It has no draw because we all have 24hr access to porn to the extent having it in a film is like having people take shits in film, like, yeah we all do this, but it's mostly gross so, no thanks.

So he's selling that old lie that getting a big rally or parade going is equivalent to votes cast and any numbers outside of those expectations is somehow a terrible injustice?

Yeah the fourth year in a row he said fully self driving cars are going to be market ready in a few months it really sank. Also remember when Google was trying to develop a self driving car and got millions of dollars and several years into the testing process and concluded modern technology is so far away from being able to make a self driving car that they stopped trying for the foreseeable future? That's fascinating.

I'm pretty sure the Republicans who keep getting really close to him at really last min situations and almost assassinate him have something to do with this...

Yeah, but if you want to destroy the system you need to have the military on your side, and they won't be, which means you'll need to actually defeat them, which isn't likely, unless you take a lot of bases... with an already existing trained force... all at exactly the same time... with a huge force... of loyal, extremely secretive, organized, huge, military...

Look, maybe if you're A LOT more politically involved. Like running for office involved and you really work those wheels of progress things can gradually be improved. Seems less fantastical.

You'd think that but in the American legal system corporations are civil rights bearing people, you're not related to your parents unless you maintain the same address, and objects can be suspected and tried for criminal acts and assumed guilty until proven otherwise.

It's The USA! The answer is always racism. This time, it's because slave owners didn't want their low level of white male land owners to mean they wouldn't have any say in the government, so low population areas get more voting power and significance than high population areas

It's a deeply felt personal choice, I don't think people should be manipulated or pressured into it, only that the cost at the very least be at zero so that people can choose based on what matters, their own personal views, and not in their ability to pay for every aspect of a child's life.

I personally think reproductive rights are human rights, every adult should have total personal control over their reproductive choices, I don't think people who chose to have kids should be punished for the choice, and I don't think people who do not wish to have children should be likewise punished for not doing so, nor forced in any way or manipulated into having children. I agree that there has to be a lot of improvement for kids who are here right now. That's an important problem you have to solve first if you want to encourage your population to grow, the outcome must be good now.

Macro economics, you need a growing population to do capitalism at all. You can't have a shrinking consumer base.

Also. If you want to even make it a choice people CAN make, you need to equalize it. We currently punish people for having kids by a upsetting margin, at the very least it should be the same difference, you choose to have a kid, you get appropriate services to make that process at the very least, not a clear negative in all regards.

Thirdishly we are currently getting a very low level of education for our population as a whole, and that's a BIG problem when you chief exports and economy are build on innovation in computer science, physics, and petrochemicals, we need a population with the education to work and move forward or we fall behind and that's it. We actually need a highly educated population of we intent to progress as a society with our without capitalism.

Oh I completely agree, can't tell you how many times I've been screamed at on behalf of a corporation that values my labor at ''can't we charge him to work here instead'' levels.
