I AM an individual who is a product of my ancestral heritage and my culture. However, I'm an individual first....one who is in control of my own destiny. If they want to be collectivists first, that's their own business and it's a sad way to live. I'm not good to my family, friends, community or my culture unless I'm good for for myself, first. I can't change the world, for the better, but I can change my little corner of it. If my corner touches the corner of another who's looking after his corner, that better expands. That's how the west, especially in the US and Canada, grew into such prosperity. Individuals, working as such, cooperating and becoming the majority, building their tiny personal "kingdoms" into one, and uniting to become a society and a nation.
That's what took us into becoming the greatest societies in history.

If you have a racist purity test which amounts to a witch trial, of course Trump is racist. So are you. So am I. There's no way anyone will pass that test. It's designed so that everyone tested will fail.
I'm not sure what your problem with herd immunity is all about. If we become immune once exposed to it, eventually, we'll all be immune. Pure logic.
What some people just don't get is that no matter what we do, there will be surges in the cases. It's highly contagious and it's the nature of the disease. If we lockdown until it's completely gone, we'll be locked down for good....for the rest of your life. Not a pleasant prospect.
What's important is the death rate in relationship to the case rate. At the end of April, the case rate was around 30,000 new cases per day. The death rate was around 2000 cases a day.
Now, the case rate is close to 70,000 new cases per day, yet the death rate is under 800 per day. Almost 2 1/2 cases more and yet a 60% DROP in deaths. That says that we're learning how to treat it and I'm going to assume that we'll get better at it in the future. Already, we have plenty respirators and fewer and fewer cases end up in the hospital in relationship to the number of cases.
Even now, the new case load per day seems to be a the peak. That means, we should start to see another dropping off in the next couple of weeks. Not a guarantee but that's the pattern of all infectious diseases. The south didn't peak back in April like NY York did. Now it's their turn. That'll be the pattern in most populated areas. You can't stop it. It will happen.
All you can do is try to protect the most vulnerable. I'm 68, considered to vulnerable. I take precautions. My dad is 88. I haven't seen him since late February.....to keep him safe. That should be the priority....everywhere and It seems as if we get it now. At least they're not putting Covid patients in nursing homes, anymore......a ridiculous move no matter how you look at it.

Did you EVER validate my point. You said EXACTLY what a person, who wasn't objective, would say. First, you deflected the conversation and then you flog the "business disasters" rhetoric, that's just plain false and demonstrably so. Trump net worth is 2.5 billion dollars. That's 2.5 with EIGHT zeros behind it. Over 99% of all the businessmen on the planet wish that their enterprises were that disastrous. We're all failures beside that number and business success is judged on their numbers. Also, I thought that his show was a joke and I never took Trump seriously, mainly because of that show.
Worse, you never answered my basic question. Would the media and Big Tech have covered that story had it been Don Trump juniors laptop, with all the implications of wrong doing, by the father, on that laptop, which were evident on Hunter's laptop? You never even ATTEMPTED to say yes or no to that. You went off on your own little tangent.
Incredibly, you don't even have the self awareness to see how you validated my point.

FOX is the ONLY TV news channel that might have any appeal to a conservative. EVERY other one supports the Democrats. CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, PBS....they ALL support the Democrats. One channel against ALL THE OTHER CHANNELS. Even FOX has been losing viewers because they're not as biased as you'd think. FOX news personality, Chris Wallace, at the presidential debates, asked Trump if would denounce white supremacy. He asked him the SAME question 4 years ago at the presidential debates and he didn't ask Biden that question. Biden, the guy who once came out in support of school segregation gets a pass on that. Why would he do that? Was it because he's part of the Trump propaganda machine? FOX didn't cover the laptop scandal like they should have either. It's a BIG reason why many viewers are critical of FOX. I'll bet you NEVER watch FOX, either. You're just repeating what you're hearing on CNN.
Why would anyone even trust those other channels. It took me ten minutes to find the full video, on the internet, of the Covington kids story. Every one of them, except FOX blasted those kids and everyone of them WERE WRONG. 10 minutes to find it and I'm just a retired bartender, living in a 1 room basement apartment. They couldn't do it? Is it because Nick Sandman was wearing a MAGA hat.
I don't know what you're talking about when you say that Saudis are shooting US soldiers. You'll have to enlighten more on that one.

Nothing is a guarantee....EVER. Your life isn't a guarantee. We've been spoiled into believing that it all has to be there FOR us, whenever we want it and we shouldn't be expected to set standards of excellence.
If you expect nothing but the best from yourself, and that applies to all the things that you've listed, skills, knowledge and experience, others will recognise that desire in you and it will eventually pay off. Not right away, maybe it never will in the way the you'd like it to, but no one finds success in waiting for it. You have to go for it and expect nothing but the best effort, in everything that you do. It's YOU that sets the standard, no one else.
It took me a long time to learn that and when I finally got it, it opened all kinds of doors for me that I never expected.

@Orcinus1967
The Nazis serve as the ultimate example of how NOT to behave as a group or nation. That's why it's discussed ad nauseum. Other examples are the communists of the Soviet Union, China, Cambodia and today, the socialists of Venezuela.
Germany has moved on, as has those of us who lived under the shadow of the Nazis but we can't forget it. We can't forget it because we can't let it happen in our countries because that danger is just as real, today, in the rest of the world, as it was to the Germans 90 years ago.
When we use the Nazis as an example, it's not just an indictment of them, it's also an indictment of the potential in all of us to be exactly the same. The problem is that the "woke" generation refuse to believe it of themselves. They think themselves immune to the lure of social superiority. We try to show them, through Nazi Germany, that no one is immune.
It's not an indictment of Germans alone. It's an indictment of humanity.
