I assumed when I read that he acted out oral sex that he acted out performing it on a woman but hmmm no ...

I don't mean to argue against your point but they became billionaires somehow. There are people who are becoming billionaires today and their wealth accumulation could be limited. It seems like more than one solution is needed. I don't think billionaires are good for society... They have too much power, political power

Or they keep pressure on the wound without checking if there's an exit wound that is also leaking blood

Food in plastic containers seems really bad for you, and microwaving food in plastic seems worse.

Also that wasn't the first attempt, there have been at least two previous people who tried to kill him

  1. 2016 Las Vegas Attempt- On June 18, 2016, a man attempted to steal a police officer's firearm and use it on Trump, during a rally in Las Vegas, Nevada. 20-year-old Michael Steven Sandford, who was visiting the U.S. from the U.K., was immediately subdued by the officer, and was taken into custody by the Secret Service. Sandford later told officials that his plan had been to kill Trump, who was speaking at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino.

  2. 2017 Forklift Incident- On September 6, 2017, Gregory Lee Leingang stole a forklift from a North Dakota oil refinery, with the intent of driving it into Trump's presidential vehicle while he was en route to a rally. Leingang was stopped before reaching the motorcade after the vehicle got stuck in the refinery. Officials originally thought that Leingang had stolen the forklift for a much less serious reason, and only reevaluated the seriousness after he confessed to trying to kill the then-president by flipping the vehicle.

This makes me think about the false belief that it's possible to make progress. Any victories will probably be small- look at the supreme court.

Politicians spend 30% of their time fundraising. No need for illegal bribes when lobbyists exist.

Capitalism isn't going to be controlled by workers, maybe we can figure out what comes after capitalism and try to accelerate the transition if we think it will be better.

But yeah one candidate wants to squeeze our society and drink its blood and the other wants it to function adequately.

You don't know anything about me, and I never defended "the prison industrial complex" Don't talk shit to me- you must be upset because all that shit you wrote sounds really stupid

"leading aerodynamicist Doug McLean has attempted to go beyond sheer mathematical formalism and come to grips with the physical cause-and-effect relations that account for lift in all of its real-life manifestations. ... McLean’s complex explanation of lift starts with the basic assumption of all ordinary aerodynamics: the air around a wing acts as “a continuous material that deforms to follow the contours of the airfoil.” That deformation exists in the form of a deep swath of fluid flow both above and below the wing. “The airfoil affects the pressure over a wide area in what is called a pressure field,” McLean writes. “When lift is produced, a diffuse cloud of low pressure always forms above the airfoil, and a diffuse cloud of high pressure usually forms below. Where these clouds touch the airfoil they constitute the pressure difference that exerts lift on the airfoil.”

The wing pushes the air down, resulting in a downward turn of the airflow. The air above the wing is sped up in accordance with Bernoulli’s principle. In addition, there is an area of high pressure below the wing and a region of low pressure above. This means that there are four necessary components in McLean’s explanation of lift: a downward turning of the airflow, an increase in the airflow’s speed, an area of low pressure and an area of high pressure.

But it is the interrelation among these four elements that is the most novel and distinctive aspect of McLean’s account. “They support each other in a reciprocal cause-and-effect relationship, and none would exist without the others,” he writes. “The pressure differences exert the lift force on the airfoil, while the downward turning of the flow and the changes in flow speed sustain the pressure differences.” It is this interrelation that constitutes a fifth element of McLean’s explanation: the reciprocity among the other four. It is as if those four components collectively bring themselves into existence, and sustain themselves, by simultaneous acts of mutual creation and causation."
