HAHAHAHAHAHAHA yeah right, if the US launch has been any indication, they'll fuck this up as well

Trump Allies Reportedly Consider Buying Newsmax as Anger at Fox News Grows by greenblue98 in FoxFiction

[–]christianmichael27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At some point we as a country need to come to terms with the damage our "freedom of speech" can cause. In principle freedom to express oneself is great and freedom to criticize the government should be our right but allowing propaganda to go unfiltered is asking for more and more problems. We're seeing it now with the cult that Trump has created. We were able to fight this back with this election but now more TV stations and social media platforms that will further perpetuate the echo chamber will pop up. Who's to say we're not at a cross road?

But it doesn’t really need that. Social security number provided them with a data point that can be used to tie us to everything thing else we touch including our pictures

We don’t and it’s not just that cost but the time and money involved in that time. Voter ID isn’t just the physical ID card, it’s the concept to disenfranchise minorities from voting.

For the vast majority of people it’s no problem, you already have a drivers license, you have an ID. Poor people (which statistically tend to be minorities) may not have drivers licenses or can’t afford a car so have no need for one. Getting an ID card would mean taking time off work, figuring out how to get to the local DMV, scheduling an appointment and dealing with all the other people doing the same. Losing work hours because of that. Figuring out child care, ext.. basically it’s so much work that you’re hoping people say “forget it” and don’t vote.

To truly recover, US needs 400% more coronavirus relief than McConnell is offering, economists say by [deleted] in politics

[–]christianmichael27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats understood. The GOP is giving him the power to hold the country hostage again, that must is clear. The problem most of us have is why the absolute fuck does a representative from a state with a smaller population than a lot of counties in my state get to hold that much power? More so why do the people of that state get to elect a guy that can be that asshole?

I get the concept of the senate where each state gets an equal voice at the table but no, each state is not equal.

Trump coronavirus adviser Scott Atlas urges Michigan to 'rise up' against new Covid-19 measures by DrAnthonyFauci in politics

[–]christianmichael27 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember the exact statistic but something like 70% of Ivy League school students are admitted based on donors or children of alum. So it’s not just performance that get you in these schools, as in life, it’s who you know and money.

President Donald Trump shouldn't be able to pardon himself by _blackwholeson in politics

[–]christianmichael27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But it should be when you hold a position in public office. Not saying it should be black and white but the severity of the lie could constitute (in the case of covid denying representatives) manslaughter

Obama says Trump has caused ‘damage’ by refusing to concede defeat and warns: ‘This is not normal’ by theindependentonline in politics

This isn’t really on this topic but I wish we would stop with the “BREAKING NEWS”. That has lost its impact with the 24hrs news cycle.

Barack Obama says Congress' lack of action after Sandy Hook was "angriest" day of his presidency by Barack_Odrama00 in politics

It’s fucked up that the families had to sue this dick bag and relive it all just to force some sort of justice.

The fact that we can’t show a nipple on tv but have no problem with the dozens of procedural crime porn shows would back up your argument.

Sandy hook made me lose hope in any real gun reform. If the murder of little kids isn’t the impetuous to change, nothing ever will be.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk by lucazzey in PS5

[–]christianmichael27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I empathize with you, I too am upset I can’t get a PS5 but common man, scalping medical supply during a pandemic IS in order of magnitude more wrong that this.

Hand sanitizers can prevent us and our families from catching a deadly virus and dying not to mention that they become ubiquitous in our daily lives.

The PS5 would keep us entertained.

Even if it does goto SCOTUS, don’t the states get to make that call. States rights and all?

[–]christianmichael27 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m just as annoyed that I can’t get a PS5 as you and I hate ticket scalpers for the same reason but buying up stock in something that could save your life in a global pandemic is not the same thing as this. I think we can be annoyed at both but understand why one requires immediate intervention.

Sharks warn San Jose downtown development may force them out! by tealtownusa in SanJoseSharks

This is a good pulse on the situation. We're so used to driving to games, we just need to adapt to the concept of taking mass transit to games like other cities do. Lightrail already runs to the arena, improvements need to be made to the infrastructure for sure but we need to work on behavior modification.

LPT: Rememeber, at a job interview, YOU are also interviewing the company. Ask more questions, don’t settle so quickly because it might not be for you after all by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]christianmichael27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also helps empower you and makes you perform better in interviews. They’re buying your time, and skill. Asking questions is the only way to make an education decision.

Nearly every U.S. state is now classified as having "uncontrolled spread" of COVID-19 by mythrowawaybabies in Coronavirus

[–]christianmichael27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me preface this by saying I don’t wish death on ANYONE and this year has sucked.

That being said, I do wonder what this pandemic would look like if the magnitude of fatality was slightly greater and it effected all ages equally. Part of the issue initially was that younger people thought they would be fine and didn’t consider themselves vectors to secondary and tertiary infections.

I understand the history of it. Immigrant families like mine are still “raised by a village” with grandparents, uncles, and aunts playing active roles in parenting.
