Well they either do need to be made citizens or they need to be kicked out because it hurts the economy way more with them being illegal. And we need to stop so many from coming in. Either that or give them a path to legally work and pay taxes though that's pretty much being a citizen lol. Or get rid of the minimum wage because citizens are forced to follow it and illegals are not.
I agree with pretty much everything as far as mask effectiveness and mandates and rights etc. But I'm not hopping on the vaccines are always 100% bad bandwagon unless I see proof in the content of the vaccine itself. Show me that what's in the vial is bad. A population control website doesn't cut it.
I'm going to get downvoted but I don't care. I think it's important that we aren't homogeneous on every single thing.
You underestimate the resilience of humanity (and life in general) because you yourself are not resilient.
You're probably right. And I do cook, but I don't grow my own food. However, you can't deny that the industrial revolution has made humanity more vulnerable because we have been able to rely on machines to do our work for us and therefore less people have had to know how to make food as a means of survival.
And yes information would survive, but it hardware does degrade and we would need a way to keep the important data preserved. You could write a book on this topic alone. You know that as well as I.
You make good points, but I disagree. Here's why. The key difference between now and the entire history of mankind is one thing. Transportation. In the last 100 years we have become more interconnected than ever before. Look at how fast this virus was able to propagate around the entire world in only a few months. And you're right some people will be able to survive a supervirus, but it won't matter.
Today we live in a world of efficiency. We specialize in the work that we do. I don't know how to make food. I write software. I'm not a farmer or a butcher. But I don't have to be. And therein lies the weakness of our civilization. There is a critical point where if enough people die the supply chains will stop and the supply of food will stop. What would happen if all the grocery stores stopped carrying food for 6 months? Utter panic. This would happen in the case of a supervirus. And those who did survive the virus would starve to death. Only the few who isolate themselves and live off the land away from people will survive. It will truly be like an apocalypse sans zombies. And even if those people do survive, knowledge will not. Our knowledge of math, science, computation, will all die when those specialists die. It will be an effective reset of all our progress and would take centuries to recover from it.
If people have real concerns like what you just said that's fine. But "Bill Gates is gone kill us" isn't an argument. It doesn't even make sense either. Why would the one of the richest people in the world want to harm his position of being at the top. After all, if there's no one at the bottom, the top becomes the bottom. If he exterminates all the workers he's going to have to work again because he has to eat. Money doesn't grow food. It pays workers to grow food. No workers, no food. People just don't think things through.
If I'm going to be convinced I would want to see some analysis of the vaccine that actually says that what's in it can be harmful. I don't think that's unreasonable.
It's ok to be pro Trump and pro vaccine. They are not mutually exclusive. The obviously shouldn't be forced upon people, but there's nothing wrong with people getting it.
Here's the deal. Covid is not really that bad, but what's really scary is how poorly equipped we are to handle viruses. Eventually there is going to come a day where a supervirus hits and takes out the entire population. Ironically, conditioning people to believe that vaccines are automatically bad no matter what is a perfect way to control the population because when a super bad virus does hit and we get a vaccine for it no one is going to want to take it because they've been conditioned to think it's bad for them.
I'm pro Trump. But not everything has to be a conspiracy.
I agree with everything but the bill gates bit. Dude has done more for this world than most people could in 20 lifetimes.
- Just because he has a lot of money doesn't mean he's evil.
- Have you ever actually listened to him speak? He's one of the only rich people who actually cares about poverty in the world. He convinced other billionaires including Warren Buffet and Mark Zuckerberg (just to name a few) to donate their wealth after they die for a good cause. And no I don't like Zuckerberg.
- He tried to warn us of a pandemic almost 5 years ago. Luckily this one isn't serious, but the single greatest threat to humanity is a pandemic. Something that has a recovery rate of <1% and an incubation period of a month with no symptoms is all it would take to send us back to the stone age and possibly wipe us out entirely. Our hyper mobile world is not equipped to handle a pandemic well. Just like if we got hit by an emp bomb we would starve because we are so dependant on electricity.
People talk about population control, but if ou actually listen to gates he's said himself that while over population is bad (it is unless you want perpetual war over resources) it doesn't matter because the population is going to organically soft cap at around 9 billion. Alex Jones needs to lay off. He doesn't deserve the hate he gets.
Oh and rich people want more people on the planet if they want to make more money. More labor and more consumers = more money for the wealthy.
It's ok to be a healthy skeptic, but do your research before you believe everything you hear about gates.
Rush got me into politics when I didn't even know anything about it. A few months earlier I had voted for the first black president and the next election I was voting for romney (you know before he was a backstabbing douchebag). I'd never vote for that pos again.
We need to throw out anonymity in our elections.
The problem with having a fair election is that there are 2 requirements
These 2 are opposite forces fighting against each other. I can't go online and look at my vote to verify that it was correct. No one can. We have to just trust that it's right. Classically this is because we wanted it to be anonymous, but if we throw that requirement out then trust becomes trival to achieve.
I'm not saying use blockchain because there are issues with it, but you go on the bitcoin network and you can see every transaction on the network. Our votes should be similar except you would maybe see voter identification numbers instead of names.
