I’m curious if the “climate change is a hoax” stuff is as prominent in China as the US. I’ve run into so many people who hate EVs solely because they think climate change is a hoax and EVs are just another way to scam them out of money for a lower quality vehicle… despite any evidence of EVs being better quality
The West and the Woke living rent free in dictator, and tyrannical supporter’s dreams.
You list assets and debt. Nothing about revenue. Nothing about the surplus California just had. Nothing about expected income. Nothing about the balance books of other states (guess what, every country and state runs with debt financing).
If California is in trouble because of its economy, then every state is bigger trouble.
You are completely delusional and brainwashed. California is literally carrying the country.
It has the 4th largest economy in the world. That means it’s the best economy of any state by a large margin.
California has the 5th largest economy in the world (compared to other countries), produces a third of the country’s fruits and vegetables, and basically subsidizes all the poor, primarily red states…
California has kept the US at the forefront of the world stage in tech with Silicon Valley, in entertainment with Hollywood, and dare I say cars with Tesla (as much as Elon hates CA these days because COVID and taxes, Tesla would have never survived without California subsidies and green policies).
But go on living in your Fox News world and ignoring reality.
lol you mean the California that is the 4th largest economy compared to countries?
The California that pays most to the federal government, essentially subsidizing poor red states. Talk about taking hand outs, those red states really are lazy and need to pick themselves up by their bootstraps.
Something something drain the swamp. Trump drained the swamp by appointing his kids and his friends kids White House positions and forcing everyone to use his hotels.
Don’t even get me started how Fauci is corrupt!

There is no logic in the Republican Party
Can you even explain what is gender identity? Since you are so against it. What is it and why shouldn’t kids learn about it?
It is a little incredulous that somehow only you have figured out the real reason Musk didn’t activate Starlink.
With so many articles coming out, no officials making a statement, hell even a biographer shadowing Musk at the time. Even Musk gives alternate reasons and doesn’t say it, even if it would save him from a lot of bad press.
So the only one saying Musk didn’t activate Starlink was because of US sanctions is you, and not even Musk himself.
There’s not article, just you deducing from the US sanctions list.
What against US policy? Escalating the war? We already are sending tons of military equipment, some used in counter offensives.
Post the link and full article you got that from, I’d like to read but many of the links are pay walled.
Here’s what I read from one of the links you referenced, I would think Musk would say it’s against US policy if that’s the reason he chose not to activate Starlink
“There was an emergency request from government authorities to activate Starlink all the way to Sevastopol,” Musk wrote on X, the platform previously known as Twitter.
“The obvious intent being to sink most of the Russian fleet at anchor. If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation,” Musk wrote.
An excerpt about the raid from American author and journalist Walter Isaacson’s upcoming biography on Musk, titled “Elon Musk,” was published by CNN. Ukrainian submarine drones loaded with explosives were approaching a Russian naval fleet in the Crimean city of Sevastopol when they lost connection and “washed ashore harmlessly,” according to Isaacson.
Musk was concerned about Russia responding to the naval attack with a nuclear weapon, Isaacson wrote in the book, according to CNN. Ukrainian officials
Musk didn’t allow it. Full stop. It’s not so,e government sanction thing.
Even quotes you reference are from Musk, himself, sharing why he decided so. Musk said he chose not to activate it because he’d be apart of escalating the war…
And there in lies the paradox of tolerance… which ultimately leads to the intolerant taking over.
You brought up accreditation. I just asked if it should be allowed.
Here’s the theoretical: someone makes a religion based on Nazi values and makes a new school that teaches those values and enforces it too (so no Jews, Christians, gays, etc. and students and faculty cannot associate with said people).
Should that be allowed? I’m not asking if it should be accredited or not. Just should it be allowed. ie you are made ruler of the world and you get to decide if that should be accepted practices the the culture, values, and practices of the world you rule.
What is the difference between discriminating against blacks or Jews or women vs discriminating against gay people?
Being gay is not a choice. Someone liking people of the same sex is no more controllable than you liking members of the opposite sex. Do you actively choose to like women and dislike men (or vice versa if you’re a women)? Are you saying someone could tell you something and somehow convince you to find men attractive?
This isn’t censoring an opinion, this is basic human rights.
Take everything Nazis believe. Now just say it’s a religion. Now they start a school to spread their beliefs.
According to you, that’s totally ok… hence the statement.
The paradox of tolerance to a T
Exactly. We figured it that wasn’t right then in the same way this isn’t right now.
If a religion said black people are a sin and should be avoided… and then started a school with rules banning any contact with black folks, would you treat it the same? Religious grounds, private school, just don’t go there?
They should focus on playing soccer. Leaving the woke politics out please!

You can teach kids to be themselves without bringing self-harm into it.
That’s exactly what the book teaches…
lol of course he thinks the companies are “blackmailing him” and not that the companies don’t want to advertise in the cesspool he has turned twitter into.
Even if you didn’t like twitter before, it’s much worse now than Elon has worked his magic. Why would companies want to pay money to have their brands side by side with nazi posts.
