it at a higher record set decades ago.
5
Trump wasn't libertarian, but did have more libertarian type policies then any in recent times. I think he was just pointing out where he was and where he wasn't. Since many Libertarians believe in open borders, even specifying MS13, would go against their ideology. Yes I intentionally switched from little l to big L.
5
@chronick6142 The Libertarian response? That's their call if they choose to run their business that way. It's up to the market/society to decide if they'll allow that company to survive or if people will even choose to work there. There is no line for rights outside causing bodily harm. You're for limiting people's right to associate so how can you expect people to not decide all rights can be severely limited?
5
@loganbyrd2024 Putting all of this on "credit" causes hyper inflation which makes your money worthless. In your other scenario, people have to pay more than just rent and mortgage. How are they going to pay the rent and mortgage that's been piling up under this freeze? Who's going to grow the food, process it, make things, create the gas needed to make things go, fix the stuff that breaks, deliver all this stuff, and all the other necessary things in a functioning system if everyone stays home? Natural disasters don't stop just because you want them to. What about all the 3rd world countries that rely on our food donations to live? Screw them huh. Your lack of understanding of how anything works makes me hope you're not in charge of any budget of importance. Your "put everything on credit" is a symptom of what went wrong with the baby boomers and is why a very large number of them had no retirement.

@cravinbob They aren't saying it's not real. They are saying there wouldn't have been all the fear mongering by the media for a virus with a 99.97 survival rate for those under 70. Yes that's the real number per the CDC and WHO. To put it in perspective, the yearly flu has a 99.98 survival rate depending on the strain. If we didn't have lockdowns you wouldn't be out of work in the first place. I hate to tell you, but lung damage happens with any pneumonia, which is what happens with this virus. The flu and cold cause it, especially in the elderly and at risk. So if that's your bar, we should never do anything. The government is paying for all treatments of this virus if you don't have insurance unless that got overturned. Meanwhile, I'd suggest being healthy in general, which dramatically reduces the risk of complications from any virus.

@jazzyj7834 This post is in response to ADULTS in Ivy league schools chanting horrible things about a racial/religious group and in some cases going beyond that and threatening them or hunting them down attempting to drive them off campus losing job offers that Stossel brought up. The Libertarian view is freedom to associate. It applies to the employer and the employees. It's a response to "loosing job offers" and attempting to clarify that there are legitimate reasons for a job offer being withdrawn. Especially expressing as an adult and recently bad views.

@abd_cheese7353 Why are people concerned about possible unknown longterm side effects now being lumped in with people who think every vaccine causes autism? Why is me wanting to know if it will increase my risk of cancer a horrible person? I take medications that increase my risk already. Not wanting to add something else that I don't know the risk of is reckless and potentially deadly for me. Yet according to you and the MSM, I'm a crazy antivaxxer because I'm daring to take into count possible risk and find that unacceptable. Meanwhile the MSM has been encouraging the entire population to take zero risk and never leave their home.

@lowegule135 Do you understand how markets work? If a good alternative presents itself consumers will buy it and make it the main source overtime. The scenario you're trying to present would be like all but a single first world country having airplanes. It's ridiculous and you know it so I don't know why you'd think that's remotely a decent point. The problem is people and governments are so gung ho on this subject that they ignore the issues with it. Technology just isn't there yet to support the current plan.
5
Yes because no other government in the world has corruption and it's never happened in the US before. We've had Presidents bought and paid for and election fraud before far worse even then now. That's why we have a lot of the laws we do about it. The law is created when the corruption is found and ousted.
5
I doubt that’s the case for people living near the front lines, which is where the man being interviewed was traveling. Most of it was medical equipment, clothing, and repair materials.

@sirdbird7292 Except the example for Trump wasn't a law he created. It was a rule from a private entity he agreed to and his family didn't follow. So he didn't break his own law.

Yes Adam ruins everything. Even his career.

Geologists generally aren't in the alarmists group because they've always studied the Earth's past and understand it better than anyone. I suggest most look to their voices for the truth of the situation rather than climate scientists whose jobs depend on studies the government likes. I was shocked that he found a "fact checker" scientist that would openly admit this is 1000+ years down the road rather than imminent.

@blogintonblakley2708 Where was anyone blaming poor people? Unions are rich or were you not aware of that? They donate millions to politicans and lobbyists. Plus, these are Libertarians. We don't hate the rich for being rich.

@WrongTimeWatch We purchased a large deep freezer and it's full after processing. It's worth the expense for sure. Ours is in our garage. Sure we lose a parking space, but the hubby's truck wouldn't fit anyway with my car and we've got 380 lbs of beef for less than $4 a lbs.
4
I agree. Nobody is preventing them from speaking. In fact the opposite. They did exercise their free speech and allowed future employers to know what they believe. Shockingly people of that group or that have business with clients of that group withdrew job offers because they don't want to hire people that hate them which is also their right. Little disappointed in his take on that. The Libertarian view is each is free to associate or not associate.
4
Are you saying the government should be in charge of it? If people want to make bad choices, that's their right to do so. If a company sells things that are bad for people, they're aware it's bad for them ( everyone knows sugar, sodas, and processed foods aren't very good for you), and they buy it anyway the people have made their choice using the market.
4
@Joe_for_real Also keep in mind this is supposed to be about refugees. If you qualify as a refugee, you get money from the government and depending on your financial situation you get moved to an area and are provided housing. So you're whole too much government interference argument goes right out the window as does technically the welfare claim. While not in the welfare program, they do receive government assistance.
4
@usmanyounas5181 You risk your life far more everyday you leave your house. Hell, you're at greater risk of death taking a shower. Now my question to you is: You want to shutdown the economy and let over 100 million people worldwide starve to death? I find your lack of empathy for your fellow man quite disturbing.
4
@austinbyrd4164 Open borders are not economically great. It would be if you have unlimited resources which we don't. It would require more food imported and other basic needs. The flood of low skill workers would drive down wages while demand for products would go up creating higher prices. That's not even taking into account the increase in violence because you'd have people from areas that have been hostile to each other for centuries now living beside each other. Do you think they'll just magically love each other once they leave their current areas, not because they like it here, but just for financial gain? You're just as naive as far leftists wanting a utopia. Utopia for who? Edit: Plus how can you claim to be for private property rights ( a foundation of Libertarianism) and be for open borders? Private property includes your borders.
4
It definitely changes what's important. It also changes how you face the possibility again, at least for me. Not saying I'm fearless, but spending time with people that I care about, making sure my children have all the opportunities I can give them (even if it means moving and temporary hardship for a bit), and makes me view risk differently. I'm not guaranteed tomorrow so I better make the most of right now no matter what.
4
No, the vulnerable protect themselves just like we do against the flu and everything else. I'm not anyone else's responsibility.

He is becoming a dictator. It's very frightening what I see happening in Canada. My husband is from there and a lot of his friends have fled or are in the process of doing so.

I thought that was pretty much public knowledge. I mean they did sell Obama's open seat.

@petman515 I've loved manga and anime for years. It becoming mainstream is troubling though. Whenever something becomes popular these people attack it until they bully their way in and destroy it. With Funimation now having complete control of what anime gets brought and dubbed/subbed the high seas will be calling. They already have changed dialogue to "westernize" it and add in messaging before.

PETA proved that years ago when they got busted killing people's pets. I don't know why anyone still listens to them.

@mattfoley6082 Know your audience. This is a Libertarian channel, not a Trump or right wing one. Since you haven't watched any of the videos on here, they are mostly about government regulations stifling business and innovation.

The quality of goods have been dropping for decades. Sure it’s cheap but it also breaks quickly making it to where I don’t feel I got my money’s worth.

The current bombings going on in Ukraine is adding massive amounts into the atmosphere, but it's not a problem.

Ah yes. The government cheese.

@sprock Yes this is why you're also seeing terms like "micro aggression" and even the popular " triggered". Triggered comes from a severe panic attack that's suffered by someone with PTSD, often seen in long term childhood abuse cases. They've taken that and expanded it to include just finding something offensive in an attempt to make being offensive equivalent to PTSD or even being equivalent to extended childhood trauma/abuse. It's to justify their over reaction to simple everyday interactions in an attempt to normalize that response. To say that they aren't bad people, while true for some that are just seeking acceptance, the ones that are originating this most definitely are.

Don't forget the massive outbreaks of bird flu and hoof in mouth disease causing millions of animals to be removed from the supply.

You're free to seek a job that offers you more. That's how the free market works. If a company wants the best employees, it has to offer the best incentives and/or pay. A good example was before COVID. The economy was booming so much and unemployment so low, businesses were competing for workers. As a result companies started offering more things like paid maternity leave, more paid vacation time, and other things.
3
The thing about poverty is other than abject poverty, what it is changes. Because some will always have more than others poverty never goes away because that’s really all it is. It’s whoever in your society that has the least amount. That could be someone with a yacht if that’s the lowest economic level in your society. Homelessness can never be “solved” because in a free society you can’t force people to participate if they simply don’t want to.

@karozans Correct. Buy from local, smaller farms if you're worried about GMOs. Food that's sold by large companies and that we trade is extremely regulated because it has to meet expectations and be able to provide certain nutrients to a vast and diverse population with different needs. GMO crops allow much higher yields which is needed to feed a growing population. People don't understand that those are real concerns because otherwise one dry season or a too wet season would bring starvation.

@dylanc9145 It's not "young" and this still makes her analogy the same as what the comment claims. Ignoring the current technological shortcomings of "clean" energy isn't helpful and isn't productive.

@janicep1508 I've got 2 kids in college. There is no entrance exam. Those exams are for advanced degrees. You can choose to take a test to clep some of your courses. I did take an entrance exam because I never took the ACT or SAT. Your ACT/SAT determine your placement. If you know a lot that had to take remedial courses, then your college accepted just about anyone for the government loan money.
3
I know WHO changed the tests right after he took office. If that's what it was, we had a lot of false positives including in the hospital and on ventilators.
3
Then the workers should find better jobs. Nobody is forcing them to work there. That's how you correct it, you make it difficult for them to get good employees. It was my understanding it pays minimum of $15 an hour. That's what the minimum wage is going to be raised to soon because it's considered a liveable wage. Stacking boxes isn't a skilled labor, so how much do you think unskilled labor should be worth?

@crashbunks You are mischaracterizing that case. It wasn't because it required ID. It was that it excluded easy to obtain forms of ID that were acceptable for use for identification for other government services. So no, the Georgia voter ID law isn't racist using the lower court decision from the South Carolina case. The key was that they didn't allow forms of ID allowed for other government services. The law it's self wasn't removed either. Just that provision was stricken. That should have been done because it was hypocrisy within the system. As Smoke pointed out, it wasn't a Supreme Court decision because they didn't hear the case, much less rule on it. Edit: Technically you just spread misinformation and so should be removed from the internet like you think others should be. I guess you think people can't read court decisions, or you didn't read it and you are parroting what someone else said.

They're currently going after an Amish farmer. It's an attempt to further expand the commerce clause so they can regulate even small family farms. For example right now I purchase half a cow from a local rancher. That rancher drops the cow off at the processor, they cut it my specifications, and I pick it up packaged and frozen. I purchase the cow seperate from the processor. No different than if I bring them a deer I hunted. They're trying to force that to now go through federal inspections just like is required for grocery stores. That was put in so people would feel safer and have a guarantee it was a certain standard because they weren't buying directly from the producers. If they succeed, there will be no more farmer markets, buying from stands on roadsides, or going to your local farm to pick up fresh food. It will destroy local and family farms.

I think it was intended to be at some point. I can't imagine China funding research on something that wouldn't be useful in that capacity somehow down the road. The question is if it's release was intentional or accidental when it happened. Especially considering they knew about it and still encouraged their population to travel all over the world. So if not intentionally released, they certainly took advantage of it.

The Natives protesting the new pipeline are inherited nobility. The elected government of the nations has already okayed the project and the nation members support it. The royalty is upset because they want a cut of the money. They are using these groups to claim the Natives don't want it to try to strengthen their position. Many are trying to get the truth out. My husband has worked in oil refineries for about 15 years. They are doing all they can. The government investigated if there was price gouging going on and determined there wasn't, but continue to claim it. They think you're stupid.

Elon didn't start out that way. He took $3,000 and created what became PayPal. Something that, similar to his other advances, didn't exist and wouldn't have had he asked for permission. Love him or hate him, he's the biggest innovator in the world today and has single handedly pushed us forward.

@ЯсенЧапкънов Are you trying to say people aren’t left to die in communist countries? That’s completely false. The US has the lowest death per capita for people not receiving treatment. It’s not because they can’t pay, it’s because they usually choose not to. If someone has stage 4 cancer and decides they don’t want to prolong their suffering with treatment, that’s listed as a death from lack of treatment. Around 30,000 a year die from lack of treatment in the US. How many in China? We don’t know because they lie. In Venezuela and Cuba it’s a lot. Nobody dies from starvation in the US. The same can’t be said of China or of the USSR. The poverty in China has been artificially raised to the tune of 800 trillion . The CCP acknowledges they can’t sustain that. So what do you think happens to those people when the CCP stops funding it because they got the political brag points they wanted on the world stage? They go back to starving. What do you think is going to happen now that they are allowing more children? The cap was set because that’s what the government could support. More people in poverty will be the result.

@ЯсенЧапкънов You seem to not know a lot about the US. We have government healthcare for those in poverty that is free and their care costs nothing. We have programs that feed them and shelters if they are homeless. You also don’t understand that the majority currently in poverty will enter the middle class in their lifetime. It’s only a tiny percent of the population that remains in poverty. I’m a good example. We were poor on government handouts. 20 years later and my husband is now making $48 an hour. I’m not unique and this is the norm.

@stephenkramp5602 The birds are dead and the eggs aren't fertilized. So there's zero danger of what you speculated occurring. Please try to a hatch an egg you purchase in the grocery store.

I'm questioning if they've been intentionally infected. The farmers don't hatch the chicks that are used to supply stores. The chicks arrive from the company they have contracted with. They raise them and as long as they keep a certain number alive, the contract is fulfilled and they get paid. So if they send a single infected chick, the entire supply in those houses will quickly become infected. Meaning it could not have come from the farmers, but from an infected batch from the supplier.

@KyleTheDalek Children aren't free. They are under their parents control. Parents can home school and teach their child whatever language they like or make one up. They won't qualify to be recognized as having certain skills required by employers to get a job or be able to communicate with their neighbors so they could potentially work for themselves. If a parent wishes to handicap their child like that, they can it's just not to the benefit of the child. Are you under the impression that language skills aren't learned until we're adults and able to make choices for ourselves? Language skills begin developing pretty much at birth with children finally able to process it enough to speak by around age 2. Unless you completely isolate your child for their entire life, they're going to learn the languages that they hear. Edit: It's also hilarious you're attempting to use libertarian arguments when the person being interviewed is talking about state schools and using state power to force his ideas onto the population.

@mazz4149 The PM of Denmark says it's not. It has a freer economy than most countries. That is measured by government interference in the market. Do you know better than the PM?

@Thomas Commers As others have pointed out, that's not sustainable. The demand is still there. It will drive up prices for awhile, but as new houses are built that will stabilize prices. They are creating a fake bubble. They'll either dump them once prices increase to a point they want, or they'll lose value as the building market catches up with the buyers market. If they don't dump them, they are looking at longterm investment. I just purchased a house btw. We got it for $ 20,000 below asking price and $1,000 below appraisal. By investing less than $10,000 into finishing the renovation, it's value will increase by $40,000-$60,000. Part of the problem is people are picky about the home they purchase and want their "dream" house. I don't even really like this house very much, much less love it. It's a roof over my head and an investment into our future. That's it.

I've been laughing at all the claims this summer. It's an El Nino which always means an increase of a few degrees. Most affected are areas closer to coasts because it changes the flow of the Gulfstream causing it to flow through warmer waters. Everytime there's one, there's accompanying heat waves. The one in the 80s was particularly brutal because it coincided with a large draught meaning no rain to help reduce the temperatures so it just kept climbing. Where I was at the time in the Delta region it was 2 months of 110-115 days. It was far worse.

@aliendroneservices6621 So libertarians are secret socialists? Nope. Large government is bad and socialism requires an extremely large government and even more taxes. Taxation is theft.

@Mayurbhedru The US is the only country in the world with the right to free speech codified into it's constitution. Our music, fashion, and entertainment enjoy global influence like no other country. A country that's a "laughingstock" yet every other country wants to act like us. Not to mention all those countries beg us to protect them. I sleep well in the knowledge that because the citizenry is so well armed, it means our risk of being invaded is pretty much nil.

@squirrel287 France has a mixed economy. As for the rest of your comment, I've talked to several that disagree. How quickly we forget the yellow vests and didn't your government just have to bend to protesters very recently?

@AquarianSoulTimeTraveler Those grasslands are protected. If they aren't protected, ranchers do graze their cattle on them. You don't know what you're talking about. That was the whole issue with the Bundy's incident. The federal government kept taking more and more of the grasslands as protected types of grass taking away grazing lands that the ranchers pay the government to use. We tried what you're talking about and it created the dust bowl. We dug up the grass for farming. The grass was holding the soil in so when the winds came, it created a massive dust storm that spread all the way to DC. You should have been taught this in school, but given that you don't believe in objective reality, to you it didn't happen because you weren't there to see it. Learn punctuation and go back to school because you're clearly not finished.

@burtmcgurt3584 Murder violates the right to life. You don't have the right to violate someone else's. The problem is you don't know the difference between a right and a priviledge. They are not interchangeable. Rights are clearly defined in the Constitution. The Supreme Court has ruled we have a right to privacy, not a privilege to it. The Constitution clearly defines how the government is to obtain information from a citizen and it includes a public declaration of possible crimes. The NSA uses secret courts, which by their definition are a direct violation of the Constitution. We have the right to face our accusers. That can't happen if we don't even know we've been accused. The Patriot Act, which is what ushered all this in, is the largest violation of our rights in modern history. You might be fine with giving away your rights, but it's not your right to remove what the Constitution guarantees me. The only way to do that is with an amendment to the Constitution. That hasn't happened so the NSA is in violation of my rights, that's not an opinion, it's a fact because those rights are clearly defined.

@scallywag1716 I guess since they failed to make a strong enough case against the Amish farmer, that if they had their way would put USDA inspectors at every ranch and processor even if I'm picking my own cow or killed the deer myself and would have destroyed farmer's markets, so they got replaced. We really need a good case against the expansion of the commerce clause so Roberts finally gets his one wish while still on the court. It's been used way too freely as a way to expand government authority. Sorry, but as someone that hunts and buys directly from local farms and ranches that was going to directly impact a lot of people I know. Not to mention put farm fresh food even further out of reach expense wise for a lot of people.

@RaytheonNublinski The bankrupting people numbers are a myth. They got that number from people that filed bankruptcy and included medical bills. You have to include all debt when you file. The bill was not the reason they went bankrupt. I've worked for several medical companies in the billing department. As long as you make an effort to pay, it's all good. We had one elderly gentleman that sent us $1 a month. You set an amount you can pay every month just like anything else. Most of the time the bill is negotiable as well. All of this is if you don't qualify for charity or Medicaid. Most don't know, but if your medical bills make up a certain percentage of your monthly income you can temporarily get Medicaid. They'll file for it at the hospital, since that's where most huge bills are.

@pauperslament3467 Amazon pays $15 an hour minimum. How the hell is that "sweatshop level"? If you're single and can't survive on $15 an hour, then you need to move somewhere that has a lower cost of living. If you get outside large cities, prices drop significantly. $15 an hour is what the left keeps telling me will make us all live like the 1950s (nevermind that the majority of people didn't live like they paint) when one income was enough for a family to live on. I do agree that Amazon should not receive anything from the government because they don't need it, but that's what happens when the government incentivizes certain technology or actions. Big companies will find a way to benefit from them.

@DinoDino118 I'm correcting your arguments. Don't want others talking about your points, don't post on open forums. Yes I understand socialism, but most that argue for it don't. Venezuela is "privately" owned by those in good graces of the leader as an reward for their loyalty. Not unlike a monarchy. Giving someone a business the government controlled and can take back control of at anytime, isn't "privately owned". It also means there's no competition which drives innovation. Socialism doesn't allow an individual true ownership of property. That alone makes it a big no from me. I brought up Venezuela as an example since you kept claiming everyone but you is stupid. I like your personal attacks. That's a clear sign of not having facts to dispute the argument presented and instead resort to an attempt to bully. Since you don't like Venezuela, how about Vietnam then. They achieved the idea of people owning everything. It didn't work either. Their rice production dropped because people realized they got the same benefits regardless of effort. They had to import rice to feed the population. Unfortunately, because their economy went that direction, they had massive inflation of up to 900%. The country went broke just trying to feed them. They did it twice with the exact same results. Would you like more examples of socialism failing? The fact that I can point to examples and explain why they failed shows I have an understanding of socialism. Attacking another economic system with zero evidence or explanation of why it isn't working, shows you don't. Again, poverty in capitalist countries is completely different than poverty in other systems which I pointed out and you ignored. I'll give you more than that the poor in the US is still in top 1% of the world's economy. All but a very tiny portion of poor in the US with be a part of the middle class at some point in their life. That means the majority that are in poverty now, won't remain there which means a lot of upward mobility. I'll even go further. Where I live the cost of living is very low. Living in poverty here means you live pretty comfortably. I know, I lived it. While you can't afford some luxury items, you certainly can meet all your needs. Even more so with the government programs you get. You can afford a car, rent (it's about $600-$700 for a 2 bedroom apartment and there are cheaper), enough food to feed your family, and most have internet or data on their phones. The government also pays for your healthcare with Medicaid (we have extended so that includes eye care and dental). Please explain to me how horrible that is. Again I lived it. Yes, it was upsetting that I couldn't afford nice things for my children that my brother could for his children, but our needs were met which is far more important. I understood the difference between needs and wants as well as necessary and luxury. Just because someone else has something doesn't mean I should too. A lot of it I don't even want. You set the poverty line at $2, which is extreme poverty. The US doesn't have 10s of millions living in that state. Not even anywhere near 1 million. I don't feel like doing the math, but it's 0.11% of the population. Then you'd have to factor out those that choose to live like that in the mountains, so less than that.

The studies they were using to justify a lot of this were from China. They were extremely faulty studies if you looked at them. Mask "studies" were merely comparisons of recorded infection numbers before and after a mandate was put in place. It didn't take any other factors into consideration. That's not how scientific studies are done. They were basing it on correlation being causation which has never been considered scientific. The studies of the masks blocking infection were done in a lab in controlled conditions with the added disclaimer that they weren't proof for a real world comparison. Just like what children were being taught in school was exposed, what had been going on in the scientific community was too. Rejecting inconvenient information wasn't new and had been going on for awhile. I first saw it when a black man lost his grants, his fellowship, and his teaching position because he did a study to see if police are really racist and the result was no.

@Hunterchuck Why would I want to? If I wanted to live under that system I could simply move there. The Nordic model would not work in other countries as it does there. They're completely different economies driven by completely different things. Different available resources, different cultures, different wants and needs. A system tailored to the people and things available in an area can't just be plopped into an area that's completely different.

@oleonard7319 "Other countries have socialized healthcare that works much better than ours". False. If that was true, people from those countries wouldn't travel to the US to receive treatment and they do all the time. The US provides the overwhelming majority of the world's medical research which is paid for by the costs. Those types of healthcare systems are fine if you're relatively healthy, but they're terrible for those with rare diseases and sicknesses. 500,000 die under those systems a year waiting on heart surgery alone. They only purchase medicines to treat the most common conditions, so if have a rare one that requires special medications they won't be available to you. An example is adrenal insufficiency. It's rare. While the steroids to treat it are available as they're common medications used for the treatment of many things including infections that's available. However an emergency injection kit is also required to prevent what's called a crisis that occurs when the body gets stressed and requires a large dose to prevent a coma and organ failure. They are not available in those countries because it's not cost effective for the government to purchase them for such a small number of people. They won't get a big discount because there's no need for a large purchase so they simply don't purchase them. I have no problem getting one in the US. I have experienced Canadian and US healthcare as I've given birth in both countries. I used a government hospital in Canada. Both were high risk pregnancies. I recieved far superior care in the US than in Canada and my care in the US was free because I was on Medicaid.

@DubKei We know why food allergies have increased. We're too clean. Children aren't being exposed at a young age to germs and other things. This is particularly true in more urban settings. Children raised on farms or in small rural communities have not had these increases. Diseases that cause inflammation are increasing because we can treat them now. They don't die so their genes are passed on. I have Lupus and my family has a long history of autoimmune diseases. It's interesting that our inflammation is increasing yet death from heart disease, which is caused by it, has been declining. Another suggested reason for this is because we're widely testing for it now, which we didn't before. So it might not be a true increase, but rather us just finding it more because we're looking for it.

@truebark3329 Police can most certainly choose not to follow the law. Our police force refused to enforce mask mandates. They told the Mayor they aren't the mask police. Not a single one got fired, but then again our police chief is elected and not appointed. You should really look up some of the old laws still on the books. According to you they all should still be being enforced.

@Moore-s5p Also disagree. You have a freedom of association which includes a business or owner of a business. You're thinking is how we ended up with quotas because the right to associate was removed.

@LavishPatchKid They are still processed in the US regardless of where who owned them is. What you are insinuating won't really happen. It's far cheaper to grow and process them here. They would also have to add a sticker saying where they are from if they did what you suggest and people wouldn't buy them. Just like most don't buy fish from certain parts due to what they are fed on the fish farms. It would cut heavy into profits. Tyson is still US owned and they produce the majority of chicken. Edit: The federal government doesn't control the sale of private businesses. So who was President, governor, or anything else is completely irrelevant except to try to score some type of political points from stupid people.

Yes. That case against the Amish farmer is worrying. I buy my meat from local ranchers. It's a lot cheaper and better quality. On average I pay between $3-$4 per pound no matter the cut of beef.

@Jack Sparrow Unions are part of the problem in education. When they protect people that take advantage of their position of authority over a child, you can't argue they are good. Everyone upset about priests and them doing it, yet if there's a complaint about a teacher they just get shuffled around and it's all good. This happens a lot more than people are aware. My brother got put into the teacher's little closet for half the day as punishment for talking in class in elementary. That teacher kept teaching and collected her pension when she retired years later. That's what teacher Unions do. Look at the teacher's Unions fighting reopening. They are getting paid regardless while the children fall behind. Their demands aren't about classroom safety either, even though that's what they're yelling. It's wanting CRT in the classroom and decolonization of subjects. In California they've just negotiated no more grades.
2
Yes the temperature of the Earth fluctuates. It always has. 2003 to present is an extremely small window to claim some permanent change has occurred that you observed. For 10 years where I lived we had an ice storm every other year. Then for 10 years we experienced none and mostly warm winters, then we had massive snowstorms that shut everything down and caused widespread power outages. Now the winters are becoming mild again. Weather patterns change based on shifting winds, water flow, distance from the sun, electromagnetic storms, previous waterfall amounts, etc. Edit: Basically welcome to the south. We have really hot years for awhile and not so hot ones. There's 2 seasons, fall and summer. Spring and winter are very short. Blink and you'll miss them. This is why packets of seeds and plants have a range of when to plant and a range in when it'll be time to winter them.

I'm honestly shocked that he openly admitted this is thousands of years in the future instead of imminent. That is the main thing I've tried to push back on, but it's all about the money. People won't approve of shoving all this money at them if they know the truth and they know it. That's why everything is in "20 years" when in reality it's 2,000 for the 400 foot max sea level rise they are warning you about.

@batmanjones655 Oh! That explains why my daughter-in-law has her e-cigarette stuff shipped to my house. She ships it to us in Oklahoma and we mail it to her in Arkansas or give it to her when she's here. I didn't know they did that. That sucks ass! I've tried to switch to them so many times, but after about a month I get a horrible cough so I gave up. I really liked that overtime I could go down in nicotine to eventually 0 and still smoke. It's the sensation of smoking for me rather than the nicotine I can't do without. They've helped so many quit too.

@vod96 Trump did that trying to force policy changes. The President can't change immigration law, but can control the flow. He wanted us to move to a point system similar to in the rest of the world. Our current system takes time, but is still one of the easiest and cheapest immigration processes in the world. Most aren't aware of that because they've never really looked into it for other countries. Edit: Panama is a good example. It costs $5000 in fees and a $50,000 deposit into a bank there or invested into businesses just to start the process. That's pretty standard for a 2nd world country. Me and the hubby were looking into retiring to one. That's for a specific retiree Visa. It's similar if you want to start a business. Work visas are point based and they generally don't accept refugees.

@Aliens-Are-Our-Friends2027 You said fact check and that's what you got. Nothing that you just mentioned has anything to do with your original comment. I'll answer it anyway. Many countries aren't developed yet so all that technology is worthless. There are many that don't have access to even electricity so what good is technology to them? You're trying to compare apples to oranges. A fully developed country, like the US, is going to be ahead financially of a still developing one. You're welcome to look into the factors that have played into that over the centuries, but the main one is stability.

@0trynewthings0 What resources does NYC or LA have? Hollywood? They don't grow food, they don't have mining, they don't have oil, etc. They are piled on top of each other like sardines so they don't even have land. They are big cities. They built it with certain things like Broadway to attract the rich. Then the rich wanted good food so chefs from around the world came. The wealthy being there creates jobs and businesses to fill their wants so they spend their money. The people that live there benefit from them by also having access to things they otherwise wouldn't. The people voted in bad politicans and bad policies and are now reaping the benefits of their bad decisions. Those bad decisions now effect their economy. That's not because of capitalism. It's because of poor government decisions. Capitalism isn't a government system, it's just economic. Unfortunately, government decisions effect the economy. I'm a perfect example of how wrong you are. I've been on foodstamps and welfare. Me and my husband are now well on our way to becoming millionaires. We made choices and saved to get here. I'm not responsible for you or anyone else deciding that buying a $40,000 car ,when a much cheaper used one will get you there, rather than saving that money is what you choose to do with your money. I'm not responsible for you going away to a college for $60,000 a year rather than one within driving distance for $20,000 or less. You are responsible for your choices and the consequences of them regardless of how long that consequence lasts. I'm not going to suffer because you're impatient and want everything right now. If you are a Millennial, you're already better off then my generation was at your age so cry me a river.

That growth provides more job plus increases other employment in the areas it expands to.

@gregoryeverson741 That depends on where you live. Where I am has a low cost of living and on $15 an hour you can live comfortably. This idea that because something is that way where you are, it's that way everywhere isn't based in reality. A $15 an hour forced wage would destroy small businesses here. Raising prices would be the only way they'd survive. My son makes $14 an hour now. He bought a new truck and has saved enough to move to his own place and paid off his student loans. You are an example of why treating everywhere the same by the federal government isn't a good thing. How do I know what the market here can stand? I'm own a small business here.

@MirzaAhmed89 They don't understand how business or assets work. That's abundantly clear.

@brianw.5230 Who are you to decide that someone else is greedy? His wealth doesn't hurt you. Wealth isn't a pie that is limited in amount. Greed is when you take something for yourself and leave little for others. Wealth doesn't work like that. It is limitless so you can't be greedy with it. You can choose not to share it, but by employing hundreds of thousands of people, he's sharing it. So again, not greedy. You are under the belief that wealth is a tangible good and it isn't.

@JasontheLayman They don't understand that "wealth" is just a number and has no real value outside of getting a bank loan or social status. It's worthless because it's not real unless you liquidate it.

@bvegannow1936 No it's not. It's far more complicated unless you only want to eat potatoes. It takes understanding what nutrients the plants need and what's available in the soil. You can have soil that is completely inadequate to growing food. You need to know and understand how different plants interact with one another, how much room they need, how they pollinate, and a ton of other stuff. For example, if you plant tomatoes in a spot one year, it's a good idea to plant beans there the next year. Tomatoes use a lot of nitrogen and beans replenish nitrogen in the soil. Tomatoes are self pollinating and produce the most if you gently shake them when blooming. Otherwise you'll get a tiny number of tomatoes if any at all. My family has been farmers for generations and it's their accumulated knowledge that allows me to be able to grow food. Edit: I'm not and will never be vegan. Human brains grew at a massive rate once we learned to cook meat and render the fat. Meat and animal fat are necessary for us to be healthy as a species. Just like a cat requires meat. We are not, and have never been herbivores.
2
@bvegannow1936 Rainfall collection only works in places that get a lot of rain. You have no idea what you're talking about. Humans require more than fruit trees and berries to survive and grow properly. Fruit trees do require maintenance because they get disease and insect infestations. I'll go tell my cousins that own a fruit farm they don't know what they're doing because some guy on YouTube watched a video. I'd research what happened when we removed a lot of native grasses on the plains and tried to turn it into farmland if I were you. It didn't turn out well. 1 billion people are starving because they don't have enough land that CAN be farmed and because supplying it as donations by other countries causes the local farming economy to crash making it not profitable and driving people away from it.

@theBear89451 Considering that's the only currently available nuclear power, of course that's what anyone would think. I was promised flying cars and time travel by now. Just because you WANT something to happen doesn't mean it will or that it's even possible. You never plan today for what might possibly become reality in my wildest dreams. You definitely don't base policy on it.

@DarthBalsamic I've seen so many saying it will just help your immune system fight it off when that's not what this vaccine does at all. They think it works like the usual ones. I also love how they say their PCP says it's safe. Like a PCP understands the science behind this. The same PCPs that give people the wrong medication regularly. 🙄
2
That's the point. The businesses become big, lobby the government for more and more regulations, to prevent competition. The big processors propose these regulations so little processors can't grow and compete. It's been going on since Heize and Coke. Heinze had lots of small competitors after he invented ketchup. It was available in different price ranges depending on the quality of ingredients. In order to protect his product he complained to government officials about unsafe ingredients in other versions. Coke did it by demanding the other products weren't safe because the bottles weren't sterilized after he'd purchased a bottling company.

@benjaminkesler5245 I keep hearing this, but the only thing from California in my produce section is almonds and clementines. California mostly grows nuts, fruits, and rice. They are not the huge suppliers of the majority of the market, contrary to what they advertise.

@albundy06 We lived without that being forced on goods until 1966. That's when ingredient labels became required. It's part of interstate commerce. If you buy from a farmer's market, there aren't ingredient labels because they aren't required on direct transactions between maker and consumer. Some print one and put on them and some don't and you have to trust they're being honest. The only reason all that regulation exists is for grocery stores because people were no longer able to interact with the producer of their goods. It was to increase trust in those products. It was never about what it's become. Edit: The baby formula shortage was a direct result of those labels. The agencies are so strict with how everything should be worded that it restricts smaller companies and imports from being available. So there are only 2 factories that produce them that can comply and one was shutdown due to contamination. Parents weren't able to buy and ship some in from overseas, even European countries, because their label of ingredients is listed slightly different.

@LaminarSound That claim has created so many panics over the decades. It's caused global disasters as governments panic. We're heading for the same situation in 2030 when magically we're going to eliminate power from fossil fuels. It's going to get ugly.

@ricardocantoral7672 I didn't have a problem with it because to get a good negotiation for your country, sometimes you should apply economic pressure. It worked out a better trade deal in the end which was the point. There's nothing wrong with leverage. If the pandemic proved anything, it's that we have too few goods produced at home leaving us extremely vulnerable to the whims of other governments. Edit: As for his ego, it takes a certain amount of it to believe you're capable of running one of the most powerful countries in the world. Every President has a massive ego, just others try to hide it. Obama called in all the Republicans and told them he won and they had to do what he wanted. He just didn't do it publicly.

@rtorres4132 Correct. Some Eastern European countries have bucked against the immigration thing though. The original members of the EU, which was completely controlled by Germany until recently, follow lock step with the EU. Some other countries are now thinking of leaving it, but until they do the EU can fine them and take them to European courts for not following it's directives.
2
@rtorres4132 I don't think the EU has put measures in as a rule yet, but I know it's voiced support of mandates and passports. Australia is similar to the US. Just like Biden can't mandate vaccines or passports because that's a power regulated to the states, the same is true in Australia. What Morrison wants or doesn't want is irrelevant. Biden is trying to use a work around to his lack of power by mandating it on businesses, but that's unlikely to get past court rulings. That doesn't appear to be an option Morrison is trying to use.
2
@rtorres4132 If the EU does insist on Covid passports, that will effect travel between EU countries. So most countries will require it within their borders to make sure they can still participate economically within the EU.

@TEGRIDY_FARMS If the consumer doesn’t buy it, less is produced, decreasing jobs and money flowing back into the US economy. It’s really not that hard. If you ONLY focus on half the market sure it doesn’t hurt.

If the government doesn’t just ignore it. You’ll find they don’t really bother with smaller towns. During Katrina and the Houston flooding, everything was about the big city and small towns that were hit harder were ignored except by people near those areas in other states. Both times my little town of 20,000 sent several semis full of supplies to those areas because they were ignored. During the winter storm that knocked out power in Texas, several places became inaccessible by road. It took a week for trucks to be able to start delivering again. The stores were empty and gas was almost gone. The government wasn’t trying to get supplies into us.

Nope. A Union is limited in what they are allowed to do. Having 100 people invade your property with no warning isn't one of them. You can send a couple of Union representatives to talk with workers, but it's scheduled and usually off property. It's for the workers protection and the representatives protection. That owner is responsible if any of those 100 people get injured on his property. That's true of all property. I really want to see 100 Union members try to do that at a factory or chemical plant. If they aren't allowed on those places without permission, they aren't allowed on a farm without permission. Edit: It's a safety hazard and violates OSHA regulations because they haven't received safety training.
2
@bassandtrebleclef A vaccine is usually tested for years before it's released for general use. That has not been done. That's why it's been allowed for emergency use. That classification means a drug hasn't undergone proper testing yet, but people that are going to die because there is no current available treatment can use it because it might keep them alive. I've already had the virus, didn't even realize it, so the vaccine doesn't meet that threshold for me and according to the point of emergency use, I shouldn't even be eligible for it.

That’s not true. The UN has designated a humanitarian crisis and corridors are to be respected by both sides. Notice he’s driving an ambulance. That’s protected no matter what. Humanitarian aid isn’t mercenaries and aren’t designated as such. Mercenaries are armed and fighting, these people are not. If Russia is truly putting volunteers to death, they’ll answer for their crimes in the world court.

@williamm.3612 That’s corporatism, not capitalism. Lobbyist shouldn’t be allowed. Especially corporate ones. This why we say government is the problem not companies. The government creates the opportunity for corruption.

That's because of our definition of homeless. Both my sons are engaged and their significant others live with us. Technically that makes both of them homeless even though they have everything they need. The youngest son's goes to college fulltime and gets all kinds of grants because she's considered homeless. Homeless means not renting or owning a home and not living with a family member. As long as you don't claim that person as a dependent on your tax return, the government considers them homeless.

Yes babies going hungry is an "inconvenience". When a woman's body stood producing breast milk, which happens after about 2 weeks or so of not feeding/pumping, they can't suddenly start producing again.

@busterkeyl I explained that to a guy complaining about building regulations in California. It's true some of them are to implement the green energy that they want, but most are there because something happened and it's an attempt to prevent it in the future. Just like when you see really stupid warning labels like don't iron your clothes while wearing them. They are there because some idiot did it.

@andrewfreeman88 You're right how dare he have an idea, lose money for years to get it going, and then make money from it. The horrors!! Meanwhile celebrities and athletes make tons of cash for just being good at something.

@andrewfreeman88 The fact that you automatically go to his wealth proves my point. I'm defending his right to monetary success. What people fail to understand is that if it's okay to punish him for being good at something, then why should anyone strive to be good at anything if you're going to be punished for it? His wealth is on paper only and based on Amazon stock. He gets an $85,000 salary from his own company and reinvests the profits back into the company on a global scale. You and others are upset about fake wealth that is only good to borrow from a bank with. In order for him to have the amount of actual money you think he does, he'd have to sell his stocks and lose control of the company.

Easily impressionable people don't shape the future. Risk takers do. Name a single easily manipulated person that had a big impact on the word. I'd be surprised if you can find one. What you do find are confident, self assured risk takers driving big changes. Sometimes for good, sometimes for worse, but it's not some easily manipulated impressionable person in the driver's seat.

@thesaintmustwalkalone708 This vaccine doesn't work like a typical one. It only reduces your risk of a severe case or death. The studies done didn't look at anything else. Other vaccines do the same thing, just once a certain percentage of the population is able to rapidly kill the virus, it brings the infection rate so low, the virus can't survive. It's an unknown if that will occur with these because there was no study for that. Until one is done, that's not assumed by science.

Because it's not a thing. When we truly over populate nature will remove a large portion of us just like it does with every other animal that outgrows its resources.

@alxhiding I think it's because we've failed as a society to teach people the primary purpose of the state even existing is to protect the life of it's citizens. I'm not accusing Stossel of this, but more recent generations. They now believe the purpose of the state is to cater to their needs and wants. It's clear when you ask them a couple of simple questions. They've never bothered to even read Roe which plainly says the interest of the state outweighs the body autonomy of the woman at a point, and that point is for each state to decide just not past viability. It recognized that the states interest is in preserving life. While the majority supports abortion in the first trimester, if forced to choose between unrestricted and illegal, the majority pick illegal. The Democrats pushing to codify unrestricted abortion isn't a winning strategy for them. Edit: Two states are now trying to make it legal for post birth "abortions". I'm personally pro-choice with strict restrictions, but if this is where it leads to, outlaw it.

I don't know if it's changed since I used it 23 years ago, but you're not required to buy everything they offer and it was strictly income based, though higher amount than food stamps. It provides milk, beans, fruit juice, cereal, and several other things other than just formula. Mine were formula due to medications and health issues with me and I was on food stamps at the time because we were waiting on my husband's green card approval (I had to move back from Canada to care for my mother who was facing a 6 month surgery recovery and grandmother with breast cancer). Other than amount or price, I wasn't regulated to specific brands.,That was a bit before the WIC approved signs showed up in stores and when only certain stores took it.

45 minutes for a quick charge? Those are limited by the way. That's 45 minutes that truck isn't moving which means the driver isn't earning anything. As pointed out by the previous post it's still less than they can travel now which means increase in delivery time. Increased delivery time means drivers being dinged pay for taking too long. The longer it takes to get, the longer it takes to get back and pick up another load, he less money they make.

Didn't watch the video. He pays them double minimum wage. Even if he paid minimum wage, doesn't justify violating his rights. That means if you hire a cleaning lady and I don't think you're paying them enough, I can bring 100 people into your place and you can do nothing. This is why it's important to view things like this, how they can be used against you.

@kimobrien. What? My brother works for a family hardware store that employs more than 20 because it also does construction bids. I think you don't know anyone that runs a business and are talking out your a$s. In fact I know you are because you think a business can just print it's own money. Some Unions are good and some are bad. I don't care for government Unions and no one in my family has either even though my grandfather, father, and husband were Union presidents. I'm well aware that Unions help workers by them being able to use the Union labor lawyer rather than pay for one of their own. However, a Union should not get to the point that most government ones are. They've negotiated to the point that the only way they can be fired is if they are convicted of a serious crime. That's not fair to the workers that come in, pay their dues, and do their job. It shouldn't be used as a sheild to protect bad people which it too often is. I know teachers that have had sexual misconduct against students that can't be fired because of the wording of the contract. They get moved to a low level administration job instead. My tax dollars shouldn't be paying the salary of someone like that unless it's in a jail cell.

For those who don't understand what this is, it's an attempt to undo the ideas from the enlightenment. That's the end goal. That because it was created by Europeans it's automatically wrong and bad. It'll be easier to do if they can unperson those that promote and believe in it. That's how a black person can be a white supremacist. They are using the tactic of teaching children to villanize and be ashamed of these ideas.

@acctsys I like Ancaps just fine, but everyone seems to think that's what every libertarian believes which is just so wrong. They're the extreme just like every political leaning has. Them and the crazy open borders no laws ones are what everyone thinks of. Most of us do believe that some amount of government and laws are necessary.

@aliendroneservices6621 So libertarians are secret socialists? Nope. Large government is bad and socialism requires an extremely large government and even more taxes. Taxation is theft.
1
Libertarians view private property as the most important right. Your person is included in private property. They also believe in the non agression principle. Which is no physical harm unless you physically harm my private property. All rights stem from that. Basically you can do whatever you want on your private property as long as it doesn't harm others. Contrary to what some will say, that doesn't extend to public property. Each community should be able to set the standards they want in public. Which is where freedom to associate comes in. Since you're free to associate with who you want, this creates communities of like minded individuals that will agree more readily on what's allowed in public limiting friction.

Can we stop having this discussion over and over please? Women are encouraged, even looked down on, if they don't breastfeed. Not everyone can due to health issues, don't produce enough, etc. It's pushed by OBGYNs, hospitals, etc. There's no woman that has a baby or that's pregnant that isn't aware of the benefits of breastfeeding. Nobody needs to be educated on it, told about it, etc.

@thinkbetter5286 Oh no! We've only got 1000 years to figure it out before the Earth reaches its normal temperature after an ice age. The horror! The Earth is always 10 degrees higher after an ice age than it warmed up to after the last one. We're living in an anomaly that people like you think we can control to force the Earth to stay how we want it because it's what we know. The Earth doesn't usually have ice caps all year round. We're advanced enough that we'll survive just fine. It's typical for animals and plants to die off and new ones form. So you're also trying to stop evolution? It's all insane. I strongly suggest you look at geologists rather than people who's job and research funding requires them to make frightening predictions. Only 1% or less of scientists believe the extreme predictions being pushed by governments.

@babajaiy8246 So since the value of money decreases due to inflation I should accept in return less value than what I gave? Then why would I ever loan it? You’re coming from a complete misunderstanding of value. That’s also money that I could have made more money from meaning I’ve lost more value by having it no longer available to me which according to you I should just be thrilled to take a loss on for some reason. Believe it or not more people are willing to do something if they receive something in return. Banks and individuals aren’t charities. There are lots of those that will just give you money. Edit: That’s not even factoring in the risk you won’t ever pay it back which means I just lost a massive amount of my labor to you for nothing. I intentionally used labor since that’s the term people like you like to use instead of value.
1
@babajaiy8246 If you grew up during a time period you claim you’re over 80 years old. My mother passed away at 73 and had to work everyday of her adult life while married with children. Please tell that to all the married women that have worked as nurses, teachers, and secretaries for decades before the 70s. You’re looking to a time period that never existed for the majority of people. By the way, we were poor. I mean really poor and I stayed home most of our marriage of 26 years. It’s absolutely still possible but you’ve got to be willing to give up a lot of wants to do it. A lot of women figured it out during the lockdowns and haven’t returned to the workforce. It’s not the market that’s why that’s not the norm. It’s that people don’t want to because it requires giving up a lot of luxuries they don’t want to do without. Which as much as you don’t like it, is their choice to make.

Don't forget the government funds them because the fearmongering is useful to them.

Who are you to decide what the value is? It's always been decided by both parties. If you don't believe you are being paid fairly, you find another job. Nobody is holding anyone hostage, forcing them to perform labor. Without capital to start the business and pay the labor, there is no job for the workers. So no, capital is more important.

@juanmangasmochas1533 I think had they not used the WMD thing and instead went with the fact he was in violation of the agreement he signed to stop Desert Storm most people would have been behind it. His selling to Germany, France, and whoever the 3rd country was along with not providing records of destroying his weapons piles and denying inspections should have been enough if the UN had a backbone anymore. He'd thumbed his nose at the regulations he agreed to to prevent a war and faced zero consequences. It was no different than breaking a peace treaty. We dropped the ball by not completing what we started and pulling everything out far too early. We should have continued to rebuild the country and help nurture it on it's path to democracy.

To all the people in the comments trashing Bezos, he's technically a Gen X. We faced a horrible financial future as our jobs were shipped overseas. We had to figure out on our own how to make money in a totally new environment. That's why we head 50% of startups. We figured out to find something people will want. It's no different then Millennials becoming influencers and making money by creating content. I do the same thing, I make things that a niche market wants and I provide it to them. Just because I can't and don't want to do it on the scale he does, doesn't make us different so I guess off with my head too.

@DinoDino118 Geez you really know nothing. Vietnam is no longer socialist because it failed. What does an economic model have to do with a virus? You set the poverty line at the $2 mark. That's considered extreme poverty not just poverty. They aren't the same thing. So now you're moving the goalpost from less than $2 a day to less than $26,000 a year. That's a big difference. You just tossed almost all of China under the poverty line because their average income is less than $8,000 US a year. $2 is where the global index is set. So which are we going with? You don't get to keep changing the definition of things. I'll make it easy for you. When you can list the same number of countries that have failed under a capitalist economy as have failed under a socialist one, I'll take your argument seriously, if you can ever muster one rather than using shifting definitions and personal attacks. Edit to add: It appears you don't know the difference between an economic model and a government type. While there can be overlap between the two, they are separate. I'd suggest a bit more studying before you continue trying to inform others about things.

@srdjan455 What? Capitalism has been tried and has been very successful. It's lifted more people out of poverty than any other economic system. Socialism has pushed more people into poverty. Don't confuse corruption with the economic system. Corruption occurs in every type of economic model. By that standard all economic models are bad.

@deanwhite6741 Why do y'all always want to take things away from people? Land, money, ideas, etc. Capitalism requires private property. Private property isn't just land. It's everything including your person. Taking away property rights isn't capitalism so that can't create a more capitalist system. I'm fine with maybe lowering copyright time length, but that person did the work to create that intellectual property. They should benefit from their labor. If they want to share it freely, then that's up to them.

@yoshisaidit7250 The problem with your arguments for a single world government is you're forcing people to live how you think is right to live regardless of what they want. You claim individual freedom is important while simultaneously saying it's good to deny it to certain groups. There's a reason why over 90% of Afgans want to live under Muslim law, but you'd deny them that ability because it doesn't fit your ideals. Most of the world lives in a homogeneous country, not multi ethnic or multicultural. They want to protect those things which is their right as individuals and as a group. You'd deny them that because it doesn't fit in with your philosophy which is the opposite of the freedom you claim to support. Edit: You're entire argument is based on what's best and more convenient for you " no more having to show papers to travel" with zero regard to what's in the best interest of anyone outside your viewpoint yet claim to want to free people from tyranny as you'd impose it. You're idea of utopia is another person's idea of hell on Earth.
1
@killerratchet1973 So you think forcing people to associate with people they hate and want to physically harm will work out better? Lovely work environment that will create. Sorry, but everyone has the right to associate. If an employer doesn't want to hire someone they're free to do that. That's how we ended up with quotas and people in positions they're not able to handle because of forced association. So you choose to give up rights for a possibility of safety. According to Franklin then you don't deserve either.

It depends on where in Texas you live. Most of Texas is on it's own power grid. Remember the big winter storm a few years ago that saw Texas's grid fail?

Depending on where. Please tell me where it's illegal to purchase it. Where has the government made it illegal for someone to purchase said literature? A government and community can decide what's taught in schools using their money. That's what taxation with representation means. However, they can not ban the sell or consumption of literature or punish speech on the public square. Edit: Public schools and the teachers within them are an arm of the government. The government can not force ideology, beliefs, or political beliefs onto citizens. It's the government compelling speech. "Anti-racism" is just racism. It's just against the majority instead of the minority so no that's not allowed from the government according to the Civil Rights Act. Your keyword is "promoting" which is no.
1
No it shouldn't. Not by law. That's setting limits on speech.

While you pointed out the percentage that have later term abortions, you failed to point out the percentage that has them due to r@pe, incest, and life of the mother. That's an even smaller number than have them late term. So they are also using an argument that only effects a tiny portion. I believe it's around 0.5%. The issue with late term abortion isn't how often it happens, it's that it's legal and unrestricted. If life of the mother accounts for a tiny portion of a tiny portion, then they are being performed for other reasons if the percentage of them is that high. That's the issue. Democrats are pushing to have unrestricted abortion federally and that's why it's being discussed.

Right to associate is the Libertarian view. A community should decide for itself what it allows in public as well as far as behavior goes. Since you're free to associate that would create communities of like minded individuals anyway.

@ge2719 What's currently occurring on some, mostly Ivy league, campuses. A potential employer has every right to rescind a job offer for any reason anyway because they have the right to associate just like everyone else.

I don’t think it’s “fairness”. It’s pride. They don’t want to be seen as taking more to someone else. They don’t want to feel like they owe that person or are being looked at as less. Edit: If it was somehow completely anonymous or being viewed as coming from an organization or government rather than an individual, you’d see a completely different outcome. Mainly because it’s more about social pressure than really money.

Other things are essential so I'm not sure why you're connecting the word to only people. This is the first time I've seen it connected to people. It was always only applied to services or needs. Water is essential for life, air is essential, etc.

@blank.9301 That's rough. It's also completely out of your control. Having roommates would lower the individual costs. It's not ideal, but life never is and accepting that makes everything much easier. Me, my husband, and youngest son moved 6 hours away from where I'd lived 90% of my life. It's a better paying job with way better benefits and a real retirement. My oldest and his gf were going to live in my house back there for 2 years to save money to move and buy a house here or rent. We downsized our house from 2,300 square feet of living space to 1,400 square feet. The 3rd bedroom is tiny and was my sewing room. My oldest lasted 6 months before they moved here with all their animals. So now my much smaller house has 5 people, 3 dogs, and 4 cats. It went from being peaceful to a madhouse overnight. I could complain about it and be upset that my life got turned upside down, or I can deal with it and make the best of it. I choose to make the best of it. That doesn't mean I don't get irritated when, just like at the other house, they leave their crap all over my kitchen table and take over my livingroom so I'm forced into my bedroom. It means I suck it up, ask them to put their crap away, and deal with it like an adult. I enjoy that both my sons are with me instead of being separated and instead of having time for hobbies I spend it playing with animals.

Correct. People don't understand it. They see a million dollar profit and don't realize most of that gets put into next years crop and to pay off loans to plant this year's crop.

It gets worse. They then take the most extreme models that only a tiny fraction believe will ever happen and use those along with that agree poll. Truthful scientists will say when pressed hard, that those models are only used by politicians and not by them.

No. It will push the cost of some goods up, but that's not what inflation is. Inflation measures how much value the dollar has lost due to the government flooding the economy with newly printed currency. Costs didn't really increase by 20%. 20% is how much value the currency lost making it require more to equal the previous amount.

That's not what they're saying. Did you think it would produce no emissions? Zero is the goal now, not just low.

Yes those millions of masks now in the ocean agrees with you. I liked how they talked about fish returning to an area was because climate change was miraculously less for a single year instead of that the noise drives fish away, but I guess fishermen don't know what they've said for hundreds of years. They'll tell you a single cool year doesn't disprove it while simultaneously claiming six months of less travel does. Edit: Since travel has been down since then and hasn't recovered to pre pandemic levels, why has "climate change" caused this hot summer? Why isn't stopping the war in Ukraine that's causing massive amounts of carbon to enter the atmosphere (far more than several years worth from the US and UK combined) the top priority at any cost?

I'm fine with some regulations in certain circumstances such as when it comes to certain goods like fresh meat and vegetables in grocery stores because the consumer has no way of knowing where or what farm it came from. The thing that needs to be gutted is the Commerce Clause. That's what they've used to expand their reach far beyond it's original intent.
1
@stevenscott2136 Because you could go to the farm growing your food. You were purchasing directly from the person that grew or made it. Large grocery stores is what caused a lot of these agencies to be created. It was to set a standard that the consumer could trust because that link between producer and customer was severed. I'm old enough to remember, and I'm not THAT old, when grocery stores were local and all the fresh food was grown close by. You couldn't buy fruits and vegetables out of season either. Now we import from Mexico and Canada out of season and your meat can be grown in those countries too. It was supposed to just set a standard so that no matter where it came from the consumer could trust it was of the same standard as they'd had from their local growers.

"Hate speech" isn't a thing in the US according to the Supreme Court. The government can't punish you for what you say. The exception is inciting violence, but it has to result in violence for a charge to stick.
1
The employer doesn't have complete control so not understanding the relevance of that question. They go to a hotel at night after work where they are free to do as they please. If you're referring to farms that include room and board, if you don't want that, don't work there. It's only for a couple of months as well so saying "complete control" is a bit exaggerated.

@Mr.Sweg Many of the Founding Fathers weren't poor and were well connected. Libertarians generally don't hate people because they are rich. That's kind of the goal isn't it? Franklin is a good example. He spent most his time drinking and chasing women.

@GoGo-cr4mo If you're talking about the current plan to increase public schools to 3 year olds, you are correct that it's useless. Studies show that it doesn't improve outcomes and any advantages gained are lost by 3rd grade. It was hard to understand because your writing skills aren't good.

@Br3ttM That's state or local. Federally it's still legal, for now. Those should be rules that the population can change if enough people want to. Start a petition and get it on the ballot.

@guillermocortes3783 Shouldn’t have doesn’t matter because we did. We honor our agreements or we won’t be trusted in any agreement including trade ones. This idea that new administrations can just ignore past agreements is unbelievably ignorant. Every country would constantly be redoing deals every couple of years and it would cause huge financial crisis constantly.

Again, hate speech doesn't exist. I already stated the pros of allowing bad ideas to be openly stated. It's so they can be defeated by good ideas.

You missed him saying people don't want to save their detergent bottles and go refill them at the store (reuse). We're also not running out of room and waste management is much better and safer. So safe landfills are being turned into parks and golf courses. It also said if the US was a football field the amount of waste generated over the next 1000 years would fit in one inch of the first yard line of it. There's no need to do any of it. We've just been programmed to.

"Management/compliance is oftentimes more expensive that (assume it's than) the actual tax that has been collected". Why does that matter? You're not the one that gets the tax so how much you personally pay to keep track of it is irrelevant to the amount of taxes your sells generated. You add the sales tax after the sale so it's not coming from your profits anyway. It's from the customer unless YOU aren't taxing them. If you have a business that provides products you've always been subject to adding sales tax. If you sell your items on a platform like Amazon, they do that for you. If you're doing it on your own website there are plenty of programs that figure it and keep track of it per state and add it at the time of sale. They are tax deductible as a business expense. If the program is too expensive for the number of sales you're doing than increase the prices or hope your sales improve. The same would be true if it was a brick and mortar store. The threshold to be required to collect sales taxes in most states is over $100,000 per state. Only 3 or 4 states is it below that and their threshold is $10,000. If you're needing to register and collect sales taxes in 12000+ locations, you're NOT a small business. If you're making those kinds of sales and can't afford the software to do it for you, you're bad at business. Edit: I did see things about affiliates and taxes but if you're an offical affiliate you're under contract which also requires that you're producing a large amount of sales or you're on a selling platform that figures all that for you as part of your registration fees.

There's no such thing as hate speech. The Supreme Court has ruled that many times.

Not Congress because they represent their constituents. You may not agree with those constituents but they should still have a voice. Otherwise it's just a dictatorship. There are already plenty of those you could go live under.
1
That's normal. It's because the state and surrounding areas get taxes and increased revenue into their economies from people coming to see the games. It's the same reason large manufacturing plants or businesses get huge incentives if they build in an area. More jobs equals more tax revenue and economic growth.

There's nothing about it being a private company mentioned in the video. The government didn't purchase the land, so it's still private property.

My son experienced something similar. His math professor failed all the male students that appeared huwhite. They ended up going to the Dean and getting their grades adjusted back.

That's not true. Government will always get bigger because all government cares about is control and power. It has nothing to do with how we behave. You seem very confused as to what the role of government is supposed to be. I don't ask the government for my rights. They exist despite what the government says.

Show me the valid study that says the electricity that an EV consumes that comes from a coal power plant is less emissions than from a 5 year old car. You're making a claim with zero evidence or any explanation on how you reached that conclusion. It's your opinion that that's the case. Edit: You also ignored this video is about 18-wheelers not individual cars.

@btsnake I'm well aware of that. It was stupid, but at least that made some sense. Just like in Arkansas you can't sell candy edibles because it's attractive to children. Kids see candy and would eat it if an adult isn't careful with it.
1
So babies born to mothers who can't breastfeed should just die? Wet nurses and high infant mortality was a thing for a reason. I couldn't because I had toximia and required medication. So my two sons should have just died, because either my milk would have poisoned them or they'd die of starvation. You're such a brave and great person.

I understand this type of law for construction companies, but not something like moving companies. The reason for it in construction is because fly by night companies will come in build a lot of houses or apartment buildings. Then when people buy them and they are really bad, the company has gone out of business and they have no recourse. The "builders" then make a new company in a new area and repeat the process. That smug SOB talking about a company upping the price when they get to the destination. That's why you have a contract. Then if they try that, you contact the police because that's extortion and illegal.

Local delivery sure. That's why cross country was mentioned. Just like EVs make sense for city living but not in rural areas the same is true for trucking. Other than weight and roads and bridges not being built to sustain that amount and price nothing was mentioned outside long haul trucking.

@ab-ul1yz Due to the lockdowns more people will die than would have from the virus. Add in the longterm health problems, mental problems, and financial problems we've just thrust onto the youngest of us in a vain attempt to save the oldest and least valuable to society, no it wasn't the right thing to do. If you're one of those that think one death is too many, then how can you justify the lockdowns which saw a huge increase in suicide, over dose, heart attack, and stroke deaths? Do those deaths, that were a direct result of the lockdowns, not fall under the one is too many rule or your how many is too many rule? Is now a single flu death one death too many? Then there's the fact poverty doubled as did the number of food insecure. Globally twice as many will starve to death this year because of them. How come they don't matter to you? How much death is enough so you feel safe?

@funveeable Depends on where and if the local Union elects a good Union President. Then again a small local Union President doesn't make very much because it's a voluntary position. Hubby got paid $250 a month and we never had a vacation that wasn't interrupted by Union business for a worker. Since they all knew him, they'd skip the chain of command and just call him. Even in the middle of the night. My father and grandfather were also Union presidents so I knew what was coming when he volunteered. He saved several jobs and got two good settlements for wrongful termination for them. My father was such a good negotiator he negotiated a plant manager out of a job one contract. He was a bad boss and treated the workers bad.

This is a wonderful program and is why I've always supported school choice. We need different schools to address and focus on different things to truly have a good education available to all, if that's the goal. Everyone has different strengths academically and many can learn better using different teaching methods instead of treating learning like you would a herd of cattle. Allowing students to advance at their own pace in different subjects, I believe, would produce far better outcomes than we see today. If a person is better at working with their hands, then schools should be available that cater to that at a younger age than after high school graduation. Forcing everyone to learn the same way, perform the same, and acting like they all have equal strengths doesn't help society in the longterm.

Because I can't carry 10 boxes to my car nor would they fit in my trunk. Them and paper bags also bring roaches into your home because they like to eat them and hide in them. This video also said the making of plastic bags causes half the emissions of other materials. You can ask for the boxes at the grocery store and they will give them to you for free if you want to use them to carry out your groceries in.

@megazero952 China is buying into our power grid right now thanks to the current administration. You're worried about them possibly being able to affect our power by building parts, when they already have that ability much more directly. You need to seriously research the mining and construction of our current "green" options before you continue to tout them as a real solution. Also the disposal of the batteries that have a relatively short lifespan. It's far more harmful to the environment then what we're using now and don't really cut emissions, because it costs more energy to make them then they create or they break even at best. We all saw what happened in Texas when green energy fails. More people died from that than 3 mile island or Fukushima. Chernobyl isn't a good example because of regulations, that's not possible today. Edit: The government doesn't construct our power plants. It's done by private companies so your arguments about that are moot.

I just moved to Oklahoma. The market here is bigger than Colorado and it's illegal for recreational use here. It's like Canada before they finally did it. Lax qualifying conditions, any doctor can give you script, and it's only $100 for the card for 2 years. They even allow out of state to get one. They have telemedicine doctors that only do medical cards.

Local government. Go to council meetings when you can. Get friends and family to write, call, and e-mail state representatives and senators. Too many people don't take the time to be involved and that's how this happens. They count on people like you not making the time to do anything about it.

It's funny how you think California feeds the entire country when they don't. They grow nuts, fruits, and rice mainly. I don't like nuts, my fruits are grown closer to my state, and my state grows more rice. The only thing in my grocery stores from California are clementines and almonds. Meanwhile you eat my state's chicken and if you drink Budweiser, you drink our rice. If California stopped growing things today, I wouldn't notice. As for working conditions, California has horrible working conditions in many of their industries, primarily Silicon Valley. Yet, I don't see y'all targeting major corruptions. Instead you try to justify the removal of someone's Constitutional rights who you claim is important to the entire country. Messed up logic there.

A booming economy affects wages more than a Union. Plus, that first part was rather childish and off topic. There's a big difference between a worker's Union, which you were fully aware this video is about, and the creation of the country. Since you started with that, so will I as it appears you don't know history. The colonies did not " unite" in the way you are describing. The representatives from each colony were selected by individuals already unhappy with England. That was not the majority of the population so they were not elected, but appointed. Secondly, the states viewed themselves as seperate until after the Civil War. After that, language was intentionally adopted to make the states feel invested in each other. That was when using "we" when talking about the US as a whole came into practice. Now that I've corrected how you're incorrectly using the word "Union" when it comes to this country's history, I'll address the rest. Most Unions aren't as effective as some seem to believe. The refinery my husband works at recently blew up injuring 6 people, with 5 literally catching fire. One is still in ICU fighting for his life. It's Unionized, yet they were unable to improve safety issues that were well known. So this idea that Unions improve all this stuff is complete BS. As for wages, they still make less than the industry standard, so again BS. The only thing positive the Union has done is allowed a couple of guys that were being discriminated against, sue the company. When the economy was booming before the virus, wages were increasing, benefits were expanding, and conditions were improving. That was due to competition for workers because the unemployment rate was so low. That did more to benefit workers than any Union has in decades.

No. It was October 17, 1979. That's when it became an independent department and got a department head. Before that, states were in control of their education systems. The previous incarnation of it was only to collect information and give advice. Now it has force behind it and controls funding.

After he showed that clip of Trump, he said everyone likes a strong leader. The US usually has a strong leader, but that doesn't make it a dictatorship. Obama said only he could bring the hope and change so desperately needed in America and Trump said only he can fix it. It's a knock against the people that put their faith in only one person to do the work.

@myaatheist2744 First of all it's God Emperor Trump. Secondly, he's not a politician. Most of his life he's spent making fun of them and messing with them. Just look up him and the Mayor of NYC in the 90s. He's never threatened anyone in the US except the power of the media and the political establishment. He was acknowledging the far left that are rioting because they want to throw out the Constitution and create a communist state. They have publicly said they prefer Biden because he will be easier to overthrow. Why would I vote for the person they want? Then again I get the feeling your tinfoil hat has slipped. Cubans, Venezuelans, and former USSR citizens are warning about these people, are scared, and are voting Trump. I'll listen to them long before I listen to you.

How? Freedom of speech and expression is protected under the Constitution. That includes government funded schools. It's against the law to be silenced or punished by the government for your speech. Maybe understand what's in the Constitution instead of looking like an idiot. The Constitution has nothing to do with opinions. You can loudly proclaim your hatred of someone's speech. The government can't punish you or them for it.

@drakes4625 It changes the cells in your body to make them not be able to allow the virus into them. It's not like a normal vaccine that causes your immune system to recognize it and fight it. This has never been done in humans before and 100 scientists familiar with how this works have come out against them as dangerous with horrible long term problems. We're already seeing some of them in the UK where it's been given as well as other of these vaccines developed in other countries including Bell's palsy and severe allergic reactions and they aren't allergic to the same thing. The Australian one had to be stopped because it caused people to test HIV positive, the Russian one you can't drink alcohol for a couple of months after because of how your body will react after being given it, and many are seeing the immune system wiped out from it. The deaths during the studies are being glossed over by saying it can't be proven they had anything to do with the vaccine. I believe this one had 4 or 5 deaths out of the 30,000 tested. Put it in you if you choose, but I'm not doing it even if they try to force it. I've already had it so I shouldn't need one according to studies.

@James-cb7nb What about geology? The people that actually study the history of the planet. The global temperature is usually 70 yet for some reason coming out of the last ice age, the Earth got stuck at 60. The plates have shifted which has changed the flow of the ocean which has been the biggest factor in the oceans warming which also is contributing to the rising CO2 levels. There are many times in Earth's past that CO2 levels were the same and much higher and increased rapidly, but we don't know why. The most stable time in the Earth's history was during the dinosaurs when the ice caps were gone or tiny and the world was tropical. As for the idea we've got to do something NOW, even at the extreme rate of 1 inch per year, it will take 2000+ years for the ice caps to melt and the oceans rise the 200 feet they predict. The places being affected now, like Miami, should never have been settled because it's supposed to be Everglades all the way to Orlando. Even once the ice caps are gone, which large ones aren't normal in Earth's past, Florida won't be underwater. Mostly it will affect islands, which will disappear eventually anyway because erosion is a thing, and areas currently below sea level. Basically we're trying to force the Earth to remain in a state that's not normal for it because we're somehow superior and still, contrary to all the evidence, think we can control everything. The majority of this warming is just the Earth trying to finish coming out of the last ice age. By the way, it's also not unusual for the Earth's temperature to swing quickly either way by 10 degrees. It's been as high as 80 and life flourished. We know that because alligator fossils have been found within the arctic circle. You can attempt to argue that glaciers are older than the last ice age so obviously there were polar ice caps. The problem is the oldest ones were found buried below the level the sun warms the surface which actually supports them not being normal or the surface ones would be much older. Are humans contributing with CO2 emissions? Probably, but it's also much more complicated than just CO2 and also involves water vapor which has increased. They tend to go hand in hand, and that's mostly caused by the warming oceans which I already explained.

I understand the emotion behind the prop. What I don't understand is the high amount. Who needs $950 in food to eat? They claim it's for the homeless to be able to feed themselves, but they don't have a refrigerator or a place to keep $ 950 worth of groceries. They lose me when they make it acceptable to violate someone else's rights just because they have more than you.

@@amandzzz You're bringing up laws that a Libertarian wouldn't agree with being in place in the first place. They believe in freedom to associate in all areas including the workplace. Also that depends on the state. Most are at will employment which means you can be let go at any point with no explanation. I saw someone fired because they didn't knock before entering the boss's office. Edit: You can also be fired for "free speech". There's no such thing on private property. Free speech means the government can't punish you for what you say. That's been upheld by the Supreme Court. What you say away from your place of employment is a different can of worms, but Libertarian wise still would go back to freedom of association.

@MadebyKourmoulis I'm not "forced against my will". I can create, and have, a small home based business that's not subjected to all this regulation. It's not my fault you don't know how to grow your own food, hunt, or trap to provide for yourself. YOU want the luxuries that require you to spend money on them because they belong to someone else. No one is forcing you to buy them or use them. Nobody owes you their resources or their labor.

"Pardon hack" what? He's saying sorry or pardoning someone's sentence? Partisan I believe is what you're looking for. He's done several videos on EVs with the claims vs reality as well as green energy and climate. I'm sorry saying our electric grid can't support these forced initiatives is offensive to you. Edit: Also if EVs were better for the majority of people they'd have more than 1% of the market. If something is an improvement it doesn't have to be forced. People switch to it on their own.

I've seen them report use of them is up in the US, but more as away to say financially things aren't good and to increase donations because they are running low. Then again, the politicans know better than to try to push increase in welfare when the population is hurting because that's a good way to lose an election.
1
No, but they sent donations for victims of Katrina all over the world instead of where it was supposed to. The Red Cross globally fills a need. It’s pretty much useless in natural disasters in 1st world countries. They come in and take over from local organizations and refuse material donations that don’t come from pre approved suppliers.

@generalyellor8188 There's no envy in the ops comment. Stop projecting.

Say you didn't watch the video without saying you didn't watch the video. European imports are banned and the very limited amount that is allowed has a nearly 18% tariff attached. Shockingly not everyone has access to a Whole Foods or can afford that cost. So you're saying shut up and let your kids starve if you don't live in a city and aren't upper middle class.

Absolutely. It's even worse right now because this administration has tied the results to the funding. It's in the public policy that if the research isn't going in the direction of the result they want, they'll pull funding. It's one thing to understand that pressure is underlying, it's something else entirely when they put it on paper.

@bellaavgusta2258 If Nazis bother you so much why are supporting Russia which has half the entire world’s population of them and work within the government? Russians don’t even prosecute mass murders committed by them until the last couple of years and even then it’s very selective. Some groups are singled out as bad while others are protected. It depends on if they are tied into or support someone Putin trusts. Do you using that as a reason to support Russia over Ukraine just shows you are clueless. Poland still celebrates the German invasion because they viewed that as preferential to Russia. You don’t understand anything about that area at all.

One time the sorting machine messed up and ate everyone's water bill. They put a notice in the paper about and delivered any tiny portion of the bill they could find.

Why do you think they are stupid? He pays them double minimum wage and they aren't complaining.

"That's what college is all about" except he's not talking about college students, he's talking about Jr high and high school students. That's where honor programs are centered. It's funny that we've just recently acknowledged that high IQ is a learning disability because just like low IQ they don't learn the same way as most do. So now people like him want to further handicap them by ignoring them. We didn't just go through the Ebonics period either which was rejected by most unlike his claims that it was accepted. We also went through allowing papers to be done in text speech which also failed. People like him don't take into account that we're preparing students to possibly be in roles where they'll deal with people from other countries. Be that research or IT. So other people need to be able to understand them or the world will be back to what's described by the Tower of Babble story. Then again part of the strategy of Communist Russia was to mix up the population to destroy being able to trust your neighbors to prevent a revolt. I guess destroying the ability to communicate would serve the same function.

Walmart tried that and was successful for awhile, but untimely small businesses came back. It's because they can't carry everything someone could want. Sewing is a good example. When they first came to my town, they offered a large selection because we had a Hancock's fabric store. Walmart was cheaper and eventually Hancock's folded globally. As soon as that happened, they stopped carrying it, so two small businesses opened up to fill the void. Walmart here didn't see them as a threat and didn't offer sewing supplies until COVID. Basically businesses like that can only hold off larger businesses. They have limited space so can't constantly crush the little guy.

It's scary because they've been pushing this narrative for years. Every 20 years is the prediction and there's been little difference.

No. That's worse. The government doesn't produce anything. The money they have comes from tax dollars. So the only way to do that is for the government to control the means of production. That's called Communism and it's very bad.

You're confusing extreme poverty and the poverty line in the US. The US only has a tiny portion of the population that lives in what's considered extreme poverty and those are mostly people who choose to live off grid. Extreme poverty is what is tracked by the UN and other organizations. The US poverty level is based on cost of living which fluctuates from place to place. In New York City, for example, $21,000 a year (the poverty line) isn't going to go far. Where I live, it's definitely liveable and you'll only lack luxury items like clothes bought from a nice department store or only 1 TV instead of 3. As for China haven "beaten" poverty, they are no where near the GDP per capita that the US is. Their average income in US dollars is below what we consider the poverty line here. That translates to the "poor" in the US has more than the average citizen of China.

8.1% of the workforce is in manufacturing today. 32% of the workforce was manufacturing in 1960. “Most manufacturing jobs ever!” Is a lie. On straight numbers maybe, but it’s a lie by statistics. Shame on you. Very disappointed to see you of all people employ such manipulative tactics. Edit: I knew it was when later you say it’s natural with innovation and increases wealth for these jobs to go away. You literally did “it’s not happening” and “it’s a good thing” meme.

They didn't shutdown by choice. They were shutdown, passed inspection within a week, and kept closed by the FDA for over a month. With the government being told by the CEOs what that would cause. Biden just admitted they told him that and he didn't think it would happen. So the government knew this was going to happen a long time ago and did nothing to offset the incoming problem. In fact, created a bigger problem by seizing formula and destroying it by customs. You can be upset at lobbying, but even that's still at the feet of the government for allowing political donations to drive regulations.

It's a new law. Nice long speech though.

A poll found that 51% of women want to be stay at home mothers and wives. That's not what was expected. The lockdowns showed women how nice that is despite the messaging being shoved down our throat. I've regularly come under attack online because I chose to be a SHM. I've been told I offer nothing to society, that I'm worthless. etc.

Thank you for bringing attention to his series. It's something a lot of people need to hear right now.

Those book are being removed from, I know, school libraries. They're put on back shelves and eventually removed due to lack of use. Anything old written by huwhite men in particular are considered bad. They're labeled racist and misogynist. Edit: Just look at what they're doing to LOTR at Amazon. They believe Tolkien's work needs to "fixed".

They can speak and I hope they continue to do so so we can see who they are. Potential future employers can certainly refuse them a job too because they'd most likely cause problems within the workplace.

Oh yes. It's our fault we're in a recession. We are saving instead of spending. Just ignore that the "savings" are 401ks and retirement funds we'd already been putting the same amount into so we can afford to eventually exit the employment market. We don't need that. Spend it because the government screwed up the economy and it's your fault.

@leperabbot3343 How exactly are we going to go extinct? We have far more technology and advanced tools and knowledge on how to create things to stop water from coming onto the land and eroding it, to grow food with little to no sun or dirt, to build below ground where it's cooler, how to warm large areas, etc. How is it even possible outside of widespread nuclear war or the expansion of the sun as it dies? Even if the events occurred that wiped out the dinosaurs, we could survive it. Edit: Just like the people that freak out when told so many species went extinct recently, but ignore how many new species are discovered. More are discovered than are lost.

No where does this say they are illegal. That's a violation of federal law and would result in massive fines. He wouldn't have filed the lawsuit if what you're claiming is true.

Yes, because no one but people in California can read laws or court cases. 🙄
