Turnip is a convenient scapegoat .... the US government has literary been bought and sold ... they placed a mascot on the driver's seat while all the rich, wealthy and corporate owners in the background can do whatever they want and make tons of money while bankrupting the country ... they don't care if the country loses, they'll be making billions for themselves
And when it's all over, the rich and wealthy owners will walk away into the shadows and let the world blame everything on the orange turd.
The conservative right is so unimaginative, uncreative and cowardly ... that they had to spend billions of dollars building their own digital spokesperson to say the things they really want to say
Beautiful ... we finally develop AI and instead of using it to find the cure for cancer, solve global warming, stop wars or find more efficient ways to build space stations and start development of spacecraft to travel to Alpha Centauri .... we instead use it to build the Ultimate Racist Asshole
Rich kids and their cable TV ..... I only ever saw maybe 10 full episodes of TNG in the 90s and about 20 partial episodes ... never in sequence and most of the time only be accident on over the air public TV.
My family got satellite cable TV eventually but I had moved out by then. So I never saw all of TNG until I downloaded the entire series in the early 2000s. Once I learned about torrenting, it was the first thing I wanted to get, just to finally see the whole series.
The problem is that the world needs a giant energy source as we transition in between .... before we get to the point of using fully or primarily wind/solar/batteries, the world has to use several decades or a century or more of some big source of energy and most governments and industries are just banking on forcing everyone to stay on fossil fuels
Never understood the freakout over nuclear ..... when you measure up the long term statistics
Gas/Oil/Coal have killed more people over the past 100 years than nuclear ever did (even if you threw in the bombing deaths in Japan in WWII)
The deaths caused by gas/oil/coal are just not as dramatic ... all those people died from global pollution, poisoning, early death, shortened lives, lung problems, bad health ... and all by the millions
Over the past three months ... I've discouraged any of my family and friends from even going near the US ... even to get transit flights
Want to fly to Asia? ... get a direct flight, pay extra, don't land in the US on your way there or back
Want to go to Europe? ... get a direct flight, pay extra, don't even think of landing in the US
Want to go to the US? ... forget it! ... go to Asia or Europe instead!
I'm in Canada in Ontario and my cousins are in France right now enjoying a month long holiday there. They had originally planned to take cheaper flights connecting through New York from Toronto. I spent about a month hounding them to get them to rebook and avoid landing in New York. As the headlines got worse and worse in the US, they finally agreed and paid a bit extra and flew direct from Montreal instead. Even their return flight was originally supposed to be through New York but they changed that too to fly direct back to Canada.
Points a massive gun at your face .... dead or alive, your watching this movie with me
