> someone, very high up, is trying to end the US war in Ukraine
Wow! Ending a war!? That would be terrible!

Absolute facts.
We don't see a moral component to borrowing money we never intend to pay back (there is a huge moral component, we're selling our kids into slavery because we want free shit) so there's little reason not to keep borrowing forever.
But with that hole in our collective morality, we're doing terrible damage.

Imagine running as a candidate on the right, and thinking to yourself, "you know, I'll bet what those deplora- ..conservative people think is that there aren't enough mainstream mainstream critics of trump!"
How could you possibly be this out of touch as a candidate?

In the past three years or so, we've moved from fiscal irresponsibility to outright plunder
It looks like a race by politicians to get as much money as you can before it's gone

This is what it looks like to overplay your hand.
They pushed so hard on Russia with financial weapons that they caused the entire world to take notice and look for alternatives.

> Brains rewired for fear in a way we’ve never seen before
From the thread..
"I saw a kid at my dental practice who was completely fearful of all germs bc of covid.
He asked me if he could be moved to another room to have his cleaning away from other kids. (I was happy to oblige)
But after the cleaning he wouldn't walk with me to the exit unless I was 10 feet in front of him.
I asked if he wanted a coin for our toy machine we have and he accepted.
He went to the bathroom to wash the coin before putting it in the machine...
I mean that kids psychology towards germs was completely destroyed bc of covid and im sure he isn't the only one.
Just as a disclaimer I'm pro science. This was just a sad result of protecting our young ones."

Kids brains are sponges at that age. If you isolate them, and feed them a diet of fear, it isnt hard to imagine the ways that could mess them up.
That's why "The science" is such a dangerous way to look at decision making.
When you're making decisions, you aren't balancing a chemical equation. It isn't that you just need to add 1 mol of hydrogen to 0.5 mol of oxygen and you'll accomplish what you want. The world is complicated and decisions are complicated. You could create a policy to increase a number, and not only could the policy fail to increase that number like you wanted, it could change 50 other numbers you never wanted to change. Besides that, there could be effects you can't quantify with numbers.
Intelligence is being able to create a model that correctly predicts that if you change X you'll affect Y. Wisdom is being able to question whether you want to change X in the first place.

Even for the Redditor, in the most generous and best case scenario, if you believe lock-downs and "social distancing" worked, it was a Pyrrhic victory at best, if you're being/allowed to be honest.
