I’m familiar with the history of Hawaii and how we subjugated the island. I’m familiar with how we forced the queen into resignation to further business interests.

But let’s not bullshit each other here. If someone says “I hate Hawaii” they aren’t making a statement of colonialism. They just don’t like Hawaii.

Right or wrong, Hawaii isn’t a homogeneous population in so much much that saying “I hate Hawaii” can be assumed to be a commentary on a specific peoples.

I’ve never gotten a single ticket in 20 years of driving. Maybe try telling that to a mirror instead.

“can we make this fast five a bit faster please”

It’s actually pretty normal to talk shit about various states and cities. Sometimes for no reason at all.

If he had made that same joke about Hawaii I’d probably laugh. It’s context of racism that makes it awful.

Is that you Stephen? I don’t think it’s going to impact your sales. You could take a shit on the side walk and it would make it to the top 20, and get it’s own movie.

You are such a foolish child.

You once saw a person run a stop sign in a bike, right? They put their own life in danger .

A car runs a stop and they put other people’s lives in danger.

It’s not equal at all. The car is worse, it’s a lot worse.

I’m new to this platform and can’t tell if I already replied to this or not.

I totally understand and agree with your point. In case I already replied to this I’ll just give my short answer.

If I could snap my finger and magically make a perfect capitalist system (or socialist for that matter) no corruption or greed. Starting absolutely fresh and right with the perfect principles in place for the system… And also all of us people started fresh, well rested, well fed, thinking clearly…

I think people would still buy the cheapest chocolate and ignore the slaves, they’d still shop at Walmart, and I’d still book the cheap airline ticket and complain I have no leg room, and a handful of super rich elites would quickly regain literally all the power.

You absolutely nailed it on the head with everything thing you said, that’s exactly why I don’t call out system true capitalism. I also agree the lives we are forced to live prevent us from having time to sort this stuff out.

I just don’t think we’d be less lazy (myself included) even if we did have the time and energy. I feel the same problem in both systems.

1)good idea

2. revaluation

3. get lazy

4. back to essentially where we started.

Infrastructure doesn’t necessarily mean roads. Although I haven’t heard of anyone using this money to make public transportation better I have heard stories of cities using this money to improve pedestrian and bike infrastructure.

That’s not reasonable to assume. Let me prove it?

Are you Food Safety Certified from a credited organization? No?

Then obviously your cooking must be poisonous.

I however am food safety certified. I cannot cook at all. Suck at cooking. I do know proper temps, and how to store food. I still cannot cook.

Having a license only PROVES you know the rules. Having one doesn’t mean your GOOD at thing or even that you will FOLLOW the rules. It just proves you KNOW the rules.

Likewise not having a license doesn’t mean you DONT know the rules or WONT follow the rules. It only means you haven’t proven to a licensing body that you do.

I don’t have a medical license, but I know you shouldn’t take opioids every day of your life or you’ll get addicted to them. Clearly many doctors did not know that or did not care.

Edit: hell one more fun one.

When I was in school we had a state issued standardized test called the TAAS test. I got a perfect score every single year. Got every single question in the entire test, every category, correct. 100 percent.

However I was failing most of my classes. Did I know the material or did I not? One certificate said I exceptional and perfect, the other certificate says I was far below my peers.

Which one was right?

I don’t own a bike. I walk and drive.

I know! I told the Team lead id be in at 2. That’s when I was scheduled and that’s when I’m coming in. It’s not my fault Becky got septic gonorrhea again. I’m going to sell my drones, and then I’ll be there at my SCHEDULED time. Don’t give me any of that “team player” bullshit either. All that “team playin” you managers have been doing is why everyone keeps getting septic gonorrhoea. So maybe focus more on your z-pack and get off of my back. How bout that.

If you need a drone tho I got you 10 a piece. Price break at 20. Brand new. Predator anti-personal. Can’t resell them to Ukraine tho. I’m not pro Russia I just got beef with Zelensky. Owe him some money, don’t want him to know I’m out here hustlin. Hit me up.

Edit: if you do want a drone maybe rub some of those z-pack anti bios on the bills tho. Don’t need any of the Becky shit. I just got back with my baby momma you know and all she asked is "no more girls, no more drones, no more polyhedron with a surface areas greater than 30^2 centimeters on the larger faces " so we got keep this real down low, you feel me. You know how hard it was to get my kid back bro, so I got to keep this super light, no joke.

Funny side note I think the problem with both systems is lazy people not doing what they should.

I won’t go over the example for how lazy people could effect socialism because I’m sure you’ve heard it a million times before.

I skip straight to capitalism.

People don’t vote with their dollar like they should. Everyone hates Walmart, they still shop at Walmart. Everyone hates child slavery, they still buy chocolate. Women want real pockets in their clothing, they still buy clothing that does not have pockets.

I’m lazy too in that way. I don’t shop at Walmart, and I don’t really like chocolate… But I hate how shitty airlines are… When I fly tho, I buy the cheapest ticket on the cheapest airline. Every single time.

That’s the problem with capitalism. I’m lazy, we’re all lazy.

Yes someone explain my poor phrasing. They even mentioned the word I mentioned but I forget.

I’m not the capitalist version of a tanky.

I believe the concept of capitalism could work, and I believe it would work better than socialism. Another common ground I have with socialist is that I understand the examples of my preferred… Arrangement of society have been corrupted and not run under the ideas they claim.

That’s what I mean by common ground and that’s where I sympathize. I wouldn’t want someone pointing at trump and saying “that’s capitalism!” And I would never point at Kim jun un and say “that’s socialism”

I also understand the “ideal, pure, perfect implementation” of either idea probably isn’t possible.

I lean more to capitalism.

That’s what I meant when I said “I’m a capitalist” I misspoke.

I do mean that sincerely. I gather you disagree with me and that’s absolutely fine. There’s definitely a lot of solid arguments out there against it. I understand.

You at least respected I don’t have the time or energy right now to get into a long complicated discussion. I just wanted to say what I told soldiers instead of “thanks for your service”

I shouldn’t have lumped you in with the others, and for that i do sincerely apologize.

Edit: and I’m not as much of an asshat as I sound in my comments to others. I’m just tired and too busy to go into all the complexity involved in avoiding a world war. Obviously that would take hours to even get to “I respectfully disagree”.

Fair enough. Other people asked but you absolutely did not. You are correct. I’ll take that L

No one single thing could have fixed the complex situation. If you want the complex answer, Google it. Better people than me have explained it. I don’t have the time or energy.

Yet you asked the question anyway just so you could say “there it is” and pat yourself on the back like you uncovered something.

It’s like if I said “I don’t believe I’m the death penalty”

And you responded “what about for really bad people”

“Yes even for really bad people”

“There it is!”

It’s nonsense.

It’s one of many easy things we could’ve done but didn’t do. If you want a complete answer you can Google it. I said I don’t have the time to list it all here but the information is easily available.

Then pay my consulting fee. Google is free. I am not.

There what is?

“War is unnecessary. Don’t message me about war you like. Just look it up yourself”

“What about this war”

“Unnecessary”
