AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER.

The only single sentence that has ever brought me to tears. Sad, Beautiful, Happy, Perfect. All in one.

All of your otherwise sound arguments, some of which I agree with, some of which I don't, are unfortunately made moot by the beginning of your post.

You imply, although do not explicitly state that the idea that the tech giants are exercising bias against conservatives is false. I can't even begin to understand how you could arrive at that determination.

It's clear as day that there is a bias against conservatives and conservative viewpoints. I'm not suggesting you have to agree with conservative viewpoints, but to not acknowledge the bias on Facebook/Twitter/youtube/reddit is some combination of insane, lying, and stupid.

Again, all of your other points can't even be addressed by a rational human if your premise involves there being no clear bias.

I'm unaware of anyone, anywhere, with any credibility defending the actions of the criminals in blue. I personally hold the 3 who let it happen in higher disdain, but I can agree it's a very small shade off of the evil indifference we saw from that dipshit pinning Mr. Floyd.

That said, if the nation is overwhelmingly in support, who are the protesters protesting against? You? Me? Math? Are they angry that whites end up dead in far greater numbers than blacks per arrest? Are they angry at the media for only ever covering the dead blacks, and not the whites? Hell, look up Daniel Shaver in Arizona, watch the bodycam footage if you can stomach it, and tell me that isn't an execution.

So, assuming we care about math and reality over feelings, what do we do now?

Then Antifa shouldn't look *and* behave like guerillas.

Do you mean like an executive order granting defacto amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegals? That for some reason can't be undone with a different executive order?

I get that we're all busy sucking the coolaid out of various cocks, but can we maybe, just maybe remember the roots of this very platform? I seem to recall a time when we were all supportive of the anti-trust case against Micro$oft, and all they did was include a web browser.

What the socials have done is far, far worse. They cornered the market(s). Twitter on quick all-reaching posts, Facebook on longer, more "inner circle" type posts, YouTube on videos, and reddit on "topic" type posts. ALL of these monopolies were achieved by a general "open, free speech, say whatever, just don't harass!" type mindset.

Now that there is no "real" competition in any of those spaces (there exist alternatives, but the users aren't there), they've all essentially decided at roughly the same time to play judge over content? That CAN NOT possibly be a good thing as seem by even the withered husk of the once ubiquitous /.

Define "well".

Ignoring homeless, which is strangely an issue separate from income (addiction/mental health), let's look at the poorest in america, the bottom 20%. The majority of them have 40+ inch televisions, 1 or more cars per family (if out of a major city), air conditioning, clean water (sorry flint, but that's a bureaucratic cock up), hot water, a working stove, a microwave, a washing machine, a cell phone (with all of it's sub categories, internet/music player/flashlight/etc), cheap food, the ability to eat out 4+ times a week, and the list goes on and on and on and on.

I readily admit there are exceptions to my statement, but as a general rule I believe it is safe to say that our poor generally live better than their 1970's/1980's/ and 1990's counterparts.

That said, let's say your statement is correct about one person supporting a family. How do you expect to put that genie back in the bottle? A quick, summarized history:
Pick any suburban street in the 60's/70's. Married couples, with one earning wages, the other staying home. Everyone on the street is making roughly the same. One day, the man at the end of the street comes home with a new cadillac. Neighbors inquire. Man explains his wife got a part time job. Neighbors aghast. But a few months later one of the neighbors comes home in a new cadillac. He and his wife decided to keep up with the jones's. So forth and so on until most of wives on street are working part time. Then, kids get a little older. First guy has a brilliant idea, why part time? Wife gets a full time job. Process repeats. Whole street now has 2 incomes per household.

But WAIT A MINUTE!!! There is economic rule that can not be ignored. Value of something decreases as supply increases past demand. Supply of work force has DOUBLED. Should employers pay bob 10 when they can hire suzie or ed for 6? After a while, whole street back to roughly where they started, except now 2 people working in household. No getting around this fact.

NEW PROBLEM: Everyone talks about automation reducing work force in near future. Same people allow mass unchecked illegal immigration. More people fighting over fewer jobs. Nostradamus is not needed to see cattle cars in future. Whatever precise nature of this conspiracy, Adrian Veidt responsible.

Far better punchline "Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. Your dog is going to die. Your wife is pregnant, it's not yours. Your daughter is pregnant, it is yours. And if you don't stop jerking off, your tennis elbow will never get better."

I happen to agree with you on the order of the 4 boxes, but the first three have arguably NOT worked.

1. Soap: With the rise of youtube/facebook/myspace/twatter the Noise to signal ratio has gone way off the scale. Even shown logarithmically, the graph would cut off the paper and need to be inked on the wall.
2. Ballot: With a 2 party system and no run-off voting for most of the country, we really don't have a lot of options. The tea party is a great 3'rd party, seems to have some steam, but lets face it, they're going to vote R come general election time, just to make sure a D doesn't get into office. Their principles will let them be spoilers for primary's but not for general elections. (though it is interesting to note that where the tea party candidate get's the nod for the republican slot, the "favored" republican often runs as an independent.
3. Jury: In this day and age it amazes me that next to no one understands the proper role of a jury. Just because the judge tells you it's your job to determine the facts, does not make it so. The proper role of juries is to vote not guilty for anyone they think shouldn't be punished. If the law said being black was a crime, i imagine jury nullification MIGHT be better known then.
4. Ammo: I'm not calling for an armed revolution in this country, but with 50% of us not paying taxes and 10% of us not even American citizens, I sure won't be surprised when one breaks out. And it will probably start in a state like Arizona, maybe even Alaska. My big issue is, at 32, do i sit on the sidelines safe on my couch, or do I do the right thing and join the soldiers of freedom?

  The problem is that we lack a national or even state leader capable of cutting through the bullshit to do the right thing.

It's funny you should mention the short sightedness of larger corporations since a friend and I were talking about that very thing just yesterday. I came up with the Idea of a sliding scale of capital gain's tax. Start it at 90% for stocks held 1 year, and drop it by 15% a year thereafter all the way to 0. While there are certainly drawbacks, we could be damned sure that those in charge would be singing a tune of what can I do to make us better in 5 years as opposed to what can I do to bump our stock for today.

Just blame Terry Childs. It was a backdoor into a citywide system. Clearly he's responsible. Doubtlessly the D.A. is already concocting a theory involving him having visited the city during a conference, and installing a modem into the network. By phoning a specific number and entering a sequence of numbers from his prison phone, he's brought the network to its knees.

In defense of the men driving the "black van of disappearance", Keith Olbermann's show is so low rated that unless his own mother ratted him out, they'd have no way of knowing he was speaking out against the government. I didn't even know he was still on the air. I guess I just assumed he'd already been disappeared with his wife!

You mean you hope there's action taken if they are proven to be true, right?

Due process applies to everyone, not just the people we like.

Corporations, and therefor cartel's of corporations are legal fictions. They deserve no more due process than Goldilocks for stealing all that porridge.

The sharks provided the documentation that the sea lions were getting frickin' lasers so we'd go take them out and then the sharks would end up with all the fish!

That's just what the zionist Dolphins with their Whale slaves want you to believe.

Well,
Her mouth's in the right position.
