If that were true, then Disney would've come under more flak for kowtowing to an agency that runs a literal concentration camp, a real one, not the detention centers illegal immigrants get held at when border patrol catches them. Nah, they did this because much like the CCP, they only have a n interest in kicking down.

Actually, fuck being afraid of the consequences. Fear of consequences is why Disney sits down on it's knees when the CCP undoes it's belt.

If I legally remove the definition of what a child is I can completely remove child rape and molestation from the world.

Mexico was just vulnerable period. Texans revolting against the Mexican army was a convenient excuse for the US to step in. I don't remember who said it, or what it was, but paraphrased it was essentially that a strong nation had bullied a weaker one. for what it couldn't hold against them.

I’d be pleasantly surprised if mainstream media said anything with common sense recently.

In short, Wall Street Brokers bet they could make money on industries being killed by the ongoing pandemic and government mandates. And with how things have played out, they are at MASSIVE losses in the billions of dollars, since if they want to make good on their promises and deals, they HAVE to buy the stocks at their increased price if anyone is willing to sell them. They've engaged in some shady manipulation (ie Market Manipulation, a big no-no) in an attempt to stop their losses or reduce them.

Gamestop was predicted to go under so Wall Street decide to do something called "shorting" the stock. They borrow it from someone else and sell it and plan on the stock being sold back to them at an even lower price so they make a profit and hand the stock back to whoever they borrowed it from after making their money. Note they HAVE to give back the stock at the appointed time. Which is today, January 29th at time of posting. Thing is, R/Wallstreetbets bought out as much stock in companies like Gamestop, AMC, and Nokia, stocks that hedge funds bet heavily on making massive returns. Now they're held by Redditors who even if they refuse to sell, can make massive bank by selling a stock that cost say $20 for 6, 7, 8 times the price since the brokers HAVE to hand back the stock they sold but do not own back to the owners.

There was a point when Fauci said you did not need a mask, mainly so people wouldn't panic buy the stock that hospitals wanted.

Haha, here we don't have to imagine.

Now, hear me out, but what if we could take back our vote and unelect our representatives? Now, yeah, it's probably a bad idea in practice, but when has that ever stopped anyone who wanted to feel good about the decisions they make? President does something you don't like? Retract your vote with other like minded community members and put it towards someone who will learn from watching their peer being pulled down from his position. This of course would affect all elected officials, representatives, senators, and presidents. Once unelected, such officials would be barred from holding any position, associating, or speaking with any of federal, state, local, and municipal governments in any official capacity until four years time has passed. This policy would also place power back into the hand of the people, where it should be, and should have never left. Thanks for coming to my TedX talk.

I mean, Trump made it through a term without a heart attack.
