Well, part of it is that almost every time I’ve said “The States” when asked that question in Europe they look at me like ‘no shit Sherlock I’m not an idiot’ and then ask where in the States. So it may be an efficiency thing for some. I still try to lead with the States as my answer.
Yes! All the people saying “not enough” or “it needs to be a certain way” need to STFU. The US does not have a protest culture, we’re building one right now. Protests are growing in size and frequency and people are boycotting businesses and it is hurting the companies being boycotted. Target is reporting fewer people coming into their stores and sales are down. Tesla is self reporting 13% decline in sales and the stock is losing value. Things are working and we’re building up our resistance. We need to keep it up.
Those who are critical of the efforts, put up a better idea (that people will realistically do) and show the receipts. Otherwise you might as well be a fascist cause you’re helping their side.
Yep. As Bob Dylan eloquently said “don’t have nothing at all except hatred”
And it’s an open secret that doctors get kickbacks from the tests they order whether you need em or not. $800 out of pocket from an MRI that showed nothing? The dr gets a kickback on that cost. Harder to take them seriously if they’re ordering useless expensive tests to line their pockets
