We need to rewrite the entire foundation of this country to ensure that that sentiment is not just done away with, but obliterated in its entirety.
If someone is working hard for the country, why should that make it harder to be elected to help in a different way? Fuck I hate this place. If you made a nation where every moral and ideal were the exact opposite of what would benefit society, you get this shit.
Depends what you mean by crash. Before, we have crashed through small bushes and banana stands. Big showy and doing minor damage. We are about to run into that tiny little tree that the devs never made animations for.
We are not prepared for the devastation that tree will cause.
I feel horrible for the children who died. I have a very hard time giving a fuck about their families. They have, for generations, enabled this exact thing. Almost BEGGED for it against all advice from experts.
They have tried shotguns, nets, other drones, rocks, food cans, their guns when they run out of ammo, swinging their guns like a bat and many other things.
The drones are often used to attack inside established dugouts and such. They fly into the front door. So the defenders often do have shotguns and specifically for that purpose.
I suppose it wasn't clear in my comment but I'm not advocating for doing nothing. Just to have realistic expectations about what is possible. If you sell everyone on reversing everything, and then fail, it will breed discontent further than being honest. That's all.
Pakistan and India, Egypt and Ethiopia. Various states in the southwest are looking to pop off when the civil war starts up. Water wars are starting NOW.
You are using the broadest possible definition of "lost."
Lost as in no more human civilization. It doesn't matter when you start doing stuff, that future is coming. We could maybe slow it at this point, but not much else and even that is up for debate with all the tipping points being reached. They will have a far greater effect on the climate than anything that we do now.
If we got another FDR, I think I would have a heart attack from joy. Someone who will fucking fight for us. Jesus the bar is so low at this point.
