you think they'd understand
You give them too much credit. Typical USians do not reflect on these things whatsoever, most only consider how things affect them personally. Such a strong culture of individualism does not breed empathy.
Hell, it even leaves many of them incapable of requesting or accepting help from others who are willing and even offering to help.
Don't forget, the reason those jobs are <32 hours is because they don't want to pay benefits and benefit from your feelings of insecurity in terms of employment and wages. If you feel that, you're more likely to do things employees who feel secure at work would balk at even if it's as simple as taking extra shifts at a moment's notice.
Can confirm. Am cross-pooping as I type.
The US Congress banned NASA from using federal money in collaborations with China without explicit approval because they were worried about Chinese missile improvements.
It's just more Red Scare action. China has developed a very robust IP system with stronger protections and a dedicated court just for IP issues. Meanwhile, many companies sign technology transfer agreements with China in exchange for their help with manufacturing. The issue usually ends up becoming one that is purely along racist (the Chinese couldn't make this technology with us) and political lines (we need to fight the evil commies) rather than reality.
This particular instance was one of a private satellite company who worked with China and then a US senator said this was used to improve Chinese ballistic missiles. I haven't looked into that in depth to see if it has any merit, but I know they can't just steal the technology and suspect there's more to the story than we see on the surface.
Or just a Magneto movie where he doesn't just randomly decide to start murdering someone or betraying everyone around him because "he only knows vengeance" or some other bullshit to remind you he's supposed to be the bad guy.
Seriously, he'll be strategic, logical, and the most insightful character throughout most of each movie and then to balance that out, they need to make him throw all of it away to do something overtly evil that deviates from his plan or the plan suddenly has a twist that involves someone's death with little to no good justification. Why? Because he's supposed to be the baddie.
For once, just drop the act and let us have a cool Magneto that makes sense and doesn't do deranged shit. Idgaf if he's meant to be the villain or an antagonist, everything he does is more interesting than the tired platitudes Prof X and crew give us. The plot always ends up the exact same. In Dark Phoenix and even for a bit in Apocalypse they decided to ease up on him and let Magneto just be cool, but they still had to add enhinged, murderous rage scenes and spontaneous moments of betrayal that are otherwise completely inconsistent with his character and goals.
We don't need a clear black and white, good vs evil story.
Yeah, Hasan would be fun, but if I really wanted a chaotic show, let's get BadEmpanada and Trump on a call together. Better yet, let them go tweet for tat.
Typical. You post a reasonable response and get a bunch of ad-pilled shit takes:
"But will you eat shit if I put a little chocolate on it?"
"If you don't eat shit, you don't deserve to ~~interact with the internet~~ eat."
"Maybe if you pay them a little money, they'll stop trying to serve you shit?"
Advertisers contribute nothing of value to our society and contribute little of value to even the companies they serve. Let them burn. Every action they take to "serve" me ads will be met with an equal counteraction.
We deserve to live a life without being constantly bombarded with messages telling us to buy, buy, buy! This significantly decreases our quality of life and is endemic within our entire society. What the hell are all of you who defend advertisers thinking?
Give them an inch and they will take a mile. It definitely won't be the first time.
Nah, it's almost as if proving a treatment is "safe and effective" is the entire purpose of a phase ii clinical trial.
If you want pharmaceutical conspiracies to chase, follow the money. The point at which they are trying to "program" you is when the drug hits the market and commercials come out. It's not that these products are ineffective at this point, just that they will do just about anything to capitalize on them.
Pharmaceutical companies are by no means clean and trustworthy, but your conspiracy is literally just a description of marketing and advertising, which I agree is a plague upon our society.
No, because they are obviously smarter and betterer at running things than us poors or else they wouldn't be so very rich.
The death and destruction they reap is not real to them because they conveniently never have to see it or have reality put their beliefs to question.
Imperialism is a result of capitalism...
When the resources of your home country are insufficient to feed the need for constant growth of profits, the resources of other people begin to look attractive. It's just a matter of convincing your people that it's worth it to go take those other people's resources. Its easier to convince your people to exploit other people if you have dehumanized the other people, so you revert to racism and other tactics of making the others look like barbarians. Then you go make colonies and suppress the native population while exploiting them for labor and resources.
Fascism is imperialism turned inward...
Either the flow of resources from your colonies are insufficient to feed your need for the continual growth of profits or you don't have the means to colonize far away lands, so the resources of countries closer to home begin looking very attractive. Its easier to suppress people at home first, so you turn that imperialist oppression on for a portion of your population at home, exploiting them more than other parts of your population. This doesn't satisfy your needs for more resources for long, so you continue to exploit your own people more and expand the definition of who gets to suffer the imperialist oppression.
When your population can no longer satisfy your needs for continued growth of profits, you turn that imperialism on countries nearby. This process is why people say fascism is imperialism turned inward.
More food for thought...
Some argue this process is why Hitler and the Third Reich are looked on as the ultimate evil. The Nazis took imperialist oppression, a tool that every European country had historically only used on people in far away lands where the culture and the way the people looked was strange to the people at home and they turned that imperialist oppression on the white populations of Europe. Europeans finally began to experience the horrors they had been inflicting on the rest of the world for centuries.
They published a viable method for detecting stealth vehicles using satellites in the last few months.
