"healthcare plz" is a good rallying cry because it really cuts through all the bullshit theater that the Democrat Party likes to toss around. It is a retort, nothing else. When people say, "oh the Democrats are trying so hard to X" the clear statement that they aren't even addressing X in the first place blows right through whatever garbage they are tossing out. And, no, it won't work on people who don't actually give a poo poo about X. Nothing will. But some kid who keeps getting targeted to VOTE ain't gonna buy that load of horseshit forever, and at one point he's gonna wonder "why, why does X never seem to be the goal?" and that's when you can talk to them about it in depth. Climate change will never be stopped as long as the oil companies control both parties. Healthcare will never be affordable because the healthcare companies write all the laws. Your vote will never matter because you're broke as poo poo and will never be able to afford a lobbyist. But until then, you gotta keep their eye on the material prize and "healthcare plz" will keep them primed for whoever has a real offer.

I am receiving word that all of the bad economic things related to the pandemic, like inflation and price increases, are not a fault of Joe Biden. They are just a natural occurrence during this kind of disaster. You are a nazi that can not understand basic economics if you are blaming Joe Biden for the increases in gasoline, inflation or commodities. However, all of the jobs created when the lockdowns end Joe Biden can take 100% credit for. He is completely responsible for those numbers because they sound good. Also the prices dropping when the pandemic started are not because of Trump since they were a good thing. All of the job loses were 100% because of Trump because they were a bad thing. I hope you maga chuds can try to understand basic economics from now on.

Pandemic started and Trump personally caused the worst job losses in history. Pandemic is over, America is Back Together, and Joe Biden is responsible for the best job creation in history. Pandemic started and I assume some prices, somewhere, on things like Gasoline dropped but also not because of Trump. Pandemic is over and now Joe Biden is just overseeing a healthy economic recovery from the dropped prices as prices naturally rise on everything. Basic Economics People.

Two points: 1) Let's imagine for a moment this were not known shithead rapist Bill Cosby: do you think they could receive a fair trial given the circumstances? I doubt that's possible, given the situation, and it's always going to be an open question for a future appeal. 2) Is it wrong that the "punishment" for the violation of a defendant's rights is that the conviction is thrown out? This is sort of getting out of the subject matter of the thread and into criminal justice reform, but let's imagine for a second that we're not talking about the rapist Bill Cosby, and instead talking about some random guy convicted of... murder. Let's say he did it, and we know he did it. If his rights were violated in the process of the investigation and trial leading to his conviction, should he still be imprisoned? You could absolutely argue that, yes, as someone who factually speaking murdered another person, he must face the consequences. What, then, is the purpose of those rights? That's how I can be both perfectly loving angry at the specific outcome that Bill Cosby is free, and not angry with the decision of the court that the prosecution acted improperly. The system has failed. A rapist is free. That's not good, and we should be angry about that. But that doesn't mean this decision was incorrect. In my opinion, it means the prosecution hosed up unforgivably, in a way that allowed a rapist to go free.

I think there's some unpacking that needs to be done. First I already post in the space thread so I think it is unnecessarily patronizing and assuming the conclusion to suggest I should go to some other thread to be "told" that it's a fantasy project; that's just unnecessarily antagonistic way of approaching it. I am aware of the various and potential problems and pitfalls, I was there, in those threads, in some of those discussions. I am not convinced it is impossible, but if you want to move the discussion there you can do so and we can continue it there. Second, that there is a through line here in how the discussion started and developed; I had mentioned/asked off hand, would ice asteroid mining help solve China's water problems, if the problems of transporting those materials to China can be solved. In response to someone else's post I mentioned off hand a space elevator might be one answer, or a skyhook, and so on. As I had already mentioned a skyhook isn't science fiction. There's a weird sort of tunnel vision where a number of people decided to hyperfocus on that one minor off hand thing instead of the broader point of discussion. I responded to posts that were incorrect or levied fallacious arguments like comparing constructing a space elevator to construction a 70,000 mile long bridge because they're egregious; and while discussing a space elevator may not be super thread relevant I at least made the attempt to keep it relevant to discussing China each time I could. Third, I'm not going to address the specific details of your post because I don't particularly wish to keep the discussion about space elevators in the China thread but the point of those links is to show that there is a real world interest and that there is arguably a legitimate basis to discuss certain kinds of "scifi" projects as it pertains to China in the same vein as China's nuclear fusion experiments. If Elon Musk tomorrow said he wanted to partner with China's space agency to build a space elevator I think that would be newsworthy and worth posting about in the thread just as much as Elon Musk saying anything else would have been by default, considered to be newsworthy for USPol. It was specifically in response to the argument "no one is interested in it, so there's no point in discussing it". By the USPol standard newsworthyness tends to be always acceptable to post about stuff and then only split off to its own thread if it overwhelms all other discussion and in this case well; I'm not sure what other discussion was there. Everyone either agrees genocide is wrong and China is doing it or they don't and having to read repeated posts denying ongoing genocide gets difficult you know.
