They'll find bootlickers. Lawyers know what they're doing.

Good and get it to them fast before republicans block it somehow.

Haha puppy dog feet.

Toilet but! Cats past here!

Net worth, not income.

All net worth including stocks, property, etc.

So just curious, if there's actual treason occurring by our officially elected president with a foreign adversary, who fixes this? The military? Or what? Seriously curious.

Yeah and it's because of big business and lobbying etc.

Capitalism so fucking stupid. Capitalism is why we can't have nice things lol.

We buy cheap shit that breaks and doesn't last long because if it was actually high quality and long lasting, the company wouldn't make enough profit to stay in business!

A new cheaper, healthier, and waaaay more efficient and ethical method to provide protein to people... no way!

Capitalism blows chunks.

Let's hope they live in fear. Let's hope they are never comfortable, even in their mansions and yachts.

I would speculate that if the economy gets worse, recession, job losses, etc., more people might be in a position where they have nothing left to lose.

It's been reported a lot that more people are reclusive and isolated, less relationships and people having kids. Sure people could just commit suicide, but some might want to go out with a bang.

Seems like we have the potential for this recipe or perfect storm. All depends on how bad things get in the future though. Bread and circuses.

Supposedly they taste like bacon.

I love bacon and I'm famished

The fact that trump was elected, or even close to it. And musk is now in the position he's in, just makes it feel like our society is falling apart. Like death throes, or the calm before the storm.

This all really feels like societal collapse. I hope I'm wrong.

I fucking hate python. Fuck your stupid tabs/spaces bullshit.

Aside from the musk debacle, it's fun to think about a brand new generation of car enthusiasts hacking and customizing EVs similar to all the current "car guys" are with ICs. I hope it takes off.

Honest answer: I have absolutely no idea. I didn't propose a solution per se, other than "change it drastically". And more than just critical thinking skills.

The most important thing is we need a society where the people in power and decision making actually desire this. Our power structures don't want this, as we all know. Keeping us dumb and uninformed, makes us easier to manipulate and control, and do the low paying jobs nobody really wants. Without this we can't even think about major change. Our purpose to "produce and consume" is the foundation for the billionaires wealth. 

I don't have any answer on how to teach critical thinking specifically, we need smart people (altruistic, not power seeking or other agendas) to help architect this. All I know is anyone leaving k-12 should graduate with very good critical thinking skills as well as be scientifically literate, reading/writing, other necessities... Our current public education system just seems like an indoctrination to show up to a building 5 days a week to do boring monotonous tasks. My friends and I hated school, and having friends at a young age only made it bearable. Ironically, I and many people love to learn many different topics. I had to learn about this outside of school, how does that make sense? And I'm talking STEM related stuff! Things that are valuable to the capitalism machine!

How about we also emphasize finding individuals' passions and natural skills, and helping them pursue them earlier, in addition to necessities.

I'd love to see some pretty drastic and crazy structural changes as well: imaging removing time as the fixed variable for learning. If you want to learn calculus, you're going to learn the entire curriculum. Instead of getting a B "learning" 80% of the material on the test, you aren't done until you master all of it. You get an A if you do it in 6 weeks. B if 10 weeks, etc. If you still haven't mastered it in a year, you probably should come to the conclusion you're not going to be a mathematician and choose something else... I love this idea but recognize how difficult it would be, how would it even work? This fixed time deadline nonsense is a capitalism thing. I hate it.

None of this matters though unless we get control. We need control first before even thinking about implementation and change.

MUTATION!!!

Yeah fair enough.

The fucking solution is to get your family off of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok etc. it is a cancer and essentially hacks their brain.

What you're implying here is that people aren't smart enough to navigate social media intelligently, without being duped by propaganda and group think, yet you are.

Protecting dumb people by hiding them from social media, is a bad fix for a symptom of other major problems. Fixing symptoms like this is never a good solution.

What we need is education massively overhauled, to the point it would be unrecognizable to what we have today. People should have the critical thinking skills and educational background to laugh there ass off and shrug off right wing propaganda, and never let it take hold.

This is a much bigger problem, and we're losing significantly, but it's what should be discussed instead of just hiding social media from people.

Eh, I don't think this is the best solution.

The assumption is as soon as you turn 17 you're smart enough and have the critical thinking skills to navigate social media without it negatively affecting you? Kinda dumb.

There could be an argument that at least try to block it while young peoples brains are still developing, maybe there's benefit in that.

Older people than 16 are still duped by propaganda, and become addicted to social media, and all the negative consequences.

What we need is regulation imo. Good, smart, progressive, altruistic regulation that is for the benefit of all. Ain't gonna happen though, because sOcIaLiSm and "mUh FrEeDoMs".
