Its weird to see them push back on this one when this stuff will get into the groundwater and other shit of even the billionaires. You’d think they at least care enough about themselves to ban stuff that will kill and harm them too.

Sure, but its also weird to insinuate that being a government employee of any kind means having meetings about meetings to decide if youre going to have a meeting about doing something.

Do you think only the government works that way with the whole meetings thing? Corporate america is like that as well, maybe worse even. And actually, I work as a federal contractor doing software stuff, and I dont attend meetings about meetings. Some of us, actually, most of us do have real shit to get done when they go to work.

TLDR: Meetings about meetings about meetings is for beaurocrats, not scientists and engineers.

I live in the U.S., how do I boycott American goods exactly? I cant just buy all foreign…

I’d look, but i dont want a switch 2. Yes, I get it, its a sold out console right now…

Nintendo is going to die a slow painful death bcz of shit like this. I dont know a single person who wants a switch 2.

Oh noes, anyways…

You responded to me and told me im drinking too much Kool aid…go be a jackass somewhere else. Jesus, blocked.

Yeah, and? This was a conversation about the science. If you want to have a different conversation about how we dont have proper social safety nets, be my guest, and start a different thread elsewhere. You’re just changing the argument bcz you know you’re wrong.

Please, enlighten me on how 50% funding cuts to NASA science budget, and cutting NSF grant funding isn’t an attack on science? I’d also like you to further explain to me with your clearly superior big brain how banning all things considered DEI or climate change related, isn’t an attack on science…

Clearly, you know more about all the interworkings of this stuff than someone who is involved in this shit.

We are literally in the middle of one of the largest wealth transfers in history right now, driven by dipstick billionaires who are frothing and foaming at the mouth at the prospect of screwing this nation out of all scientific progress we’ve made, and you wanna tell me im a fucking sucker.

GTFO with your weak sauce arguments.

Ya am I? Guess all that first hand experience with it must be a lie…

Yes, how do I pick and choose the parts I like if I dont have a bible?!?

Right, pick and choose the parts of the Bible that you like. That way its exactly as cruel as you want it to be…

NSF funding cuts, declining enrollment bcz of the ICE crap (people are afraid to come to the U.S.), covid funding issues still being felt, lots of government employees vying for university positions, attacks on science across the board forcing experts to leave the U.S., or go to the private sector. Its bad, and it’ll probably get worse.

How do you think they identify people in the dark, maybe street addresses? Either way, its not good news.

Yes, it’s gonna get bad. Jobs in both the private sector, and public sector, universities, etc, we are all feeling the heat right now.

I love being dehumanized. There’s at least half of America that doesn’t support this crap, and voted against it. But yeah, we dont deserve anything.

This is nice in theory since everybody hates those assholes at 1am lighting off fireworks still. But, using a drone to find people in the dark, identify them, and fine them, there is so much worse shit this will be used for. And we won’t be happy when the fascists come knocking bcz of this technology. We reap what we sow i guess.

He’s not wrong, there are people disillusioned with both parties. But if Elon thinks we’re all idiots, and will flock to other nazi party, I’ve got a bridge to sell him.

Maybe some of the center right, and magas who’ve been personally wronged by the Trumpsters will swing that way, but he’s gonna find the left isn’t quite as stupid as he thinks.

Split the vote ding dong, go on, do it. I dare you.

Yes, nobody would be that insane to think otherwise…maybe even a reality TV show type of deal would be cool.
