When your country is completely turned to shit by a brutal dictator or drugs cartels, there is nothing a single person can do to fix it or to keep their head above water.
And as soon as they try to organize something to improve their country, with other people, they are seen as the enemy of the powerful and get squashed.

Didn't you hear about the prisons and mass graves in Syria?
Anyone who wanted better for their country, was a threat to Assad and ended up in one of those prisons, got tortured and ended up in a mass grave. The only people who have the strength and resources to rebel are fundamentalist Muslims. How do you stay alive under such a situation? Either you choose to be loyal to Assad, which means you have to fight to keep a brutal dictator in power, or you join fundamentalist Muslims, which also means you will never have freedom. And whatever side you pick, the other side wants to bomb you to pulp or cut off your head. If you don't pick a side, you're considered an enemy by both sides. How do you fix that?

It's sad that you are unable to imagine situations like that.

I'm not sure what point you are making. Everyone is cracking down on immigration.
Biden negotiated the strictest immigration package ever, with your Republicans.
I'm sure you want it to be even stricter, but Trump only had Republicans drop the deal,
so he could run on immigration. He blames the illegals for everything that's wrong,
so he can give you more of what's wrong.

Humanity is becoming ever more cruel, selfish, scared, unprincipled and short-sighted. Instead of fixing the cause of problems, the majority is distracted by symptoms.
This will be humanity's downfall.

Geoengineering is just a diversion tactic from climate science deniers.
It's all funded by the fossil fuel industry, so they can keep polluting the Earth.

Just as the campaign "Protecting Our Planet Starts with You".
All funded by the fossil fuel industry, to shift the responsibility away.

By the way, I don't want to breath diamond particles into my lungs.
I don't think that's particularly healthy.

Funny! They are actually PRO LIFE, relating to people who are now the victims
of your horrible for profit healthcare system, that only cares about making CEOs
and shareholders wealthy. They think his murder is justice, for mass murder.

If you actually watched the video, you know the political terms 'left' and 'right' come from the French revolution and not from the Bible. The commoners sat on the left side, while the clergy and aristocracy sat on the right side, during the National Assembly of 1789.

If you actually read the Bible, you should understand that Jesus was the OG socialist. He was all about feeding the hungry, healing the sick and rebelling against the powerful and wealthy. He never once demanded people to praise or worship him, he only asked people to follow his example. If he lived today, you would hate him with a passion.

Same with my dad. I don't know if he really can't do it, but he's struggling.
He has been an amazing mechanic all his life, but he never liked anything digital
and always hated everything more complex than an alarm clock. My mother has a PC,
a tablet and a smartphone, but my father doesn't even want to go near it.
Besides the remote of the TV, he doesn't touch anything with buttons.

Here is something that is definitely 'questionable':

Why don't you do that then? Are you already what you want to be?
Are the doors wide open for you to be anything you want to be?
"it just requires a little effort" Are you too lazy to invest in yourself?

How much can America survive after the next 45 days, that's the question.

Where the terms left and right come from
and why every definition of those terms fails.

What crime did "that cheney bitch" do then?
Is being critical of a presidential candidate a crime now?
Better come up with an actual answer, because now you're a fascist by every definition.

What should they be afraid (very afraid) of then?

I see the CNN liberals be afraid, very afraid.
The only thing they are guilty of is criticizing Trump.
Imagine the country where journalists fear being critical.
Well, you don't have to, Trump already did; Project 2025!

Everything Trump has been indicted for was obviously true.
Everything Hunter was investigated for, related to his laptop,
fell apart. What they found was unrelated to the laptop and
unrelated to his father. That was the real lawfair.

Trump was was waving a gun around as a convicted felon,
so why was he not convicted by the same law Hunter was?
Trump has been evading his taxes for decades, much worse than Hunter,
so it would be an outrage if his conviction fell away.
Biden has a right to pardon someone who was unjustly convicted,
even if that is his son. Trump was not unjustly convicted.

The people who are in jail for 4 years after jan 6, ATTACKED COPS!
Many of the cops were seriously injured. If a BLM protester did that,
you would want them under lock and key for ever.
And it's a fucking outrage that the person who instigated that violence
is not in jail right now and is even allowed to be president.

Decades of drugs war didn't work. The US has the worst drugs problem in the world.
Learn from countries that have a much lower drugs problem or have even reduced their drugs problem. None of them succeeded with stricter laws or harsher punishments.

Maybe Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte achieved some reduction in drugs related crime, but his 'War on Drugs' was so incredibly brutal, that it created more death, destruction and trauma for the people than the drugs itself ever did.

If literal death squads don't even work, when are you ready to try something else?

Sure, like China wants to spy on YOU with an air fryer and they would need to put in something "smart" to do it. You are using a device, connected to the internet, NOW,
but you are afraid they will spy on you with anything like an air fryer?
And why would you need to be more afraid of China, than your own NSA?

I do agree it's probably easier to fix. Good job fixing it.

We gave my girlfriend's uncle and aunt an air fryer, when they moved to the retirement home. They said that those mechanical timer buttons were too stiff for their arthritic fingers, so they wanted a digital one. Problem is that the buttons were to complicated for their aging minds, so they never learned to operate it. I showed them several times, even made a simple manual with huge letters, but they didn't even dare to approach the thing. So, they sold it to someone else. Now they don't fry at all anymore. We had better bought the one with the easy controls and just screw on a big lever, for their arthritic hands.

"cars and trucks are what moves AMERICA"
True, because you hardly invested in anything else.
Your public transport looks like it's from the poorest Eastern European countries.

Americans who come here are surprised they don't really need a car here.
It doesn't matter how poor you are in the US, you spend your last money
to own a car, no matter how beat-up it is, or you are unable to survive.
That's LESS FREEDOM!

I wish public transport was owned by the government here. It's not.
It's owned by companies that have a profit incentive and thus fuck us over.
Our public transport system was however built as a public service, when it was
still great and affordable and then privatized by the right-wing government.
Then it became both worse and more expensive.

Every time our right-wing governments privatized something, they promised
"market forces" would make it better and more affordable. FILTHY LIARS!!!
We had democratic control, now we have NO CONTROL and we get SCREWED!!!

In most cases, it's exactly the same medicine.
It's just sold at premium prices to Americans.
Canada can actually negotiate down those prices.
You know, those "Negotiation tools" you just described.
Then they make a profit by just selling it back to YOU.
And sure, when there is money to be made, scammers get in.

No you dumb-ass, you had a decline during and after Trump and then you had nothing but steady recovery! And not even 'slow and steady', but quicker than everywhere else.

If you get out the Paris agreement again, and knock out some of the ev mandate stuff, your auto industry will never sell a car outside of the US again, besides Tesla.
Maybe Musk will let the other car manufacturers make that mistake, so he can become the whole American auto industry.

How many times do I need to tell you that EV's are not intended to save the world,
but to save CARS.

Do you think illegal drugs come from Canada?
Yes, I have trouble understanding that.
Negotiation tools FOR WHAT?

Canada is selling a lot of LEGAL drugs to American patients who need them, at a highly reduced price. I'm sure that angers your big pharma resellers. Maybe that's who Trump is servicing, but it will result in even less access to affordable medication for Americans; HIGHER PRICES.

Trump is doing the exact opposite of what you lot said you voted for him for.
You are heading for 4 years of decline and pain and all you will do is cope.
Maybe the billionaires will do well, but the working class will suffer.
People who cannot work due to disability and retired people will suffer even more.
Don't take my word for it, they are already admitting it themselves.

(I KNOW! Try it in my country and you come to the same 'inflation')

The greedy CEO's of your for profit healthcare system are directly responsible
for the deaths of many many people, so there's a good argument to make it was
"self defense or in defense of others".

However, I wouldn't find him "not guilty", but I would definitely give him a reduction
in his sentence. I'm sure he won't get it though, because of your two-tiered justice system, which always protects the wealthy. If he killed you, for being an asshole to him, he would probably go free, because he's from a rich family too. But now the 'justice' system has to protect greedy CEO's, I'm sure they will throw the book at him.

"... if you need a pardon, you might be guilty"
"No problem, january 20th, pardon 1's self of anything for the past 40 years."

I love you honest support for a total fascist dystopia.

Yeah, thanks Biden, you pardon Hunter, so now Trump can pardon anyone he wants.
MAGA only needs a sliver of hypocrisy to be even worse hypocrites.

"making us all eat vegi's and moving the farts from the cows to the humans is not going to fix anything" that's why that is just a stupid straw-man. No one is in favor of taking away meat. People are encouraged to eat less meat, but not forced.

"Remember what happens when we eat beans?" The gas that produces is only a tiny percentage of the cowfarts emitted during the cultivation of our piece of beef.

Sure we can wait for science to make something fantastic, but the science to save humanity already exists NOW. Waiting for a miracle cure is just an excuse to do nothing.

Replicators would use so much power that it would have the opposite effect. Reorganizing atoms or molecules takes incredible power.
It's the same nonsense as growing beef in a petri dish, it takes more resources than just breeding livestock. Fake solutions to distract from the actual problem.

We don't need a 20 trillion dollar tunnel to travel from the US to UK in a hour.
They estimate that it costs $62 trillion to completely transfer the whole world to renewable energy. Don't spend a third of it on stupid sci-fi fantasies.

Government regulation doesn't mandate the car industry to make cars difficult or hard to repair or ugly, they only mandate them to produce cars that are cleaner and more fuel economical. It's the car manufacturers themselves that make their cars hard to repair, because there is a lot of money associated with that. It's of course logical that cars become more high tech, which makes them difficult and hard to repair, but that's also just the times we live in.
I think the time of cars being designed ugly was a trend that ended now.
Cars are being made to look nicer again. It's taste of course, but I'm seeing some very beautiful new cars lately. While Japanese and French cars were hideous and boring the past decade, they are making better looking cars now. Most people don't want to drive something ugly.

I still see many popular car TV programs. I don't think a shortage of that is a reason for the lack in skilled mechanics. It's just the choice young people need to make for their education. Does the education to become a mechanic result in a good income?
There is the same cause for why there are not enough pharmacy assistants in my country; it requires an advance education, but the pay is only slightly above minimum wage. Young people are not going to invest in an education that doesn't provide them
a good living standard. That's not being lazy, that's being rational.

I didn't hear that in this video, but if you are talking about Nikola Tesla,
I think there is a big chance it's just a myth.

That giga press is a nice innovation. Tesla only gets a small part of the credit though, because the Italians were already developing it. That's an example of electric cars
driving innovation, because it's a company being forced to think of something new,
for when the market for engine blocks will disappear. At least Tesla has a lot of money
to create that new market. However, I expect a bit more from the wealthiest man in the world. Driving the innovation towards affordable electric cars is worthwhile, but it's at best 3% of the solution for the world's climate emergency. How about investing in solutions for the other 97%+ of the problem.

Experience varies of course, but statistics don't lie.

I've been insured with DSW for decades now.
They have never tried to deny me anything I have a right to,
so therefore I don't feel any hatred towards them.
Both the previous and current CEO are honest men.

You Don't Need to Be Luigi Mangione to Hate United Healthcare
only registered users can see external links

United Healthcare denies 32% of customer's claims,
which is the highest percentage in the health insurance industry.

Kaiser Permanente denies 7% of customer's claims.
Explain that difference. Isn't it just a decision, from the CEO?

In a country that has 2500+ children dying from gun violence each year,
I wouldn't cry much over the murder of this asshole CEO.
How many people did he kill, by denying people healthcare?

We will see, don't we?

The price of a product is determined by the manufacturer. Ask them.
I can answer too. There wasn't 291% inflation or a 291% increase in costs
for the manufacturer, they just decided that their product would still sell
well enough at 99 cents and then they would make more profit.
A simple supply and demand consideration, which is made easy when customers don't blame them management for the decision to fuck over their customers,
but who are stupid enough to blame Democrats for that obvious price gauging.

It would be very easy for me to steal your stuff, if I'm sure you are going to blame your black neighbor. That's what your food manufacturers and supermarket executives are doing.

OMG, what nonsensical story did you hear now?
DEI is not the same as woke.
DEI is just a management strategy to get the best out of people.

No, I don't. First of all, Elon Musk is obviously intelligent,
but he is also ignorant as fuck about a lot of things.
Just hearing him talk, makes clear that there is something wrong with his brain. He either has Asperger's or autism.

Second, it's just a completely vapid thing to say.
"Go WOKE and go BROKE"? Why? There are very rich woke people.
There are even people making money off woke.
Woke is a strategy in advertising, if the product is intended for that market.

It's just an example of Elon Musk saying something stupid, to please stupid people.

Wow, 3 days paid leave! I have 380 hours of paid leave per year.

Why do you think I wanted to be skilled labor? I know that replaceable people can be easily exploited. However, they are still doing labor, that "real work" you say you care about. And if employers don't pay them enough, to live on well, they are useless to the economy, because they cannot BUY anything the economy makes. Are you supporting a system where only skilled/educated people make enough money to keep the economy running?

You either grow the economy by increasing people's purchasing power or
by increasing people's education/skill level. You don't want to do either.

Your holy job providers can invest all they want, but someone still has to pay for the services or products their investments eventually create. Who's going to pay for those services and products, if your only purpose is making people earn less?

Sure, you are going back to the middle ages, when there was no democracy
and people like you and me were just serfs, working for our lord-kings.
I guess you think that makes "common sense", because it's simple enough
for you to understand.

A few years ago, Elon was the root of all evil to you, because he made electric cars.
All he had to do, is tell you some dumb things, and you trust him fully, with your government finances. You lot are the easiest people to scam, in history.

Why should I care about what Elon says?

History? Are you talking about BOOK KNOWLEDGE?
You know NOTHING! You picked up some talking points on social media and your propaganda outlets and that's it. Try to actually learn some things about capitalism, communism, socialism, etc., before you think you know better than me.

Socialism is an economy and government structure, with the purpose of providing
all people with the most equality in power. Woke is an ideology of equality as a person, instead of grouped into a race or sex and of personal freedom.
These principles are at best compatible. You don't even know what these terms mean, but you have heard it's bad and that's all you know.

How is it "common sense" to give away power over your life to some wealthy assholes or religion, which is based on what ignorant, iron age people wrote in some book.

Even Elon Musk himself is admitting that pain is coming.
Of course not for him, but for YOU and everyone else who voted for Trump,
because they had trouble affording groceries.

I saw older guys, who were living on social security, disability or unemployment benefits saying they voted for Trump, hoping he would make it easier for them to afford groceries. Understand that their INCOME and all other costs of living are more of a factor in their ability to afford groceries. Let's have the discussion in 4 years,
if those people, living on social security, disability or unemployment benefits, will be more able to afford groceries then. You know my prediction. What do you predict?

Just know this; they got Vivek Ramaswamy into DOGE, to lead it besides Elon Musk.
Vivek made his money by purposely scamming people who invested in Alzheimer medicine. It was a pump and dump scheme from day one.
A guy like that is not in it to help YOU or the tax-payer, he's only in it to help himself. And everyone Trump is getting for his administration is exactly like Vivek, or worse.
And you are an absolute tool for believing them.

Learn something about your own law, please. It's called the 'Logan Act'.
It depends on who the world leader is, if I would let them in.
In any case, the 'Logan Act' wouldn't apply to me,
because I have no access to influence to peddle.
And I'm not an American, of course.

Do you think they don't want to be legal immigrants or get green cards?
That's the most ignorant thing you ever said.
Every single one of them would love nothing more.

I agree with you that it's preferable to ship illegals out, than to keep
this sick system of exploitation going, but if you don't want your grocery prices to skyrocket even further, you'll have to allow working permits,
and Trump never said he was going to do that.

If you're only going to react to the title of the video,
then why would I bother to react to your irrelevant point?

DOGE is not intended to reduce government inefficiency,
it's intended to cut everything that is not going to the wealthy.
I think a brick mason could do a better job than Elon Musk,
because the brick mason might actually be honest about it.

Just one problem; the liberals cannot put their caring into action now.
So, he's gonna have to live with the pure contempt of the fascists.

Officially, Trump is not even allowed to represent your country yet.
Meeting with Netanyahu and Trudeau is another crime you can add to his list.

Sure, some. Better start investing in innovation quickly then,
because at this moment you rely on those immigrants for your food.
It's your choice if those immigrants are legal or illegal.

Nothing you are ever saying shows you think ANY lives matter. Not even your own.

Yeah, funny how you lot still think The Netherlands is socialist at all.
My country is even more capitalist in some sectors of the economy.
We just still have some social safety net, regulation and democracy left,
which is intended to protect capitalism. If you take it away from people, they either turn to socialism or fascism. The last is happening to you.

Of course he will fire Jack Smith. He's not interested in proving his innocence in court.
