Trump'll be fine, he's grifted enough taxpayer money to live his best life until his clogged arteries finally kill him.

It's everyone else who's going to suffer.

Mean old caca heads, the lot of them.

If you're applying somewhere that's annotating the file instead of printing it out and writing on it in pen, they should be able to buy an enterprise license for some PDF editor or other. Or the knowledge to find a free PDF editor somewhere.

I still do, but I used to as well.

That'd be easy, wouldn't it? That we could just find all the people with bad thoughts and stick them somewhere they can't hurt anyone. Sadly the real world doesn't work that way, were we can divide everything into "good people" and "bad people".

Sometimes it's as much, or more, about nurture as it is nature.

and recognizing the reality that we aren’t and by all evidence, won’t.

That's... literally what I've been saying. Have you been ignoring that? My entire point was about motivation, not ability. Your entire point seems to be that there's no other options and nothing we can do about it. About how it's the end of the world and we can't do anything about it.

Sure, people aren't right now, but a big part of that is because people aren't accepting why. You can go on and on and on about how we're not, but unless you put the least amount of thought into why and how to do something meaningful about it, it's just doom-posting to trick people into thinking we should all just give up.

So. If you want to prove to me, or others, or even to yourself, that that's not true... maybe start thinking about what we can do, or just shut up. Because we don't need more people talking about how it's all pointless and there's nothing else we can do. We get plenty of that every day from people much smarter than random people on the internet.

I wonder how many make fun of those people who want to get rid of Obamacare because they have the ACA to take care of them.

Medicaid, which services those with disabilities or who are below an income threshold. At least that's what I get from the wikipedia page.

If there's limited criteria for getting it, it's not "medicare for all", yeah?

Again, those things are a matter of "won't" rather than "can't". It costs "too much" to find alternatives, so companies don't. Funding for alternate resources simply don't exist at the level that's necessary because it doesn't make anyone lots and lots of money.

Those scientists are warning that we should start looking for alternatives, not that we should give up because it's simply not possible to find an alternative.

I understand that you don't want to look further than that, but I judge you for it. Maybe stop taking things at face value and look a little deeper.
