@thenotoriouskmt@MMunny06@RoKhanna Should be pissed off, too, that most of us with the appropriate education/SIR modeling experience predicted the vaccines were going to wane quickly and endemicity was a given.
And many of the highest risk individuals (immunocompromised) were going to be non-responders anyway.
@thenotoriouskmt@MMunny06@RoKhanna We literally spent around $85,000/per US taxpayer on COVID.
That could have funded the Iran war for over a decade.
We didn't eradicate SARS-CoV-2 (biomed engineer by education).
But you all always latch on to war. What potentially happens if we stop having a powerful military?
@thenotoriouskmt@MMunny06@RoKhanna All this without having to field strong military forces of their own.
Imagine the strain on their budgets, which you seem to believe are magically balanced and perfect, if they weren't relying upon the US for cover against significant military threats like China and Russia.
@thenotoriouskmt@MMunny06@RoKhanna All three are in similar governmental spending spirals. France: the most 60% of all GDP is government spending. Wages < US.
Greece was picked as the one where debt was used most to provide services.
As discretionary income in UK, FR, DE fall ... more pressure to rely on debt.
@thenotoriouskmt@MMunny06@RoKhanna Greece went bankrupt when their debt reached 180% of GDP. (Interest payments essentially become unsustainable)
We, the U.S., are currently sitting at 122% debt-to-GDP while also accumulating debt at nearly $2T per year.
We will reach 180% in under a decade at our current rate.
@thenotoriouskmt@MMunny06@RoKhanna We're literally on the path Greece once followed.
The aftermath of funding 'free stuff' with debt was not pretty. Their economy is still terrible.
The Scandinavian countries, which people always think give out free benefits ... not true. Very strict rules and no run up in debt.
@RoKhanna You all made him richer and more powerful through the social engineering push to drive electric vehicle demand with publicly funded subsidies.
Go cry about it.
@DaniBeckman Framing mass foreign imports as irreplaceable is appalling.
Foreigners with few high-paying prospects at home, and no undergraduate debt, were willing to work (often like slaves) on abysmal stipends. Non-wealthy, but talented, Americans often exited the sciences. I know many.
@Beringia2023@patriotEng1neer "typically pay full ride" ... only applies to undergrad or professional school (usually means a wealthy foreign family's child displacing a domestic student)
However, Ph.D. track is not they same. Someone with less initial debt is willing to accept a low stipend. Reducing wages.
@Beringia2023@patriotEng1neer Things operate a little differently in the real world, than they do for you ... in Narnia.
I'm sorry the left generally has to dissociate into fantasy realms to maintain their impractical ideology.
@MikeMitchNH
Typical leftist crybaby ...
Point out a flawed statistics claim: they block you without any substantive rebuttal.
He was factually incorrect--couldn't take it.
The left is not the high IQ party. It's why they systematically dismantled standardized testing.
