atomicgeek posted:Malaria was a huge problem in the southeastern US until WW2, when a tremendous amount of resources and DDT were thrown at it. So yeah, we're gonna get wrecked, not just by climate change but also by breakdowns in public spending on mosquito control, which has been ongoing ever since. The CDC has some info about the drive to finally eliminate malaria here. The narrative is already super obvious, too. "lol Whiny snowflake libs want to try to get rid of MOSQUITOS now? What, can't handle a few bug bites?? There are millions of them, that's like trying to get rid of flies! It's just throwing money away!!"

Power Khan posted:- A decades long war on critical thinking skills, education and expertise. I feel like the propaganda is the big one there. Just shift every narrative exactly how it best suits you, and radicalized from there forward, and this is what we wind up with.

Thundercracker posted:My biggest wtf is that Trump got a cult. Trump?! Hitler makes sense. Stalin makes sense. Putin makes sense. They're all dangerous ruthless strongmen. But Donnny loving Good rains? He's spent his entire life billing himself as the ideal rich businessman. Idiots who want to be the ideal rich businessman look up to him as perfection.

BiggerBoat posted:Trump runs the country exact;y as he's run every business he's been in. They love him because they all want to be him, and imagine themselves as him. The only reason they would hate a lovely boss is because the boss is being lovely to them personally. If Trump personally did something directly to them they'd probably hate him too, but otherwise they think they will one day be just like him. No, him loving them overly indirectly doesn't count because then there's plausible deniability that someone else caused it, or they just don't realize it was his fault.

Being a nurse has very little to do with quality medical knowledge, I've found

Telsa Cola posted:People can have absolutely no real professional knowledge of their job beyond say, a semster or two long course, and be fine because they will somehow always skate by and/or people will cover for them. Yeah this can definitely happen with any profession. I think it is worth noting that a lot of nursing courses are kind advertised like "hey, tired of working lovely part time jobs? Don't know what to do with your life? Trying nursing school!" Googling "how to become a nurse" has the first result advertising a 16-month course and how easy it is. A lot of these courses aren't necessarily targeting people that have a passion to help others, but instead people who are aimless. I think a not-insignificant number of nursing students join the programs because hey, it's a better career path than Starbucks, and it's noble to help people I guess. Yeah you need to learn a lot of medical stuff to pass nursing school, but if you don't really care that much about the material beyond getting a passing grade then I doubt much of it will stick. I'll also admit I'm making a lot of assumptions here and may very well be completely wrong.

Trump never even opened the letter he got from Obama, so Biden found that one and thought it was from ol' Donny.
