Husband. Father. A little bit better than mediocre at a lot of things. I work with data. I’m not a scientist but I love science. I’m a liberal.

Aside from that, it’s the feeling of fate. I’ve yet to change a single mind. I’ve yet to break through the indoctrination. It’s going to take pain to end this. Humans are still superstitious and selfish cavemen. Too many of us need pain to learn. That is the history lesson.

4. Who has more power in this administration, you or Trump?
5. What is more important to you: preserving democracy or enriching yourself and gaining power?
6. Why do you hate government spending when subsidies and gov't contracts are how you became wealthy?
What would you ask him?

Where have you been fruity? I haven’t seen many posts from you in Bluesky. You aren’t hanging out on threads? Audacious!

YouTube. Full stop. You Tube is a cesspool of idiot man childs making specious arguments that young men deserve something for just being. It isn’t as if they say anything useful like how to make goals and pursue them. Just be mediocre, bitch and wait for it to be given to you.

Every day I open bluesky or read news from a reputable news source and I just want to go outside and throw rocks.

Stop celebrating people and start celebrating events? You can include the attributors to the event:
Emancipation Proclamation Day: Signed by Lincoln.
First Peaceful Transfer of Power Day: Washington Resigns
Responsibility Day: Nixon Resigns
and so on. People are problematic ideals aren't.

I agree with that 100%. My concern is that this is being reported as a statement of fact.

I think Trump’s policies are disastrous but I can’t find a single article substantiating this.

Old enough to remember rivers with signage warning the water was not safe for: fishing, swimming, or drinking. I had a tour of Chattanooga and our guide said Chattanooga was a 2 shirt city in the 70’s. You had to change shirts at lunch because of the smog particulates making your clothing dirty.

-6 I speak my mind. I’m trying to see the good in this. We will reach the other side. I think at best, this is such a disaster that maybe enough come to their senses and tides turn midterm , but realistically this will end in war, persecution of detractors and prolonged austerity.

-5 sadly a majority of us either through self absorbed indifference or our own stubborn insistence to believe our own thinking over facts are incapable of learning history and using that to imagine how are current circumstances track with a “distant” past.

-4 the wise may shudder but can’t change minds in the face of these flawed and deeply held beliefs. In the end, we all have to learn from painful firsthand experience again to have the majority experience enlightenment.

-3 but the less wise can find a single statistic, make a sharpshooter argument that most children lived or weren’t terribly affected add some fallacious reasoning into the mix, “what is in those jabs in the first place?!” And what was once accepted is suspect or worse.

-2 but given time and the disappearance of most illness that knowledge of immediacy has been lost. A wise person can read about measles or polio and realize while they have never seen anyone infected with either and infer they want neither for their child.

I’ve said that many have a failure of imagination. Vaccine “controversy” is a good example. People alive when vaccines became available were aware of the horrors of childhood illness through observation and experience. Vaccine adoption rates were high.

It was outstanding. Also dig that she has a bit of guitar in there. Pop music needs to bring back the guitar solo!

That is batshit. I’ll just speculate on how tariffs have any impact on the price of prescription medications. Meds that are patented here and cost a fraction overseas than what they cost here. We could legislate cost controls but tariffs will do jack shit.
