The real reason we're still not testing.
« on: Thu, 14 May 2020, 11:42:38 »
What happened is,  the Lobbyists (Pharmaceutical) said to the politicians, HEY, don't import, buy from us, we'll cut you in on the profits, contribute to your campaign, hookers, cocaine, the standard.

Politicians go, OK, kewl.

Korona happens, logistic challenges, they can't make the kits properly, can't deliver them, can't get them properly tested/ evaluated,   Trump team <the politicians who were privy to the cut is now on deflection>

But who really dropped the ball, well, everyone really, but it's the corruption that introduced the most lag time, and it is this same corruption that got 80,000 people killed, 120,000 thousand more to come.

USA possibly second only to Jpn has the strongest chemicon in the world, everything needed to make testing kits exist, all the talent, the capital, the technology, the infrastructure. We're hung up on Corruption.

They'd have you believe testing kits are this complicated thing, they're not, Thailand banged them out in mere days, THAILAND,  Think about it.

Some of y'all non-geography people might think, buh TP, Thailand make these high tech samsung fones,  y'all thinking of South Korea. 

Thailand/ Myanmar/ Laos/ Cambodia  is like the South America of Eastern Asia.

perhaps
"The old Republican Party was a stool with three legs: social conservatism, economic conservatism and national security conservatism.
So too is the MAGA Republican Party. One of those legs is the nativist extremism of Stephen Miller. The second is the anti-government extremism of Russell Vought.
And the last is the open, flamboyant corruption of Donald Trump — a corruption that degrades a people’s faith in government and makes it all the easier to remake the state in the image of a single man.

Lobbying needs to be outlawed, and the two party system needs to burn, ideally with a ban on all political parties of any kind as well. Madison never intended for this partisanship and tribalism (herd mentality) when framing our constitution. Only then will we ever be on course for a rational/(relatively) inccorupt/efficient government, and this applies to all 3 branches. Even the judicial branch is operating far outside of its allowed parameters, and has for at least a century.

Ridiculous, nonsensical political and social constructs, ideals, and policies that have unnecessarily plagued us for decades, even centuries, to the economic, psychological, philosophical, and even physical detriment of the people would begin to fade within a generation.

Requiring at least one general philosophy course in high school would be a good step in the same regard, even socially.
