When you get shot by heroin addicts driving home from work (Provo), just remain calm, and as the corners begin to fade to black, remember, thats a mostly peaceful bullet wound of peace. Shouldn't have used to road for driving, I guess. Roads are for sleeping, silly.
You're right about mostly peaceful. When it comes to mostly violent, its a serious mess. Anyone advocating for civil war doesn't have a robust enough imagination to understand the scale of suffering and the extremely slim chances of a notable improvement as a result of that suffering.

Far better to quit your job and be a homeless activist and spend all your waking hours fixing whatever problem you think needs fixing in our current system. If its just revenge against the "elites" then maybe re-evaluate if its worth the cost, because it's not.

I was feeling a little down the other day, what with all the injustice and all, and then I went to costco and filled my fridge with fresh fruit and vegetables to the brim from all over the planet, and remembered that I'm an idiot and that everything is amazing.

We live in a time when an average person has basically infinite access to whatever amazing sustenance they can imagine and yet we still choose to leave homeless people to rot because we convinced ourselves that they deserve it just like the rich and famous deserve or earned it and we still choose to let a cancer diagnosis completely bankrupt basically anyone that is so unfortunate because I guess they deserved it too.

We can go to a flat tax, and then all the people that currently work in the IRS and for H&R block can remain employed but instead of trying to catch people in accidental tax fraud they can make hospitals run well and design systems and programs to support people that don't have the nuts and bolts to hack it unassisted in the world we have created.

Again its important to remember that all of the aspects of our society are things that we made. Just because they exist doesn't mean they are a natural right or some inheritance of ours. Its just how it is, and when a person can't hack it, its not like they can't hack it in nature, they just can't fit into the box that 65% of us can fit into.

Bristlebane bless.

Correct. If you reject mask wearing and vaccines because it doesn't fit in with your political ideology, you are anti-science and want to kill grandma.

Grats to you for personal growth.

In San Francisco over 85% have one shot, 70% are fully vaccinated. The CDC and local health orgs said you can stop wearing masks outside, yet most people still have them on while outside.

Odd, considering these same people cited science over politics when it was recommended to wear masks at the beginning.

You'll see the rate of mask wearing drop off markedly over the next months.

Not everyone had a mask the first week either.

This has nothing to do with politics unless you're a Trumptard.

They're going to spend the next three years politicizing everything to punish us for not re-electing daddy.
