You can say a lot about Musk but he sure as shit gets things done.

I'm frustrated by the discourse too but I'm not sure it's for the same reasons as you.

What frustrates me is we never seem to discuss goals and why we have those goals.

Is the goal to keep the average temperature of earth as low as possible for as long as possible?

Is it to minimize the impact and costs for humans?

What exactly are we aiming for, and why?

What is your frustration with the discourse?

But what exactly do you want to change?

Lets say you had absolute power and could make whatever decisions for the human race you'd want.

I'm curious what you'd decide.

Im not saying there aren't things we can do better, but it's also not as easy as people make it out to be.

How tf can killing a single person with a handgun be classified as terrorism?

Everyone above 14 knows how dangerous smoking is. Doesn't make it less cool. Tbh it probably makes it more cool to most people.

This campaign is about as stupid as it gets.

It basically points out the only legit positive thing about smoking which is the fact that it looks cool.

Because smoking looks cool..

Very few people thinks smoking is uncool. It's obviously a health risk but I think that's part of the reason it's seen as cool. It's dangerous.

Just like riding a motorcycle, if there wasn't any increased danger associated with it, it wouldn't be cool.

In most other countries your 2 parties would be classified right wing and extreme right wing.

Geopolitics is so nice and simple if you're completely uninformed but just picks a tiny fraction of an issue and base your opinion around that..

You realize we're helping Ukraine because it's in our own best interest right?

People are acting like we do it out of our good hearted nature.

Also, we don't get to speak for Ukraine just because we're helping them. I'm tempted to say obviously but apparently it's not that obvious.

What the US has a right to do is stop it's support.
