This is what happens when you let sales and and accounting design your products.

While it’s great news, the fact we don’t have universal healthcare is a huge problem. One dose every 3 weeks for 6 months, each dose is out of pocket $11,000. How can the average person afford this without going bankrupt or take a hit on their retirement savings. 

funky “load characteristics.”

Wondering if this was just wind. Also wondering how they are controlling spin.

The MIC doesn’t care if we win or lose those little 3rd world police actions as long as the Feds keep spending.

US has fallen behind on a lot of things. The only thing I can safely say we are not behind are war and military.

Those unable to receive the vaccine due to being immunocompromised aren’t broken out here, but the statistic for those age 5 and up is 66.5%.

In the U.S. we have one political party leveraging high Covid infection rates for political power, and discouraging vaccination. It’s not unlike failed states where local warlords generate artificial famines and hijack UN aid convoys to control the distribution of food.

This happens more often than people realize when it comes to health. We’re also behind Iran on maternal mortality, cancer rates, and homicides. Hell our overall life expectancy is only higher by a year and a half.

I’ve got to wonder how much tax would be effective though. Here in Oregon where I live the tax on cigarettes is pretty high at $3.33 per pack and I still frequently find myself choking on some assholes secondhand smoke when I’m outdoors. I also get to see cigarette butts thrown carelessly every god damn place. 

I think…

good for them! the rest of the world should take their example to heart. its a super unnecessary habit that does nothing but harm. its almost primitive how people let themselves become dependent on something they never needed to start in the first place.

Even William Shatner will beat Tom Cruise to space.

Yup it’s like the old school space race but stupid. We should send a pop star to space in retaliation.

The patriotic, nationalist side of me really wants to cheer for all of these EV startups. I want to see any entrepreneur who has a good idea and good designs, make it in this world. But there are just so many people out there with computer renderings, or a non-working prototype who make bold statements about…

Just resaw this recently; the part that got me teary was when Heston's cop had pinched some Real Food and he shared it with Eddy G… their delerious joy killed me. Heston ate an apple, core and all, just amazed since he had never tasted one before…

Soylent Green needs some defending, because I think too many people see it as a Charlton Heston camp/schlock-fest with a twist ending.  It's a movie about some really important stuff, and unfairly gets lumped in with cheesy shit like Logan's Run.  As others have mentioned, the opening credits sequence is amazing — and…

Hell yes it is worth watching! There are days when I think that movie is absolutely prophetic, especially given the times we are living in, not so much its comments about resource scarcity, moreso along the lines of empoyment, privledge and the ever-growing canyon between the ultra-rich and everyone else.

Those damn dirty apes. They Blew it up!

So, seeing that it not even mentioned here: Is Soylent Green worth watching even though everyone knows the main plot twist?
