Trump can and should help. Help the right candidates in the primaries first, then help in the elections.

Or maybe he realized just how limited his options were, and started trying to limit personal damage.

He can't walk out the door burning the whole thing down and still expect to maintain his business. So he fought, but also mitigated his personal risk.

I just do not understand why companies do this.

They're there to sell products, not to get involved in politics. This will only result in lost sales for them.

Also why is politics invading my entire life??

You can do that when you're a teenager.

But these are the people supposedly entrusted with helping keep governments in check.

He totally should do this. Hold an award ceremony for himself.

2 giant peach mint trophies.

A giant dove for no new wars and peace agreements.

A giant dollar sign for lowering taxes.

A giant syringe for reducing drug prices.

And a giant fucking red pill for shining a light on all of this mess

Can confirm.

In tech. No idea how they are so left leaning as companies...

My theory is it's actually the outsized influence of HR, corporate communications, etc. who are more likely to be populated with the demographic that believes there are 18,000 genders. These departments often have a more direct line to the CEO than your normal based engineer would.

He also used words they've been using. Reconciliation. Healing. That was deliberate.

Could be 2 things:

  1. signaling he's standing down

  2. setting up so he can enjoy seeing them all eat their words in the very near future

This is garbage. Lockdowns work fine if you do them right. This has been evidenced in a couple of places, New Zealand being the poster child right now. Most of the others are not lockdowns, they're arbitrary restrictions on normal day to day life. For example, changing a business' hours makes no fucking sense.

The real question you have to ask is, is a proper lockdown worth the economic and other societal damage for this particular virus? If this thing infected you, waited 6 months, then had a 50% death rate across all age groups, I think this is a very different conversation.

But it's not. Most people don't even get sick. It kills a very small fraction and even then mostly people who frankly were on the way out anyways.

Trump said it in the debate: "the cure can't be worse than the disease"

Need 1 and 1 by the rules but if every rep and senator stands up and objects, that sends a very different message. And every single one of them should be objecting to this farce.

False choice.

If we agree we want to interfere with how kids are raised, and I'm not sure we should, then it should be to encourage the nuclear family and strong community bound by family and cultural affinity. I.e. the same model that has worked fine the world over for millennia

We should be discouraging the welfare queen model, not encouraging odd parenting models.

We all know this. The embarrassment is the pretending otherwise over the last 20 years or so.

Yes, most Western countries do. Never to the same scale though

It's going from you, your children, your grandchildren, and possibly your great-grandchildren to anyone but you.
