How is it not the same league of lies?

As for fraud elections, why look at the US, and instead look at countries whom the US tried to overthrow the elections of. A perfect example is Chile and South Korea. Attempted examples include Cuba and Vietnam. Of course I could name, perhaps dozens of countries the US tried to influence the election results of. But you don’t really care.

Of course there were failures, some of which were hidden from the public, the same way every other country hides their technology development from other countries. But I’m asking for a list, because you are saying the USSR hid technological development more than any other country, and I don’t know of many examples.

Private companies in China work just like private companies anywhere else, with the only difference being the Chinese government claims partial ownership of all companies. China does this to have the benefits of private companies, while still keeping them state property, so they cannot abuse their power.

I’m glad you like your job! Unfortunately, most people do not think having their labor stolen from them 5-7 days per week is the best way to spend their time. But I’m glad you’re an exception!

Life is unfair, but not for me. I live perfectly fine. I’d like some basic human rights, like the right to healthcare and food and housing and what not, but despite the US lacking these seemingly basic things, I’m okay, and quite comfortable. Many people however, are not as fortunate.

Edit: also I hate cheetos and I’m insulted by your assumption I enjoy them. They leave too much residue on your hands. Gross.

That’s a great question! There are a few answers. Firstly, we could make delivery workers exempt from said lockdown, or only allow people to leave to buy food. Secondly, we could have the government supply food, though of course the government fails to provide food even to the starving, so this is unlikely.

Third, and I think this is the best option, is a little known, quite futuristic technology known as “preservation”. Back in 1810, this neat little thing called “can food” was patented, where essentially, totally normal food is put in a metal container which is then sealed, and boiled to kill any viruses or bacteria. Then, when people need to eat, they open the can, and have perfectly edible food right there! It’s really neat. It’s so high tech, canned food from a ship wreck 100 years old, was still safe to eat!

New yorkers are sick of being sick. But also sick of wearing masks. And sick of getting shots. And sick of staying home. And sick of lockdowns. New yorkers could easily eliminate 90% of Covid cases with a month long complete lockdown/general strike, but the new yorkers would all whine about not being able to get Starbucks or something, so we stay sick.

If you don’t want to get sick, stay home. How many times do people have to tell new yorkers this. If you don’t want to get sick, stay home.
