Could someone explain why China is the enemy and its progress must be curtailed. Why is everything about competition? What has China done to the west to make them the enemy?

You do realize that in this country everything was always based on your sex and skin color. Where you lived, the door you used to go into a building, the quality of education you had, the college or university you could attend (That's why HBCUs were created).The type of job you could have. Take a look at the pictures of NASA mission control from the 60s and 70s, 100% of the people in those pictures are white man. So, saying that things are falling apart because now race and sex are used as one of the criteria for admission to colleges and universities is not being truthful because that has always been the criteria, you just had to be a white man. 12 human beings have walked on the moon, all white man. Is that just a coincidence or were they chosen for their race and sex. You can complain about DEI all you want, but hundreds of years of legal discrimination is not going to be fixed in 40/50 years. I know some people feel that what happened in the past has nothing to do with them, but it affects the present and must be addressed.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to mention DEI. Didnâ(TM)t take long at all. We should just go back to the good old days when everyone knew their place.

Why would the stable genius keep a policy made by a senile old man? He has had plenty of time to change it.

The job is only dangerous in the big cities. I donâ(TM)t know what percentage of police are in big cities but I bet you most police in the majority of towns in America have never shot their gun. As far as the pay is concerned if you look at the budgets of most towns I bet you with overtime and other perks the highest paid employees are usually in the police department.

NIO and CATL have battery swap stations in China. You should take a look at some of the videos on YouTube. NIO does Battery as a service where you lease the battery.

Why do Americans tell you how bad other people/countries are and when you say the US has done bad things they say the bad things they have done are not as bad as Country A, B, or C. Your are the good guys? Why hold yourselves to a level just above bad countries. Aim higher. There is a post that shows up on Reddit every so often that quotes some journalist saying something to the effect that you might think what the US does is bad, but at least we have a free press to tell about the bad things we do. If China was in charge you would never find out about the bad things they do. This is supposed to make people feel better about the bad things the US has done.

I do not have a car, so my taxes shouldnâ(TM)t pay to maintain roads and highways. I do not have kids in school my taxes shouldnâ(TM)t pay for schools. I have never had a fire at my house I donâ(TM)t want to pay for the fire department. People with cars, kids and house fires are not pulling their weight. They are freeloading off me. We need a system where your money is only for stuff that you use. Come to think of it I have no issues with Russians and Irans, my tax money should not be used for the military.

You cannot use reasoning and logic to convince them that his plans are stupid and will lead to very bad things . We need to just see this through so they can see the results for themselves. If we keep saying itâ(TM)s going to end badly and doing things to mitigate the results they will just say everything would have been great if the libs hadnâ(TM)t stopped the great plans. Then they will elect someone else who will convince them that their lives are shit because the libs prevented Trump from fixing everything. And we will have to go through all this craziness again.

You really look at the world around you and think that leaving things as there are things will eventually get to a point that people are judged just on who they are without any policies to encourage change? It seems people like to think there is no longer any racism in society. It's just people making noise and wanting special treatment. I wonder before the 70s in this country if the people that worked the segregated lunch counters and stores, the Teachers and Principals that worked at the segregated schools, all the people that supported segregation did they think that segregation were racist. I bet you that they didn't think that it was racist, because just like you they know that racism is bad, so they would never do anything racist. Do you think segregation was racist?

If only we lived in a country where everyone was treated fairly and equally from the start then we wouldn't have to come up with polices to fix the results of racist and sexist policies/laws from the past. Only 24 human beings have orbited the moon, all white men, but that had nothing to do with racism and sexism right? It's because like the Under Secretary of State in the State Department Darren Beattie said "Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work" If you forefathers were not racists and sexists then you wouldn't have to worry about DEI.

The majority of the voters is not the majority of the people.

Checking for IDs is not inherently racist, but in America mostly based on history it is racist. A lot of rules and laws in a lot of countries are based on things that happened in the past. You can act like you don't know that, one person one vote has never been a reality in this country. Voter suppression has always existed. Even today doing election time billboards are put up, call centers are used to call people in black neighborhoods to tell them the wrong info on vote locations, dates and times. Stop being racist and people will stop calling you racist.

The U.K.’s Investigatory Powers Act 2016. Who was in power then? Here is a quote from a 2017 newspaper article. "A report in The Sun this week quoted a Conservative minister saying that should the government be re-elected, which polls suggest it will, it will move quickly to compel social media firms to hand over decrypted data. The paper quoted an unnamed government minister saying: “The social media companies have been laughing in our faces for too long”, and suggested that all tech companies with more than 10,000 users will face having to significantly adapt their technology to comply with the decryption law."
