I was brainwashed as a child to fear Russia and China because they were "dirty Commies". That fear doesn't suddenly vanish overnight, I'm sorry to say. However, when they're right, they're right. The US government has brainwashed its youth into thinking we're number one, and that makes us stupidly dangerous. Now that the Educational Dept is being dismantled expect more of this arrogant ignorance.

It’s sad that the ignorant of the USA constantly repeat the ‘number 1’ anthem, when a simple google search will reveal that it lags behind most countries in most of the important metrics, including health care, education and workers rights. It has money (ranks about tenth in the world) and possibly the strongest military- in most other respects it barely scrapes above ‘third world’ status. Perhaps if they spent even a small fraction of the money they use for arms on education and healthcare, they wouldn’t be in such a dire situation.

I have to agree with him. We've been so blindsided by our politicians' mantra that America is 1st in the world. We're not, probably never have been. We've been exporting our mass killings to the rest of the world. Now that's something, being 1st in the world in sending mass killings out there for everyone else to experience. Way to go, U.S.A.

Nice burn. Although I wouldn't brag about COVID if I were China, considering how they handled it ( and basically stopped reporting deaths early on)

...and likely leaked from a biolab in Wuhan, China due to mismanagement. Although America, under the moronic leadership of the orange idiot first round, did handle the Covid-19 pandemic extremely poorly to put it mildly.

But no matter what sort of lip service they give, the Orange one & affiliates are sabotaging the country. Weakening the military, cancelling R&D contracts, both defense-related and non-defense-related, blocking medical and other research and generally dumbing down the populace. China already has their 6th-gen fighter, the U.S. has a "big, beautiful" promise. Like vaporware. The brain drain (from US to Europe and Asia) has already started. I wonder how long it will take, and even if it's possible, to reverse the adverse changes.

Who Ever Runs That Station Is Dumb
If social media has done anything, it's blown the lid off our collective cluelessness. People used to be able to say the most eyebrow-raising, head-scratching things in the privacy of their own living rooms. Now, with a megaphone to the whole world in every pocket, we are treated to some plain jaw-dropping lack of common sense.
Take the old "reply-all" email disaster, now multiplied a million times. Someone makes a simple inquiry on an open posting ("Does anyone know a good plumber?") and the comment stream blows up with everything from government-conspiracy theories around water pipes to a lengthy treatise on how Bluetooth faucets will spell the doom of civilization.

They're practically Shakespearean in their lack of ability to construct a well-formatted sentence, and yet they're certain that they're the ones who are redefining history. Of course, we can't rule out the viral misinformation buffet.

That Escalated Quickly
It's like we're watching a virtual theme park of gullibility, where each click-bait billboard leads you deeper into the rabbit hole of "I read it on the internet, so it has to be true." Social media also does a great job of revealing the armchair philosophy grandstanding habits. A little weather event is "evidence" that the government is running hidden mind-control weather balloons; a tweet by a celebrity is an existential breakdown regarding human morals and what it says about them.

America Is The Facepalm Again… Aren’t We Always These Days?
It's as if all the mundane little aspects of life are a hidden puzzle that only the boldest Reddit detectives are brave enough to decipher. But for every face-palm, there's something perversely comedic about it. Watching someone attempt to spin this as a sign of intellectual superiority to eat pizza crusts first might make you cringe, but it's also a reminder that we're all human, and that a healthy dose of humility is just what the doctor ordered. And where else are you ever going to see 17 different versions on whether or not cereal is a soup?

So yes, social media lays bare the fact that we’re all capable of looking pretty oblivious sometimes.

Some people always think they know better. This is not relate to vaccines at all but - I’m in marketing and I’m constantly arguing with sales about what they think we should do. They want me to send weekly marketing emails and 2x a week text blasts and do nothing but sales videos and send tons of mail. I know that literally just písses people off and loses email subs and followers and makes people dislike us and associate us with being desperate and annoying 😂 but do they believe me, the marketing professional who went to school for this? Noooooope.

Some US cities are trying out "tiny home" villages that seem to be helping. They have communal toilets/showers and food. But they also bring in people to work with the inhabitants to get jobs and find stable housing. A couple decades ago I used to stop and talk with a homeless guy when I saw him. He had family across the river, and explained that he preferred being homeless. It was a northern city so winters must have been rough. It was very enlightening to hear it from his POV.

Nicole Weymann 6 months ago (edited)
The (to me) most perverse part is that NONE of the top 5% will even notice, day to day, how much more money they'll have, while the others (poorest 20% especially) will have to start economising even more. Also: if the bottom 20% had $1000 more per month they'd immedialtely spend most of it (on "fun stuff" like groceries, rent, renovations, school equipment, etc), funnelling it all back into the economy - while the top 5%'s money will not change anything. Not for the receivers, and not for society (because even if the top 1% spend it all it's still WAY less money than the collective low 20s would spend, and because they'd spend it on the small slice of the over saturated luxury market instead of essentials, where it would benefit locals nation wide). Money needs to flow to create wealth - stagnant money only creates oligarch cesspits.
