I would NEVER condone violence. But hypothetically, as a united States citizen, the most significant thing a person could do is eliminate two Supreme Court Justices.
It's the only part of our government with ZERO balance of power, and it is currently using its power to change settled interpretations of the law.
OK but why is my state mandated minimum insurance nearly $90 a month for a Toyota Prius that I only drive like 30 miles per week?
My liability only plan was $55 in 2018.
I'm over 30 years old with no tickets or accidents on my record.
Maybe the whole data farming thing is being used as an excuse also, but this is bullshit all up and down.
100% Has happened many times. Often those things are later re-discovered. But who knows?
How many reporters around the world have had a car spontaneously explode, or suffered sudden-onset jumpeez near a window?
How many scientists and researchers have had significant breakthroughs or discoveries about hazards of waste or energy efficiency, only for their work to suddenly be labeled falsified and personal reputations dragged through the mud?
I keep thinking how great it would be if the federal government made a central server system to access digital content for free via taxes.
All public domain and publicly funded research and content, all in one place. Could also host owned content for people/entities and pay out royalties automatically based on consumption.
There are ways to make this fairly affordable to everyone via taxes, but maybe the big opportunity is it could also allow companies to train AI on all the data for a fat, but fair subscription. The value of that could easily pay for enough to shrink any tax costs for the public.
I don't think he was trying to make literal statements with things like that. Yes, he used sociopolitical commentary as his medium, but he was still a comedian.
He's not trying to convince his audience that everybody is stupid, he's speaking to a feeling most of us have had when looking at what others are doing. Everyone sometimes feels like like everybody around them must be stupid, just like we all sometimes feel like we're the only one missing something.
He's beloved because most really talented comedians can derive humor from relatable or absurd situations and stories, but Carlin could make a rhythm linking broad abstract concepts of human experience to really specific examples.
He's not a god, he was just a really talented comedian that had a unique style and medium.
Oh boy, yeah, a lot more came out about it. There's actually been a lot over the years, but a few years ago a pretty serious documentary came out about it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaving_Neverland
Already likely to be untrue, but honestly I'd happily sign up for a world wear "hold music" isn't the same 20sec loop of shit jazz
Still trying to catch back up on Adventure Time
Also God watching all genocide
Under capitalism, yes.
Under socialism? Men would all be spending their new free time learning woodworking and making gigantic overengineered furniture out of oak and mahogany.
Damn
