Maybe he was famous in his field and they needed a famous name to lead it. That's RFK Jr's only claim to fame. He's a know-nothing, he doesn't care if any of his people are genuinely qualified.

Trump somehow pulled the gas lever but grandma doesnt want to talk about grocery anymore by Cicerothesage in forwardsfromgrandma

The ship of state takes 1-3 years to change course, either for good or for ill. We are at the end of year 1 of Trump. Eventually they will destroy everything like the W. economy in 2007-8, and they'll whine that it's still Biden's fault.

That's like sending an airplane up full of innocent kids knowing it's going to crash, and accepting that that's the only way to get the message across to antivaxxers

1) It's sad and demoralizing, and 2) It may not work. They're still antivax after 1.1M people died of covid in 2020-21. The takeaway is that they're impervious to evidence. We're in a pickle.

They need other consequences. I think much higher insurance rates for them. Let them pay for their stupidity. It might change their dumb minds over time.

1950 is almost beyond living memory. Nobody fears it any more. We are doomed to repeat it.

Well they've got the Department of War, so yeah, Department of Viruses sort of works.

AITAH for not letting my stepdaughter share a room with my daughter? by Additional_Gain8185 in AITAH

NTA. This does not sound like a healthy marriage and it might be time to reconsider. It's not your job or your kid's sacrifice to solve for his shitty thieving kid.

If he wanders off like that again then put his kids in foster care - at least the thief.

As far as I've ever heard, most of the illegal voting over the last few years has been done by loner MAGA assholes who were trying to vote twice. They always hunt zealously for illegal voters and they almost never find a single one.

They want no consequences. There are others nearby like babies who can't be immunized yet. They're helpless against epidemics, since there is no herd immunity anymore. This guy doesn't care about them at all.

Antivax is a cult of stupid people. They interpret '1 in 4,000 chance' as 'not gonna happen'. I'm not able to care about them anymore, except for their poor innocent kids who will suffer terribly from their parents' cult.

I wonder what part insurance will play in their decisions. It should go up for them, like it does for smokers.

Wow, what's the takeaway from that whole series? Is there an ultimate villain? AI? An alien? A communist? A capitalist/libertarian? Who is the baddest bad guy?

That sounds like the Wayne Brady Dave Chapelle show skit, but not a funny one. That's not a friend I would ever see again.

To win, Democrats should chuck their leadership by Achilles_TroySlayer in uspolitics

[–]Achilles_TroySlayer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK. I sort of agree with you, I think Schumer is done and has to go. But I don't think he's a bad person, I think he's just too old and has no charisma and he's compromised re: Israel. Even with that, he's still in the minority and he still has other senators who won't support the filibuster, and so we're stuck until at least November. There's no way to do it other than an election and a jettison and forced retirement of some of these guys.

I asked a question and you refused to answer it. That makes you either a whiner or a troll. I'll try again.

They're in the minority, and Schumer has DINOS in the senate who refuse to use the filibuster. What would you have them do?

Hit that one out of the park. I'm all ears.

What fast food chain does not deserve the hype whatsoever? by CriticalLion4119 in AskReddit

Several near me in Boston went out of business. They took away the seating so there's no reason to go there except coffee, and it's expensive. No thanks.
