There are evangelical thought leaders that preach the opposite. They say liberals are wrong about all of that.
And people believe up is down.

- Comment on Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer? 2 days ago:
The USA was securing international trade lines. After WW2, they started doing it to counter communism and build friendships. (Cannot attack your trading partners.)
This was not entirely popular with Americans, see “Team America: World Police”.
Another country or coalition could step up. Just build a navy that rivals the USA one to secure shipping lanes.

- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 1 week ago:
The water in some USA cities does taste terrible. Some rural and city water is unsafe to drink. Grow up in one of those places, and one may hate it.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Strongly filter and limit the news you consumes. Do not spend hours watching or keeping up on it.
Do prepare yourself and your chosen community. Build relationships. Fix your life, body, finances. Get as ready as you can to catch yourself and those falling.
Do get into a group that tells you when local events are happening.
Do find joy.

The reply did not address the substantive complaints by staff.
We’ve changed nothing, but your leaving has mildly put us out.
- Comment on Not sure exactly what they are selling 1 week ago:
What is up with the storefront? A statue holding a sign and a man behind bars.
- Comment on where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues? 2 weeks ago:
Yes! Sadly, at least as near as I can figure, this is on purpose.
People with disposable income can organize businesses, demonstrations, and communities. They may threaten the status quo.
People that must work daily to not starve cannot organize anything. They may not even know their neighbours. They are exposed and vulnerable.
Remember how in the early 2000’s, it seemed we were on the cusp of a great turning point? More people, not nearly all people, had access to good paying jobs and disposable income? It seemed progress may finally start. Then 2008 wiped many people out. The new wealth was concentrated. (I am leaving a lot out.)
Anyway, there are not as many people that can organize as one may assume. There will not be until fewer people are financially vulnerable.

Don’t think Leia poops her pants. She was calm and cool.
- Comment on where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues? 2 weeks ago:
Feel free to organize one.
Then you will have insight into why there are few. Or you will kick off a whole thing.
Organizing things is hard. I am sure there are lots of reasons.
- Comment on South Korea to limit number of times daycare centres need to respond to needless parent complaints 3 weeks ago:
Can South Korean Daycares not chose who they do business with?
- Comment on Would having two hearts be better or worse for the human body? 3 weeks ago:
As others have pointed out the issues, I will answer a different question.
It would be cool to have a backup heart. It sits unused and quite until needed. Clearly some issues with experiencing the same conditions as the first heart. If it were biological, then it would weaken without use.
But a small pump to survive a heart attack would be nice.
- Comment on So close! 3 weeks ago:
radiant heat So some kind of nonconductive heat? How would that even work? I will stick with putting the pot in the fire.
