Now scale it up so it becomes cheaper. Improve the process so it not only becomes unrecognizable compared to the real thing, but even better. Once the process is perfected we could make the texture and flavor perfect every time. Zero contaminants like mercury and micro plastics. We could stop raping our oceans.
Do the same for beef and we can get all the land used for cattle back. Same for chicken, pork, everything...
We could feed the needy... right...? Nope. Capitalism would never feed starving children for free lol.
Some could just be blissfully unaware, only thinking about short term profits. Tax breaks and stock market manipulation stuff. I see this as a decent probability for at least some of the trump sycophants.
Could also be denial. They might actually believe, incorrectly, they're strengthening US power. Who knows what mental gymnastics they're going through.
Eh, how much of this is just blatant stupidity? He's got a lot of dumb-dumbs in his cabinet, and he fires anyone who questions anything. Not sure many of these idiots have any clue about the repurcussions of their decisions long term. Many of his people behind the scenes are pretty wacko. The whole project 2025 thing and the religious zealot craziness. Anti-vax conspiracy weirdos. Others are just sociopaths out to profit.
Intent on sabotage is doubtful, more like chaotic kakistocracy with a whole bunch of different but bad agendas.
This made Palestinian rights the third-most important reason to back Mamdani among those who voted for him, only ranking behind his proposals to lower costs for everyday Americans and to tax the wealthy and take on corporations.
As important as the Palestinian genocide issue is, I'm glad the tax the wealthy reason is up there too.
Your argument absolutely has merit. However the opposite is that there might be people there who are aware there's maybe way more to their small world, and want nothing more than to see it.
I care more about the latter, but mainly because that's how I would think. If we found out there's an alien superhighway passing over earth hidden from us, and they're keeping us "protected" and not allowing contact, I'd be very pissed off. I immediately would want to leave, meet the aliens, learn their ways and knowledge, etc...
Just sayin', it can go both ways. Ya never know if you don't talk to them.
Also, it seems kind of morbid and archaic in a way, keeping them protected. Not like a zoo by any means, but still. If we knew for certain they all wanted to be left alone, that'd be better.
More reason why they'll work together to prevent disclosure, or concoct a cover-up.
Hopefully there's enough on both sides with a spine to do the right thing. Tall order though. As anyone with a functioning brain knows, this means bringing down the executive branch, and probably a lot more powerful, wealthy, and well connected people.
So they hid everything implicating trump, and trump yelling about releasing files now is because he knows his buddies kash and bongino have confirmed this. We can assume anything released with Trump's approval has been doctored or has relevant info removed.
I bet my bottom dollar, he doesn't like working a job that requires long hours. The standard 9-5, or even longer at the fbi, is not what he signed up for. He wants to go back to making bank$$$ doing occasional sound bites for fox news and YouTube podcasts.
This fucker is nothing but a grifter. He didn't sign up for a real job with real consequences. He wants to go back to his easy payout gig. I take this to the grave. Charlatan and grifter, nothing more.
Trump, kash, hegseth, bongino, bondi. All these idiots are just immature children. We've got people with the mindset of middle school cliques and popularity contests running our government and the most powerful military in the world.
Paywall other than the first few lines. But I hope the reason is that people are waking up to the fact that unless you're in the billionaire club, your life is to slave away at a shit job for shit pay for no reason other than to pay for billionaires mansions and yachts.
Rising cost of living for the masses. Increasing retirement age. Work longer hours for less pay. Yet the wealthy are getting even wealthier?
Why in the piss fuck would people want to have kids?
It's all so rigged. We have such little power against big money. The Dems work for the billionaires too. As soon as someone steps in who threatens the wealthy and would actually tax them, this shit happens. It was obvious with Bernie in 2016. It's obvious now.
It's a big club and we ain't in it.
Dems are not our friends although they are objectively better than Republicans obviously.
