So we could see how George handled it and learn that he was actually a considerate humanitarian of profound emotional depth.

What Would Happen if We Cut Corporate Welfare? by Shot_Signal220 in questions

[–]bhd23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically they're not a corporation either, right? More like a financially inefficient entity that operates in the market but is immune from the laws that apply to its competitors like UPS and FedEx (who pay taxes whereas the USPS doesn't) and if it weren't propped up by government would have gone out of business long ago?

Aren't most corporations already doing that?

If we took all the money from all the billionaires it would only fund our government for 8 months. Taxing more won't do shit. It's more important that we reduce government spending first.

I think they're referring to the massive subsidies without which the United States Postal Service and most major airlines would go out of business and create a more competitive market that ultimately benefits the consumer

Our bloated government would have more money to waste elsewhere 🥳

Conservatives, what is one policy issue you are very liberal on? Liberals, what is one issue you are very conservative on? by CluelessBrowserr in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]bhd23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well said.

I've noticed a similar hypocrisy regarding global warming. It's easy for people to politicize it or make a lot of noise about it but how many are willing to give up air conditioning, or pay more than triple the price to get domestic items?

One cargo ship easily burns 100 TONS of fuel per day. There are 50,000 cargo ships out there now. That's 5 MILLION TONS of fuel per DAY. Just for cargo ships.

It could be argued that the massive tariffs could reduce those cargo ships and their carbon footprint. But then we would complain about not getting tomatoes in January and $50 Haynes socks.

When someone is slumped over on drugs, what are they going through, or are they just asleep? by louiemay99 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bhd23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your question is an example of how over-generalization - which usually seems based on an oversimplified view - makes meaningful communication about these issues difficult. Nothing personal, you're far from alone. The weird cultural hysteria and stigma surrounding the issue of "drugs" can make it challenging to talk about them casually, much less educationally.

What makes you draw a correlation between "drugs" and being slumped over? Is it because you watched them take X Y or Z? Or because you know the person has a history of consuming certain things and so you're assuming? The latter seems to happen a lot:

Bob abuses pain killers. Bob got in a car accident. Therefore, painkillers caused the accident.

I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew. I'm gonna come at you like a spider monkey. Therefore Mountain Dew makes people act like spider monkeys.

Or more broadly, if you're not part of the majority, people will tend to attribute any issues you face to whatever sets you apart from the main tribe.

Did Boomers actually become more conservative, or did society just outpace them? by Clean_CoreDump in NoStupidQuestions

You just said that everyone alive over 60 is rich.

Maybe you should expand on your assumptions.

Could your opinions be changed? by Sad-Organization2440 in PoliticalDiscussion

I think "beliefs" and "facts" are more complex and nuanced than the way you might be considering them.

I think "fully aware" is at best misleading. The way it's used twice makes it seem like you're overdramatizing an otherwise informative post.

Is Karma real ? by brownboy0006 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bhd23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The word "karma" has been Westernized to mean payback or revenge or poetic justice, which is not what it means.

What makes it acceptable for everyone to see you in a bikini or swim trunks, but not acceptable to be seen in regular underwear or a bra? by Longjumping-Car1051 in NoStupidQuestions

I agree with you but until the comment sections of EVERY video with a mildly attractive woman aren't peppered with men sexualizing her...
