I guess you mean leftist are, in fact educated, and interested in building a system for those not. I mean, true, that's the plan. Indoctrination through education.

Theyd rather plummet our economy while sitting behind a 2 million dollar family estate, driving a rolls royce, with the newest apple smart watch strapped to them, and shout through twitter how horrible climate change is before they board their flight to Miami from St. Petersburg.


Why even write that.

im against the idea that you create money out of thin air to pay for all of this. Im against the idea that you think a incredibly good teacher is going to teach at a lower income then they are worth to make education free. Its a false narrative, its socialistic, anti-capitalist, and impossible to do. No, we dont cut military spending, piss off with that


Where the fuck did any of that come from. I'm for increased military spending in my nation at least. If anything increase taxes on multibillionaires who have enough money to be a threat to national stability, should they spend it unwisely.

But its unrealistic, pull yourself up by your boot straps, quit crying, and make something of yourself. Alternatively, vote left, wait for your government handout, government subsidized housing, government healthcare, government food, government education. And, fuck all the rest of the country who has to pay for all that dribble.

lower middle class, lol, get out of here, kid. i could sell a single car and half more net worth then you.


Nobody is coming for your money. Well maybe the democrats but as said above fuck them too. If your job is selling cars you're still small fish. Does my job matter? Does saying I'm closer to you in pay then I implied make you like me more? <3

And I mean... If you're not going to rebel at least elect a candidate that can beat a dementia patient.

Explained why that toxic dumps exist and why its a real problem IN THE PAST. Just cause people don't want to read it doesn't equate to answer not already given.

So far someone said "toxic dump" yup there is reason people didn't use to have technology to recycle nuclear waste... and do now.
https://whatisnuclear.com/recycling.html
I smartsplained it once but maybe another source besides just myself a website with pictures can help others.
They are very specific nuclear reactors that we call breeders cause their purpose is to "breed" fuel.

Next was accidents and yes that is the most valid complaint of nuclear is that when things go bad... THEY GO BAD.
Back in the day one of failures of nuclear computer systems is they ran computer systems very similar to the one your using... (Unix to be exact)
The issues with Nix based, Mac or Windows is these operating systems are what is known as "weighted round robin" they run each application open for very few
clock cycles on the cpu before passing it off to other processes such as your pornhub browser or clock which take up cpu cycles as well. This is why your computer can seem
to freeze up and software can become unresponsive because at that moment some other application is taking up the cpu cycles. This compounded with fact that homer simpsons
of the world would fall asleep at their jobs a new solution was needed.
In from fresh day of smashing the commies, companies produced what are known as "real-time os" there use to be just one but now days there is dozen of these companies.
https://www.qnx.com/ ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QNX )
QNX was first based on first OS used (as said UNIX)
https://www.mentor.com/embedded-software/nucleus/
aww good ole captialism and choices

Last reason I saw why nuclear is not green energy is cause it is so hard to obtain uranium and its finite source.
Yes the material is found with rocks in veins. No it isn't hard to extract from the rock.
Yes it is finite source. How finite? Pickup a rock outside you just touched enough fuel source to power a city for a month.
It is so common that one of the reasons you hear about problem in modern day homes with "radon" is cause people like to have natural stone countertops.
Which contain not just a tiny bit of nuclear material but massive amount.

If I missed something let me know... I would love to continue this debate.

So, given that Australia is what I know best I did a brief comparison of the tax rate difference between Australia and the USA. Based on the average wage in Australia which is around $55,000. It rounds off to about 22% in the USA to 32.5% in Australia (however Australia provides a tax free threshold of $18,000). If you earn $18,000 in the USA you will be charged 12% tax. If you earn $18,000 in Australia you pay no tax. I'm not good enough with math to do the numbers and compare the figures precisely.

In the USA you will be set back almost $4,000 each year for decent healthcare. The medicare levy in Australia (tax for public healthcare) is set at 2% of your taxable income (if you earn more than $18,000) and zero if you have private healthcare. This works out to be less than $1,100 (because of the tax free threshold) on an average wage of $55,000.

12k tax in Australia, 12k tax in USA. 1k for public healthcare in Australia, 4k for private healthcare in USA.

Remind me again who is getting shafted because in Australia we also have a generous welfare system and our government provides interest free loans for higher education.
Laying flat.

Just to note: I'm not trying to be dismissive of the use of nuclear. I love the tech. I wish the US government (Dept of Energy) would get off their asses and approve some of the newer reactors. Some almost eliminate the chance of a meltdown. Breeder reactors are creating heavier, potentially stable elements, some of which may prove to be useful in future technology. I've followed the science since I was in junior high... I just never had the desire to be a nuclear engineer. I love computers too much... or a least did at that time.

But you are effectively making anyone's point right here. It's a system designed by people prone to make errors in judgement. Even the most well engineered systems break, either due to flaws in planning or flaws in operation. Chernobyl was a flaw in operation. Fukushima was a flaw in planning. Three Mile Island was a bit of both. Those aren't the only three nuclear crises we've had.

I'm going to be lazy and not post the strip, but there's a comic strip from ... "the past" titled "Big Game Hunting" or "Hunting Liberals" in the Bloom County daily comic strip. This search link should pull it up: https://www.google.com/search?q=bloom+c ... g+liberals

An interesting look at US politics and the recent election by The Guardian: The US was lucky to get Trump – Biden may pave the way for a more competent autocrat

Where the fuck did any of that come from. I'm for increased military spending in my nation at least. If anything increase taxes on multibillionaires who have enough money to be a threat to national stability, should they spend it unwisely.



partway through this i stopped talking to you.

Nah, leftists sell a poisonous idea to the sheep of society from atop the mountain of wealth they created. Its ironic, and encroaching, which is why i wrote it.

again, partway through this i stopped talking to you.

we already have multi-billionaires spending money to destabilize the country, who do you think funded antifa riots and blm?

No one paid me to go to my local BLM protest :cry: Literally started as a facebook group lol. If you are right, where is this money coming from? I thought all the big money is in the owners of corporations (see: Jeff Bezos, soon to be the world's first trillionaire), what do they have to gain from looters tearing through their stores? We know who has the real money here, and they have no quails about lobbying democrat and republican alike to safeguard their interests. Mind you, when I say they I'm not talking about conspiracy, I just think old rich people probably think alike, no collusion required.

Interesting reading.

More fun times ahead I guess. (on top of the other global/economical/social/etc problems the human race has created for itself)
There was one word that seemed to be missing in what I did read. Like "education". Although telling voters they should be educated is probably a no-no for most news media companies. (Probably due to some "conflict of interests" situation)
