They are doing lots of things much better than you.
You could actually learn a lot, from the successes of others.
But, you would rather believe that you're the best at everything.

Sure, if it isn't FEMA, it's either the states or no one.
Do they get any money from Trump to organize their own
Emergency Management, like FEMA, but on a state level?
If not, all those states need to significantly raise state taxes.

When have you last seen Republicans create anything?
They can only brake things.

True, less tourists might result in less infectious diseases.

The difference between the coal miners and the tourist industry is the following:
- New energy brings much more, much healthier and better paying jobs, than the job of coal miner. In total that shift is positive for society.
- The collapse of the tourist industry is not replaced by anything. It's just a loss of your GDP, which isn't compensated by anything else. There are no other jobs coming in its place.

However, you won't have a shortage of jobs, because of all the migrant workers you are putting in a concentration camp. Your tourist workers just shouldn't be picky, because those jobs aren't much fun. That's why you had those migrant workers for them.

What policy's did Biden pass, that resulted in the jobs go over seas? Please list them.
Link your 'policies' to Biden, because you offer NO evidence that he has anything to do with what you are listing.

Why do you blame Biden for AI?

"In his first days back in office on January 23, 2025, President Trump revoked Biden’s AI regulations and signed Executive Order 14179, effectively deregulating federal oversight of AI"

🚨 Concerns & Criticisms
- Labor and consumer advocates warn that removing oversight puts worker rights and safety at risk .
- Meta’s Yann LeCun labeled the rollback a “witch hunt in academia”, fearing it drives researchers overseas.
- Federal AI body (AISI) cuts tied to the rollback could gut safety and equity efforts.
- Some analysts caution that spotty federal policy may lead to patchwork state laws, confusion, and compliance burdens.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"There’s no evidence that President Biden has signed any legislation that encourages U.S. job offshoring. In fact, his proposals and enacted policies have specifically targeted the opposite"

"Here are several major Biden-era policies that have directly helped bring back jobs to the U.S.:

🏗️ Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) – Nov 2021

$550 billion in new spending on roads, bridges, broadband, EV charging, clean water, transit, ports, etc.

Funded over 60,000 projects, driving construction and forestry-related employment. Analysts found IIJA, CHIPS, and IRA together spurred factory and utility job growth across the country.

💡 CHIPS and Science Act – Aug 2022

Carved out $52 billion in grants and tax credits for U.S. semiconductor manufacturing.

Since passage:
$450 billion committed to chip and electronics manufacturing
17 new fabs, dozens of expansions across 21 states
Expected to create 125,000+ construction and manufacturing jobs, with 200+ projects already launched and 135,800 jobs projected.

🌿 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) – Aug 2022

The largest investment in clean energy in U.S. history.

Over $300 billion in private clean-energy investments announced so far; over 330,000 clean-energy jobs created; projected up to 1.5 million additional jobs over the next decade.

🇺🇸 American Rescue Plan & XR Programs

The $1.9 trillion COVID relief law helped jump-start the economy post-pandemic, accelerating the recovery.

Strengthened “Buy American” rules (raising domestic content threshold to 60–75%), directing $120 billion in federal procurement to U.S.-made goods.

🛡️ Executive Orders & Defense Production Act (DPA)

Signed executive orders boosting U.S. manufacturing (“Made in America”) to incentivize reshoring and facility revitalization.

Invoked the DPA (June 2022) to accelerate domestic clean-energy tech production (solar panels, heat pumps, grid components), leading to new manufacturing jobs in underserved communities.

📊 Impact & Job Trends

The U.S. economy added 16.6 million jobs from Biden’s inauguration through early 2025—it’s the only presidency with monthly job creation throughout its term so far.

367,000 manufacturing jobs added since January 2021—the fastest manufacturing-sector growth in nearly 30 years.

Manufacturing employment climbed to its highest level in ~15 years, with nearly 789,000 factory jobs added since Biden took office."

Is that an argument for why it would be better if there was no FEMA?

You base your opinion only on what you know from the US.
If you don't want to inform yourself about what the rest of the world does,
your worldview on this is totally skewed.

Stop repeating the same nonsense over and over.
There are good ways to stop people "taking advantage".
Some people take advantage of other people, by STEALING.
We have the LAW and the POLICE to sort that out. It's not difficult.

Elon Musk literally cut pediatric cancer research. You're not for helping them.

You're always worried that poor people are taking advantage of a system, but I see a system where the wealthy is taking advantage. Are they working a billion times harder than you ever did? They are taking advantage of ALL OF US. You believe those people to be better than everyone else. You think they have earned what they have, but you are forgetting that they have NEVER achieved their position alone. It's the labor of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people working for them, for too low wages and millions to hundreds of millions of people paying too much for their products or services, that resulted in their wealth.
Their money comes with power. All of them use their power to our detriment and their profit. Some only do mild damage, like encouraging consumerism with cheap stuff that breaks easily or products that go obsolete after a year. Others to more damage, trough pollution or selling weapons to dangerous extremists. You want to believe that all of them are gods, but most of them are demons, to use religious terminology.

I think you've tried, but you couldn't even make Grok confirm your ideas.

I'm NOT supporting "liberal ideas", related to housing.
"Liberal" in that sense mean exactly what you want. Liberalization of housing means: privatization and deregulation. That's exactly what our government did and which resulted in skyrocketing rent and house prices.

I'm not a liberal, I'm a socialist, I support public ownership.
That's the opposite of privatization and deregulation.

First get your terminology straight, before you discuss economic models for housing.

Right wing policies, (neo)liberal policies, privatization and deregulation,
have NEVER on any significant scale resulted in lower living costs for the public.

However, left-wing (not liberal) policies have been proven to work many times.
When governments increase public ownership, regulation, and long-term investment in housing, affordability, quality, and access tend to improve, especially for lower- and middle-income households. This has been tried and done large scale many times, all over the world, to great success.
There is overwhelming evidence that it worked in Vienna, Austria, Sweden, Singapore and The Netherlands, until the 1990s. I have lived the successes and I have seen the results of privatization and deregulation all around me.

Houses are not so expensive because of stupid regulations, houses are so expensive because it's one of the simplest way for rich people to exploit poor people, when a government privatizes and deregulates housing.

I don't THINK that my ideas the only 1's that might work.
There is just a FUCK-TON of EVIDENCE that your ideas DON'T work and mine DO.
Civilization has been building houses for a while now. Right?
All the ideas have been tried and tested, all over the world.
They just keep telling you that you need deregulation, because it makes a small group of wealthy people even more wealthy, over the backs of everyone else.
You just listen to the people who get paid to LIE FOR THEM.



By Ananas2xLekker at 14,Jul,25 12:57
What are you accusing me of thinking now? Did I ever said that?

What I want is that even people who have a 60 IQ still can live a worthwhile life.
My girlfriends cousin has 2 children who will never be able to "live out their lives" without help from humanity. They would be proud of being independent, if they ever achieve that, but they will most likely need some help, for the rest of their lives.

You are telling me about "pride and independence", but the video showed people
who have lost all dignity. It's a shameful result of your society.

I would take pride in a country that doesn't let down ANY of its citizens.
I support people who have the goal for humanity to be better than what we came from, to shed our savagery and selfishness, people who care about others, and strive for a more just and compassionate world and our continued existence.
That's something you are incapable of understanding.



By Ananas2xLekker at 14,Jul,25 09:55
Yep, I think it's very weird that people like you, who's life was stepped on by the system pretty hard, are the strongest opponents of a system that wouldn't do that to people
and the biggest supporters of a system that kicks people down even harder.

People with an IQ of 60 shouldn't be living like that.
They cannot take care of themselves, isn't that OBVIOUS?
Don't you think that the government has a job to do here?
I know you fear "I'm from the government and I'm here to help".
But there are not many people living like this, in countries where it does.
But SOMEHOW, you think this video supports YOUR worldview. Yeah, that's WEIRD!



By Ananas2xLekker at 14,Jul,25 08:24
If that happened to me, I wanted the whole world to come help.
Likewise, when I see people in need, I also want the whole world to help.
That's, sympathy / empathy, but also just reciprocity.
We don't have much control over luck / bad luck in the world, but we do
have control over how we treat (other) people, who are dealt a bad hand.

However, I understand that there is no unlimited pool of money,
so I support a system that uses the money most efficiently.
I think that's always a system that shares the risk with the biggest group.

It's like with insurances; you share the risk with other people,
instead setting aside money personally, for when something happens.
Almost no one can set aside enough money for a new house, when it burns down,
so you share the risk with a million or more other people.
Still, an insurance company could go bankrupt, if it only insured one city,
and there was a big fire burning down a lot of houses.
That's why you want to share the risk with as many people as possible.

The one thing that limits the size of the group is solidarity. People need
to feel some empathy for others in the group that they share the risk with.
They don't want to pay for people that they don't care about. They forget
that it's beneficial for everyone to maximize the size of the group, as soon
as people that they don't feel empathy towards are helped by the system.
That's what you see happening with FEMA.

Are we talking about ANYTHING fraudulent? I'm not denying that.
It's just not the billions that you say it is.
And Elon Musk and his gang haven't found ANY real fraud.
Where are all the lawsuits then, when he found ALL that fraud?

Your country already has audits of all your government agencies. They always find SOME waste, fraud and abuse, but where Elon was looking, those are some of the cleanest agencies you have.

In November 2022, the DoD failed its FIFTH consecutive audit, reportedly unable to account for 61% of its assets—amounting to roughly $2.1 trillion out of a $3.5 trillion total asset base.

It is 100% clear that there IS a lot of unaccounted money in your Department of Defense. Did Elon go there?
No, of course not, because Elon himself gets lots of money from the Department of Defense and he doesn't want any investigation on how he's spending that money.

Your social security system was audited in 2022 too:

SSA Financial Audits: “Unmodified Opinion”
The FY 2022 Agency Financial Report (AFR) marked the SSA’s 36th year producing audited financial statements and the 29th consecutive year receiving an unmodified opinion (meaning “clean” audit)

For Old‑Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) from FY 2015–2022, only 0.84% of total benefit payments were improper, though this still amounted to $71.8 billion.
How much are they cutting Social Security?

A 2021 SSA OASDI accuracy review found:
99.3% case accuracy for overpayments, and
98.3% case accuracy for underpayments.

Dollar accuracy rates were similarly high: 99.4% for overpayments and 98.5% for underpayments.

Administrative costs in 2023 were about 0.5% of total benefits paid (roughly $7.2 billion expense against $1.38 trillion payout)

Related to Medicaid and Medicare.
Medicaid: ~$81 billion in improper payments
Medicare: ~$31.7 billion in improper payments
How much are they cutting again?

When you want to make systems more efficient, that takes a lot of effort.
You cannot just CUT waste fraud and abuse. That's primitive thinking.

Exactly, some states might be lucky to exist in a safe area, with much less hurricanes or tornadoes that can level, rivers that can flood, forests that can fire, seismic zones that can earthquake, volcanoes that can erupt, winters that can freeze, summers that can drought or rain that can landslide or mudslide. Then they are just lucky, that they don't have to put a shit-ton of money aside, for a 'rainy' day?
How about the unlucky states? Many of them are red states, by the way. They would be held back a lot from that necessity. That doesn't just affect those states, that puts a break on the economy of the US as a whole.

Cooperation is always favorable to everyone as a whole. In economy 1 + 1 = 3.

Personally, I much prefer strawberry yogurt and not at body temperature.
The taste and texture is fine, but I wouldn't eat it for breakfast.
I just feel that it's a horny thing to do, when I'm horny.
My avatar might be a bit misleading, on that department.

I thought I could say I had hope about you, but you took it away instantly:
"i still don't get how you think we have rights just because we are born."

It's not something magical or supernatural, that makes me think
we HAVE rights, it's a principle. I ACCEPT it as true
(We hold these truths to be self-evident), for a PURPOSE.
The purpose is to improve civilization, for the well-being
of the most living and thinking beings who are part of it.

Do you think it was self-evident, that people are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness? That was very much NOT self-evident, at a time when two sides had just stopped brutally murdering each other, over who controls the people and the continent. Your Founding Fathers wanted the wars to stop, so they DECIDED that people should have those rights. It was self-evidently NEEDED.
They goddamned didn't get it from god. God was nowhere to be found.
That was pragmatic make-belief (intentionally misspelled make-believe).

If everyone accepts human rights, that means less genocide and torture.
Because genocide and torture have a negative effect on civilization.
Human suffering has a negative effect on the motivation to solve problems.
Maybe not the problems causing the human suffering NOW, but definitely
all the other problems, that will or might cause human suffering long-term.

There is no morality, without living and thinking beings creating it.
The only thing that is objectively true is that some actions have a
positive effect on the well-being of the living and thinking beings
and other actions have a negative effect on the well-being of the
living and thinking beings. Some actions have a local or personal effect
and some actions a widespread effect.

That means morality is FLUID. Circumstances can change,
which can turn previously 'good' actions into 'bad' actions.
Still, the purpose behind the morality does not change, improve civilization.

When a horrible disease has killed humanity, except for 100 people,
I will surely change my mind on abortion. "Sorry, you were raped women,
we will punish the bastard, but you need to deliver this child."
"You won't have to care for it, if you don't want to and we will help you
during your labor. Humanity needs this from you. We need more humans."
This is not such a time.

Here’s what current data shows (as of early July 2025):
⚕️ Vaccination status

The U.S. has reported 1,288 confirmed measles cases in 2025, the highest annual total in over three decades.

According to CDC surveillance, about 92% of these cases occurred in people who were unvaccinated or whose vaccination status was unknown.

More detailed CDC data for Jan–Apr 2025 (800 cases) show 96% unvaccinated or unknown, and — excluding Texas cases — approximately 77% confirmed unvaccinated, 14% unknown status.

Therefore, of the 1,288 cases:

Approximately 1,185 to 1,185 + were unvaccinated or had unknown vaccination status.

Confirmed vaccinated cases (1–2 doses) represent only a very small minority (~2–3%).

🛂 Illegal immigration status

There is no credible data or CDC reporting on how many of the measles cases involved individuals who are undocumented immigrants.

Public health authorities — including the CDC — do not categorize cases by immigration status, and news coverage does not attribute any portion of cases to migrants or “illegals.”

While some political figures have suggested a link between migration and disease spread, investigations emphasize that cases are mostly driven by low vaccination coverage in specific communities, not immigration status.

🧫 Measles & Immigration: What the Evidence Says
✅ Measles is highly contagious, but outbreaks in the U.S. are almost always tied to:

Unvaccinated U.S. residents traveling abroad (especially to regions with outbreaks, like parts of Asia, Europe, or the Middle East).

Imported cases — people entering the U.S. while infectious (including immigrants, travelers, or even citizens).

Low vaccination rates in some U.S. communities, which allow imported cases to spread.

The CDC and WHO consistently report that the biggest risk factor for measles outbreaks is lack of vaccination, not immigration status per se.

🧪 Are undocumented immigrants more likely to carry measles?

No, not as a group. Most undocumented immigrants come from Latin America, where measles vaccination rates are high — often higher than in parts of the U.S.

For example:

Mexico has a measles vaccination rate of ~97%.

The U.S. national average is ~91%, but pockets of vaccine refusal (e.g., some religious or anti-vax groups) are much lower — even below 80%.

So ironically, undocumented immigrants from Mexico or Central America may be more vaccinated than some U.S.-born populations.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

There's a shitload of anti-vaxxers in Texas. In Gaines County, the epicenter of the
West Texas measles outbreak, the vaccination rate among entering kindergarteners
was as low as ~82%, significantly under the herd immunity benchmark.

Kindergarteners from anti-vax parents, NOT illegals.

You should have a NATIONAL response team, because that's more EFFICIENT.
Can you afford EVERY STATE, to be ready for EVERY CATASTROPHE?
Why have it divided by state's borders? Why not every city?
It's just a nonsense argument, to cut spending for citizens in need.



By Ananas2xLekker at 11,Jul,25 12:13
I can accept that he said it, but the idea that Democrats ignored the border crisis is complete nonsense. They were ready to sign the bipartisan bill with the strongest border protection legislation in history, while Trump demanded that Republicans didn't sign it.
All the Democrats were shouting from the rooftops "PROTECT OUR BORDER!!!".
You are all living in an alternate reality and even Kerry is affected by it.

Kerry is correct that Democrats couldn't get their message out successfully, but he's wrong in saying “He was right. The problem is—we all should have been right. Everybody should have been right, doing the same thing, all moving in the same direction.”. Democrats SHOULD NOT move into the direction of eliminating due process.

One Democrat saying something that you like, is a squirrel.

Here is ONE pastor saying something that most Democratic voters agree on,
while most other pastors are saying the exact opposite. Is he now on CNN,
as an example of the other side, to argue: "We must be right, because this single person from the other side says that we are right on this issue!"?
only registered users can see external links

I'm sure that CNN does that sometimes, but it means NOTHING to ME.
There is someone from the group that is wrong about everything,
agreeing with my point on something? "OK, you're welcome. Is it just this?"
"I don't need you to agree with me, to know I'm right. I have ARGUMENTS!"



By Ananas2xLekker at 11,Jul,25 12:04
"Republicans and the White House have defended the response and argued against placing blame on funding cuts."
Oh sure, they don't want Texans to be angry at them, for good reason.

There is ZERO evidence of any significant wasteful spending, unless you call every dollar spent to help people a waste.

You need good weather forecasting to predict water rising 26 feet in 45 minutes.
They can literally not do as good as a job as before, because of Trump's cuts.
However, I can predict that, without a doubt, far worse floods will happen, more often,
and you will need FEMA to have much more money, if you want to minimize the damage and human suffering.



By Ananas2xLekker at 11,Jul,25 11:49
So, how do you guys like it that Trump sent FEMA to Texas, to help?

And how do you like the following?:
The administration’s FY 2026 budget proposal includes a $646 million cut to FEMA.
It also imposed a freeze of approximately $3.6 billion in unspent FEMA funds.
FEMA has undergone a cut of roughly 20% of its workforce.
Weather forecasting funding at NOAA was cut by $150 million.

phart just accused Bill Gates of
"taking our tax money and sending it so far away it can't help our own citizens in need."
Here is a clear example of Trump taking your tax money far away from helping your own citizens in need.

Well, at least he's cutting taxes for Bill Gates. So some of your money will still go
to poor people, for food and HIV medicine.

Can't you read? I do have a problem with adultery, because it's not HONEST. There are lots of other dishonest ways to hurt your partner than just adultery, which is why "Be honest to each other" is a superior rule to live by.
Apparently, I'm smarter than god, who didn't consider this.
However, it was just primitive people who came up with it, and it shows.

If you want to fuck other people, you're not in a good relationship.
Be honest about it and leave. Find happiness with someone else.

I DO mind killing a BABY, in it's mothers womb, but I'll allow abortion, for
good reasons, not willy-nilly, up to around 20-24 weeks, except special cases. Still, I am all for improvements in healthcare and culture, to reduce abortions.
Making abortions illegal doesn't result in less abortions, just more suffering.

Still unable to read? I think "Honor your father and your mother" is one-sided.
Why shouldn't parents honor their children? Did god not think of that?
The bible endorses killing a child if it doesn't obey its parents.
Are you fucking kidding me? Do you support THAT?

The bible is also full of killing ACTUAL babies. And it supports abortion.
It just supports it for when the man THINKS that his' woman fucked around.
Do YOU think THAT 'baby' has lost its 'value of life'?

I told you what I value; human rights. Basic values that humanism provides, like: Freedom, Equality, Compassion, Empathy, Critical Thinking / Inquiry, Justice, Love for Humanity, Environmental and Social Responsibility, Consent / Autonomy.

Not freedom for me, freedom for everyone. I just understand that the freedom
of one person can have a negative effect on the freedom of another person.
When you give maximum freedom to powerful and wealthy people,
they WILL negatively affect the freedom of a shitload of other people.
Do you really fail to understand that? It's not a difficult concept.

You really need to learn to read or are you just straw-manning?



By Ananas2xLekker at 11,Jul,25 09:04
Bill Gates IS spending his own money to help poor countries.
The US was doing that too. That was actually a good thing you did.
Why do you think that Bill Gates had any part in your tax-dollars going "far away"?
The US stopping that, especially so abruptly is incredibly damaging.
Using your money like that is called 'soft power', it's to your own advantage.

Why do you talk about helping your own citizens in need?
You don't want to. You prefer to help the billionaires, who don't need it.



By Ananas2xLekker at 11,Jul,25 08:25
Sure, he was very lucky to turn his head just at that very moment.

However, I cannot decide what's worse, Trump continuing to destroy your country,
adding chaos to the world and deciding to accelerate climate change, or him dying
that day and giving MAGA a martyr.

This is what happens, if you let Health and Human Services run by a vaccine denialist:

U.S. measles cases hit highest level in 33 years, CDC reports.
only registered users can see external links

"The U.S. has reported 1,288 measles cases this year — the highest number in 33 years, according to the latest figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The last time the U.S. saw more measles cases was in 1992, eight years before the disease was declared eliminated in the country."

"The largest outbreak by far is in Texas. The state has reported 753 measles cases this year. Across the U.S., 155 people have been hospitalized, and three people have died."

Almost every single one of those people is unvaccinated.
There always were many of those people, but it's Trump's policies who are failing to protect those people from their own stupidity.

The measles vaccine isn't some "new technology", it has been proven safe and effective over many decades. Serious side effects are extremely rare, e.g., a severe allergic reaction occurs in about 1 in a million doses.

Your regime is de-eliminating eliminated diseases.

"creating life they don't value" When you cannot explain the value of that life,
with your value system, it doesn't have any when they don't think it has any.
Do you want a kid to be 'punishment'? What a 'contribution to the world' will that kid turn out to be. Again, NO LOGIC, just dogma.

The human rights are based on a simple proposition. I don't need a text, to guide me, I have logic, which enables me to make up my own mind about a human rights laws, instead of taking the text as gospel. When they change something, I can decide whether I think it improves human rights or diminishes it.

The 10 commandments are not primitive to me BECAUSE they are 2000 years old (actually 3,000 to 3,300 years old), but because there is no advanced philosophy behind it. There are texts that are almost as old, that obviously represent much more advanced thinking, mostly from ancient Greece.

Lets address them:
1. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2. You shall not make for yourself a carved image.
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet.

1-4 Are just religion confirming and shows 'god' to be a snowflake.
5 Family is important, but the idea that this is one-sided is primitive shit
6 duh
7 "Be honest to each other" is superior. People are not property.
8 duh
9 "Be honest" is superior. Just "your neighbor"? Tribalism!
10 What? A thoughtcrime? Unless you act on it, it's not a crime.

The ones that are 'duh' can be simply replaced with the idea that other people have rights. The 10 commandments are primitive crap, because it doesn't provide the simple basic values that humanism provides, like: Freedom, Equality, Compassion, Empathy, Critical Thinking / Inquiry, Justice, Love for Humanity, Environmental and Social Responsibility, Consent / Autonomy. It's missing all those principles, while several Greek philosophers were already providing the groundwork for them.
Even the new testament could do better, than the so-called "Divine Revelation".
A neutral eye can see 1000 years of human progression in the morality of it.
Did they supreme being improve their thinking over time? Strange idea.
But even the new testament is flawed. It's still very primitive, but better.

"1 world government" Bullshit right-wing propaganda!
I support countries, with sovereignty, working together for the benefit of all.
Supporting international solidarity isn't supporting a "1 world government".

"What if those rights don't work?"
Then humanity will never outgrow it savagery.

How much more do you want people to work? Isn't it enough already?
How about humans actually getting to enjoy their lives?
Productivity has skyrocketed for decades. People's lives didn't improve.
I'm disagreeing with you because your ideas aren't based in reality.

"would you feel the same way about it as you do what was written in history?"
I have no idea what you're trying to ask here.

"it will grow to become a man or woman that can contribute to the world"
So, why are you ONLY assigning this value to fetuses?
You didn't provide this argument for anyone outside of the womb.
Do you now acknowledge that those have value too?
The problem with your "value system" is that it is not consistent.

"and procreate to ensure humans are on earth for a long time."
That procreation it the biggest problem threatening humans on earth.
If we want to humans to keep on existing, that procreating needs to decrease a lot.
Too many new humans do not contribute to the world, they contribute to our demise.
If humanity grows from 10 billion to 20 billion, humanity doesn't improve by 2X,
but we destroy the last bits of nature AND THEN WE ALL FUCKING DIE.

That's why my "value system" related to why humans have human rights is not related to their personal contribution to the world. Your "value system" would mean that someone who is fully disabled doesn't have any value. To me, their human rights
don't differ at all from the human rights of a genius inventor.

I don't call babies a clump of cells, I call the stage before zygote a clump of cells, which you call a baby. To me, it's a baby when it is capable of living outside of the womb, without a machine to keep it alive.

Your argument shows that your ideology is mostly about punishing people for having sex. You still haven't explained why a baby has any value, besides what its parents assign to it. If you have the same "value system" as the other extreme right-wingers, you tell me why they strongly forbid the abortion of a malformed zygote or fetus or even a dead one. What "contribution to the world" do they provide?
It shows their ideology to be based on nothing by dogma, not logic.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now for my "value system": people have human rights, because that's a vital condition to achieve a flourishing, peaceful and sustainable civilization. If we all accept that humans have rights, then we might finally stop horribly murdering and torturing each other, all the goddamn time. It's the basis for humanism. It's also the basis for your Declaration of Independence.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

That's 100% the identical idea as the basis for humanism. Of course, you need to do some rewriting of history, and interpret things literally, to make belief that it isn't, but it fully support my ideology. They just added the "Creator", because everyone was religious back then. It helps acceptance, when you can make the idiots believe that it's a Commandment From God. It works just as well in a secular society. Probably better, because religion adds a lot of baggage and destroys people's ability to think logically.

You fail to explain why a fetus "matters".
"most lives matter to those living them". A fetus doesn't.

If lives only matter, because it matter to those living them, why do you care?
Why would you be against assisted suicide? They WANT to die!

When it's very easy to come up with a better 10 commandments,
than supposedly god did, I don't believe a god was involved at all.
It was just something that primitive people came up with, mostly to assure their religion.

I think the human rights are better, because it's based on 2000 years further advancement in the debate on morality.



By Ananas2xLekker at 09,Jul,25 19:24
"mercy killings"?

You literally told me that you think that NO ONE HAS ANY VALUE.
You also said that the whole idea of human rights is nonsense.
According to you, people don't have any responsibility for each other.
That's literally saying: "No lives matter".
Or did I not understand you correctly?
In that case, explain HOW anyone matters, according to you.

I support the right of abortion, because the woman's life matters.
A clump of cells only matters, when the woman thinks it does.
When it's a clump of cells in a test tube, it only has value related to
the possibility to help people with a desire to have children.
During its development, the clump of cells gains what "matters".
Still, at any point during gestation, the life of the woman carrying it matters MORE.

I support the right to euthanasia, because the quality of life matters too.
People with functioning brains have a right to life, not an obligation.

So you are just straw-manning people, who YOU don't understand.

Interested in starting the gender discussion again?
Isn't this the 'Black lives matter' topic?
Or are you thinking that "XX =XY" is race related?
NO ONE is claiming that "XX =XY". That's just you failing to understand it.

There are people who were assigned the sex "Male" at birth, by the doctor, because they had all the "Male" characteristics at birth.
There are also people who were assigned the sex "Female" at birth, by the doctor, because they had all the "Female" characteristics at birth.

If you don't understand anything about it, then don't try to start a discussion on it.
I don't know anything about ART, so when phart tried to start a discussion on whether
the paintings made by Hunter Biden were art, I told him that we cannot discuss that, because NEITHER of us knows ANYTHING about art. On my vacation in Paris, I saw many paintings that looked like a toddler made them, but those were highly priced and treasured works of art. Maybe I would start to understand it, if I put in the effort studying it.
But, you come around and think that you know everything, on no effort studying it at all.

100% confidence, 0% knowledge. Just your "common sense".
Too bad, some thing are a scientific question, not a gut feeling.

You never say what you do for a living, or if your profession requires ANY knowledge
on any subject. If you do have that, and I don't, you could pull the "authority card" on that subject. Then you can call "bullshit". On not even elementary school "book smarts" on biology related subjects, you cannot do that, for the discussion around sex and gender.
Then I pull the "authority card" for at least understanding cell biology and genetics.
At least I'm willing to listen to what the specialists on the science subject have to say,
you only care to listen to propagandists.

What they gain with no taxes on tips, they will loose in many different other ways.

About 60-72% of the total tax relief is going to the top 20%.
The top 5% gets about 45% of the total tax relief.
The top 1% will get about $600 billion in tax-cuts over a decade.
It's impossible to do that, without it affecting the rest of you.

Since most of the tax-cuts are unaccounted for, it adds $3-4 billion to the debt by 2034.
That will increase inflation for those people who already cannot afford groceries.
Trump is doing what you accused Biden of doing AGAIN.

And he isn't doing it with investments into your economy, like Biden did,
he is doing it to reward his wealthy donors.

There are already clinics shutting down, because of Trump's cuts.
You cannot cut SNAP, without it hurting the poor.

It's bullshit propaganda that all those programs are bloated and fraudulent.
You think feeding the poor is waste by definition, but those programs are doing
what they are designed to do, pretty efficiently, and people rely on them.

This is how Trump was 'censoring' info about Biden's actions:

1. Denying or Distorting Economic Comparisons between his and Biden's administration.
- Trump frequently claims the U.S. economy under Biden is a “disaster,” despite multiple independent metrics showing strong performance—especially in terms of:
Job growth, Wage gains (especially for low-wage workers), Stock market highs, GDP growth rebound after COVID
Trump has repeatedly: Dismissed these statistics as “fake” or “manipulated,” especially when they contrast with his own record.
- Claimed, without evidence, that government agencies under Biden are “cooking the books.” -> “Those numbers are fake... Total nonsense. Everyone knows the economy was better under me.”
In contrast, independent analyses (e.g. from Moody’s, CBO, Bloomberg, Goldman Sachs) show that the Biden economy recovered faster post-COVID, with higher job creation rates than under Trump pre-pandemic.

2. Removal of government data and advisory panels (2025)
In early 2025, the administration:
- Pulled thousands of pages from CDC, DOJ, NIH, FBI, and other agencies—covering long-COVID, HIV, crime statistics, etc.
- Disbanded the Federal Economic Statistics Advisory Committee (FESAC), weakening the oversight of GDP and jobs data.
As a result, the quality and availability of economic statistics declined, prompting concerns from economists and researchers.

3. Attempting to Rewrite History. Trump has tried to:
- Take credit for economic gains that occurred after he left office (e.g., jobs added in 2021–2022),
- Claim the economy was “perfect” under him until COVID, ignoring pre-2020 signs of a manufacturing slowdown and trade war costs.
This has involved a massive social media and rally-based disinformation campaign—not official censorship, but information manipulation.

4. Trump Called to Punish Media Outlets and Curb Speech
During both his presidencies and campaign rallies, Trump has:
- Repeatedly called for shutting down or suing news outlets like CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times.
- Pledged to "go after the media" that publishes “fake news” (which often includes facts unfavorable to him).
- Pushed the idea of “government control” over press credentials, and in 2024-2025 suggested reworking FCC rules to go after “disinformation,” as he defines it.

This aligns with efforts to suppress truthful but politically inconvenient information, including strong jobs numbers or inflation falling under Biden.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Trump’s efforts to block or weaken information about his current economic performance have been well-documented — and these actions serve to obscure signs that his economy may be struggling. Here are the most clear-cut examples:

1. 📊 Blocking or Delaying Trade and Agricultural Reports

Politico (cited by Elliot Morris) reports that Trump officials delayed and redacted a USDA farm-trade report, which showed that the trade deficit in agricultural goods is growing, not shrinking—contrary to Trump’s narrative about tariffs. They withheld the written analysis, releasing only raw numbers.

2. 🔒 Disbanding Economic Data Oversight Committees

Trump’s administration disbanded the Federal Economic Statistics Advisory Committee (FESAC) and several other expert panels under the Commerce Department, removing independent oversight from economic data—like inflation, employment, and GDP.

3. 🧹 Deleting or Suppressing Public Data

Since early 2025, thousands of government webpages and datasets—covering areas like public health, crime, climate, and economic statistics—have been removed or altered following executive orders. Much of this data had already been collected but was made unavailable to the public.

4. 🔥 Reducing Data Collection & Agency Cuts

The Labor Department’s cost-cutting and staff reductions have reduced inflation data collection, eliminated wholesale price measures, and threaten the BLS’s accuracy.
The White House proposed easier firing of statisticians “whose figures prove politically inconvenient,” creating a chilling effect around accurate economic reporting.

Debunked by ChatGPT:

This is a **promotional summary** of the *One Big Beautiful Bill Act* from a pro-Trump or Republican-aligned source. It emphasizes the **benefits** and **talking points**, often using **best-case projections**, while omitting or minimizing the bill’s **cuts to social safety nets, healthcare, and clean energy**.

Here’s a **breakdown** of what’s **fact**, what’s **spin**, and what’s **missing**, based on independent analysis:

🔍 **CLAIMS VS. REALITY**

🧾 CLAIM: *"Wages up by $5,500–$10,500; Take-home pay up by $7,200–$12,200"*

**Spin**: These are *projections* based on tax cuts and hypothetical wage growth. They **don’t reflect guaranteed raises**—they assume trickle-down from corporate tax incentives.
* **Reality**: Independent estimates show modest average tax savings for middle-income earners (~$1,200–$1,800/year), while **high earners** gain much more.
* **Meanwhile**, these savings are offset by **cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and public services** many families rely on.

💰 CLAIM: *"No Taxes on Tips and Overtime"*

**Partially True**: The bill **exempts tip income and overtime wages** from federal income tax—but **not from payroll taxes** (like Social Security/Medicare).
**Benefit**: Good for tipped workers and those in gig/hospitality industries.
**Caveat**: Critics argue this creates complexity and encourages underreporting.

🧒 CLAIM: *"Expands Child Tax Credit; Supports 40M Families"*

**Half-true**: The Child Tax Credit is increased and made permanent, but **not fully refundable** like in the 2021 American Rescue Plan.
* So **poorer families may get less or nothing** unless they have taxable income—unlike under Biden’s expanded version.

🧺 CLAIM: *"Slashes Deficits by $2 Trillion"*

**False by most neutral estimates**: The bill **increases** the federal deficit by **$3.4 trillion over 10 years**, mainly due to permanent tax cuts for individuals and corporations ([CRFB](https://www.crfb.org/)).

🌽 CLAIM: *"Supports Farmers; Raises Death Tax Exemption"*

**True, but skewed**: Increasing the estate tax exemption helps **very wealthy landowners**, not most small farmers (only about 0.1% of estates were taxed under prior law).
* Crop insurance/rural support may help, but **Medicaid cuts hurt rural hospitals and elderly care**—a major concern in red states.

🔨 CLAIM: *"Massive manufacturing and small business tax relief"*

**Partly true**: The bill includes **expensing for capital investment**, lower corporate tax rates, and extended Opportunity Zones.
* Critics argue this **overwhelmingly favors large firms and developers**, with little oversight.

🌎 CLAIM: *"Ends Green New Scam; unleashes energy"*

**Very partisan framing**. The bill:

* **Repeals EV tax credits**
* Cuts **wind, solar, energy efficiency credits**
* **Prioritizes oil, gas, coal**, and **nuclear** production
* It **rescinds climate spending** from the Inflation Reduction Act, which was helping transition rural areas to cheaper renewable sources.

⚔️ CLAIM: *"Boosts ICE, Border Patrol, Coast Guard"*

**True**: Massive new funding—$10,000 annual bonuses, **10,000 new ICE agents**, and finishing the wall.
* This is a **central part** of the bill and appeals to immigration hawks.
* Critics argue it's **militarized overreach**, with limited effect on fentanyl (which mostly comes through legal ports).

🚨 WHAT’S MISSING

1. **Cuts to Medicaid & SNAP**

* Over **$1 trillion** in combined cuts.
* Work requirements, reduced eligibility, and state funding burdens.

2. **Defunding of Clean Energy and Climate Programs**

* Bill rolls back **Biden-era climate legislation**.
* Long-term cost: delays clean energy transition, likely increases emissions.

3. **Impact on Poor & Disabled Americans**

* Work requirements could push **millions off aid**, including seniors, disabled, and caregivers.
* **Rural hospitals**, especially in red states, face funding losses.

4. **Long-term Cost to Deficit**

* While marketed as “fiscally sane,” independent economists say the bill will **add over $3 trillion** to the national debt.

🧾 FINAL VERDICT

**Category** | **Verdict** -------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
**Tax Cuts for Workers** | Mostly true, but benefits **skew to upper-middle class and wealthy** |
**Support for Families** | Partly true, but **excludes lowest-income households** |
**Rural and Farm Support** | Partly true, **estate tax changes help rich farmers more than small ones** |
**Border & Military** | Accurate—**major investments and personnel increases** |
**Fiscal Responsibility** | **False** — deficit likely to rise significantly |
**Energy & Environment** | **True but partisan framing** — major rollback of clean-energy investments |

-------------------------------------------------------------
It's all skewed to the middle class and the wealthy.
Did they have problems paying for groceries?



By Ananas2xLekker at 09,Jul,25 11:06
Complete nonsense. The large majority of Americans want better healthcare and social security and HIGHER taxes on the wealthy and NO increase of the debt and the deficit,
not the opposite, in the "big beautiful bill".
