I thought about that after I posted. Seems like a good shower thoughts post. I think you are correct.

I appreciate your response and bring receipts. If I knew how to cross post I would credit you when using this information in the future.

Out of curiosity what makes twitter less bad than FB? I don’t have enough information to rank. It seems like the king twit is more overt with his intentions while Zuck likes to play it closer to the vest. In reality it’s probably different sides of the same coin

I see. You enjoy the illusion of being connected without actually connecting. That’s what unsolicited holiday cards used to be for. I guess FB is at least an improvement from an environmental standpoint.

My phone works well for that

For anyone still on FB, why? What is the benefit?

I wonder how many federal agents they will use for his perp walk?

Watch The Murder of Fred Hampton, and tell me how it’s not currently being done by those in power.

I love your naivety where you think that just because they don’t kill you or your loved ones, because you’re (likely) part of the accepted group, it’s ok to ignore the fact that they kill all the people you don’t care to think about.

(I have no idea who you are. I just think the counter point to your point is equally valid and deserves consideration)

I have no idea why people are still on FB. I am only on here and don’t seem to be missing out on anything important.

My original comment implied that the world sent a plague in response to Trump. Having trouble understanding the relevance of your comment. But nice try at a point.

I know reading is hard. You need to group letters to form words and words to form sentences. Take breaks when confused. Use ice or aspirin for any headaches.

I don’t think you can think of it as some sort of logical plan. It’s a bug, not a feature, of capitalism. What you are describing is the inevitable end of a completely free market with no regulation. The strong (economically) keep taking from the weak until we have the situation you are describing. From there the next step is dependent upon whether the weak form a cohesive identity and seize power (revolution) or stay fractured around smaller identity cleavages (race, religion, gender, etc) and are subjugated.

Per the CDC

“January 20, 2020

CDC reports the first laboratory-confirmed case of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus in the U.S. from samples taken on January 18 in Washington state and on the same day activates its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to respond to the emerging outbreak.“

I guess the first time around the world was just as surprised that there were enough morons to elect him. This time the world was more on the ball.

How does the thoughts and prayers contingent not recognize that every time Trump takes office the world sends a plague? Isn’t that in their handbook as being significant?
