Friendly reminder that Republicans and their supporters are, literally, enemies of the people of the United States of America and its Constitution.
Not just America, this is a massive threat to world health. They betrayed our species.
So incredibly shortsighted. We only developed the mRNA vaccine for Covid-19 in under a year because 20 years ago we started researching it for exactly this scenario. If we had only started working on that body of research when a novel virus presented itself, no amount of money would be able to speed up the clock to deliver a vaccine that verifiably saved millions of lives in the same timespan.
When, not if, the next pandemic comes around, we will want to have that body of research knowledge to help protect us against it.
Let it be known that the Covid-19 pandemic cost US taxpayers trillions of dollars (much of it lost to actual fraud) because Trump thought it would be a good idea to pinch some pennies by cutting the funding for the US-backed watchdog organization that oversaw infectious disease labs like the one in Wuhan, China. “Saving” money by not investing in disease prevention now will end up costing an exponential amount of money more than whatever you think you will end up saving in the short term.
More stupid from the stupid administration.
For wellness gurus, health care is a threat to their business. That’s why these people are defunding vaccines, because they’ll make you lazy and not work out for your own health. Also a lot of them are eugenicists, see the chronically ill as “undeserving of life”, and think “good genes attract each other” so a few generations adopting to polio will lead to blonde, blue eyed, muscle bound gigachads with chiseled chins.
If they get their way, it sounds like history will just repeat itself, and you’ll get a bunch of glass-jawed six-toed offspring they’ll declare as “the next step in superior human evolution.” Lmao
This kind of shit really leads me to believe that Russia has a sizable chunk of our government bought. The only thing this does is make us weaker on the national stage. Not only makes us a laughing stock with our closest allies (note the weird tariffs with Canada as another example of sabotage), but makes our enemies like Russia comparatively stronger.
That, or the rich think they don’t need the masses anymore. They believe the chaos they unleash strengthens their position. They want to punish commoners for almost getting enlightened and coming together during the lockdowns.
Oh, they know they need the masses. They’re just forcing the masses to out-breed the death and disease through banning contraceptives and abortion.
Maybe. I’m starting wonder if they think they don’t need us. Maybe they think they can automate everything and live off that. Maybe they think they can surround themselves with loyal guards and let everyone else die off.
To be clear: they’re idiots.
AI and crypto are all about the goal of full automation and no poors.
Tesla is making AI driven humanoid robots. Ai will also eliminate many categories of jobs.
The plan seems to be removing the pesky people from the system. They just whine about healthcare and need sleep every night.
Tesla is promising AI-driven humanoid robots. Will they deliver? Probably not.
Unfortunately if it is anything like AI for software development, if the CEOs sense any progress they will fire people first and ask questions later. Even if the technology is subpar.
When new factories are created in the US, they will be as automated as they can be. Farming, driving vehicles (delivery, taxi, trucking, etc.), unloading trucks, stocking shelves; all of that will be done by robots eventually. Other jobs like entry level office jobs and customer support will be eliminated too and replaced with AI, as well as mid level management and creative work.
I don’t know if Elon will deliver, but someone will – and there is a ton of money on the line for whoever figures it all out first.
Maybe we’ll all get to all live in some utopia, but I doubt it…
I think that if utopia is achieved, many of us will have to bleed for it. I am not looking forward to being part of the process…but I don’t think the elite will give anyone a reasonable choice.
When new factories are created in the US, they will be as automated as they can be.
Consider coal mining. Even if the Cheetoh-in-charge were to succeed in turning back the calendar to revitalize coal, there’s been over half a century of declining jobs. Automation over time means there are no jobs to come back.
I don’t know if Elon will deliver, but someone will – and there is a ton of money
Maybe. We know many people will continue to figure out more automation, and yes AI is actually useful, will continue to get better and will be used everywhere.
- but I don’t know if anyone has a sustainable business model for ai yet. While there are too many free options, no “killer app”, and relatively high expenses, it looks more like a bubble. We’ll see what is left behind after it pops
- robots already are successful in manufacturing, logistics and many other areas and will continue to become ever more useful. But there’s no guarantee humanoid robots ever will be. Coolness isn’t sufficient. Becoming functional is not sufficient. For a humanoid robot to succeed they have to be better than other solutions or cheaper or more effective, or some combination. They might never be
Does it even matter if they deliver? While admittedly their whole history has been a gamble with new technology, there is not a known market for those robots. It’s easy for everyone to play with ai because you can start for free. However even if they can get a robot down to the price of a new car, who is buying that? For what?
It may happen and I’d love to see widespread adoption of humanoid robots, but it’s hard to see this working out for them.
If tesla has any hope this decade, it is trucks and storage, not ai or robotics
Their only fix would be to ditch their idiot ceo guy.
Just after the self driving cross country car from 2018.
They need the masses but no longer as consumers. We’re at the cusp of a new era of indefinite detention of any individual accused of being illegal. Imagine how much the 1% will benefit off mass detention of individuals unendowed of their inalienable rights.
“If there was hope, it must lie in the proles, because only there, in those swarming disregarded masses, eighty-five percent of the population of Oceania”
It starts to make sense when you realize they’re eugenicists.
Americans are perfectly capable of being extremely stupid on their own.
We can still hope most of them were low information, easily manipulated people. Now that those elected people are let lose on the country, maybe those voters will finally see and understand. It could happen.
Nah, they’ll just tune out, forget everything that happened and be surprised when they vote for the same thing again because “those people” are scary (and I know this is mostly racist phrasing but should not be limited to racism. Apparently like 10 college and professional athletes across the 360million population are enough to make trans people scary)
From what I gather, he couldn’t attack us directly after the Cold War so he hired Trump to occupy it. Centuries old tactic.
He should go to jail, he will be responsible for thousands of deaths, how the fuck do these people sleep at night
It’s probably more like millions, as the consequences will be long-lasting.
Yes, because the ignorance will spread faster/further without people already getting the vaccines to show that they don’t get sick or don’t get very sick each year.
how the fuck do these people sleep at night
Horse tranquilizers, or so I’ve heard
No, horse dewormers.
That’s the upper during the day
Typically, super easily. They haven’t had a conscience for decades. This is just another day for RFK.
Oh he’ll sleep very tightly in the knowledge that he now gets to push his insane thoughts onto everyone. I doubt he cares much about millions dying. Hell, I’m sure he’s dumb enough hat he actually believes he’s saving lives.
Can you really blame an insane person for acting insane? If he believes hat setting fire to a skyscraper full of people would somehow make these people better, he would.
Blame the millions of racist pedophile assholes that voted for the crime boss dictator wannabe that put him in office
Death Cult
Kennedy said in the Tuesday statement that he wants the health department to move away from mRNA vaccines, calling on the department to start “investing in better solutions.” He provided no details on what those technologies might be.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t mRNA vaccines the current “cutting edge” of vaccine technology?
These anti-vaxxers have some paranoid delusions about how mRNA vaccines work, and their insanity is literally going to kill us.
mRFK (moron RFKjr) thinks he understands mRNA vaccines and that we should stay away from them. I hope human avian influenza hits him first, the asshole.
I took a covid vaccine, and some refreshers, and died 5 times.
The other equally cutting edge tech is altering a live virus (Adeno) to inject DNA to get to the same outcome as the mrna ones.
I really can’t imagine him thinking injecting humans with a modified virus with custom DNA is any better.
These two ways though are huge breakthroughs.
Edit: I imagine mRna is logistically simpler as you aren’t having to deal with an active virus, just the mrna. Mrna is also single stranded which seems easier. But I don’t actually know that for sure.
Edit: I also think covid was also the first time adeno virus delivery was used at a mass global scale.
Duhh, just make the vaccine different, but it has zero side effects and no downsides. Doesn’t sound too hard to me!
RFK is a swindler. He sets a bar that doesn’t exist. As he goes around shutting down various vaccines and medications, he says “Look folks, I just want these to be safe!”
Well, the thing is, there’s not really such a thing as “safe” re: vaccines and medications. Hell, if you look at aspirin, there are thousands of injuries and even some deaths caused by it every year. Yet, I’m pretty sure he doesn’t want to eliminate aspirin.
He’s setting an impossible standard and then selectively terminating anyone who doesn’t fulfill it.
ANY medication/vaccine carries some inherent risk. The wise thing to do is if the benefits outweigh the risks, then allow it, otherwise, do not.
Imagine if all cars had to be taken off the road until we had a “safe” car that never had an accident. I think we’d be walking for quite some time.
Unfortunately, America is full of people who are long on anger and short on logic. They are tearing down things that took decades to construct.
The damage being done right now will take decades to unravel.
Fuck you, RFK. You were bad enough when you were a solo wingnut, but now the choices you are making is screwing over millions of people.
Yet, I’m pretty sure he doesn’t want to eliminate aspirin.
Don’t give him ideas.
Imagine if all cars had to be taken off the road until we had a “safe” car that never had an accident. I think we’d be walking for quite some time.
All the law makers should be held liable for negligent homicide for not passing laws requiring breathalyzers be installed on every car!
Also the max speed should be 40kmh to prevent deaths!
And EV, to prevent even more deaths
if we’re all sick with long covid 3.0, we’re easier to subjugate. okeydoke
If it can kill us, it can kill them.
The big difference between us and the rich is our healthcare is reactive. Their healthcare is proactive. They are, and always have been, looking for the means of immortality. Their reckless drive to advance tech at any means is the mission of advancing humanity, but only for themselves. The rest of us don’t matter to them. They literally don’t think we deserve anything.
Rest assured, if they succeed at immortality, they will never be stoppable and not even governments will be able to rein them in.
A healthy, well educated population which feels safe and secure is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.
May he be simultaneously stricken with all respiratory viruses
Maybe he already has, have you heard the guy speak?
But then he’d be indestructible.
Let’s hope he isn’t Mr Burns
Don’t worry, you will be able to buy European vaccines. Or even Chinese. You’ll just have to wait until the local population has been served in the next pandemic. And we’ll gladly take vaccine develoment specialists here, I believe.
Next up is banning imports of ‘dangerous’ vaccines.
You’ll need to travel to get it. Canada would probably help after taking care of its own citizens.
Ah yes. “Rebuilding American manufacturing” by destroying yet another industry we have a strong position in
After paying 250% tariff, I guess. Or is it 1500% discount? Idk, math is hard.
He wants everyone to have that gargling ‘toad trapped halfway down his throat’ sound, so he doesn’t stand out as much.
Can we just call him Deepthroat?
He’s of the view that our illnesses are our fault for not doing something something something with no evidence citations provided, just his views.
What’s the problem just use crystals and willow bark
Willow bark is too effective, best stick to Laetrile.
