the vampires of the media don't mind sucking the lifeblood from the masses in exchange for a little entertainment, but they sure as hell don't want to have to deal with the masses, except for certain controlled exceptions. They pay dearly to keep the masses at bay. Poor? not even a person to them.

If the government won't mandate vaccines, private and public companies should step up and mandate them of their employees. Follow the money. Make people choose between a livelihood and disease.

I've always been suspect of people who say they know what God's intentions are. Very often, God's intentions align with whatever the agenda is of so-called "holy men". There's a general attitude of holy men, but that can hardly be deemed as God's intentions. You probably know God's intentions better

Imagine this nightmare: artificial intelligence customizes statistics for the user, giving them statistics that support their viewpoint. Each person would have a different set of statistics, and there would no longer be a rational response to general events happening in the world.

The shit they play on the radio all sucks. OK a few songs are good. But most of it is shit. It just makes you wonder why some people get played on the radio and other people, just as deserving or more, get ignored. There's something else at play other than just playing the best songs out there.

If immortality ever was possible, the rich and elites would immediately corner the market on it, and condescending the rest of us by saying it's a "burden" and a "great responsibility" without giving the rest a chance to assume the burden and responsibility.

This is a good video for anyone wondering why the US as the #1 producer of oil would want Venezuela's oil. The answer: our refineries want their oil, not our oil.
Can we please just move on to green energy and stop invading countries and mass murdering for this shit?

American isn't really a meritocracy. In order for it to be a meritocracy, the rich and upper middle class would have to make concessions and give their kids less of an advantage in order to give poor and working class kids more of an advantage, and that violates human nature. It's nice in theory...

You know what? I don't think they're going to institute universal basic income. They're just going to let people get screwed.

The reason why the birthrate is decreasing is because most people today who are poor grew up poor, and they understand that it sucks growing up poor. They also can't afford children, which have become a status symbol.

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S.
“Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.
