From Aldous Huxley: “The greater part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads responsibility, and desires nothing better than to be told what to do. Provided the rulers do not interfere with its material comforts and its cherished beliefs, it is perfectly happy to let itself be ruled.”That said, it’s possible that the 2024 presidential election may present an interesting counter-example. As we sit here, 10 months away, we notice an incredible level of animus when it comes to Trump–even from members of his own party. Traditional Republicans may be concerned that the GOP is rapidly establishing itself as a criminal enterprise, and thus untenable to their voting base.
With each passing day, Trump’s rhetoric reveals to an even greater degree his cruelty, his vindictiveness, and most of all, his lack of understanding of the U.S. Constitution. The only thing he has on his side is his capacity to mirror the hate and ignorance of his MAGA base.
We used to be proud of our country.
I’ve been to Japan. They’re sharp people.
At the very least, they don’t have people stupid enough to indiscriminately shoot water all over a village because of a kitchen fire.
I hope I never have the displeasure to meet someone stupid enough to believe that this device:
a) eliminates food waste and lowers grocery bills (unwanted food is thrown into this machine vs. the garbage), and
b) eliminates all waste. It uses a great deal of electricity. Does your garbage can or compost pile do that?
