There will be always winners and losers, regardless of policy. We can only pick ones that we feel deserving being winners and losers. And by "we" I mean those with money and political power. End result is very predictable, and in fact one failure scenario is ongoing in USA right now as we speak...

Sounds like "Focus on non-transformative solutions" part of climate delayism.

One outlier means nothing. There will be always people with crappier immunity system. I will start to worry if more cases like this surfaces.

Only thing that this image needs is MAGA hat.

Translation: But but but people die for other reasons so COVID-19 is faaake. :rolleyes:

Not neccessarily "more deadly". I doubt Kazakhstan has healthcare standards of first world.

America Is Refusing to Learn How to Fight the Coronavirus Thanks, Trump.

It is sad that scientific and medical advice became political issue. As far I am concerned, people that consider it political issue are nutjobs.

I think you know very well he was comparing Trump to dictator (well, wanna-be one for now) and ignore his point on purpose.

You are wasting time. He is conspiracy nutjob that peddles vitamin C as miracle cure for COVID-19.

I like how denialists always behave like numbers of COVID-19 cases and deaths are about to fall to zero tomorrow. Oh, and keep these all cherrypicked statistics and apple-to-hand grenade comparisons coming!

"Just" overwhelmed our hospitals? "Just"? This is exactly what makes it big deal. Do you even realize what "overwhelmed our hospitals" involves? It involves tons of people dying of things completely unrelated to COVID-19 - because medical services are either very late or outright unavailable...

Claiming that restrictions like lockdown or social distancing not only doesn't help, but make things worse is finest example of COVID-19 denialism* in action. It is pretty much at level of denying germ theory of disease. * Umbrella term for claims that COVID-19 either does not exist or it is...

I asked you "0.024% of what". Of course you didn't answered that. Oh, and your tribe screwed up handling of COVID-19 and for that alone deserve loss in November. Get over it. Projecting much?

Wait, I thought it is as harmless as common flu? :rolleyes: Did I read it right? You blame lockdown for deaths? You are even nuttier than I thought. Do you also think germ theory of disease is false? 0.024% of what? Entire US population or people that actually got sick? Either way feel free to...

Your tribe screwed up handling COVID-19 and deserves losing in Nov for that alone. Get over it. Nice strawman. It is because El Orango and Fox News had falling out.

"not in the public?" Someone would wonder how those care facilities got COVID-19 in first place if they are so safe. :rolleyes: That you never heard about it does not means "never been tried before". Ever heard about Spanish Flu? In general I see COVID-19 pulled out of woodworks various...

Oh, I do agree he is not totalitarian. He is "merely" wannabe el presidento. All perks, no responsibility (he even said it himself!). Some fuhrer he is. That is pretty much only factual thing in your response. Indeed, other people had to pick up slack from el incompetento. You seem to be...

At that stage I know you are simply making up stuff. Ah well, I guess denialists gonna denial. Nooo! He "just" said to consider seriously idea of injecting bleach! I am not sure how it makes things better but I am sticking with it! Btw, article on how murica makes fool out of itself in eyes...

Numbers are obviously obsolete, but it is to-go response for denialists downplaying problem of COVID-19 with argument "people die from other things so why it is big deal".

Assumption is that, like with politicians wanting to prematurely open economy and being fine with rising risk of death of your grandparents and people in general due to overwhelmed healthcare, these guys are same. It is easy to sacrifice something that you don't care about. Profits are more...

That didn't aged well.

I see you have same problem as Musk has with autonomous driving. You both think it is simpler and easier than it is in reality. And besides, what "vehicles"? Do you think stuff will magically teleport out or into vehicle?

False. Most of your examples will be changed in any decent EV. Good EV will have body frame redesigned from ground up to accomodate batteries, motor etc. Same with tires - EVs will still need solutions that minimize air/ground resistance for long time and type of tire are important part of that...

Your assumption that batteries are "low tech" is wrong.

That's pretty good assumption. People are not rational, period. One example: if they were, advertisments wouldn't ever work and no one would advertise. Problems with command and control economies lie elsewhere - in inherent inefficiency and unscalability. Expect riots on streets then. It...

Not necessarily. As others noted, blocklist locks them in in their bubble and severely restricts any information even remotely connected to reality that would be helpful for reassessing their position.

It is almost like there was some major war there in past (that USA was mostly spared from) or something.

And pope. It is almost like "Times' person of year" is not "person that we like", but "person that are considered important by Times". And people can be important for very different reasons. Though I know some loons explained away Greta as child brainwashed by her parents and other drivel like...

It is simple. This section is designed for being changed or cut in negotiations. It is like setting price, you always set price somewhat higher than price that you actually want so you can lower it during haggle.

Suicidal laziness.

In theory, that sounds good. In practice, people (managers, CEOs, other parasites) actually responsible for those bad decisions will almost never suffer consequences. Golden parachute is a thing. When company goes down, normal employees - that have no say in decisions of company - are ones...

Fixed that for you.

:rolleyes: Nice religion you have there. They can do a lot, in fact. You can control and manipulate markets to some degree (more or less depending on nature of market), your fervent denial notwithstanding. Of course, it is not always enough, but it worked nicely to prevent such wonders of free...

I was not aware any country actually implemented free market economic system without any gov intervention so far. I will admit some corrupted hellholes are pretty close, though. Some do, some doesn't. You seem to have blind faith in "free market" and that government cannot do anything...

If ohmman's posts are any indication, Neroden was temporaily banned. We would noticed if Neroden was tempbanned before, right? I am assuming no one would go straight from warnings to permaban - that indeed would be too heavy-handed.

Cost of Iraq war. And that's only one oil-related conflict done by USA in recent history. Feel free to continue pretending amount of money spent on oil-related wars is may orders of magnitude lesser than it actually is. And, of course, people consider that whole "taxpayer pays for health...

I see someone is blaming EU for stupidity of leavers again. What I can say? Shifting the blame is pretty good propaganda tactic.

For me not informing why neroden was banned is very counterproductive. Unclear rules makes bad place for discussion, since you don't know if you will be next. No, vague handwaving "he violated TOS" is not enough.

I like how you make up things.

Projecting much? You are one protesting and denying established science findings. That you do not like these findings due to your nutty ideology is your problem. I will enlighten you: word "facts" does not mean "anti-climate science propaganda youtube videos made by amateurs". No one treats...

Extremely unlikely, though silentum universi and it's implications are disturbing. There is no point or goal; universe exists because it exists. Nothing less, nothing more.

Oh great, conspiracy theories are already flying around.

I find this comparison pretty fitting, since many scenarios (increasing emissions evermore/business as usual/doing nothing/dragging feet) of climate change have quite high body count - running gamut from heatstrokes to wars. And that's not counting people displaced or negatively affected in...

Non-sequitur. Non-sequitur. Only point of it seems to be you handwaving "these things happened fast (relative to what?) so that one thing will happen fast too". I can't also help notice that you are ignoring completely that after these jumps we as humans tend to rest on laurels, taking our...

Yes, it will be small fraction of society. But it wont happen by tomorrow. I already agreed about menial tasks. Certain kind of changes do not require revolution. As I said, I see some forms of capitalism surviving for pretty long time before being actually replaced with some kind of...

It is pretty obvious your opposition against wind turbines on grounds that they kill birds is just excuse considering there are sources of deaths of birds that dwarfs wind turbines and as we can see they are not any problem for you whatsoever.

I will take aside your nice weasel wording like "redefine our economy". Progress of things like that is always overestimated and naively extrapolated in silly and sensationalistic ways. There were already multiple events like that that were predicted to make humans jobless, like invention of...

Maybe you should look up why feudalism went away, when and how. It didn't happened overnight just because. Capitalism (in some form) is here to stay for long, loong time. Get over it.

Remember that for alt-right and other republiloonery "activist" has very particular and very negative meaning. Though in practice it sums up to "person that says things that I do not like".
