Yes lol, West in this context is less of a direction and more of a political ideological culture
There isn't a general term for the "global south". But when I say Western you know exactly which countries I'm referring too.
South would probably either be "Latin countries" or "Sub Saharan Countries" depending on which side of the globe you're looking at
I'd argue it's always been 10:1, we just have access to all of it at the click of a button, and it's all now recorded - remember how many old wives tales used to get shared around back then?
"Bubblegum stays in your stomach for YEARS!" "Shaving makes your hair come back thicker" "Don't crack your knuckles, it'll give you arthritis!"
And now we have the ability to cast these claims against their opposers, where as before it would've been much more difficult to uncover.
But to your point about believing people with skin in the game, I'd say that's a great idea - if we can keep it decentralized and as open to the public as possible, all at the same time. Pharmaceutical companies have a lot of exemptions from this kind of thing though, we'd need a method for them as well
They wont unless it's a near total monopoly. They're always aiming for 10% gains every year for their investors.
The amount of people who use ad blockers is somewhere around 10% according to some articles, so I'm guessing this ad block push is to scoop up 10% more in ad revenue
I never said you had a problem with religious people, I said I did, but I'm saying my ignorance and trying to view things as black and white is what made me short sighted/ignorant previously. This applies to politics as well.
I'm happy to hear you would ensure everyone has a right to live.
Here it is from the Gov of Canada. The Canadian side of the stats in that article are correct.
Right because injections and washing your hands are comparable.
The "source that told me" was a bit of critical thought and common sense. This was a vaccine with tech we've never used on massive populations before, pushed by political leaders, followed by media outlets and gov leaders trying to paint everyone who questions it as if they're the worst people humanity has to offer. Ofc we need extensive trials for a vaccine like that (or any vaccine), especially when the producers of the vaccine are immune from liability.
Do you remember what informed consent is? If you're injecting stuff into you, without fully understanding what either the virus itself can do, or what the vaccine can do, you're just blindly following people.
It's this same mentality and confusion that lead to our current opioid pandemic. Blind trust in our institutions and leaders
Right, the road won't be so congested, but you have to run on a specific schedule and only go to specific places.
You have to pay for all of this somehow too, be it through fares at a toll or taxed by your gov. It won't be any cheaper running transit. Maybe even more expensive, because they still have to maintain the roads, but now the cost of vehicle repair is on the gov/Corp and not the individual. More tolls or more taxes.
Fair point about Apple. They did also remove the home button and optimized their display further to accommodate that though.
If only it wasn't so proprietary, I could get on the apple train. Still mad about my headphones jacks though.
