I just stopped over and talked with a cop in my city watching over an area that is open outdoors. Had a crazy conversation... he basically thought he was more informed than me, a bioinformatics scientist who studies covid-19 daily... he said he thought Trump did a good job letting the states run things individually... lots of crazy nonsense about the flu being worse... my lord this misinformation campaign is seriously just as bad of a virus as the actual virus... in that it's enabling the virus to spread and kill way more than it would've without misinformation.

To be clear: They will be fine with the death toll no matter what the number is at the time. Ask them 20 days from now when we are hitting 200k and the number will still be acceptable. By the end of the year when we are at 300k, the number will also still be acceptable. They see their own citizens of different colors or beliefs as enemy combatants. They don’t mind dying themselves as long as their own deaths are necessary heroic sacrifices in their war against black, brown, or liberal lives.

Huh that's around 60 9/11's worth of death. I thought that 9/11 was the worst event in American history and we had to go to war and also restrict Americans freedom with the Patriot act to "protect" us. Oh well I guess we know the Republicans never cared about 9/11. This is especially true with society-wide issues like politics and policy, which they view as non-real and abstract (compared to real things like what is right in front of them). The same people who would give charity and help someone who is right in front of them will vehemently oppose a liberal policy which accomplishes the same thing, because their authority told them that liberals are evil and that's the fan fiction they like best.

I tried very hard to understand these Trump supporters. There are many hypotheses, but many of them are either untested, or their predictions turned out wrong, or their predictions apply to only a small subset of Republican voters (Trump supporters are about 80-90% of Republican voters.) The best theory I found come from this researcher (summary 1 and summary 2). He predicted many things correctly and at least two decades before Trump was elected, when Fox News was just starting. I trust his theory more than any other hypotheses. Buy it:  Cool Dutch Goodbyes The Initial Goodbye The Goodbye In The Talking And Waving Into The Dark Shirt

Are you wondering if he regrets all the death? On Monday Michelle Obama gave her speech and said that more than 150,000 Americans were dead. Trump seized on that line to mock Obama for giving a pre recorded speech, essentially calling her stupid for not realizing that he killed way more Americans than she said. This one example is easier to explain, because that's an inference, not an original statement. His supporters probably don't make that interpretation or listen to people who explain in this way.

After downplaying the virus for months, Trump finally kicked into gear and implemented some bare minimum guidelines (not even mandates). If we followed his suggestions, he declared that the death estimate was merely 60,000. He then gave himself an insane amount of breathing room 4x the estimate) by saying that if they keep it under 100,000 to 200,000, they'll have done "a great job." Almost immediately he reversed course and told Americans to revolt against masks and social distancing mandates. Rates started climbing again, and at this rate, it's easily going to be over 200,000 by election day. He couldn't even meet his own insanely generous goal.

Yeah the thing about these is a PROPER government response means paying people to stay home and providing relief to businesses so they can weather the quarantine and reopen and bring those people back to work after quarantine. So instead of 60 days of quarantine and the government paying people to stay home and businesses to be closed, we're going to endure 9+ months of this slow drain that's going to end up with WAY more businesses gone forever than if we just took care of them. We shouldn't be pushing for the government to let businesses reopen, we should be pushing the government to pay them to stay closed.

The fact that something may be causing deaths of a paltry 200k people a year and we're shutting down the economy for it while not apparently giving a shit about the millions of people dying of other preventable causes is evidence that all of this is done purely for political reasons." ^ That's a summation of several different conversations I've had, but I think it accurately portrays their position. Some of them also throw in stuff like "and wearing masks doesn't stop the virus - it's just virtue signalling." But not all of them.

"So like, heart disease kills 650k per year, and cancer (all types) kills 600k. So if the new threat isn't killing at least 1.2 million per year, then there is no reason to shut down the economy, put millions of people out of work, and decimate small businesses. We don't shut down the entire country and economically shoot ourselves in our collective face because of heart disease and cancer. We probably could. We could declare an emergency and shut down all the fast food chains. We could introduce an incredibly high cancer tax on businesses to fund cancer research with billions - it'd drive small businesses into bankruptcy but, 600 thousand people are dying so we have no choice.

One of the comments in response to my statement was “Remember when it was supposed to be 2.2 million!”. I responded that we could all free up some of our schedules by canceling war memorials and days of remembrance since we should only care when the death toll hits the millions.

One guy on Twitter estimated 12,500 deaths before fall. When we got there fairly early, I called him out on it and his response was that the numbers were inflated because reporting wasn’t accurate. They don’t care about numbers because they believe them to be fake. They're rationalizing, not rational. They hate Democrats and love Republicans and will believe anything they need to to reach that conclusion.

I get they want to limit abortions. To accomplish that one needs to address the root cause. The main reason for abortion is unwanted pregnancies. They demonstrably have no problems with government infringing on body autonomy, why not require vasectomies for just pubescent males? Vasectomies an less invasive and easier to reverse than tubal ligations. There is also a great messaging to promote religion in requiring their religious leader, with guidelines, being required. There is also a market that could be created for the secular marketing insurance for the 18 years to support any offspring and a reversal given with that proof of insurance. Not to mention all the urologists and staff needed to facilitate the reversals.\ Buy it:  Pretty I’m Just Tucking It In My Shirt

It’s to reinforce hegemony: if women can’t control their reproduction, they can’t plan their lives or careers, and men can remain dominant while women remain dependent. this also burdens men, so the additional bonus is that all of labor becomes unable to control their lives, weakening their position with respect to the capitalists/employers.Honestly to me it's all that sure, but generally it's control so that women can't "get away with" sex without consequences. This allows them to keep women pushed down so that white men can maintain their spot atop the social hierarchy. Buy it:  Cool You’re All Talk No Action Trump Shirt

“You want to know what this was really all about?” he asked with the bluntness of a man who, after public disgrace and a stretch in federal prison, had little left to protect. “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities.

People want to believe in plans, because it is much more comforting to believe in the notion in that there are people in "control", that understand the world so well that they can lay out decades-long plans to influence it. But the reality is that there really aren't people like that. No one can see the future. No one can create gigantic plans that they know will influence the future in a way that will be a particular outcome. It's just people relying on their inside group that believes the same things they do and have similar means as to what they have. It is quite genuinely not more complicated than that.

So once the labor pool expanded thanks to the Civil Rights Movement, combined with American manufacturing's inability to compete internationally, you all of a sudden had a lot of whites that were a lot poorer and going through economically difficult times. Republicans took advantage of that anger and blamed integration, then started using wedge issues in the Southern Strategy to court Southern Dems into the Republican Party with abortion, forced busing, etc. Once they had those people on lock, they started to make their party more and more about religion - the religion of course being heavily steeped in the systemic racism designed to keep blacks out of white communities by not allowing them into white churches, either through explicit policy or racially-motivated  Buy it:  Cool Je Ne Boirai Plus Jamais Oh Regarde Du Mojito Shirt

The reality of course is that manufacturing started declining in the United States because the wealthy were outsourcing manufacturing, unions and big business had collaborated to stop universal healthcare so basic medical care in the US started becoming a luxury as union jobs collapsed. Said union jobs collapsed because the rest of the world rebuilt itself after it was destroyed by either World War II, internal civil wars, colonial movements for independence or some combination thereof. Once those economies and manufacturing bases were rebuilt, the US couldn't compete in the international market because white Americans were being paid ludicrous sums for manufacturing jobs due to there being no international competition and them edging out 30% of the population through systemic racism.

Being pro-unborn entails supporting public assistance to expecting mothers for food, housing, and medical care, aka socialism for fetuses. pro-life people do not support this, so we can exclude being “pro-unborn” from the set of their possible intentions.

To elaborate, abortion involves pregnant women and fetuses. This unrelenting opposition to abortion is essentially elevating fetus to someone totally innocent and pregnant women totally evil.

US government might bring sanctions against any company that is helping Venezuela which in turn can blacklist that company across the world (efficiently killing themselves). So really there may be companies willing to help but have to wait for the US government to give them the okay. It appears that the U.N. can help with situations such as this. Also, there is an Italian oil company in partnership with Venezuela's oil company, but the U.S. may have sanctioned the Italian oil company.

Capacity of the ship is rated at 1.4 million barrels which equates to roughly 55 million gallons. Not the 80 million the article is claiming. A quick search on your own will show that. The issue also is between the oil union the the president of Venezuela. The oil union has asked for government assistance and the president says it's fine nothing to worry about. The oil union is worried about it and even invited the president there to see for himself and yet still nothing. The oil union and the government have issues with each other, but that should not stop help when needed like this.

The oil was already basically worthless, Venezuela's heavy crude requires processing just to be liquid enough to process and barely burns, the only thing that ever made it economically viable to sell it was that you could use it to stretch your supply of better crude by including this garbage, and with the hit you take in refinery output that was marginal at best for some producers.

You think the newspapers are gonna send someone out to the ship with a jug to see how much oil is in there? Considering the ship can hold about 55 million gallons, and the last logs had it close to full, it's safe to assume someone did their math wrong when they converted barrels into gallons and got 80 mil.
