Resentment towards elites who sold us all on a bunch of bullshit. The elites have failed us in nearly every way and that in turn made it easy for a populist like Trump to step in and start telling the lies that a certain demographic wants to hear.
Mind you, I'm not saying that it makes any logical sense, I'm just explaining what I believe happened, or at least a big part of it.
Well something like 10 percent of us are still unionized. I'm technically in management, but I'm still a union member and I 100 percent support my union brothers and sisters over ownership. That said, having a unionized workforce is actually good for my company's owners because it allows them to bid on highly lucrative projects that aren't really viable for non-signatory contractors for technical reasons having to do with safety and insurance.
While it's not entirely ruled out, the lab leak hypothesis is looking less and less likely for a variety of reasons. The most likely suspect at this time is a raccoon dog sold at a specific wet market in Wuhan about 7 miles away from the WIV lab. This has not been proven yet either, it's just the most likely, so ultimately we still don't actually know.
There was a deep-dive article about it in the NYT Magazine recently.
Health insurance. Actually that probably doesn't really count since most of us know it's a scam.
We understand perfectly, we just think it's bullshit. All of the countries that are consistently ranked as providing the best quality of life for their citizens share a suite of features, none of which are communism. No amount of condescension on your part will change this.
With very few exceptions this entire thread is pure amateur hour bullshit.
It was good when it had only a few hundred thousand users, but obviously you weren't there.
I don't think anyone's arguing that the US is a good example of a well balanced economy.
You aren't wrong, in part at least, but I guarantee you that the person who doesn't have to set this thing up because they can quickly process information and produce compelling content on their own, without the aid of an LLM, will have a cognitive and competitive advantage in life. This may not be obvious when you are young and still in school.
Way to completely miss the point.
