Works for me.People were already dug into their camps with or without Fauci. While I don’t think he did a ton of good, he didn’t hurt either. His cutesy act did help for the <1% of the population that was in the middle on mask vs no mask, shut down vs no shutdown.
He was a wash which is likely better than most could do in the position he was put in.

FEMA emergency money to be used to pay those sky high electric bills. That's a load of ****. The state of TX shouldn't be bailed out for their poor planning.

At least the people who are getting charged $20k for 4 days of power don't have to pay it, I guess.

Yeah... I heard about that story this morning. That’s terrifying. Glad they are getting the assistance they need. Texas needs to fix that, for sure.At least the people who are getting charged $20k for 4 days of power don't have to pay it, I guess.

I don’t agree with this. I think it just would’ve entrenched people more who supported trump. As you said, those who agreed with fauci were already doing what they needed to. Sadly, I don’t think being blunt would’ve helped the cause, as it was already political.This is a post from March of 2020.The world's preeminent infectious disease expert - which might not be replaceable even with 4 or 5 fresh bodies in his place - should die on his sword and remove himself from any role whatsoever in formulating and guiding the response by the world's most respected public health organization to a once-in-century pandemic because........ I'm sorry, why, again?
Yeah, that's a really bad idea.
It’s not hypothetical. Under Fauci, we were a world wide disgrace and lost 500,000 lives. It’s obviously on Trump, but the point is that the world’s greatest infectious disease asset did absolutely nothing meaningful during a historic crisis.
I believe, perhaps naively, that hearing true words at a nationally televised press conference at the beginning of the pandemic would have saved lives. I also believe that his silence was interpreted as support for Trump in MAGA land and in every octogenarian household. I really truly believe that if he would have spoken plainly and confronted Trump in that kind of forum he would have saved lives. And then Biden would have rehired him.

If you identify as anti capitalist and would like to change the world through action, handing over society’s primary tool of information sharing and communication is going to be a hell of an obstacle. It’s the private airplane/climate change thing. The goal isn’t to persuade individuals through behavior modeling. It’s about institutional policies and frameworks.
Capitalism is a multi-century Ponzi scheme, but I don’t see any way to change it up at this point. Humanity itself is a similar scheme. Maybe they expire together.

Your premise is that the only possible way an iPhone could have ever been made is via a capitalist society. Sorry. It’s a false premise. I understand that’s how it did happen (kinda), but that’s not the only possible means for it to occur.
That plus what shmenguin said. You use the tools available to you to do your work.

I thought it was funny that they’re trying to battle racial domination by only allowing black people into their club

Then educate me. Under what other economic structure would allow for technological innovation to be possible? Capitalism is certainly the least stifling of any others tried in human civilization so far, especially the one they push in Marxism/Communism.

I’d say it’s less capitalism as a whole, and more that a handful of industries work in direct contradiction to our entire well being (energy, healthcare and private equity)

To be fair to c2i, it's really difficult to tell when you're trolling vs when you're trying to be serious.

I’m not serious, and don’t call me Shirley.
Lbl is 50% troll 49% edge lord. So no sense in engaging further guessing that this is that 1% of the time.

Nothing elicits good convo better than starting a conversation with "then educate me." I could tell he was super serious there

I was being serious, but questioning BLM in anyway, shape, or form is blasphemous. So was it bit of a smart ass way to phrase it, sure, but was only used due to the initial response from c2i which, imo, was asinine.
