Lol at some people saying the free market is anti conservative now. The hypocrisy is reaching critical levels.
-
Get rid of 90% of our military then, because the strong, overreaching federal government and its ability to impose broad sweeping taxes is the only way we as a group were able to procure 20 B-2s.

True that. It’s not going to do jack. Moderate dems still have to vote with full up communists. Just like moderate reps will still have to vote with full up Nazis. Ranked choice voting and a transition towards a parliamentary system is the solution. But that would require the nation to admit that the two party system (which is great for those currently in power) isn’t working.

I assume if martial law is attempted to be declared in 2 weeks, 100% of you will totally set aside all partisanship and defend the constitution. Reaction to the events of today - no, nothing to see here. It's just business as usual. It's always been like this. But when it actually matters, we'll care, promise.
-
What's tragic is that military officers on this forum can't see that.

I literally remember this conversation. When you personally liked the post below back in July, it was probably a misclick, right?
-
Many of your guys' primary response to this f&#ed up day is to glaze your eyeballs over and just say "well, dems did bad things too, soooooooo." What was that Ghandi quote? An eye for an eye or something? Who cares, he was probably a lib.

No one's arguing that those BLM rioters are pieces of shit. No one. That's not the point. A key difference between the two is that the president of the United States was not the figurehead, orator, and leader sparking any of those riots.

I understand the Russia impeachment as grasping. But how on earth is this not impeachable?
-
On another note, doesn't look like your guys' guesses about billionaire philanthropy were based very much in reality. https://observer.com/2021/01/billionaires-philanthropy-record-low-2020-bezos-elon-musk/ BUT JEFF BEZOS MAX A TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATION OF $10B TO THE... Bezos Fund.

Terrorism or insurrection charges?
-
Now they are reportedly shooting into the chambers. I seem to recall half of this forum claiming that only antifa/BLM protests were violent. Delusional.
-
I’ll put $10 down on RIFs in the next 2 years.

Can’t say I expected it to happen, but the R party has really imploded these last 2 months. Many of you expected Trump to throw a wrench in traditional politics and he did - he fractured voting confidence and the base for Rs as he tried to burn down the establishment. At the same time, he’s galvanized some more fringe voters to vote dem. It’s funny, because in Nov it was relatively understood that Rs were going to be able to keep the senate if they could just hold themselves together. You can’t argue that you didn’t get what you voted for. Incoming: senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. The mayor’s lost control.

It's a pretty nuanced point. It was never dangerous for Typhoid Mary to make food for herself. But it was dangerous for her to go out and make food for the 53 people she infected.

You're in the wrong thread, but fine. Advocating for a revision of tax structures that have been bad for a majority of Americans, as evidenced by multiple sources that I cited, is not communism. In fact, it was addressed in the framework of capitalist America, and even had precedence in American policy, again, as referenced by my sources. Calling everything you disagree with communism isn't productive for intellectual discourse, but it sure makes you feel morally superior. This is what people look like when they call everything that they don't agree with "communism," even when the policies literally have nothing aligned with that form of government: Also, this isn't relevant to this thread or conversation, so I will not address this again here.
-
Do you have anything of actual value to add to the conversation? Or do you always just resort to baseless name-calling whenever you can't make a valid rebuttal?

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/15/most-brits-just-wont-wear-face-masks-heres-why.html Mask mandates don't work, I agree with that. Because a large portion of people don't follow them anymore. That's why the whole US is going up in flames while we "lockdown." But that doesn't mean masks and lockdowns don't work, whatsoever. Realistically, if you want a good look at what happens when people wear masks and social distance, look at a time when people actually had high compliance: March-May. You'll note that, almost everywhere in the world, cases decreased significantly - that's what happens. Am I saying that is tenable? No. We can't lock down and literally not interact with each other indefinitely. But your guys' arguments and correlation graphs that aren't related are bogus and unscientific.
-
But not in this thread. No thank you.
-
Clearly you don’t know how to read posts.
-
Your graphs fails to address your actual point: what would those curves have looked like if the people who did use masks didn’t? What if literally no one had done anything, would it have been worse?
-
Actually there’s tons. Because you specified practical evidence ONLY, here’s but one example: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.livescience.com/amp/hair-stylists-infected-covid19-face-masks.html If you would like me to get you the scientific evidence, I can do that as well.

A lot of pseudo science in here. @pawnman is right, and it's not apples and oranges. Masks do work, because the virus hasn't been demonstrated to be an aerosol that has to be filtered out at the nm level. They primarily work by blocking large droplets by sick people wearing them and, therefore, not emitting large droplets. Large droplets aren't just emitted from yelling. They're emitted from breathing. They're emitted from talking. They're emitted from existing. You ever gone outside in the cold and "seen your breath?" Those are large droplets. They are emitted ALL THE TIME. Let's establish some facts as of our current understanding: 1) "no study has demonstrated actual clinical evidence of the airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2" 2) "the overwhelming majority of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is via large respiratory droplets as conclusively demonstrated by contact tracing studies, cluster investigations, the lack of infection spread in hospital settings with universal masking protocols and the low estimated R" Source: https://www.pennmedicine.org/updates/blogs/penn-physician-blog/2020/august/airborne-droplet-debate-article 3) Masks that are not N95s very effectively block the vast majority of large droplets. This study that came out shows that simple surgical masks or even single-layer cotton masks are extremely effective at stopping large droplets.

Your point doesn’t make sense. Almost all organizations are already like that. They aren’t single paid single run organizations. The point was the slippery slope fallacy.
