Tariffs only work when they're targeted. Japan, for example, has a 10% tarrif on the rice the US imports to them. It's to protect their own rice producers. Otherwise, the US could flood their market with cheaper rice, destroying their local rice farmers, and then jack the price up because they're now dependent on the imported good. Essentially, what China has done in the US. If the maple syrup guy in the example put their prices up to match the Canadian one, they're bad at business. The price might increase, but not to match the Canadian one because if theirs is cheaper, they'll get increased demand and make more money. Whereas if they increase to match the Canadian brand, they wouldn't make as much as they would if they kept it cheaper because they'd price out some of their consumers. As long as regulations are cut along with the tarrif, it also opens up the market for a new company to form to fill in the gap because it's created an opportunity.

@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.

IQ is potential. Take me as an example. Heck, most of my family. We all range between 130-150 IQ. None of us have been scientists, have invented something, or done anything special. My oldest is 160+ IQ. He works in operations at an oil refinery. My IQ is 138. My contribution is being a stay at home wife and mother. We've all preferred hands-on type work. So we've all been farmers, ranchers, gardeners (I'm a master gardener and enjoy design), carpenters, etc, and very knowledgeable in those areas. When we do find something that piques our interest, we'll read everything we can find on it. Studying and learning about it like we're getting a masters degree in it. We end up with vast amounts of knowledge in various areas outside whatever we've chosen to earn money doing. We've all been creative in one way or another. Both of my sons are musically gifted and could have gone into it professionally. I'm into fabric art and crafting and work at expanding my skills in areas adjacent to that. My mother loved interior design and all forms of decoration (cakes, knicknacks, ceramics, etc). Both my grandfather and father loved woodworking and building things. Those are the skills we'd work on and master outside work. Continously improving our skills in them. That's basically what the majority of higher IQ people do because it's not about making money. It's about learning and improving our knowledge and skills in whatever area we enjoy.
Sorry for the book, but I was trying to sort of explain in detail using my own high IQ family as an example of how it typically functions in the real world.

Owning land has always been an investment. That's why it factors into your net worth. It has intrinsic value. Nobody "convinced" anyone of this. It's been understood since Kings granted land as a reward. You're going to need to first prove that it's artificially inflated. Prices started going up during the pandemic. Not just to, but because mass migration began out of certain areas into other areas. NYC and really all major cities houses have always been more expensive because there's very limited land. Add in zoning and massive, unneeded regulations, and it skyrockets because each regulation adds expense to the building process. The migration I mentioned is still taking place. As people move from one area to another, it creates scarcity in the new area driving up prices because the need is bigger than the supply. Prices will drop as either new houses are built or the migration slows. The idea that it's everywhere is also false. My 25 year old purchased his first house last year for $70,000. It's about the size of our first home which was $50,000 20 years ago. Given inflation, that's not a huge increase.
Edit: His house also has an attached 1 car garage which increases the value by $5,000-$10,000 which ours only had a carport. So it's not really more expensive than our first house. Given inflation, it was probably even a bit cheaper. Too many people want houses that are over 1,500 square feet too which the bigger the house, the more expensive it is. Since that's what the market demands, that's what gets built. Our first home and his first home were both around 1,000 square feet and over 50 years old which decreases the value/cost.

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.

Most likely bought eggs from neighbors, or traded milk for them. It's cheaper. We feed 4 adults and 4 kids (2 boys, 2 girls). We had a small family farm so grew beans, corn, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers (and made pickles), etc. We'd can, dry, and freeze them. Grew enough to last us a year. We'd buy half a cow and hit the yearly sale at the chicken processing plant. They'd sell messed up cuts for cheap once a year to the public. We'd only buy milk, eggs, butter, bread, etc at the store. A lot of times we'd buy bread from a store the suppliers had that carried messed up loafs for cheap. Bacon was a luxury. I grew up in Delta region with no AC because we couldn't afford it.

@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.

@Jessica-ly6eg I'm anorexic, another form of dysmorphia. I don't want anyone to ever "support" me by agreeing with my messed up mental image of myself. That's not reality. Why are you encouraging people to live in a fantasy world? That's why the suicide rate is so high. They aren't treated worse than gays, lesbians, abused children, etc, but have a much higher rate. It's because the mind can't handle the delusion. Unfortunately studies show transition doesn't improve the outcomes, don't point to that single study either. Using it and ignoring the 30 that dispute it is just cherry picking. Knowing that, we continue to push it instead of looking for something that might really help. At some point you've got to ask yourself why. The only conclusion is $. For the surgeries, the psychologist, the pharmaceutical companies who have found a way to profit from a drug created to help the small number of women who have to have hysterectomies. Even though we know long term health risks of these drugs is high we're giving them now to people for a lifetime. Maybe one day people like you will stop "helping" them, and actually do something to help them.

@user-hm1zb8js5i Said Travon Martin could have been his son, weaponized the IRS against political opponents, bailed out the banks and let people swindled by them lose everything, politicized school and mass shootings, signed a death warrant for a US citizen without due process (he had him killed with a drone strike in a foreign country), killed far more innocent bystanders (including a wedding and a coffeeshop) by drone strikes then terrorists creating more terrorists. You can look at news articles that mention race, patriarchy, sex, gender, etc before 2008 and Occupy Wallstreet and after. It's shocking how it jumped up. If you think his administration had nothing to do with that, I'd like to sell you ocean front property in the desert.
Edit: Forgot expanding the Patriot Act. Oh and let's not forget the only possible reason you could have to not agree with his policies is that you're racist. So if you don't think the government should be able to spy on every citizen, the IRS shouldn't be used as a way to target political opponents, or that kids in cages isn't great you're just a racist. I voted for him, so hardly a "conservative".

@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.

@andrehashimoto8056 I'm sorry, when was the last time any business did anything because of "Puritan" right wingers? I was born in the 70s and can't think of a single real instance. They would complain, but no company ever canceled, changed, or removed a product because of them. No concerts were canceled, no art shows closed, no music unpublished, no game unsold.
Edit: Everyone points to the satanic panic, which was done by Democrats also (PMRC). Yet, I could go to any big bookstore and purchase D&D, I could get any game, any book, and I went to a ton of concerts that were protested against and movies.

@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.

@LB-yg2br No they aren't. I believe they mean a liberal arts college. Even if that's not what they meant, there are colleges that wouldn't fall into that category like technical schools and such. In my home state there's a college that's free, but everyone has to work at the college. They can work in agriculture to grow the food they eat, the kitchen to cook the food, sanitation, etc but every student has to contribute. I wouldn't consider that a liberal college. I think leftist would be more appropriate than "liberal". It doesn't take much investigation on the internet to find out if it is or not. Outside of a large humanities department, they'll offer segregated graduations or dorms, safe spaces, there'll be protests advertised, and articles about speakers being blocked or shouted down, etc.
Edit: I don't like how liberal has become to be defined in the US. Everything is liberal because the foundations of the country are on liberal principles. These people are really anti liberal.

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.

My son just purchased his first house, a small starter home, for $60,000. He's Gen Z. It depends on where you live. My house that we bought 4 years ago would be worth over $1 million in places like Vancouver or California. It was $180,000. 3 br, 2 bath, in ground pool, etc. If you carve out California and NYC prices, the average cost of a house drops significantly. Me and my husband were pushing him hard to buy one that was $75,000. 4 br, 3 bath, over 2000 square feet with a finished basement. His wife wanted the smaller house and now complains the kitchen is too small. This is in Oklahoma which has the 7th fastest growing economy in the country.

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.

As someone that had it due to Lupus, it can be devastating. A woman's hair is a big part of a her femininity. I have really long brown hair. I couldn't afford wigs, but I did start saving for one. I had 3 large spots. One at the front, one on top, and one on the left side. Of course it's much harder to find good ones for a huwhite woman than a black one because black women wear them a lot already. Huwhite woman pretty much have to look at sites that make them for cancer patients so then there's a guilt factor involved that you're taking one from someone else. Fortunately mine grew back, minus it still being a bit thin in the front, before I was forced to. If she has it, it's not as bad as mine was. It's a symptom of Lupus. We lose wads of hair during high disease activity called a flare. It's almost always a symptom of an underlying disease. If she doesn't have one, then she got it from damaging her hair and scalp.
Edit: I was facing a liver transplant and my kidneys kept trying to fail. My hair was the least of my concerns at the time. It was, however, one of the only visible signs of my invisible disease though. That and a malar rash.

@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.

@MJSGamingSanctuary If you're so afraid of death how do you function at all? It's more likely you'll die in a car accident or fall in the shower. Both of which could easily put you in the same scenario. I've had the virus and have diseases that put me at risk of death everytime I'd be injected, which is now 3 for my conditions because we aren't producing an immune response to the jab. So far, there have been very few breakthrough cases of those that have gotten the virus and science is currently still saying mild or more infection looks like lifetime immunity. Why should I have to take something I don't need and is only risk? In this woman and you're own comments, you make zero exceptions. Not for medical reasons, not for those that are already immune, etc. What's hilarious is both of you are so afraid and selfish you'd gladly risk the lives of those you claim to want to protect. You use us, the disabled, to claim some moral high ground while punishing us because we can't take it. You're sick and a narcissist and if you're so afraid close yourself up in your home and stop trying to force others to bend to your will. You're the aggressor here. No one is trying to prevent you from taking it, yet you want to force your will onto others while trying to claim you're the victim.
Edit: Don't even try with the variants that will be created because we aren't vaccinated. This variant didn't come from the US, it came from India. Unless the entire world population is vaccinated or until enough get it that it burns it's self out, variants are going to continue. That's why there's never been a successful vaccine against these types of viruses. They mutate too rapidly. Blaming your fellow citizens for things they have no control over and punishing them because people in rural 3rd world countries won't have access shows you don't understand science and shouldn't speak on it until you face reality.

@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.

It's all 100% evolutionary and preservation of the species/civilization. It's hilarious to see people that will say women shouldn't be in leadership positions or vote because they're not responsible enough also saying women should be on the battlefield. That would make it MORE dangerous and deadly for the men. Men fight for various reasons mainly because they evolved as the protector role in the species. That's why they're stronger, have better twitch muscle response, better hand-eye coordination, etc. The only person similar to a feminist is you in this discussion. You're the one trying to pretend men and women are completely interchangeable. Throughout human evolution the men protected the women because women produce life. A single man can impregnate many women. A woman carries it, births it, and nurses it. If you want to see the end of a species or civilization, let the females die and save the males. This is you not understanding biology, survival of the species/civilization, and putting forth a completely emotional argument isn't logical. Understanding that there's this thing called future generations makes any argument that men shouldn't do those things illogical. Everything you were saying was coming from thinking only about things in a self serving present gratification way. As someone who's ancestors fought in wars going back to the Crusades, one that stopped an invasion of England, and in every conflict from the Revolution onward defending this country, this was disgusting. They sacrificed so their family (including future generations) could live a life that was safer and hopefully better. They planted a tree they knew they'd never lay under the shade of. That it also protected strangers was just a bonus. You don't fight for what's in front of you. You fight for what's behind you.
Edit: WWII wasn't just Germany. Why do people think it was just Germany? No, Germany wouldn't have fallen without US intervention. Where do you think Russia was getting food and military supplies from? An army runs on it's stomach. The US defeated Germany on 2 of Germany's 3 fronts. Africa and Northern Europe. We defeated Rommel in Africa. Germany's best military leader. We then landed on the beaches and freed Northern Europe. Russia simply went from their border directly into Germany and we still beat them to Berlin. Then after that, we defeated Japan. No, WWII would NOT have been won without US intervention. Russia would never have freed Northern Europe and Africa, and didn't have the navy capabilities to defeat Japan.

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.

@johndoeson1240 I wouldn't hold Greece up as some shining example since they've had to be bailed out repeatedly by the EU because they keep going bankrupt. As for the rest England is leaving the EU because they don't like all the socialist policies being forced on them further evidenced by their last election, I guess you missed the yellow vest movement in France which has had to cut back it's programs due to mass immigration, Canada's PM just pushed the Great Reset in a speech which is "you'll own nothing and be happy" after he used the pandemic to recess the legislature so he could pass laws that would never get through otherwise like a dictator. At least ya'll have stopped pushing Sweden since they came out and schooled you. BTW, 40% of the Democratic party is far leftist, so hardly the tiny amount you're claiming. Everyone knows when the right goes too far and calls it out, we don't seem to recognize when the left does.
I've never belonged to any party because they are all BS and corrupt, but the lack of checks on the left by the media over the last 10 years is troubling. That enabling has allowed for violence to be committed against their political opposition; endorsed, encouraged, and ignored by the party leadership. On top of that the Democratic governors that have turned into dictators, even going so far as ignoring court rulings, is enough for rational people to distance themselves from that party. That was shown by the down ballot votes in this election.

@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.

@pacobell97 That's not what native means. I know it's hard, but words have multiple definitions. In this case, (of plant or animal) of indigenous origin or growth. Native Americans developed a unique DNA which occurs after 7,000 years of genetic separation. Unless you've been here that long, you're not a Native American. Just like potatoes aren't native to Ireland. They're native to South America.
Edit: The difference is, I have no problem saying someone is the native population of Europe, Africa, or Asia. Are you saying those places don't have a native population? We've been here an estimated 30,000 years. Europe was populated 40,000 years ago. So if we're nit, they're not.

@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.

@tigervalley62 We don't only have two parties. We have several. The current Democrat Party control of the Senate is from 2 independents creating a coalition with that party. Technically Republicans have more members. It's 48 Democrats and 50 Republicans with the Vice President voting to break any ties. I honestly would be upset if I was Canadian. Trudeau's party didn't receive the highest percentage of the vote, but by creating a coalition with the NDP (and a couple of tiny ones) were still able to hold onto control. How is that truly representing the vote? It means that in order for the people to remove him from office, an overwhelming majority will have to vote for something they don't really want. Israel was in a similar situation with their PM if everyone remembers. I'm sorry, but I really fail to see how that's "better".
Edit: They don't choose him, the party that didn't really win did. So they are stuck with a PM, that according to the rest of the Western World is just a tiny step below a tyrant until he decides to hold another election, the other parties get enough balls to hold a vote of no contest (which he can just disband parliament before the vote because of his emergency powers he's given himself), or 4 years. Meanwhile, I vote for who gets to run and for who I want to ultimately have that seat in the government. That way people with different ideas can run within the same party and the people decide who's ideas they like best. That usually helps keep, not just the government, but also the parties controlled by the people.

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.

@deadpooldan9862 If something that hasn't happened does happen, that's by definition "new". Words have meanings as annoying as that is for you. That attempt at an explanation of his new sexual orientation is laughable. The show hasn't even made that claim, but you're writing fanfic and making it lore in your head. He was married to a woman on Gallifrey and is married to a woman as The Doctor. Her name is River. The lore was he simply changed forms, not became someone completely different. Only in the last two, which saw fans tune out, did he start taking on traits of whoever's face he copied. He's not taking over their bodies so it makes zero sense. I'll explain why it doesn't work. In Scifi and fantasy you're asking the audience to suspend a certain amount of belief. However, if you push the audience too far outside those boundaries, it becomes too much for the mind to accept. That's what's happened. Saying it's "magic" or it's "scifi" isn't enough for people fans of that genre to just automatically accept it. It must make sense in the context and boundaries that's been established in the lore. When you toss those established rules aside without a logical explanation for the change, it's called world breaking for a reason. That Davies said he was going to alienate fans means he knew he was asking too much suspension of belief for the majority of the audience. He's aware it leaves him with just consumers of a product rather than a fandom that will keep it alive. That's why he's set it up how he has. He knows it's no longer going to have a fandom willing to introduce it to their children or friends to keep it going for another 50 years. You're what's called a low information viewer. Someone that just watches or consumes something no matter what tripe gets handed to them. A consumer. Judging by the massive audience decline, it is indeed not good. Like it or not, our opinions are just as valid as yours and a lot more share ours than yours. Like StarWars and many others, Doctor Who has fallen for the mythical new modern audience that doesn't exist. These franchises are now dead because they courted an audience of consumers that when it dies due to ratings won't care, won't buy the seasons to rewatch, won't buy the merchandise, and will simply consume the next thing and forget it ever existed.

@Mikerille It was the Japanese that were cornered off after WWII. The Chinatown in San Francisco has existed for 170 years. It was an immigration point of entry for the Chinese in the 1800s. They were created by Chinese immigrants because there was an economic downturn and they were driven out of jobs in the gold mines. They lived near each other and supported each other's businesses in that area and thus Chinatown was born. Just like there are little Italy's, Chinatown was created similarly.
As for your claim about leftists, the Democratic party is 40% "Progressives" which are the ones pushing the censorship, socialism, and the woke mess. Democrat leadership and voices (like journalists) have been calling for those that supported Trump be rounded up and put before Reconciliation councils, that they be denied jobs until they repent, and various other things to prevent them from daring to do that again. I guarantee you more than 10% agree on some level with the Progressives, so no the left is no longer a majority of moderates. That's why it's been bleeding moderates and continues to do so. Since you don't know anything about the history of Chinatowns, it's not surprising you don't know what's been happening now.
There are an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants currently in the US so I have no idea where you get 40,000. Yes the majority of citizens speak English. It's required for citizenship, which my husband just got Friday. It's required for the majority of jobs as well. That's why almost all products have a label in English only unlike in Canada which has English and French. I'm curious why people like you are fine with illegal immigration when it directly affects the ability of minorities to get jobs, especially blacks. It's also interesting that you're fine with their low wages and few protections under the law. If they get seriously injured on one of those hard labor jobs, they don't get anything because they aren't covered by Worker's Compensation and can't receive disability. To me it's little different than China's labor force and how they are treated and not far from slavery honestly. I guess you're argument is they do jobs white people don't, when the reality is they do jobs well off white people won't.

Ignoring Tolkien, it's still bad. Galadriel is horrible and I don't think she's supposed to be. It does look expensive either. The costumes are cheap. There is a lot of 3D printed and plastics that are clear on screen. Jackson had some cheaper stuff too, but they made sure the camera never lingered on any of those pieces so it wasn't noticable. They aren't smart enough to do that. It's jarring when it goes from something shiny and new to something they tried to make look older. Everyone, especially the Elves, must have teleportation because they just zap somewhere far away without changing clothes or needing to camp anywhere. Apparently it's perfectly safe for the Elf (I don't feel like looking up proper spelling) to travel 2 weeks alone after the Dwarves refuse to see him, even though they know orcs, goblins, and other dark creatures are still around. The fighting is ridiculous. The stranger can make the trees blow around but the Hobbit is mysteriously unaffected by the wind. Fantasy is great, but it needs to be grounded in reality or it comes off too unbelievable to the point you can't relate to it and the mind rejects it. Don't get me started on the dialog. It's just bad all the way around.
I'd need a book to go over how much lore they've broken and to explain how, outside of names and places, this isn't anything Tolkien wrote. You are correct that they've taken things from lots of different other books and games and smushed it together. I'm going to be taking bets " the stranger" is going to be Belgarion from David Eddings book. Not in name obviously, but the character will still be him. I can't wait for the lawsuits to start because if we can identify where these things come from, the writers of them will as well.

Harley isn't the juggernaut it used to be. Not because of what's recently come out, but because a few years ago, they jumped on the green energy bandwagon. They moved their production outside the US before now, which has resulted in an inferior product, along with announcing they were going to make only electric ones in the next few years. They still want to charge a ridiculous price for a no longer superior product. It's like someone pointed out. They make changes that hurt their business, causing them to need more outside investments. Then they go woke to get it, and the company eventually tanks as a result. It's not "go woke, go broke." It's go broke, get woke, hobble along for a bit, then go broke.

@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.

I've got to correct Tim on Juneteenth. It's not when slavery ended. Texas was not the last state to have slaves. Entering Texas was the last of the Confederate states to be officially taken. The Emancipation Proclamation only was for the Confederacy who were no longer under US rule so it meant nothing. The passing of the amendment after the end of the war ended slavery because 4 states that stayed in the US still had legal slavery. They freed their slaves after the amendment and the government compensated them for the loss of their slaves. That was the end of slavery in the US. Juneteenth is revisionist history because it was only EVER a local celebration, not a national one. So we're now celebrating as a national holiday the day slavery ended in the Confederate States. Technically it didn't end even after the amendment because then the government had to negotiate with the Native tribes that still had them to free them, such as in Oklahoma and other territories at the time, but then you get into the were they more a sovereign territory or not issue.
As for your two cases, they both deserve serious time. She's a lawyer which makes her crime particularly egregious. She took an oath when she was accepted into the BAR, she planned it, she handed out explosives to other people making them participants in her act of terror, and still shows no remorse for her actions. She should get minimum 10 years without probation and disbarred. The Capital case he should absolutely get 7 years. I know it's not a popular opinion, but he did some horrific things. He helped that officer be shot by his own stun gun multiple times, which could have easily killed him. It's a lethal weapon. Not as lethal as a firearm, but still lethal. He also encouraged and got his own child to participate in the beating of the officer which is disturbing. So I think he got what he deserves. Had it not been a heat of the moment and been planned, then he'd deserve the same sentence as I said for her.
Edit: The fact she's trying to claim anxiety and depression as an excuse for her actions is ludicrous and she knows that as a lawyer. She wasn't mentally insane so no amount of mental illness short of that gets you criminally excused for your behavior. Even then you're sent a psych hospital for years.

@bezceljudzelzceljsh5799 Canada has tariffs on US imports. For example, on milk, it's as high as 230%. It's a progressive tarrif, so the more imported, the higher it gets. Obviously nobody imports enough to reach that percentage, which is the point of it. It's to protect theur dairy industry. Canada engages in protectionist tariffs, but for some strange reason Canada doesn't think the US should be allowed to do the same. Every country engages in this practice against US industries, but we're supposed to just put tiny more symbolic ones. I don't think most Canadians are even aware they're doing it. So I'm trying to be educational in my engagement with them on this topic. That's why the president is saying reciprocal tariffs. If Americans were running around complaining and hating Canadians for decades over these tariffs, I'd understand the reaction. Instead, we've tolerated them and it doesn't impact our relationship, but if we dare engage in reciprocal tariffs, the world is ending and we're the worst people ever.
Edit: This is why milk is so much more expensive in Canada and why Canadians near the border will cross to buy it and gas. If they weren't in place, we'd import a lot more. Making your milk comparable in pricing but also destroying your dairy industry. So you're own country isn't working in your best interests if that interest is cheaper goods.

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.

@iironhide6209 NYC is 6% below the median household income in 2017 so it's bad too if that's the only metric you go by. What that figure doesn't take into account is the cost of living. I live in the 2nd poorest state with 17.6% poverty rate. The difference is poverty here still means able to live and thrive. The minimum wage in my state is $11. In New York it's $11.80 and California is $12.00. The difference is the average cost of a house in my state is just over $100,000. In New York and California it's $400,000. The poverty line is set by the average of what it costs to live anywhere. Because of how expensive places like New York and California are it drives that amount up. The average household income in my state is $47,000. The average in New York is $57,000, but my $47,000 will go a lot farther than that $57,000 will in New York. You might point to all the things there is to do in New York, but what good is that when you can't afford to do it? Plus with just a 3 hour drive, I can have access to a lot of that too because that's how far I am from Dallas. Edit to add: I also can buy half a cow from a local farmer and fresh vegetables are cheap enough during growing season, I can buy them in bulk and can/freeze them so I eat far healthier for far cheaper. It all goes into my freezer next to the deer and wild pig my husband killed.

You do know that's not actually true right? We have Medicare and Medicaid that people would qualify for in those situations as well as food stamps and welfare. Medicaid is for the poor or if you're medical bills are a certain percentage of your monthly income. The elderly get Medicare which pays for their medical care and they use the majority of the medical resources. There are charities and other programs to help if you need food, bills paid, or medication. There's government provided housing and housing that's at a heavily reduced cost subsidized by the government. No medical practice is going to take you to court as long as you attempt to pay. Even if all you can afford is $1 a month, they'll accept it.
Edit: Not only did I work on the financial side of the medical field, my grandmother who was extremely poor had lung cancer. She was never denied a surgery or treatment based on her ability to pay. My mother had 7 heart attacks, her leg amputated, and went septic 3 times including once in her brain. Never denied treatment based on her ability to pay and never sued, hounded by collectors, etc because she couldn't pay it in full. As an example in 2020 25,000 people died in the US from lack of care. 11,000 in Canada died from lack of care. Given the population size, statistically I'm more likely to die in Canada from lack of care than the US.

@horusfalcon There are thousands of colleges. From large, to tiny. You're acting like that all goes to a handful of schools. That's not anywhere near enough to do what you claim. That's like the math people use to claim if you took all the money away from the 1% it would fund healthcare. Yeah for maybe 6 months. The professors salaries, staff salaries, water, energy, maintenance, library (many have climate control areas for rare and old books), food for all the students, supplies for things like science departments, computer programs, etc.
Edit: Look at public education budgets for large cities. That number is NOTHING compared to them.

@deerick3109 That's partially true. When it comes to former rental properties, not so much. The reason is that far too often when a renter is evicted, they destroy the property. I've heard from landlords of renters pouring cement down the drains and toilets so that all the plumbing has to be redone, selling faucets, stripping the wiring, intentionally flooding it, knocking holes in the walls, and breaking all the windows. Also combinations of all of those. Nobody is going to want to buy that and it'll most likely go to auction being sold as is. As is is another red flag that buyers avoid because it means the house has serious issues and can't pass an inspection. The landlords will make a fraction of what the house is worth and still owe the bank for the remainder of the loan. The houses going for over asking are move in ready. I know because I just purchased a home in a very competitive market. All homes that didn't require work were sold within a day or two of hitting the market in a bidding war. The home we purchased needed some work and we bought below asking and appraisal.
Edit: We paid $180,000 for the home. It'll take around $10,000-$15,000 to finish the renovation and landscape the yard. After that, we should be able to resell is for $240,000-$260,000.

@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.

If I was one of the staffers or legislators at the building, I'd hold the door open for them. I can't believe in that article they are claiming zooming the meetings is more democratic.
Speaking of the officers that are quitting because they won't break the Constitution, a recent article said the ones from Washington and Oregon are flooding to my state of Arkansas. You are welcome here, just do your duty to the best of your abilities. We are currently a Republican controlled state, but that tends to fluctuate. 2016 was the first time we were that way in around 100 years. I don't care for the current governor, but he's treated us fairly through all this. Technically there is a mask mandate, but there's no fine or anything for not following it. The only exception is restaurants because that falls under the Health Department however many places aren't enforcing it. Hell, even our buffets are back to normal. I have not seen anyone accosted for not wearing a mask in a place of business either. I believe all the sheriffs have stated they are not the mask police and that's not their job. We haven't had riots either. In fact my town voted to keep our county's Confederate monument exactly where it is in the recent election. When there were a couple of objections to it's public display, our judges did the right thing and let the people decide. It wasn't even close. Unfortunately, right now, we are one of the few places holding onto our rights granted by the Constitution.

@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.

There's nothing you can do about ponzi schemes. The government currently doesn't prevent them. It only comes in after the damage has been done. Look at Madoff, who ran one for decades. Transportation safety isn't laws. It's regulations. The majority of those regulations are 40 years old or less. Just the idea that they're somehow a necessity when they're fairly new is odd. The only one that's a law is wearing a seat belt, which again is fairly new and falls on the operator. Not the car company. Before all the regulations, they'd just be sued if there was a known issue. Once that happened a few times, they started doing recalls and repairs once something bad was reported. Which is why you don't see lawsuits today. It has nothing to do with the government.
Food safety was only put in to increase confidence in grocery stores, like the USDA. Before everyone purchased directly from the farmer or the local store said what farm their stock came from. Most of the regulations were put in place by the lobbiest for the company that created the product to limit competition. Heinz, for example, lobbied the government to put in sanitary regulations for bottling because ketchup became popular. Lots of knockoffs hit the shelves quickly with varying degrees of pricing. The cheapest had sawdust, for example (which is still found in foods today). The cheaper a product was, the lower the quality, which again is still true today. So Heinz sent a lobbiest to DC, scared the politicians, they made regulations, and the cheaper options were immediately removed from competition. The same thing happened with Coke. The idea they're there to protect you isn't true. They're there to raise the barrier for competition. Just look into what the USDA allows in your meat, and you'll understand that. Though I warn you, you might not want to buy any ever again if you do.
A good example of the market doing its job is chicken. People didn't want antibiotics and some wanted free range. The market responded and now those are all readily available. A prime example of customers demanding change without the government stepping in to force it.
Edit: Also, look at just a few years ago with outbreaks of salmonella poisoning from bagged lettuce. All those regulations didn't prevent it.

The offering to test the homes is not for safety reasons. It's for their comfort. So they can see and know it's safe. The air has been tested and everything else before people were allowed back in the area. Yes wildlife will be affected because they drink from surface water. Humans don't. We drink from groundwater or reservoirs far away from the train derailment. I understand the distrust of government and companies. I understand the overreaction from people not used to chemicals. This is not some massive coverup or some super rare scary situation. To me ,who grew up around chemical plants and a dangerous materials disposal plant, I find everyone freaking out entertaining. All the dead fish just look likes a fish kill before spring to restock which I'm assuming most people haven't seen or experienced. This person has no idea how long those fish have been dead. Most animals avoid eating other dead animals so they could have been dead for a week already. It's cold so they're not going to decompose very quickly. Spills like this, though this is a big one, happen ALL the time. Though this is a good example of why it's better and safer to transport oil by pipeline rather than rail. Oil spills by rail are far more common than they are on pipelines. If this was a coverup, the townspeople would have been visited by company men to sign stuff, police or security would have run that girl off very quickly, and the local news wouldn't still be covering it.
Edit: Believe me, there will be tons of lawsuits. This is ambulance chasers wet dream. The plant my father worked at got sued for algae in the pool by a person that lived behind the plant. One evacuation caused by a spill, but no damage, there was a massive lawsuit for being inconvenienced.

@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.

The Americas was settled by modern humans 33,000 years ago. You,like many, assume all current Natives come from the migration from Siberia. That's not correct. There were 3 migrations from different areas. The ones from Siberia are the tribes that occupy Canada and the northern US. They arrived 20,000 years ago. The other tribes came up from South America which experienced two separate migrations by boat. They arrived 33,000 years ago. We know this because of DNA. You'd also know this if you had come in contact with pure Natives that had originally lived in the different areas. We do not have the same skin tone.
If you think 33,000 years isn't a long time, modern humans immigrated to Europe and Asia just 50,000 years ago. Sorry, there were no humans in the Americas prior to the Natives. Just like there were no modern humans in Asia or Europe before they migrated there from Africa. If you're trying to claim the Clovis theory, they were 13,000 years ago. Still after the current Natives per DNA testing. We did not take this land from anyone else. There is zero archeological evidence of it. Please stop speaking on things you have zero knowledge about.
We also do not support what these idiots are doing and do NOT consider our loses in battles as the land being stolen. The only land we consider stolen is from broken treaties. We use the courts to settle those disputes.

@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.

Right now people finally able to say stuff they couldn't are going to just go nuts because they've been suppressed so long. That will calm down in a few days. I'm all for getting rid of, or at least putting in a block for, NSFW stuff. Most just want equal rules for everyone. Lorenz pointing out that one Tweet is a prime example. She points to it having 4,000 likes, but ignores the one calling a black officer that with tens of thousands of likes. A lot have been talking about how CP doesn't get banned quickly, but certain things are almost instantly banned or "fact checked". If advertisers want to complain about current content on Twitter not being suitable for their products, I want them to explain why they had no problem advertising on it with its rampant CP. Musk wants to turn Twitter into X which will be like WeChat, where you can do everything. You can even scan a bar code and purchase that item from it, which I think is neat. It's literally an everything app. You can order dinner, record videos, have business meetings, game, etc. WeChat has 800 million daily users. If he can even get half that, advertisers will come regardless of what's on it.

@mosesbrown4126 When they complain about egg prices and someone responds with it being market forces caused by millions of chickens (and dairy cows) being put down due to bird flu, they then try to make fun of the fact people are aware of what happened. I think trying to present it as a conspiracy theory. We simply paid attention to the news. A few weeks ago there was an article about it. Which said the flocks were being put down, and California had lost almost all its dairy cows. I went to the store that day and stocked up on eggs and chicken because I knew prices were going to go up. To me, they're just proudly admitting they don't know how economies function and to cover their own ignorance, pretend everyone that does are spreading "disinformation." If I can stomach it, I'm going to watch the MSNBC of YouTube, Midas Touch, and see what they're actually being told, so I'll kind of understand what they believe.
To answer your question about regulations, particularly at the state level, they're redundant. The federal agency that regulates food sold in grocery stores already has all the safety guidelines required. You're state might have some that go beyond those, but they don't actually create a safer product, or so little it's negligible. That's called over regulation and it's used to prevent competition from smaller producers. It forces them to sign contracts with the big 2 chicken companies if they want to make any money because it makes it too expensive for anyone else.

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.

@thetomdillengerescapeplan3525 Explain how the US system was so much different than that in the beginning either. We were not united as we think of it post Lincoln. Loyalty was to your state and the federal government was last place behind family and God. They had completely different laws, different currencies, and imposed tariffs on each other. I'm from what's now called the Powhatan Confederacy. We had divorce, we had a permanent capital, each family was responsible for growing their own food (so personal property and responsibility), we had cots and beds, and many of the same creature comforts the settlers had. We even taught them how to take care of themselves and were extremely polite at first. We hoped once they learned how to live, they'd leave for a different area. Unfortunately language barriers prevented good communication. This idea that we all lived liked the nomadic plains tribes is completely false. Just as false as the left putting us on some Communist/socialist pedestal claiming we didn't believe in ownership and private property. The different were tolerated within our society and we happily welcomed huwhite people and freed/escaped slaves into our tribe. So we had divorce which could be done by the man or woman, tolerated and found a place for those that didn't fit into our norms rather than reject them, and didn't give a crap what color you were or where you came from. Things that took the US centuries to achieve. So yes, we were more advanced in some ways. That's not including that the founders incorporated some Native tribes forms of government into their system and that our methods of forest fire prevention and farming are still used today.
Edit: Since Europeans claim the advances of every European no matter where they lived, then you can add a far superior understanding and mapping of the solar system and solar events. Even though the Americas were settled by humans about 10,000 years after Europe, it was only a few hundred years behind technologically wise.

@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.

@borginburkes1819 What? "Until 10 years ago, movies were almost exclusively white". No they weren't. Beverly Hills Cop, Batman (Commissioner Gordon was Billy D. Williams), Nutty Professor, Demolition Man, Blade, StarWars, on and on. It's not everyone else's fault YOU choose to not consume those movies. You sound like the stupid people claiming women were never in powerful roles when Bettie Davis would even disagree. Let's see Barbershop, Straight Outta Compton, Malcom X, etc all majority black casts and all performed well at the box office which means they were watched by white audiences. TV wise shows with majority black casts have scored high on TV ratings from Sanford and Son all the way to Family Matters and beyond. Get out of here with that made up bs take.
Edit: I was VERY upset black characters were added by Amazon in Rings of Power because those races look like they do for a reason. You're adding US race bs into other races making it stupid. Why would a race that dwells underground have a black member? There's humans in it which certainly you can put that into, because it fits, but not Elves and Dwarves. You don't mess with someone else's work because it's disrespectful to that work. As for the Little Mermaid, his daughters represented each of the 7 seas and were the race of the people that resides near that sea per the mythology. Meaning they could have changed her to a different character very easily. Or make one based off African mythology, which does have some with mermaids, instead of another culture. Before you claim mythology from Africa doesn't draw audiences I'll remind you of the Lion King. I'm sure you didn't know it existed until now either like every other movie with black people in it. You're also ignoring they told the audience these changes and decisions were made because of "representation".

@emmi2670 So you're also agreeing that a person can't identify with a character except only based on their race? If there's a character that grew up poor, had friends that were constantly in and out of jail as teenagers, their family is Church going everytime the door is open type, but they just happen to not be Native, I can't possibly understand them or identify with what's happening in their head because they don't look like me. That's insane and not how anything works. It's like saying I can't enjoy Viking history because I'm not one. A "native" experience of media would be stories about MY culture, MY religion, MY history. Just sticking a Native in a European story doesn't make it magically mine now or somehow now part of my people's culture. So if I changed every character in Boys in the Hood to Native, Indian, Asian, that's somehow going to make them magically understand those characters that they couldn't before? I hate to tell you, but it's not their "native" (I can't even begin to explain how offensive it is to use that in that sense) to have because it's not from their culture. They're not European. It's NOT a US story or myth it's a European one just like The Lion King is an African one. Since the Lion King is African does that mean I can't understand the story unless instead of lions they used American dog breeds? You see how stupid that is? It's the same as what you're proclaiming as good. Just change the different animals to different races.
Edit: In case you don't understand, that's what the ideology behind "representation" is. That people can't identify with a character that doesn't look like them. So by claiming that native experience crap means you agree because that's the only way that bit makes sense. You're also ignoring it's supposed to be a live action version of the animated movie which means an almost shot for shot reenactment except in things it's just simply impossible. It's not. Most of the movie was changed including the setting so the race swap made sense. Basically you're telling people of other races and cultures their cultures and myths have no value unless a European one is adapted to create it for you.

@reek4062 No more than what's currently being done. Yes, I've read the books, the appendices, the Silmarillion, the letters, the Unfinished Tales (not lore because they were never finisher), etc. Whatever RoP is, it's not anything Tolkien wrote. You change the time, the why, the events that caused it, and it's no longer what the author wrote or intended.

This is driving me crazy. People vote for things but want those things to be free. You want mass deportation and a secure border but don't want to pay what it will cost, and it will cost a LOT. I was fully aware it was going to cost probably around 2 trillion minimum to get them out. Increased agents, increased vehicles for them, increased flights, increased judges, etc, and that's not getting much into the logistics side of it where there's increases in investigations, stake outs, and everything. The border is the wall, more agents, more technology, and more military support for BOTH borders. I don't know if people are aware they're now crossing the northern border. Not at as high of numbers because the groups doing it are charging a lot more, but it is happening. All of that will have a high initial cost to get it all in place.
Edit: Obviously, there is no wall on the northern border, but everything else will apply to it.

@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.
