What deals? Trump's tariff against the US numbers are made up, they are US trade deficits. Are other countries supposed to lower this number somehow? Is he forcing them to stop exporting to the US? Well that's going to have the same effect as tariffs, right? Or is he going to force them to buy more US products? First of all, that's straight up Mafia behavior; but also the US just doesn't manufacture that much to begin with.

How is this going to make any sense.

It's disappointing that natural selection didn't figure out fusion.

Yeah US had atrocious human rights track records, they just didn't do it that much domestically.

I think you underestimated how much power "executing the law" gives you. And no matter what you believe, it can be immoral to not exercise this power sometimes.

Sure you can educate the populous and hope good people are elected, but you can't guarantee things always go how you hoped. What if the Congress passes some truly reprehensible law? One you deeply disagree with? e.g. genocide, apartheid, weapons for the oppressor, tax break for the rich, what have you. Would you still hold on to your beliefs and execute the law faithfully? Should you?

While good, national popular vote would only have changed the results of 5 out of the past 50 elections.

I'm seeing more and more people using good in places where one would normally use well. I think a shift is happening.

(Also, "I am doing badly")

I've generally been too pessimistic so I'm probably wrong, but I feel it's not going to make a difference either way. When things get this bad, we are already in the terminal stages of this disease, our predecessors made bad decisions in the past few decades and allowed it to progress to this point. Whether we ban it now or not, are just different treatment plans. The prognosis is not going to be good either way.

I know I know, defeatism is bad and all that...

Yeah that person isn't even arguing with grok. She's proud that she's a nazi...

Wtf

Kinda sad that's how Richard found out he has dementia

When everyone worship the corporations, the non-believers stand out.

This is giving so much 1984 vibes...

War is Peace

Freedom is Slavery

Ignorance is Strength
