Its pretty clear that the poster of the parent comment isn't sentient, they're just regurgitating information they've been fed, they don't understand the deeper meaning of the things they say. The poster may be an AI, but they are not "alive", this debate is silly.
All we need to do is scale this to planet size, it could be like a tube belt around the earth, and you could probably accelerate less aggressively with that much runway.
A trillion strong caravan of criminals is approaching the border, chanting "death to middle class white men". You must elect a authoritarian that will rob you clean while blaming a bunch of folks with nothing for all the ills of society, its the only solution.
No, you gotta bring in the riff raff from else where because the spoiled homegrown corn fed piggies aren't breeding fast enough to maintain the economic ponzi scheme of eternal economic growth that requires more people tomorrow to pay for the debts of today.

I took 4 at home tests, all said negative, but I was definitely sick, scheduled a PCR test, 6 days after my symptoms started was the soonest I could get an appointment for, and it finally confirmed that I had covid. 2 different brands of at home tests kept telling me I was negative.
So, I don't doubt the anecdotal stories of people getting false negatives with the at home. My coworker also took 4 and only 1 finally showed positive in the end.
The suburbs are economically unsustainable. Nobody wants to pay to redo the roads and pipes, but everybody wants to live with a private backyard. Perhaps we should make it so that you have to make it self sustainable, dirt roads, septic tanks, wells, and producing your own electricity.
I spent a fair amount of time at CHOP. I think folks are blowing things out of proportion freaking out about it. If that's what anarachy is like, it's honestly not that bad.
I think, as a society, we ought to make it a rule that a dead persons social media account shouldn't be used after they're dead. it's morbid, and weird.
Your mom liked the game I played with her too.
Got em.
