@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.

Maybe that's why I've always been populist. My grandfather was my idol. Born in 1912, was a farmer and later a Union leader at the oil refinery, led a strike at said oil refinery, was absolutely what one would think of as an upstanding Christian. He was quiet and reserved. He'd take the shirt off his back if someone else needed it, and did. He'd walk to work in the ice if the roads were too bad to drive to make sure the guy he was supposed to relieve at work got off on time. He prioritized family above everything. One time during contract negotiations he asked the OWNER to step outside to settle it, which means he was challenging a fist fight. It was so against his nature to do something like that, the owner immediately apologized and backed down. He'd made a comment about the workers that was particularly insulting and my grandfather wasn't having it. You can imagine the impact that had coming from a 6'7 man that nobody had ever even heard raise his voice. He never trusted the government. He taught us survival skills and how to grow pretty much anything because we still farmed. It was all about being self sufficient. Hunting, farming, fishing, he made sure we all had those skills. He even built the only house they ever owned by himself. Including all the electrical, plumbing, cabinets. Things he'd never done, but taught himself how to so he didn't need to rely on anyone else. I think if everyone had someone like him in their lives, we'd be in a much different and better place right now. Oh yeah, and everything bought HAD to be American made. It didn't matter if it's more expensive. You support your fellow citizen's first.

@nerofl89 He doesn't know the evidence behind it so how can any of them make that call? I like him, he's fine for explaining procedures and what stuff means. He was indeed wrong about Vic's case. Ya'll can spin how you want, but according to Rackets, it was a clear cut case, easy even. An excellent case for defamation. It wasn't or it would have gotten through. His record on cases just looking at the filing with zero evidence isn't very good. Then he'll blame the judge, the jury, the prosecutor, the defense lawyer, when he's wrong, but he's never just wrong. If he really was such a great lawyer (hell most of them), they'd still be doing cases. There's a reason a few don't practice anymore.
Edit: I've been a member of his channel. He's funny and entertaining, but he's not a great lawyer. That's fine, most aren't. Obama wasn't either and he became President. Some are better at teaching the basics. That's why on the deep stuff in law school, they have practicing lawyers teach that have had and won several cases on the topic.

@EekChocolate Everything you're saying is completely false. Gen X, my generation, created a new economy because we had to to survive. Those jobs being shipped out are why 90% of what you're complaining about happened. Because there were no more good paying manufacturing jobs that don't require a lot of skill disappeared, that resulted in higher skills being needed. That caused the push for college and the government to step in to attempt to guarantee its availability to those no longer earning from the lost manufacturing which drove the price up. College became so common that businesses now use it to gauge employment readiness which drove the demand even higher.
If you watched the video, you'd know wages are usually pretty stagnant, but because of when you grew up you're used to them growing rapidly. They have grown extremely rapidly to be clear. When I was a teenager the minimum wage was $3.20. Now it's over $10 to start in most places and $15-$20 in many areas. That's in less than 30 years. That's massive growth. As it increases so do prices to go along with it. I currently live in a fairly small town in a sparsely populated state and it's $13+ to flip a burger. That's a $5+ hour increase in less than 5 years. That's not stagnate. The wage increase combined with the shortages caused by getting too much stuff from overseas has caused prices to rise and products to shrink. That's not Reagan economics, that's just plain supply and demand. So again, not manufacturing here has caused an increase in prices that wouldn't have occurred.
The other major issue no longer making things here has caused is a lack of invention and progress technologically. Competition isn't nearly as fierce to create new things so it's become stagnant. That's where the real stagnation has occurred. You went on a tirade about cars. There were always other big car manufacturers around the world. Tariffs added costs to them, making the ones made in the US cheaper and it drove car manufacturers to constantly be improving their cars in looks and quality to appeal to more people. Seeing cars made outside the US was uncommon and limited to the more wealthy before. You can see it across all product markets. It's no longer about improving how well something works or how long it lasts, but just adding little gadgets onto it to increase the cost. Let's look at washing machines. There's been no real big improvements to their functionality in decades. They've simply added some technology into them, but their core functions haven't improved at all. Simply because I can start it with my phone, somehow makes it worth thousands of dollars when the much cheaper one does the exact same core function just as well. Our society now puts massive value on gadgets rather than actual functionality and quality which is a direct result of the Boomers driving the economy into a consumer one. My generation simply responded to what Boomers wanted in order to survive, but it was never what we wanted. That's why the middle class is now collapsing. It was never sustainable, but making things is. If you think it isn't then explain China's massive economic rise since we've shipped most of the manufacturing of our ideas over there.

@victordike8467 As others have said, Bucky was Captain America. He was the first one the mantle was passed to in the comics. Because it made logical sense and still does. I don't even read comics, but remember that because it was such a huge deal. That a chick that doesn't even read comics knew that, and you don't must be such an embarrassment. Unlike the Green Latern, whose powers come from the ring and get passed around, when a major superhero passed on the mantle for the first time, it was a big deal. That they'd hinted in previous Captain America movies it would be passed to Bucky, and then went straight to Falcon, screams ESG and "diversity." You claiming Bucky "came out of nowhere" when he's been in every Captain America movie as well as a couple of Avengers ones also screams you don't know wtf you're talking about. According to comics, it should be Bucky. According to previous Captain America films, it should be Bucky. It should be Bucky. That I'd go see. Good day, sir!

@TheHigherVoltage The no taxes things on Churches is pretty lame because EVERY nonprofit has those benefits. Churches ARE nonprofit and spend the bulk of donations on charity inside the communities they're in. They save the government money by taking away some of the burden and that's why nonprofits (religious or non religious) aren't taxed. Churches have accounts at grocery stores for those in need to Oh buy the groceries they need to live, they have accounts with every utility company to help pay for families in need, they run shelters, food banks, and kitchens. Define poverty? My red state was considered "poor" but we lived better than people in New York making 3 times as much because the cost of living is much lower. When you look at a rate based on national averages rather than areas, the much higher areas (due to the wealth gap) push the average much higher. I owned a 4 bedroom 3 bath 2300 sq home on 3/4 of an acre for $120,000 because the cost of living was so low. Even when were below the "poverty" line and on food stamps I was able to purchase my own home. We had everything including internet that we were able to pay for fine and our own cellphones and cell service we paid for. That was a family of 4 below the poverty line in one of those "impoverished" red states you're talking about. The average income is $45,000 and the average home price is $100,00. Now look at New York. The average income isn't much higher, but the average cost of a home is astronomical. New York is "rich", but who's living easier and has more?
Edit: Also most of those states are agricultural heavy. The government sets the price range of most crops to keep prices down. If farmers were allowed to charge whatever, they wouldn't be poor. Don't try to pull "but California" either. California's farming industry is 1% of the state's economy. Most of those states it's the largest portion of their economy. We can always develop the land and the people in the rich cities can starve.

@fallonclouatre7934 Finland is expanding it's nuclear plants to generate 60% of it's power needs, the opposite of every other country in the West. It's banned in the US. Finland doesn't have oil, natural gas, or coal available as a natural resource so it's always had to import it and will continue to do so for the remainder of its power needs. Meaning more oil is used to ship it in making what it does use a far larger impact than a country like the US that has all 3 readily available. Oil is used in millions of products you use everyday so this idea that anyone will be oil free is laughable unless you want to live like a pioneer. There are already brown outs and black outs because there's not enough energy to supply all the new electric everything required in a few cities. Without nuclear, how do you think all nearly 200 million using an electric car will work exactly without destroying every forest and turning it into a solar panel field or cutting down all the trees so they don't block the wind for the windmills (both of which use oil to make or operate)? No pipe dream technology that might happen either, using only the technology available right now. Those energy sources aren't as reliable either meaning more brown and blackouts than just the ones in residential areas because the businesses need the energy and they take priority. How many people will die when there's not enough to cool or heat them, especially since many places are also banning wood burning fireplaces? I have solar panels that I purchased brand new. They don't produce the exact same amount of energy day to day which means as a means of producing mass amounts it's much less reliable than what we currently use. Look what happened in Texas because the windmills froze and imagine that across the entire grid. It didn't just happen in Texas either. Several states lost their green energy sources because they froze causing 13 states to institute rolling blackouts in an attempt to keep people from freezing to death. That was without the entire population of them using electric cars, stoves, heaters, water heaters, etc. It would have been catastrophic if that was the case.

@lucycarlisle9120 Why would a child raised at home have those problems? You take them to the park where other kids are. They hang out with other kids in the neighborhood. I hate to tell you, but little boys have more energy, so no matter what, they're going to have a hard time sitting still for hours at a time. Children only learn in 15 minute increments. Which is why lessons should be tailored for 15 minutes, then a break doing something fun, then 15 more minutes. That's the teacher's job to work their lesson plans like that. If a teacher fails to provide a correct lesson plan that factors in young children's issues, I fail to see how that's a reflection on me as a parent. I hate to tell you, but children raised with a stay at home parent, have way better outcomes than those that don't. So that whole pros and cons business is just cope.
Edit: The whole sharing and social cues, is why you have more than 1. Siblings figure it our because they have to. It's very unusual for a family that has a stay at home parent to only have one child. How did children behave for decades in school before daycare existed if what you're claiming is true? Also, yes, I AM better than a lot of people. Never been arrested, so that automatically makes me better than a lot of people. This idea nobody is better than anybody else is pure insanity. It's not a bad thing to be a better person and saying it is just means you drag everybody down to the lowest level.

That ain't nothing. This will be my 3rd big recession and several little ones. Oil shortages twice, Iran hostages, massive inflation in the 70s and 80s, bombing by far left groups, a hard reset of the economy, Dotcom bubble, Y2K, embassy bombings, 9/11, 2008 crash, etc. In other words, what you seem to think is unique, isn't. Every generation has been through similar and even worse, and those still alive are continuing to go through it.

Poorer women have always worked outside the home. They were teachers, nurses, secretaries, bank tellers, and worked in factories. Even housewives sold or traded goods they'd make. Baking and decorating cakes, canned goods, clothing they made, quilts, etc. Studies show the majority of women want to stay at home and raise families. That's why many didn't re-enter the workforce following the lockdowns. They figured out you can do it, it just takes budgeting and doing without every new gadget. Democrats and some Republicans openly chastised them for not going back to work. I know what his fear is, and knowing that little fact tells me it's pretty unfounded. The US also has been through extremely similar situations repeatedly and that did not happen.

@LucasFernandez-fk8se The problem is the word "fair". Life isn't fair. So choosing that word, because it's pretty much interchangeable with equity, causes problems. What you're describing is equality. Real equality. Each person is based on their strengths and weaknesses regardless of sex, race, etc. Unfortunately because young women have been pushed into this by those in authority positions, they don't understand what equality is. They don't want equality, they want fairness which would be equal representation regardless of ability. They want rewarded for effort, not results.
Edit: To clarify even more, when a child puts forth maximum effort to get something and still don't succeed, they say it's not fair. That's because they did what they were told would produce the desired result when it didn't because someone else was better and got the reward. Fairness is everyone that put forth effort getting rewarded. The trophy for all is fairness. What we want is meritocracy. The best person for the position regardless of sex, race, etc.

Having come from a smaller town with a slim majority of black people, I'd say it's pretty accurate. Even going by discussions I've had with a large group on a YouTube video it rings true. Unlike Scott, I don't believe it's justified in the slightest unless that number was coming from the elderly who did live through some it. It's interesting how groups that were treated similarly and even worse view huwhit people vs how they view them. They may not trust huwhite people, but they don't actively hate them or think there's anything wrong with being born that way. The government is the target of their anger. The opposite is true of black people. They beg the government to take care of them and blame the individual for the government's actions.
Edit: I do believe it stems from how it's discussed in school. For Natives the government forced them to move, the government paid for our scalps, the government broke treaties and stole land, the government forced our kids into boarding schools, etc. For the other group it's taught individuals owned slaves, individuals didn't want it to end, individuals lynched, individuals killed, etc.

@BarefootInAK Butter not oil. Oil creates a completely different flavor. It's double the flour to fat ratio. It depends on the dish as to how dark or light you make. Cajun is going to be coffee colored and that takes awhile, Creole it should be caramel colored, and milk/white gravy the flour should cook no more than 3 minutes just to cook out the flour taste. It's better if you use seasoned flour too. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. You can add some red pepper as well if you want it hotter.
Edit: Cast iron works best for browning too. I suggest watching some old Justin Wilson shows. He's a hoot, but his recipes are good. If you're making giblet gravy for Thanksgiving, the roux should be coffee colored. I brown the flour before I add it to the fat for that and it should be almost burnt, but that's because I start prepping stuff 3 days before. I highly recommend that gravy. The ingredients sound disgusting, but it's amazing.

When we bought this house, they'd been renovating it. The master bath was gutted, the roof over the patio was rotting, the yard was a mess, the inground pool was nasty, etc. They were asking $220,000. We knew better and offered $180,000. We settled at $185,000. That's what the assessment came back at. It's now worth $240,000 bases only on the improve we've made that cost maybe $15,000.
Edit: My husband is an actual handyman, so we were able to buy higher end finishes since there was no contract labor costs.

The best the Fellowship (it's what the fandom is called) can figure out, it's Finrod. Angered and Aegnor died fighting Morgoth. Finrod is the only one associated with Sauron and Middle Earth. His kingdom was in the mountains, instead of the Woodlands like most Elves. He was close to the Easterling where Sauron was creating his armies. Because he was in the mountains, they were near Dwarves. The Dwarves saved his life do he owed them a life debt. Him and some companions magically disguised themselves as orcs and infiltrated Sauron's forces. Sauron showed up and could see through the disguises. Finrod almost defeated Sauron right then, but got injured by a werewolf. He defeated the werewolf, but succumbed to his injuries. Thus he had fulfilled his life debt because he died protecting the Dwarves. So there was no "mission" for her to complete. It also looks like that's not at all how he's going to die, which is a lot of people's favorite story. The snow scene is the Elves that were banished to Middle Earth for taking part in the Kinslaying. She certainly didn't lead the crossing as all families involved were removed so it would be hundreds if not thousands. Certainly not that small number shown. Given that that was what remained of her family members crossing or members that followed her family during the Kinslaying, it makes her demanding anyone be left behind particularly disgusting on her part. The Eminem character, is supposed to be a group of fanatic Elves, which given the nature of Elves is ridiculous. None of that is getting into her having a relationship with Sauron even though in the books he avoided her, Elrod, and Gil-Galad because they had strong foresight and could see through his disguises. Which makes her line about whatever you've done leave it because she would know what they had done, what they were thinking, and likely what they were going to do in the future. You just have to watch the movies to understand that part. That's why she gave them the gifts she did. She knew they'd need them later. So they didn't just not read the books, they didn't even watch the movies.

@reek4062 Yes, stuff was changed which was discussed and debated within the fandom at the time. The majority decided that despite the changes, it was the best representation of Tolkien's work that likely will ever be made. Jackson addressed and explained most of the changes that were made with the fandom at the time. Him, staff, and Sir Ian Mckellen all communicated with us via message boards and blogs during production and after release. The books say Faramir interrogates Gollum rather than kill him for fishing in the Frobidden Pool (entrance to Henneth Annun). It's not unreasonable to assume an interrogation would involve some pressure. That's not "abuse" especially since he should be killed as his proper punishment. Faramir may have been wise and kind, but it didn't mean he didn't perform his duty. The Mouth of Sauron scene is only in the extended editions so if they don't have those, that is unknown to them and only a part cut for time (which it was). Frodo sending Sam away (not Sam leaving Frodo) was highly contested along with removing Tom, and not doing the Scouring of the Shire. The last two were removed for times sake and Frodo sending Sam away didn't change what ultimately occurred as a result of entering Cirith Ungol. These are things, that though debated within the fandom, doesn't take away someone's fan card nor does it call for degrading other fans who love the movies simply because someone else disagrees. That's not how this fandom works because just reading and understanding Tolkien's work requires an intelligence that behaving that way, is frankly, beneath us.

@kh8655 There are a few studies saying production is down and it's pretty easy to explain why that happens when working remotely vs in the office. If you're in the office and you finish what you're working on, you can immediately be assigned to something new. That's not an option remotely. That work exists in both situations it just gets started earlier in one than the other. Also when you're in the office with everyone else, it's much easier if you need something from someone else. Instead of having to schedule, play phone tag, or hope they read your email soon. That's the entire reason big offices were done in the first place. This has changed a bit with Millennials, because there was a serious breakdown in face to face communication and they've always tended to rely on texts or email rather than just walk a few feet. So there was already a decrease in efficiency and productivity, but Gen Z is going back to more traditional interactions within the workplace.
Plus, you aren't the only person in the workplace and what's best for you personally might not suit everyone where you work, which also has to be taken into consideration by employers. Many people have too much going on inside the home to be able to dedicate time or find an area to be able to do that. That's why it's important to understand that only 25% or so want to remain working remotely. That 25% is demanding everyone else accommodate them. I'm fine with them looking for a new job that better suits what they now want, but also agree with JJ. Until you do, do your job how you agreed to.

Seeing as you grew up around Hollywood I can see that being your perspective. The film industry isn't a good reflection of the how it is in the rest of the world. It's an extremely isolated bubble. So it is wrong to judge everywhere under the false assumption that it's like it is there. That's just not the case. I personally have had far more women try to control my decisions than men and I live in an area people like you would most likely consider backwards and misogynist without having actually lived there. Very red, very religious areas. I have been charged with being a drain on society and worthless as a woman because I chose a more traditional role. A role my mother didn't take. She worked in administration her entire life with computers and in IT departments while my father, who was less educated, worked in chemical plants. I didn't like not having a parent at home, so I chose the opposite. I have been attacked on line and in person by other women for my choices. So no, men aren't trying to control me. Women on the other hand will try to strip me of my womanhood for not bowing to their ideals. That's life outside your bubble. I'm not anomaly either. It's been going on for several years.
My family also dates back to Jamestown as an indentured servant (he was the 2nd son to a royal) and before because his great grandson married a Native. I don't know why you added that, because it doesn't make you special or more authoritative.
Edit: I am college educated and could practice child psychology. So I'm not a stupid hick or anything either. All the women in my family, going back to my grandmother who was born in 1918, are college graduates. While none of the men are
Edit 2: Correction. My great grandmother was a school teacher. I'm the first in 4 generations to choose to not work outside the home. All born and raised in the same red, religious, state. This was on top of running a small cattle ranch. Being told you can't work and everything else, never applied to poor and rural people which my family was.

@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.

If you say you aren't justifying it and then say "had no other choice", you've lied in the first part. He's a part of the WEF and good ole Klaus had mentioned how proud he is of him in several speeches. He doesn't hate globalism. He just wants to be the one in charge. In the speech to his troops before the invasion he praised Lenin and he's buddies with China so trying to claim he's against communism is complete BS. He also doesn't give a crap about Nazis. Russia is home to half the world's population of them. The former Russian PM sent Dmitry Demushkin and other neo Nazis into the separatists regions to fight Ukraine. Putin has only outlawed 5 groups of them in the last 2 years because he was pressured to due to their extreme violence. We're talking mass murderers. These groups even officially register to the government so they know who they are. Everything you just wrote is complete BS and inaccurate. It's propaganda plain and simple. You talk about centuries and don't give a single reference to what happened, only the USSR for a second which didn't exist for a century so your history isn't "centuries" in explanation.
Russia is still very much Communist in similar ways China is. Their major exports are nationalized and controlled by Putin or his oligarchs. Just like it was under the USSR. It may no longer formally be communist, but there's little difference outside the economy. The government is very much still exactly the same. As for Ukraine. It's made up of several different countries. Part Russia, Poland, Romania, etc. Part if Poland that Russia took with Germany ended up now part of Ukraine. When the USSR took an area it intentionally mixed up the population to create strife so they wouldn't trust each other. That's why Yugoslavia split into so many different countries that can't stand each other. Putin is using the intentional displacement of Russians during that time to take parts, or in this case all, of previous Soviet countries. He's stated that any country that contains people that speak Russian belongs to Russia. He's used these same excuses in all 5 or so invasions of neighboring sovereign countries. NATO "expansion" is a direct result of those invasions. Everytime he does this, former Soviet countries get nervous and some of them ask to join NATO. So he's conveniently complaining about a problem of his own creation which is typical government honestly. Add in that since it's existence Russian leaders are judged by how much they expand the empire and you'll just start to understand Putin and his motivations. He's old, he's not going to be in power much longer, and to take the largest ex Soviet country back into Russia would leave him with a nice legacy. The fact that you or anyone else tries to justify the slaughter of people that have every right to determine their own fate as a nation, is disgusting. That Russia should be allowed to bully it's neighbors to be a sacrificial lamb in case Russia gets invaded, is sickening (that's what a buffer state is). That against their will, they have to sacrifice their livelihoods, their rights, and even possibly their lives to protect a bigger country is fine to people sitting comfortably in their homes in the West far away, is beyond tone deaf. It's elitist and it's proof that the West has no principles or morals left.

@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.

@ultr0shot440 I'm an independent. As you've touched on, the Democratic party has gone off the deep end. That tends to happen whenever a party has power for too long. Unfortunately it tends to happen more rapidly for that party. I think it boils down to them needing such a large coalition to win it causes them to get pulled further and further to maintain it. It's funny that I see people claim the other party has moved far to the right because when you look at actual policy they've maintained their position and the Democratic party has moved much farther left. I'm old enough to remember the last time they did price controls. Carter did it to oil and gas. It was horrible. Long lines, rationing, etc. It was crazy. To even just suggest it on food is pure insanity. 44% on gains is bad too. It means I'll lose almost half my retirement when I cash out my 401k. Meaning I'm going to have to save almost twice as much and work longer. Pretty much the entire platform is crazy. Notice how I'm sticking to policy and not talking about personalities, likeability, anything to do with either candidate personally. The ONLY thing that should matter is policy. As for abortion, it went back to the states and the current platform is it remains there. The Supreme Court ruled Plan B can't be banned and condoms have been available for free since the late 80s or early 90s due to AIDS. I'm personally sick of all the fear mongering about every single issue. I'm also laughing at the party that opened the boarder and caused the problem are now suddenly running on fixing it. The party in power that claimed for almost 3 years they couldn't do anything about it suddenly cares and is going to fix it. I just can't.
Edit: As for Trump and his daughter, Biden did the same thing with Hunter when he was VP. Hunter would fly to China on the government's dime with his dad and make business deals. I'm supposed to care Trump did it and ignore Biden did the same. How about nobody should do it, but neither side has the ethical high ground on it. Plus, honestly, that's the least of my concerns at the moment because unlike everything I listed, it doesn't really effect me.

@mmeditatio Men didn't pick their spouse either. Arranged marriages were arranged by the parents of both, so I don't understand how that is only seen as bad for women. Plus arranged marriages only happened with the rich or nobility, not the majority of the population. The concept of romantic love is very new. You're wrong on so many things. My grandmother and her sisters all graduated college. None of the men in her family did. They all worked too and she inherited the property of her parents, which according to you didn't happen. She was born in 1918 btw. Florence Nightingale worked, Marie Curie was a scientist in the late 1800s, Cleopatra, Elizabeth I, Joan of Arc, it was Isabella that sent Columbus, the largest slave owner in Louisiana was a woman, and many many other women that were leaders and led armies which you claim wasn't possible because women weren't allowed outside their homes. None of what you stated is true on a large scale. Young boys were r@ped too and still are and men were enslaved just as much as women. Women are just as abusive to their spouses and children as men are as well. Women have owned and ran businesses for centuries too. I'm so sick of this false narrative that women were helpless, constantly abused and r@ped, and held back by men. Yes, women were from time to time throughout history treated poorly, but it was by no means the norm and wasn't all of history. Pretty much everything you described was mainly only well off families and wasn't the experience of the common man. Women worked beside their husbands in fields, shops, all nurses were women, and teachers. So how were they not allowed to work or leave the home, yet were the only or main ones in those occupations? This is the problem when you listen to propaganda and ignore facts.

The best movie to depict high school, at least in the 80s, was the Breakfast Club. Most groups just simply didn't interact with each other. You had the occasional dare or prank, but there wasn't out right hostility or removal because you dated the wrong person. You might hide it though out of embarrassment. Yes there were tables that certain peer groups occupied. We were allowed to eat in the courtyards too so certain areas were where certain groups would be. Mine was between the buildings and the Gym because no one ever came back there and we could hide smoking.
Edit: The groups were the preppie ones, the cool kids (heavy metal, druggies, wore mostly black), the nerds/weirdos (they socialized together), the gangs (bloods and crips), the jocks, and normies. The jocks and preps would hangout together and overlap.

@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.

@pinchebruha405 Did who have reasons for what? If you mean the Austrian with the funny mustache that ruled Germany, his "reasons" are explained by himself that you're free to read. As to "Palestinians" in that area, they were never supposed to be there. It belonged to Egypt and Israel gained it during the 6 day war. In 2005 the UN forced Israel to abandon it to create a buffer between them and the West Bank. "Palestinians" flooded the area and took it for themselves. That's why all the infrastructure is from Israel. They built it. Nobody forced them to move into it. It was their choice. It's Israel's right to defend itself and its citizens from attacks and maintain their safety. That's the single biggest reason governments exist. The government in that area makes it clear in their Charter, they exist solely to destroy Israel and eradicate all Jews and non Muslims. One is to protect its population, one is only to kill and destroy. If you don't know which is good or bad then that's your own moral failings.
Edit: Notice the non Muslim part. Since you say religion is the problem then you're an atheist. That means they want YOU eliminated too. Choose wisely. If you think appeasement works I'd suggest a look back into history because that tells us it never does. It only emboldens and causes the problem to continue to grow and expand.
Edit: Contrary to what you seem to believe, H didn't just eliminate Jews. He caused the death of at least 5 million others. They included blacks, Gypsies, gays, disabled, etc. He wasn't Christian either. He was agnostic maybe but like many leaders from that time, closer to an atheist. So you're "religion causes everything" claim is complete bs. Communism, which enforces atheism on the population, has killed far more in war and persecution than any religion ever did.

@oshitomaha First off I'm not a "bro" and how dare you assume my gender. I just looked him up. First sentence "an American Marxian economist". That's his publicity information so yes, he calls himself that. Socialism is the economic side to Communism. It's based on workers owning the means of production. The only way that is possible is to do away with personal property rights. The reason is the owners name is on the lease for the building, they buy the equipment needed to make product, etc. Thus the workers can not own the means of production as long as that is recognized as the property of the person that purchased it. Unless the workers invest equal amount into creating the business, they should not be treated as equal because they aren't equally at risk. If the business fails, it's not the workers that the banks will come after or suppliers. It's also my name and reputation associated with the product which is another level of risk that's added that a worker doesn't face. I guarantee you can't find thousands willing to take on the risks the creator does in order to have a decision in what's done with the profits. Democracy isn't something that's just handed out like candy. It's something that's always required sacrifice. To push that workers should have that decision making ability without taking any of the risk isn't remotely reasonable. We have Unions that negotiate contracts with employees. If employees really wanted some say, they would form one, yet Unions are down across the board. You can try to blame right to work states, but Unions are still alive and well in them. I know because I live in one and my family have all been Union members. That says the majority don't really want a say. I don't know why you threw in healthcare when that's totally off topic as we're discussing Marxism and how the economy works and why his vision of the economy wouldn't.
I love how you throw out "you capitalist" like it's some type of insult only to admit you are one and don't agree with him. Capitalism has existed since civilization was created. Even bartering is a form of capitalism. It's worked for thousands of years and socialism has failed everytime it's been tried. I also am aware of something you and him appear not to be. We don't have a capitalist economy, it's a mixed economy. So all his bashing of capitalism isn't even applicable.
Edit to add: A living wage is a very subjective term. What's a liveable wage where I am, is not a liveable wage in NYC. That's why it shouldn't be determined by the federal government. It's too large of a range. My son makes $14 an hour which is almost as much as a dual income family averages with his overtime and our cost of living reflects that. Businesses here should not be forced to pay what a living wage in New York or California would be. Currently our minimum wage is $11. We voted that in a few years ago. If we want it to be higher, we'll make a petition and have it added to the ballot. If people in other states want theirs to be higher, I suggest you do the work and do the same instead of waiting on someone to do it for you.

You're right. People who want to make informed decisions for themselves is just insanity. Everyone should just listen to the experts. The problem is which ones because they aren't in agreement? Should it be WHO and the UN which now say lockdowns should only be used to reallocate resources or governors who order lockdowns, but make exceptions for certain industries like Hollywood? If their decisions were based on science, there would be no exceptions. How is Walmart, where a ton of people go touching everything and is so crowded you can't social distance, safer than my mom and pop store that has fewer people go into it? There's nothing scientific that says that. Should I believe the pharmaceutical company that's making billions off of this vaccine or should I believe the 100 scientists, including a head UN scientist and the former head scientist of said pharmaceutical company, who say this type of vaccine is very dangerous? Should I believe the media who is telling me all these instances of reactions while also telling me it's fine, or should I listen to the UK who has added warnings and to an Illinois hospital who's suspended giving it out due to the number of severe reactions? I'm high risk and have already had the virus. So which science do I trust? The science that says I'm immune with a slight risk of getting it again and if I get again it won't be worse than my previous case of it which was very mild? Or do I take the vaccine that they say I have to even though it's not known if it will actually prevent me from getting it or just make me asymptomatic or mild, which I already was, and still able to spread it? According to the science, they are the same outcome for me, so why should I risk a bad side effect for no different protection?
This is the upside to having a complex medical situation. I've learned to be very proactive in my own treatments, because all doctors aren't equal in skill. I research every medication that's suggested to make sure it's not going to affect one of my other conditions. Multiple times I've been prescribed medications that were dangerous to me including one that had a black label for my heart condition. Doctors aren't infallible and should never be treated like they are. I don't know why people treat them that way when malpractice is the third leading cause of death.

@nolwino This is to your evolution, picking mate thing. Humans also have these things called contraceptives. We also have pills that prevent implantation. Because we have evolved brains, we can make decisions for ourselves like who we have sex with that we are all very aware could result in a pregnancy. There's such a thing as personal responsibility.
As to Down Syndrome, because you are disabled and hate yourself, you're projecting that onto the unborn. Most Down Syndrome children born now are self sufficient. The reason they weren't in generations past is because they were hidden and not taught. Society viewed them as unable to learn. That's not true. Those that grew up, especially after Gen X, went to school, got an education, and are able to live alone. Tossing someone away because they aren't perfect is detrimental to the gene pool. A wide variety of different genes creates a stronger species. As a species evolves, those evolutions will be seen as birth defects because they are different. So eliminating every possible pregnancy that has a birth "defect" will prevent the species from advancing. Unfortunately society goes through periods were it tries to create and force perfection. The group lead by the funny mustache man wasn't unique at that time in that endeavor. Those periods of time are always looked back at in horror and as unethical. Just because we're living in such a time now, doesn't mean everyone has to be forced to participate.
Edit: Sickle Cell isn't a birth defect. It's only an issue in the west. It's an evolutionary response to malaria. People born in areas with malaria it's a bonus, not a defect. Hence my advancement point. You clearly aren't a person that needs to be deciding what is and isn't a defect.

@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.

That's not what they're for. It's to limit movement and driving to reduce emissions. I don't know where you got the community thing from. Most people in cities already don't go far from where they live, except for their job, and don't have a "community". Most don't know a single person that lives in the same building or only a couple. No "the left" doesn't give a crap about the majority of men because they're huwhite. When the current skyrocketing rate of them self harming gets brought up, it's laughed off and sometimes even cheered.
"Suburb is what demolished the community in the US". Wrong. You'll find the sense of community still pretty strong in most suburbs and in rural areas. A city center isn't required for a sense of community and I don't know why you think it is. In rural areas where populations are spread out due to being heavily agricultural there's no center because it's so rural that large businesses, which is what populates city centers, don't operate. The school or church is what the community rallies around. I've lived where there was a population of less than 100 people and a single store. No government buildings, no "city center" and the community is extremely strong. The sense of community doesn't really exist in cities because of population density. It's too many different people with different enjoyments crammed into a single area. I don't need to "look it up" since I've lived in every single type of place from a large city to tiny towns.
"The left isn't 16-25 year old women. The left is huge. Half of people" I guess you don't understand the significance of the age range you even wrote. He's focusing on Gen Z who are currently 16-25. This isn't about the entire population because the rest of us don't have the issues that he's discussing. We're married and had our children for the most part. By the way, women are 51% of the population so half and yes it's women that predominantly vote left. No the current young left is not nationalistic. The majority hate the country, that's according to polls. You can deny it all you like, but reality doesn't care.
Edit: Since I'm from small towns with strong communities I attempted to treat people the same way when I moved to a big city. They didn't take kindly to it. They found my attempts at out reach, like making them a meal or making Christmas treats and giving them to everyone, unsettling and creepy. You know, the things that are typically done in an area with a strong sense of community.

@marygard4608 Inflation, per the definition, is caused by the printing of money which devalues the value of it. What you are referring to is just economics. Also supply vs demand economics in one instance. That's not inflation. They expected to have to combat inflation post COVID because over 1/3 of our money supply was printed during it. Thus causing inflation. Annie is correct in everything she is saying. The reason feminism caused things like housing shortages is because with the introduction of the no fault divorce, a family now had multiple homes instead of 1 because the mother AND father had separate households. Keep in mind it caused the divorce rate to jump to close to 60%. Divorce was available for abuse or infidelity long before that, so this idea that women were forced to stay in abusive relationships is bull. As noted, during those times teachers and nurses earned good money and were exclusively jobs held by women. This is all coming from the US so you don't get confused that I'm talking about another country.
Yes men had to legally financially provide for their wives even if they didn't live together. This was mostly seen in the upper class. Women could legally marry other women in the 1800s as well. It was for women who were financially independent because it was thought normal that women needed the company of other women. As for voting, nobody but land owners could vote for a long time in the US. Once it was opened for all men, a literacy test was required. Since most men had to go to work on the family farm or in a factory (child labor only ended fairly recently) most only had a grade school education and couldn't pass it. My grandfather only had an 8th grade education, but one of the most intelligent people I've ever known and I know rocket scientists. Intelligence doesn't correlate to job or degree either. MENSA is full of stay at home wives and mothers, including me. Yes we are told we are slaves, we are members of the patriarchy, we are less than, etc by feminist all the time.

@drewsimoncomedy Their sense of purpose back then has nothing to do with their job. Their sense of purpose was defined by what they were doing was for the betterment of society. They were not as focused on the self as we are now. They were much more focused on community, family, and God. Doing something only for yourself would have been looked down on. That's why people in cities in the roaring 20s that were focused on partying and indulgence were looked down on instead of envied like today. 100 years ago saw more people living in cities than rural areas for the first time in the US. So no, most people wouldn't have been self employed because a large population in a small area can't support that. I think you are confusing farming to feed your family and selling any extra as "self employed" instead of understanding it was for survival. That's like calling settlers "self employed". If your grandparents were sheep farmers, they would have been considered wealthy so not the norm. My grandmother's family were cattle ranchers. They were wealthy enough to send all their daughters to college. I have furniture from that side and it was considered expensive at the time(still is. 1 item I have would go for around$2-3,000 today). My grandfather family worked the family farm and were poor, struggling to survive. They had very little. My grandfather went to work at the oil refinery when it opened to support his family. Because your family was well off, it clouds your understanding of what it was really like for most causing you to romanticize it.
Edit: This isn't a dig at you. Had my grandmother not married below her station, and she reminded my grandfather of that regularly, I would have had a similar understanding of that time period. Because she did, my family grew up poor (I live in the south and didn't have air conditioning until I was in middle school and my mother didn't have indoor plumbing until the mid 50s) so have a better understanding of what it was like for the majority at the time.

@user-wp5fe8ec6l We already have private police, fire, roads, and ambulances. Many fire departments are volunteers and not paid. Private security is private police as is a neighborhood watch. We even have a private army they were called Blackwater. Private roads are definitely a thing and my town has a private ambulance service aside from the city. It's much cheaper. You can purchase a year's subscription to it and they accept what your insurance pays and have a flat price for those without it. Education wasn't centralized under the federal government until Carter in the 1970s. That's when our world ranking in education started dropping and it continues today.
I realize this is kind of old, but you claim to have lived in various areas yet aren't aware much of what you're questioning how it will work already exists. As for your claims of how violent it would be, we've got huge government and just got out of the most violent period of our history in the late 1990s. Contrary to what movies portray, the "wild" west was less violent than it is now. Even though they didn't really have a centralized government. Each town/community made their own rules. As for your concern for others because the government wouldn't be handing out money to those less fortunate, private local charities have much better success rates than government in that area. That's based on studies. It's because people that live in the same place understand better what is needed for someone to improve their circumstances than a giant government that doesn't know anything about it. It doesn't waste funds like the government either. Right now only 30% of the budget for welfare and food stamps gets to the people. 70% is overhead. If you look back throughout our history, you'll see a drop in outcomes when government gets involved and creates programs to "help". It's expensive and inefficient.
As for business and government working together being right wing, I guess the Democratic party is the real right wing, because that's been happening openly for the last year and still is. In our current political times, it isn't though because all authoritarian government is left (more laws, regulations, huge government) and small government is right wing. Both parties in the US right now are pro big government, so we have no real right wing. That's the problem with trying to use old definitions and concepts and apply them the same way today.

@littledancingfawn It was about shopping. She hadn't done the grocery shopping like they'd agreed to it appeared. He was also in the middle of his heart problems where it was being crushed meaning he wasn't able to do anything physically straining. No lifting, little movement, nothing that will increase your heart rate, etc. He wanted her to take an Uber and leave the car for him because he was going to go by his parents house, his father helps run the business and is in charge of booking. She wanted it but wouldn't give him a time frame of how long she'd be gone and was going to do some other shopping with her friends. So it wasn't just for neccessary items. She ridiculed his family in that clip too.
Having been married for 25 years, a SAHM, and pregnant twice I have some experience here. All of my pregnancies were high risk. The first higher risk than the 2nd until the 3re trimester then the 2nd was much more so. I took care of my mother, grandmother, and father throughout the 2nd one. My mother was recovering from quadruple bypass and aorta bypass, my grandmother had breast cancer, and my father was working 12 hour shifts. She's relying on the sympathy being pregnant draws from the public. People seem to think it's a disability when it's most definitely not. If she was going shopping with her friends, she was perfectly physically able to go purchase food while she was out. He needed her to step up and take care of him, but she clearly had no interest in doing so. It reminded me of my youngest son's ex girlfriend. She expected him to drop everything and take care of her if she just had a mild headache, but when he got very sick with the flu she wouldn't even go into the room to check on him. She was trying to manipulate him into giving into her demands and he was clearly tired of it and had run out of patience when it came to this subject. That's all. If people could hear some of the arguments me and my husband had, especially within the first few years, they'd think we were both horrible depending on the subject.

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.

@t-rozbenouameur5304 First of all what world were you living in where the media delegitimize Obama? The only time mainstream media said really anything bad about him was when he wiretapped them. Meanwhile, they were delegitimizing Trump before he was President. Immediately it was Russian collusion, the election was stolen, massive election interference, etc. There's 100% proof that the Obama administration set into motion everything they could think of to disrupt Trump's term. The Pentagon was lying to the people and the Commander in Chief about troop counts and actions. The dossier that kicked off the near 3 year investigation was bought by Hillary to distract from her emails. All of this is known and all of this has been proven with documentation and testimony, yet now you don't understand why people don't trust the powers that be? In just the recounts election results have changed, but there's no need to look into it? If it was you that had lost and then won or vice versa, I imagine you'd see it differently.
Before the ink dried on the first count, there were 3 prosecutions of fraud of hundreds and thousands of votes, but you want to wave it away as nothing to see here. At the very least, this proves we need more secure elections and a better way to count the vote in some states. Fortunately I live in a state that purges voter rolls regularly and has voter ID so I know mine was fairly secure. What you and others fail to understand is that it's not just if fraud occurred, it's if it's possible that should be the concern. For the record I'm independent and despise both parties. I'm not a rabid Trump supporter, but did get on board when he banned CRT because that philosophy is a violation of the Civil Rights Act and should be stamped out.

@presidentmerkinmuffley6769 What's really funny is how you seem to believe that the right and left differ strongly on race, religion, and immigration. Obama deported the most illegals ever, but Reagan gave citizenship to them. Until last election both sides supported border security including a barrier of some sort , both courted the religious vote by mentioning God regularly and making the fact they regularly attend church well known, and you only have to look at Biden and his long career with the DNC to see how they really feel about the minorities they claim to champion. So by claiming every attack that involves race or immigration is alt right is just an attempt to frame one side as "bad" when both sides, in practice, are capable of producing extremists with the same ideology. To label them alt right is based on how most other countries view those sides, but that's not how they are in US politics. In fact, historically speaking, the DNC is more likely to produce them than Republicans because they are the party that created the KKK and didn't support the Civil Rights Act. The fact that Dems in California are right now attempting to end the Civil Rights Act and has now made pedophilia less of a crime, should unequivocally show the truth of the DNC and proves my points.

@tljsucks1166 You still haven't answered what policies. The only thing she talks about is giving away more money. Buying votes, basically. Her and Biden both have said repeatedly he didn't do anything without her. They worked hand in hand. There's nothing she would change about the last 4 years, yet runs on being change. She says a "new generation" when she's a boomer, and that's been 3 of our Presidents already. Bush, Clinton, and Obama. The reason people say Ukraine wouldn't have happened is because Putin has talked about how Trump was a wildcard. That when Trump threatened him, even if he thought it was only a 1% chance, he wouldn't risk it. There's a reason he started mobilizing in high gear after Biden was elected. Because he didn't see Biden as someone to take seriously and he was right clearly. Obama openly talked about how when Biden would visit say Saudi Arabia, he'd have to get on the phone and smooth things over. Kamala has called Biden her mentor. Think about that. None of the Democrat platform are her policies. They're all Biden's. The DNC has said they didn't have time to write and vote on a new one, so they went with what they had. If you want to vote for a machine rather than a person, that's fine. But be honest about it.

@xX_Pokeman_Xx It would have been referred to as another Great War which was what WW I was called. It was renamed WW I after the 2nd war because you can't have two "Great" wars. It's not where the wars took place, but the countries that allied together to fight against each other stretched across the world. UK and her commonwealth countries (Canada, Australia, India, etc), US (later), Norway, China, etc. Versus Germany, Japan, Russia, and Italy. The battlefield wasn't global, but the number of countries involved was. Multiple countries vs multiple countries. It's was the pacts that caused WW I aka the Great War because the invasion triggered multiple countries to join and then that caused multiple other countries to join thus resulting in a large portion of the world's countries to be in a war with each other even if they never invaded each other.

@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.

@kishkin8743 This isn't occurring in red states. If you bothered to read the comments, you'd know that. It's in dense cities in blue states. However, it's a national grid so eventually it will effect everyone. The state doesn't control or own the electric company. So they aren't in charge of upgrading it or anything else. We aren't socialist. The electric companies throughout the US are broken down by regions. Several states will often share a power company. For example, Entergy controls and maintains power in Arkansas, Louisiana, part of Texas, and Mississippi. For someone claiming to live in a smart red state, you're incredibly dumb.
Edit: To explain even further why it will become a national problem. Because the grid is all tied in together, companies can sell excess electricity to nearby states. Eventually everyone will run out of excess power to share and sell. Especially when the nuclear power plants get shutdown. Arkansas, run by Entergy, has a nuclear plant. Once it's shutdown it will directly impact every state it offers power to. This is why during the snowstorm that the media only talked about Texas, 13 states on the national grid were also impacted and experienced varying degrees of rolling blackouts. Green energy failed in multiple states causing them to buy power from other areas of the grid, which created huge electric bills for everyone in those states.

@MaskedMadmann He didn't say ruined, but it is true. Tell that to all the small business owners, the family and friends of the nearly doubled suicide rate, the children who suffered abuse that also doubled, the 2 years in education lost, the young who have to catch up on development because they couldn't read faces and their IQ dropped by 20 points, tell that to the increase in poverty and the millions that starved in 3rd world countries because we locked down and screwed up the supply chain, the people that lost their jobs, etc. Oh yeah and a few more, the cancer patients that will die because they were denied early treatment, same for heart disease, and the massive increase in mental illness we'll be dealing with decades it wasn't that big a deal.

@Sebster85 The Thor movies have always done the worst performing in the franchise. So expectations $ wise was already lower. Yes Marvel movies are getting bad across the board. There's a reason for that. They are based on comic books which were intentionally written to become these movies. Some of the dialog may change, but the story follows the comic and ALL of those comics were woke. The male heros became portrayed as dumb and useless that couldn't defeat a villain without a woman's help no matter how strong they used to be. They created the multiverse, killing off the original versions and introducing new, more diverse ones from it. So now not only are there few old beloved heros, but there are no real stakes. That's because they can't have their new diverse heros lose or look bad. Only left over heros are allowed to be weak, dumb, and lose; and those were only the male huwhite ones. Understand it or not, that's what is coming across on the screen because that's what happened in the comics. Audiences might not fully realize that's what they're reacting to, but they know something is off and the movies don't feel right anymore. It took awhile for comic book fans to fully understand what had happened to their heros, but eventually it gets too in your face to deny it anymore.
Sorry for the long post, but it took it to explain that yes it is woke that's causing the movies to do poorly by Marvel movie standards. It's just still subtler than it will be later, but it's still the reason.
