Definitely. I knew one guy who was an EMT. He was very casual about it unless he was drinking.

Probably not but it would be funny.

I say we let him build up a huge satellite fleet and then force him to sell a huge chunk of it under antitrust law.

They just need to try and land on one, that’s the trick.

I judge it by the fact that young people tend to blame their elders for the problems in the world. The only way to really know what will happen is to wait and see I suppose!

Lol, send my kids to another country? Most of us here live paycheck to paycheck. Real talk? I took my kid out of school. Besides the threats of violence, public school in the US is a joke. I was homeschooled and I still ended up better educated than most people I know my age, without even really trying…

I vote Democrat down the line, what other suggestions do you have in mind?

You won’t, you’re all perfect of course! All the best commercials tell you so, to say nothing of the most reliable source, one another!

Nice theory, but as the parent of a teenager, younger generations don’t tend to think highly of their elders no matter what. It’s kind of human nature. I predict that Millennials and Gen Z will absolutely be disliked by the generations afterwards, just as Boomers and Gen X are disliked by Millennials and Gen Z. For that matter, love Gen Z all you want, Millennials, just don’t expect it to return the favor. Every generation thinks it’s better than the ones that came before. Ever heard of hippies? Yeah, they were gonna save the world from everyone over 30. Now we just call them Boomers.

Ooh, another low-effort America bashing post. Bonus for joking about murdered kids. Slow clap, very impressive.

Genuinely curious, this isn’t snark, what do you suggest in the US that’s better than the NY Times? I mean, NPR, of course, but I can’t really detect much of a difference between the two.

Yeah, a bunch of them were Covid deniers who ran to the hospitals when they got sick and clogged them up for responsible people. Buncha faithless hypocrites, just stay home and follow God’s Plan…

In my experience, someone who claims to be in the middle is actually on the right but has miraculously realized that makes them an asshole in today’s political climate so they pretend to be “in the middle”.

Anyone remember Gattaca? Terrible movie.

Just wait until we find out what the US military has.

I hope you’re right. Something about the scope and type of change we’re seeing here feels quite different. It can be mistake too to assume that things will go the way they usually have. I wouldn’t advise anyone to be complacent. We had to have something close to a second civil war in the US to get things like an 8 hour day.

It’s the one problem with denying reality. Reality doesn’t care. I just didn’t expect the US legal system to be the place where the rubber met the road. Honestly I thought it would take physical violence, unfortunately. Although our legal system ain’t perfect, it’s a pleasant surprise.

I thought it was only seven "na"s.

I hereby declare that I’m downvoting all of you.

Signed,

Me

Good to know. Hopefully sticking with my current carrier works…
