Marjorie Taylor Green is only capable of unleashing unhinged tirades. She is a person who only knows conspiracy theories, while thinking she sounds like a normal politician. The fact that she is probably the number 2 politician in the MAGA movement tells you all you need to know about the caliber of MAGA dopes and their total lack of self-awareness.
Scarborough has terrible takes. He bloviates with the best of them and this seems like another off-the-cuff rambling in hopes of something he wishes were true based on the thinnest pretext.
Him and his wife kissed the ring after the election. Networks at work, keeping people calm. They want you to think this will blow over, don’t go protest, Trump will stop with all this Elon shit any minute now… just let the snowball grow and keep thinking it’ll get smaller as it rolls.
It’s only an anecdote, but I was raised in a very white town and watched a ton of TV growing up. I was a political nerd in elementary school. Needless to say, I was very cool…
Anyways. When I left my small town I discovered that much of what I learned from my parents, my community, and the TV was very, very racist. If you don’t have a lot of minorities, and the only information is coming from racist, you just don’t know better. I was lucky to end up around a lot of minorities who helped me get past my bigotry, which they had no obligation to do, they were just cool people like that.
In short, if you don’t know a lot of black, brown, gay, or trans people, they become a blank canvas for bad actors.
It’s how the Tea Party did it. They had annoying fuckers everywhere with booths (or just a table and a chair). One was about NASA being a huge waste of money. I even wasted my time and explained why that was the dumbest agency to go after (time wasted because they weren’t listening). But after America elected their first black president, these mother fuckers were pissed and letting everyone know it.
I really hope we do our own Tea Party and primary all these good-for-nothing, nazi-enabling, out-of-touch Dems. I suggest replacing all Democratic Representatives with homeless people. Those are some people with the some experience with how our systems really work.
I think the Cybertruck is perfect. Nothing encapsulates the disconnect of the market to meet essential needs of the many, replaced by icons void of any utility to sate the appetites of the few.
Old Amazon Kindle was amazing, I read tons of books on it. New Kindle was so clunky to get books on it, set up different accounts, constantly suspicious you were up to something. A totally non-intuitive piece of shit. Amazon design has all the charm of their warehouses.
On one hand I hate that reckless moves Trump is making and the terrible repercussions that they don’t give a shit about. On the other hand, American “help” often comes at ludicrous costs for those receiving it. It’s like all those “free” Apple computers given to classrooms, that also helped Apple become one of the most powerful corporations of all time.
America has praised capitalism as the ultimate good, money as the supreme truth and now the world gets to see the end result of people who follow this myopic gospel: a country ran by paid-off puppets by those who own it all.
I hope people don’t target allies. Brand loyalty and brand avoidance are just ways of convincing people that ethical consumption is the way to affect change. If that was true, America would be the number one recycler in the world, with the cleanest air and cleanest rivers. Letting people decide what is best with their wallets is a joke. Force these corporations to heel, we do not need to make good choices with our money, we need to use government agencies to remove all the terrible options.
It’s really hard to ‘hide evidence’ in your comparison. No, sorry, that’s stupid. Even Trump can hide evidence, it’s a baby skill. The shabbiness of Chinese industry is by state mandate to quickly scale up China in a short amount of time. Am I racist for saying the Afghani Space Program may not be doing well?
I think the biggest problem in this whole debacle is the utter opaqueness offered by China when trying to get to the source. Is this China’s fault? Well hold on. While this accident may have happened in China, China’s lax attitude toward safety precautions are an open secret. It’s much like the shady labor practices in, well China for one, that we turn a blind eye to. Why?Because it’s cheaper. So partly it is the unevenly applied and audited safety standards. If people are giving China research money, then those labs should be held to an international standard.
Arguing there is no evidence is extremely disingenuous when Chinese government hid most of it. One should be careful about saying “There is no evidence.” too confidently. At a certain point it sounds like an accomplishment and not a result.
