No. You don’t understand. Imagine 1930s Germany. Imagine what those German citizens must have been like. That’s America, but possibly more stupider.

I believe I’ve heard that PEX actually breaks down and starts leeching chemicals into the water faster than PVC. It’s also a cheaper material. Most of the houses I’m familiar with are still installing PVC.

Do you have a source on that? I find it hard to believe we put water into unsanitized bottles.

That would seem to be the explanation on the face of it. Piping is made from heavier duty plastic. But I’ve heard that PVC can start leaking some nasty chemicals over the decades. Is that better or worse than microplastics?

The thing is that most of our piping is plastic. So how is tap water so much better?

I’d be more interested in altering the material conditions that lead to low birth rates than relying on churning through the global population. We’re already doing immigration like you said and have been. It still sucks to live in these conditions.

Not really relevant. I mean technically there are countries with child slavery so I guess if you want to entirely miss the point on purpose you could go with one of those.

I believe Japan has less inequality than the US. Not sure on that, but I think it’s true. I think in this case we see work culture playing a role. The only country in the world with a worse work culture than the US is Japan. No one has time to even think about having kids when you are a company man there. It’s similar in the US.

Did we really need an article to know that? It’s basic math.

Nope, Putin will not allow American troops in Ukraine. Trump is only president for 4 years. Trump gave Putin Ukraine and he probably promised Trump some modest personal monetary concession. That’s it. That’s how cheap of a whore the POTUS is.

Bruh, you think Trump gives a fuck about American interests? Putin is giving him a cut so that’s all he cares about.

Those that support Trump kinda do. These people are selfish enough to hate anyone else because their lives are kinda shit and they’re too stupid to understand why. America has been headed towards this point for a long time.

The left is highly disillusioned due to DNC shenanigans to block any real progress on the real problem of inequality. So there is no opposition. It is a really bad picture to say the least.

I mean he certainly is incompetent but the idea that you could actually achieve anywhere near the results he is claiming with a bunch of racist teenagers in a month is absolutely insane.

It would be nice if we actually had the government audited to find waste and fraud. But it would take probably near a billion dollars and at least a years time and large dedicated team from a respected public accounting firm. Or even simpler, you could just increase GAO’s funding and actually read their goddamn reports.

It’s so sad that our nation is so clearly being hoodwinked and who knows the long-term damage it will cause as he just destroys any semblance of functional government with his reckless acts. What we are witnessing is pretty much the definition of fraud.

False dichotomy.

If only it had been you then, eh?

“They wanted to die.” Helluva an argument. Kudos

Why would they care when they voted for the biggest slimeball of all the billionaires?

Why are we coming up with nonsense scare tactic arguments? He’s obviously just going to divert federal funds to himself via his companies.

He has no need for a bunch of shitters’ SSN when he would just open himself to the greatest class action in history because it would take about 100 million of us to make him any significant wealth.

No lemmy…

You want to argue that armchair psychology is more important in this situation than condemning doing a Nazi salute?
