What a nothing burger of an article. Worthless and probably written by AI.

I you bother to open the article and only just look under the header you will see also:

"The ag manufacturing giant will also make digital diagnostic, maintenance, and repair tools available to third parties for 10 years."

Which is a big deal for right to repair if you've followed this issue at all.

Seems like everyone forgets their civics class but voting for a president is not the place to make your voices heard for issues.

You'll typically have the top three choices: A democrat A republican A throwaway third choice

For most it will be voting for the lesser evil. Because the alternatives can mean rapid stagflation, war in the middle east, supporting paedophiles, and a myriad of other problems, while the other is essentially maintaining the status quo.

For proper change you have to organize locally, vote for local elections and keep pushing your representatives to represent you throughout the year. By the time primaries come around, typically candidates are already known figures and the party points are gathered from data throughout the year.

Honestly, after a certain point I feel like all the posts about people saying they would rather not vote at all despite the two distinct choices are some sort of psyops campaign to bring chaos to the world.

I can't wrap my head around people seriously being more okay with this criminal in office than an imperfect candidate.

To properly answer this question one must look inwardly. To do that one should follow these steps:

  1. Stop using social media
  2. Explore your interests
  3. Support yourself financially
  4. Find a way to incorporate healthy food into your diet
  5. Exercise regularly
  6. Go out and meet people
  7. Make friends with people who will support you

Then ask yourself: 'Is looksmaxxing still relevant?'

Yep, says so in the article too. I think the difference is the scale of it.

I suppose if were talking about people just being selfish assholes then yeah I feel what you're saying. My only gripe is comparing economic outcomes of very different countries with different historical context.

I'm not convinced by your comparison to Russia and China. I don't think either of them really have anything to do with Reagan or Thatcher. I dislike them but I think their influence outside the western world is minimal.

The privatization of Russia was done before the soviet union even collapsed and was just wealth being consolidated under a different system by those in power. There was never a free market.

China was able to become the powerhouse because in the 90s Deng Xiaoping eased communist policies to allow private businesses and they entered the WTO. Even so, there has never been a free market in China either.

Otherwise, I don't disagree.
