People don't want to pay for something that they previously got for free. It is like when a woman sleeps with a guy all the time yet wonders why he won't make her his girlfriend. Why buy the cow when you get the milk for free? Basic human nature. |

Obviously the mail in ballots are catching things up like everybody said they would

It should be discussed as to why people no longer trust the government and scientific community's knowledge.
It's easy to bag on the Black Ops and Taco's of the world. And lord knows I have done more than my fair share of that. Playing some Devil's Advocate here, but once those institutions are caught lying...once their rhetoric is seen as hypocrisy and the data doesn't match what they're selling, it sows distrust. Which naturally leads to, "why should i trust your knowledge over mine?" "what ulterior motives do you have?" We can't just dismiss people as crazy all the time. Science, naturally is ever changing. The whole nature of science is to question, change and adapt. So we shouldn't just dismiss those who fly against main stream thought. Truth is that it's a healthy and necessary part of society.

In fairness, I stop listening anytime someone says 'misinformation' these days.
It's remarkable how often the 'misinformation' being discussed is something they just happen to disagree with. I'm not sure how anyone can have lived through the last 2 years and still lean into such slanted garbage. It's the new 'fake news' and certainly no more entitled to be given any sort of weight.

I jokingly suggested recently that we let our left-leaning mods pick 5 right-leaning people to ban from DC and our right-leaning mods pick 5 left-leaning people to ban from DC. I'm sure it would fail miserably, but I'm a firm believer that the issue with political discussions is that conversations are dominated by the insane nutjobs on either end of the spectrum. Would be fascinating to try it.
(But we probably won't.) |

Big Tobacco, Big Climate Change, COVID, etc have revealed that data gets twisted around for an agenda. Science isn't as pure as people pretend. |

It was illegal to call people p-dos, so you just filtered it and now it's ok to call people the filtered word, as well as groomers, which means the same thing. So now, it's worse than ever. You say you want to clean up the garbage, but instead of actually enforcing one of the few actual rules, you just shrugged it off and made it worse. |

There are several posts in here that are giving this thread the vibe of the “Non-political Covid thread”, where if I were to respond to them I’d get booted from the thread.
