West coast gets 6 senators.
The 4 least populous states on the east coast are Maine, Rhode Island, Delaware, and New Hampshire. They get 8 senators with a fraction of the population.
These states have about 5 million people. California alone has nearly 40 million people
To be fair if California were to join that would nearly double the Canadian population and that’s not even counting the other west coast states.
Assuming equal representation rights those would be some huge changes
Yes it is, the “reality” for 100 years ago was a lie.
Literally 100 years ago was the build up to the great depression. The side was “workers should be able to eat” versus “the workers shouldn’t have rights”
Fast forward 40 years and it was “it’s okay to sit next to black people” vs. “Races should not mix and any attempt to do so should be met with extreme violence”
Lmao, immediately explains how banks work. Also I pay no account fees btw.
Keep everything under your mattress eh?
What are you talking about?
I send someone $25 on zelle, $25 is deducted from my account, and that person receives $25.
How am I paying a fee in that scenario?
Yes I know how banks work so please don’t explain how they make money using my money.
I like how you listed all things that do exist we just lack the will to put it all together.
Like there’s not really anything we need to invent to do a lot of these things. We just have to put it all together.
It’s not that logistics isn’t technology, it is, but we already possess it. Like you said we’re willing to implement it for profit, but we lack the will to implement it for these other uses
It’s the technology that goes “beep” the organization and coordination is what I would define as the “will” and that’s what we lack.
I mean we can, we have the tech but not the will.
Unfair, I think the stroke may have harmed his ability to hide his true self
This is slander against horses
The sad thing is we do have the potential to shape a healthier human race. The potential to cure all genetic diseases and have a better future. We have the technology today.
Unfortunately we cannot be trusted to use it. It will 100% be used to target minorities and harm people to create something racists ideal. It’s kinda sad
Yeah these days it’s just altering in vitro. We have the tech, but we are rightfully frightened by it. It’s hard to deploy in a way that it does good and is not abused
I mean there are some options for dealing with that.
A. Early monitoring in childhood followed by extensive therapy
B. Eugenics if a genetic link is identified (least savory option and likely not possible)
C. Rebuild our social circles and communities
To expand on C, I think a lot of what you’re identifying as narcissistic behavior or sociopathy is actually caused by the destruction of our communities. The way our society is built it rewards anti-social action with money and it’s cold and depersonalized. It’s easy as a upper executive to fire 500 people you’ve never once met and you will never meet. You don’t have to know them beyond a few spreadsheets of data. People will absolve themselves of personal responsibility and refer to the financial aspects. Additionally, our communities have been destroyed. The addition of the nuclear family structure encourages you to provide as much as possible to as few individuals instead of valuing extended family and community. Plus in some places in the world it is possible to go days or weeks without ever interacting with members of your community.
Well I did instruct to ask a racist specifically
I can’t even imagine how fucking stupid this looks to Muslims who think God forbids
Truthfully it probably doesn’t matter to them that much. They are told not to eat pork because it is unclean. Why care if someone else does it? It’s not like it’s a sacred animal they were commanded not to eat. I think that’s a big difference
Ask a racist to tell you what a Muslim looks like. If they describe a person they’ve attached it to race. If they answer that it is a religion and not a race congrats you found the world’s smartest racist
If it makes you feel better this would be an unliveable hell hole without AC. The American south is no joke.
Basically there’s 3 to 4 months every year where if you’re outside for more than 5 minutes you’re drenched in sweat.
Look up the definition of authoritarianism. Bombing other countries is not the defining feature of an authoritarian government.
