The Hitler comparison is just so lazy and I don’t think you can honestly believe it, unless you solely listen to the out-of-context sound bites used by his political opponents to attack him (ex. the Cheney thing recently).

“Family separation at the border” started with Obama and the Democrats weaponized it to attack Trump. What did Trump do poorly during the pandemic? Operation Lightspeed was a success that the Democrats were happy to capitalize on. He correctly pointed to WIV as the like source of the outbreak, and despite the Democrats attempt to censor this in the media and online, it’s now the widely accepted view among the academics who don’t put politics above science.

Your judgment won’t endear Americans to vote for someone they believe is a worse candidate.

We saw firsthand what a Trump presidency was like. He wasn’t Hitler, despite what many in the political establishment would like you to believe. We saw firsthand what a Harris vice presidency was like, and for most Americans, it did not inspire confidence in a Harris presidency. More broadly, the Democratic Party has become weirdly fixated on policies that are more in tune with Reddit than with the average American, and that’s a losing strategy.

They connected the driver to the passenger, and negotiated an acceptable rate between both. They build and maintain the infrastructure necessary to make this happen quickly and reliably at global scale.

If that’s not a valuable service, drivers and passengers wouldn’t rely on it. But they do.

It seems you want to use the service, and just don’t want to pay for it.

I haven’t left many jobs because they paid poorly, but I’ve definitely stayed at jobs because they paid very well.

For many people working in the tech industry for the past ~15 years, they could easily find a new job with comparable or better pay. That’s no longer a guarantee for most people.

The vaccine harms you, but not quite as often as the disease. Also it doesn’t work very well as a vaccine. Great news, I guess?

I’m hoping mRNA vaccines improve and I’m sure they will, but it looks more and more like we were guinea pigs for a global experiment.
