Banning instagram will likely lead to a more educated citizenry.

Never judge something based on the could it can do if applied correctly, judge it based on the harm it can do if applied with malicious intent.

Are we sure they aren't looking for violators of their draconian Covid-19 policies?

It's the bureaucracies, not the politicians per se. The bureaucracies are the machine, they pretty much control everything.

The media examples provided, Time and CNN are not held accountable for disinformation. They spread disinformation and propaganda regularly, especially CNN. Most "old" media companies do, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, The New York Times, etc. Trying to stop disinformation is always problematic. The main problem is, who gets to decide what is misinformation? I would rather see all of the opinions and facts available and then make up my own mind. There would be less of a trust issue if the media and governments weren't wrong so often. climate change is real, the cause is not so clear cut. When the government scientists are caught either cooking the books or using data from sensors that are known to be defective, their credibility erodes. The governments told us that the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 came from a wet market in Wuhan, China. There was early evidence that this was not correct and that the virus actually came from the Wuhan Virology Lab. The people that listened to that evidence were called conspiracy theorists. Eighteen months later, the evidence is more clear and the "experts" are starting to admit that it probably came from the lab. Fauci adamantly denied U.S. Government funding of change-of-function research at the Wuhan Virology Lab. Months later, evidence is produced to show the U.S. Government did fund the research and Fauci knew and lied about it. Fauci has been wrong on nearly every claim he has made about the virus. We had nowhere near the deaths he predicted. The U.S. would have had far less had New York Mayor Cuomo not murdered 15,000 in nursing homes. Governor Whitmer did the same in Michigan but I don't think we have the numbers yet because she hid them. The FBI planned to kidnap Governor Whitmer and then foiled their own plot and arrested incompetent followers of the FBI plans. A clear case of entrapment. The FBI had 12 paid informants, some made $50,000 or more. Some of those paid informants were put in leadership roles in the "militia." One FBI agent tried to have one of the informant's frame an innocent man and to delete the texts detailing the frame. Thankfully the guy didn't delete the texts. The lead FBI agent has been fired for domestic abuse, unrelated to the plot. The incident and firing do expose his character though. All of these things make it hard to trust anything the government or government scientists say. There is no science to support the lockdowns or vaccine mandates. You can still get sick, hospitalized, and even die after being fully vaccinated. The virus is 99.8% survivable. More for the young and healthy and less for the old and unhealthy. The lack of efficacy for the vaccines caused the CDC to have to redefine vaccine on their website so they could still call them vaccines. The Pfizer vaccine is the only one with FDA approval. Federal law states that if there is an FDA approved vaccine, the use of others under Emergency Use Authorization is forbidden. They are still using the others, in violation of Federal law. There are likely similar laws in other countries.

I'm not sure about Google, but many companies have behavior standards written into their contracts. Those standards say that you can't bad-mouth the company. If you don't like the contract, don't sign it. I would expect that union workers protesting on the public lawn is covered in the contracts.

I'm sure they'll find they started back in early 2001. It just depends on how many deaths they need to continue the fascism.

Please provide a list of subsidies they get. Remember, a subsidy is something that the government gives them. It is not letting them keep a portion of what they already earned. The government has no money to pay subsidies. They only have money that they've stolen from people at gunpoint. If they let me keep a portion of what I've earned instead of paying more taxes, that is not a subsidy. Taking my money and giving it to people who have paid no income tax is a subsidy.

Why not? We used to expect it all of the time. When I purchased a television, I could take it to the place I purchased it and have it fixed or I could buy all the parts to fix it at a local radio supply house and fix it myself. There were also television repairmen that would come to your house and fix it if you wanted. It was that way for radio, automobiles, refrigerators, and most other products. It is only recently that we've become unwilling to learn how to fix products. You'd think all the climate change groups would not want us to fix our products instead of having them end up in a landfill when there is still lots of life but for one one two parts.

You do realize that in the "island nations,' the people there aren't minorities. I assume by "minority" you are talking about non-whites? A 2019 study determined that about 10% of the world's 7.7 billion people are white. Another source showed about 16.5% of the world's population is white. Maybe "minority" doesn't mean what you think it means.

You can hoard money but you can't hoard wealth. Wealth is unlimited. The top 1% is not the same people every year. People move in and out of levels of wealth. Just about anybody can become wealthy at any time. They just need to put in a little effort. However, not everybody strives to be wealthy. Some people can be happy with a little and some people will never be happy, no matter how much wealth they accumulate. Giving people a guaranteed income will make some of those people lazy. You could have 10 millionaires and 10 of the poorest people, take the millions from the millionaires and give it to the poor. Within a year, most of the millionaires would again have millions and most of the poor would again be poor. People become millionaires because they don't think like poor people. People remain poor because they don't think like millionaires.

On a positive side note: Federal judge has ‘serious concerns’ about the way Utah trains drug-sniffing police dogs. https://www.sltrib.com/news/20...

You may be correct, George Soros and Bill Gates may have figured out they were pushing to hard for Agenda 21 and told him to back down a bit so the proles won't get to uppity.
