That was exactly his point - all those trillions could have slashed taxes to the AVERAGE person, developed a complete renewable energy infrastructure, created a completely fair no cost heath care system...but no - it was more important to kill non-white people while making a very few, very rich.
Because, lets face it, nobody get's rich off "fair", and that's down right UnAmerican.
What revelation, what scandal, what breach of trust, what humiliation, what complete lack of concern for your private life by these "social media" corporations will it take for people to stop posting every personal intimate detail on social media? Tune out, turn off, experience life and keep yourselves private.
There you have it, the official announcement that Windows will be a subscription. Something Microsoft has been trying to accomplish since XP. Don't pay your annual MS tithe and you're the proud owner of a $1200 brick. I just bough a Surface Go to test for the office. Get the one with a big enough drive to support updates (because the 64Gb model runs out of drive space after you patch for a year), add a keyboard, mouse and pen (all extra) plus extended 2yr warrant and it is $1200.
Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy added, "[T]he Free World depends on a free Internet. “. Too bad in practice they gleefully watched Ajit Pai crush that notion while they lined their pockets with $101M Big Telco Payola ( https://www.theverge.com/2017/... ).
Further, Republican Rep. Lamar Smith cited a debunked study ( https://www.politifact.com/tru... ) to claim Google provides biased results for searches about President Donald Trump. Smith accused Google of having a liberal bias "programmed into the company's culture."
The problem with reports like this is that it feeds the denier story. They say, "see, the earth has warmed and cooled in the past without man, there's no proof man is the current culprit". So PhuckIt, drill more, dig more coal, and keep the money rolling into the rich!
"Global warming deniers" and "highly intelligent people" are mutually exclusive categories.
I respectfully disagree. I think there's lot's of highly intelligent people who believe nonsense, for what ever reason. I do, and again, this is my personal opinion, believe there's a religious factor. From a young age before reason, they are brainwashed into believing faith is important. And really, faith is just belief despite the preponderance of evidence to the contrary. So people of faith are already indoctrinated to living with a level cognitive dissonance. My wife is a nurse with a masters degree. She is one of the most intelligent people I've met. She's a catholic with a great degree of faith (she does believe global warming is man made, just to point that out). She completely understands the physical nature of the universe, however, when we get into deep faith discussions, there's that one last question she simply can't ask herself - because it would shake her faith. So she simply lives with cognitive dissonance while refusing to accept or acknowledge what it is.
I think loyalty to the right wing, is of similar importance to someones self image/ self worth / identity with the universe and therefore unquestionable. I don't find that in conflict with intelligence, just in conflict with some aspects of truth.
I have friends and relatives who are global warming deniers - 50+ age range. They are highly intelligent people and actually have advanced degrees (in scientific fields no less; one is a Chemistry teacher with a Masters in chemistry - which really sets me off because she has influence over younger minds.. but that's a different rant. ). This disheartens me greatly. Unsurprisingly, they are Trump supporter republicans.
It's like religion (and they are also religious), "don't interfere in my beliefs with facts", mentality. I don't know how to get around this. I have kids (and grand kids). I really worry about what the planet will be like in 30 years when my youngest son in his 50's.
I believe the problem, and why it's so hard to overcome, is that to fix things, the entire energy eco system needs a redo from top to bottom. That means the really rich oligarchy on top will lose billions - and there in lies the road block. They have the resources, they own the politicians, they own the media.
man, I'm open to suggestions....
Jeez people, if a job is that bad, leave. Staying is just as much a choice as leaving. I've left jobs I hated and taken pay cuts and never looked back. Peace of mind has a definite value. Surprise ending: if you really enjoy what your doing, you'll be good and make more in the end.
"As a young person", you're more part of the problem then us older folk - in the US anyway. If you would actually get out and vote, get people in office who would do something, then we could change it. Sitting back, blaming previous generations is rather pointless when you refuse to exercise your rights and the tools within the system itself, is really the root cause in the US, namely elected owned assholes.
You're confusing the terms "found" and "founded". America was "found' by discarded criminals and rejects, but it was "founded" by entrepreneurs and libertarians. Most of the founding fathers were Deists, not Puritans. Deists believe they have control over their own destiny.
Gee, why are nitrogen oxide levels increasing?
From a company that lied to the entire planet....sorry, don't buy it, or any other VW / German diesel, don't care.
You mean like the Catholics who killed Protestants on sight, who call condom usage "a sin" in a country where 48% of the population is dying of or has HIV, who regularly hide those who abuse children, who claim Global Warming is false because that much power only god can do and if it really were a problem, god would fix it...
Ya, let's not rail against region...
Science will never be enough to prove them wrong. It can't shake their minds about religion being BS, it's the same "faith over facts" when it comes to global warming.

A "communist party" with a longer life span, better education, and better health care then the good'old USA...

Simple, don't call for help......
After decades of slashing public health dollars to pay for tax cuts to the rich, let's just give those poor a number to call, shall we?
Except the Onion is satire, this is real life and the new norm.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

"We" are the insane who continually vote for the same assholes while expecting different results.

THIS is EXACTLY why we need to pull corporate money out of politics AND reign in lobbyists. Bar lobbyists from serving on high level posts.

Eat Shit yourself fucktard. The level of how much you "like" something, has zero impact on its validity.

There are lots of examples of painfully ignorant and delusional people who are experts at something that doesn't exist... they're called "Priests".
Looks like China is going to have one less scientist in the near future.
