Small things like that
Privacy rights, how to combat misinformation, how to protect children while allowing adults the freedom to choose, how to manage our time when it seems like more technology just takes up more of our time. How to arrange an economy where stocks are bought and sold automatically by computers. How to keep an entire population employed when all anyone seems to want is more ai slop and not new tech that actually helps us.
I make fun of libertarianism cause anyone I talk to who is a self proclaimed libertarian just tells me we should ignore of these problems and it’ll work itself out, which is kind of what they’re saying about housing here, remove the red tape and it’ll work itself out. Its a good thing our tumor suppressor genes aren’t libertarian.

It wasn’t an excuse, but an observation from having worked in biomedical labs in college.
It is the researchers fault, but they’re also just doing what gets them the most funding for the least amount of work.
The problem here is they do studies on only men, and then in the paper day “it works for humans” when that is a lie. They’re lying and thats somehow acceptable.

You’d get banned so fast your employer would never know.On the old days of the internet the mods would ban your ass for suggesting that we should start murdering anyone at all.

I have heard the term post scarcity, it was something that I heard before the pandemic, but since the pandemic everyone in those circles using that term kinda learned that our society is way more fragile than they thought and I haven’t heard anyone seriously consider adjusting to a post scarcity economy since then.

They’re in this “no please we didn’t have anything to do with this we’re loyal to the empire and we thought he was too” thing going on and for me thats been the most difficult to watch.
That family isn’t scared of liberals. They’re scared of the government they claim to support.

Right now the focus is on a balance between what food can travel the longest distances and stay edible and what food tastes the best. Those are the only two things driving the entire way Americans feed ourselves.
What we would have to do is instead subsidize locally produced highly nutritious food. Its a total 180 from the past like, 100 years of food innovation.

So like, obviously the point isn’t to collect tax money. Cause theres an easy way to do that.

But I think a lot of this money was leaving the country totally untaxed.

The reason we subsidize this drug and not literally anything else that would actually help people long term is because they’re profiting off the obesity epidemic.
I agree here, and Ive gotten pretty far with the message that, yeah the left kinda sucks because its a voter base of almost entirely city dwelling folk who haven’t ever actually shot a deer or even been on a dirt bike, but Trump is a scam artist hell bent on punishing specific groups of people and those characteristics make for a shitty president
Cause you don’t have to support the left. I barely support the left. But don’t support Trump, he sucks.
