the reason we scavenge steel from old shipwrecks is because all modern peoduced steel is contaminated with a miniscule - but still present - amount of radioactive isotopes, incompatible with some incredibly precise scientific instruments and other nieche, but essential applications, that not only require old steel, but old steel that wasn't exposed to all the radioactive fallout during the nuclear tests in the cold war, hence why the sunken ships.
adding a personal note here, if some nuclear tests around the world contaminated everything THIS MUCH, what will we say about microplastics in a couple decades? just food for thought
since you all seem to get your one-liner responses from the same text file, i'm gonna follow your example and repost another comment from this post
Democrats haven't had 60 senators since 1979. They had 58 in 2010 for exactly 72 days and tried to pass public option healthcare but only 1 independent voted with them so they settled for the lesser medicaid expansion that the current Republicans are gutting in the budget. For the record, that medicaid expansion passed with supermajority as every singe Republican voted nay.
the sooner we can get on track to fixing the problems that enable fascism to rise.
Under Trump? under already existing fascism? do you have a working mind? "fixing the problems that enable fascism to rise" is what you do when fascism isn't already here, and since a bunch of you failed to consider that now we have Trump and his bootlicker gang in power
The wee basic step we should strive for is to make the treatment available to all those suffering from cancer.
right. so the slow death. the one you were previously criticizing.
In politics, the first wee basic step we should strive for is not a complete revolution without the support of the masses, but to put in power someone who, if not better, doesn't ruin more the already tragic and delicate system we have, to give us time to organize better.
Hospitals do not need the state. In fact hospitals are probably one of institutions to collectivise, due to the level of competence needed to actively work in one. It's similar with electricity, industry and infrastructure maintenance.
soo... privatizing them, paying for life essential treatments? or is your definition of "collectivise" just your retired surgeon homie frank in his " sterile" living room? how are you gonna make new med students without state funded schools? by paying/bartering for it? that's just capitalism, and it's not going well so far
again, a bit repetitive in my arguments but "just build a community bro" isn't the right answer for most things
we all are working for it but clearly aren't there yet, to draw a parallel, we don't have a cure for cancer YET but you can bet your ass i'm gonna do chemo if i end up with it
all fun and games until you need to go to the hospital. Or get electricity. Or get bullets for self defence because there isn't a state. Or roads to travel.
sorry for the necropost, but i was browsing this community out of interest and this post stuck out as nonsensical (to me, at least, i'm ready to get corrected)
for all you people that can't do math, all the votes not for trump added together would have been 50,2%
