Comment Re:Is Trump supporting them with tide pods? (Score 3, Informative) 292

Okay. I'm with you. "You should inject disinfectant or something like that". He totally didn't say you shouldn't inject disinfectant. He said you should do "something like that. something like that. something like that". It now totally makes sense why Trump still has a 38% approval rating.

#2 is definitely not impossible. USPS is in the unique situation of having to fund retirement for 75 years, which no one else in the entire WORLD has to do. Congress has the power to fix that, but they won't. Is that the fault of Congress or the USPS? Whose fault is it if that decision backfires?

You probably already know this because you'd have to be fucking retarded to not, but the post office only "loses money" because they have the unique requirement to fund retirement for everyone 75 years in advance. They are funding the retirement of people who are not even born yet. I say "unique" because no one else in the entire country has to do it. Prior to this, they made money every single year.

So, no, that's not how it works at all.

And there's no evidence at all that any of it works or is helpful at all.

We've got an article from a company saying "Hey, let's try this!" Then we've got Trump saying "Hey, let's try this!"

What we don't have is any evidence whatsoever that any of it works, but lots of anecdotal evidence saying it doesn't. We've also got a lot of proven evidence of Trump touting unproven products that ultimately prove harmful, and products that are questionable but he has stock in.

Show us that it works. Then we'll say "Hey, Trump read the news! It probably wasn't even on Fox, so there's no way to know how he heard about this!" Then we'll talk.

"Is there a way we can do something like that [disinfectant], by injection" Right here. You're right that he didn't say to do it. He asked if it was a viable solution. Everyone else already knows it's not a viable solution, so it's ridiculous that it was asked. But you're at least 100% correct that he didn't say to do it! He was just saying that he didn't know if it was a good idea and asking others what they thought. A true leader, folks!

"I see the disinfectant.. Is there a way we can do something like that, by injection". Read that sentence and tell me how he isn't saying we should be injecting disinfectant. Then read it again and tell us how it's anything new or insightful, and something that doctors haven't already thought of a billion times and then discounted because it's fucking insane.
