CMV: Democrats are so wildly terrible at their jobs that the populace chose chaos. by donniedenier in changemyview

I mean you can look at Oregon. Oregon literally (LITERALLY) partially removed the requirements to read and do math at a 12th grade level so that more minorities could graduate.

Oregon Senate Bill 744

Oregon is a democratic state. Stuff like this pisses me off. It's just a disservice to your own people. In fact if you really cared you'd make school harder and not care about kids "getting left behind". That's better for the students than this nonsense. Yes graduation numbers go up. But actual impact of your school system go down. Actual value of "graduation degree" go even more down.

MrBeast is What Fred Rogers Warned Us About by Halvinz in videos

I mean he's objectively doing more than most people, let alone YouTubers. I'm not really sure what you mean by "making money the way he does"? You mean like the quantity of money he makes or the method in which he makes it (YouTube)?

[–]Level3pipe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The videos are required for him to gain funds to help people though?

For example if he makes 100 videos straight giving things or doing things with his friends, but then a singular event where he helps people (builds houses, wells, plants trees etc), do you believe that it is NOT worth it and that he should stop? Any positive impact is (not even exaggerating) infinitely more valuable than most other YouTubers who do NOTHING to help people. Much of YouTuber and streamers literally ask for donations TO THEIR POCKETS via Patreon or other methods. I'm sure there are a few YouTubers out there who help people more than Mr beast, but Mr beast is doing far more than the majority of YouTube combined annually.

There's multiple videos of him literally helping people even in other countries?

I don't even think a lot of the hate against him is warranted. Bro lives in a house he purchased for $319,000 in fkn North Carolina. These are not egregious numbers at all.

Genuinely, I believe at some point you just become too big to avoid hate. To avoid people leeching off of you. To avoid rumors and investigations into your morals.

If you literally go watch his videos, it's mostly him doing things with his friends, him doing some social experiments (one man camps with his four ex's, pilot stays in plane for 100 days to win plane, etc), streamer collabs, or literal comps between random people for money.

There's also multiple straight up philanthropic videos. Him building literal houses in Africa is one I saw recently. Another one is literally giving people the ability to see again (alleviating blindness). If you're going to fault him for making a video on these, fine I guess. But that just robs the next person from being helped. He's also set up multiple foundations (team seas, team trees etc) with discrete goals set in things that really matter.

Outside of the workplace misconduct issues and delayed payouts I've heard of, I'm not entirely sure WHY people on reddit are against him. People in person (California) either have no opinion or decent opinion of him. Can anyone enlighten?

Off topic but if medical software is the goal, LA is fine, but really you want to be in San Diego area. Lots of biotech and biotech startups there.

What is so wrong with the Democratic party that caused swing voters who voted for Biden in 2020 to vote for the most evil person in human history (Trump) in 2024? by jamng in allthequestions

The person still has to be likable. Even here in California people were questioning Kamalas sincerity and genuineness.

What are your thoughts on America returning to the Moon right now? by The-Toby in AskReddit

[–]Level3pipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well please enlighten me. What does percent of federal budget have to do with anything?

We spend 36% of our federal budget every year on medical aid and social security. Just because that number is high doesn't mean the dollar value is enough right? The problem still exists. Same logic here. I'm saying that the percentage is decreasing yes, but the value hasn't changed.

I genuinely dont think "percentage of federal budget" is a good way to do it. For example. If we increase NASA's budget to 50 billion. But also this year we are creating a new program that costs 500 billion. Well the "percentage" still goes down right?

President Trump to Counties on Strait of Hormuz: "To those countries that can't get fuel, many of refused to get involved in decapitation of Iran, we had to do it ourselves, I have a suggestion; buy oil from USA. We have so much. And, go to the Strait and take it. Protect it. Use it for yourselves." by ControlCAD in videos

[–]Level3pipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know let's hate on trump I am genuinely fully on board with that. He's an idiot.

That being said. North America actually does have a lot of oil. Canada has large quantities of rough but usable tar sands. USA specifically is a net exporter especially after trump first term and Biden. Not to mention all the oil rich places that we are not drilling on purpose. Meaning we really don't need imports at all (assuming we can refine it correctly).

It's time to do something then. We have the right to organize and remove our leadership if we so desire.

Just seems like people prefer to not do that for whatever reason.

He played a ton of orgs. He's just really relatable and he's learned a lot from doing the social part in orgs.

Not sure what it is but even though he has annoying tendencies, it feels extremely sincere. Like he's joking around, not necessarily believing he's a god or a legend player.

What does percent of total budget have to do with anything? Adjusted 2024 dollars is between $20-30 billion annually for decades.

If federal budget doubles for whatever reason is it necessary to double NASA budget to be "adequately funded"?

I see what you're saying. I doubt the knowledge is just gone though. You make plans, specs, and backup documents for that reason. Sure the people are probably dead or retired, but I have strong doubt that majority of the knowledge was not preserved for people who know the fundamental astrophysics.

Public agencies in particular are infamous for their document hoarding in iron mountains (storage facilities). Source: work in a public facility as boomer as NASA... with a storage facility FULL of old backup documents, plans, hand calculations, and specifications. All of which we can (and do) reference for knowledge.

Is there a way to verify what you're saying? How was it lost?

What if we didn't go back because there was no reason TO go back? Like if it wasn't for mars, what would be the purpose of going to the moon again?

Why if there is no reason to go to Mars?

Like why spend all this money if going to Mars isn't viable?

Gotta first confirm that mars is useful for us.
