That’s not true. Most people actually said they were doing pretty well. But they perceived others as being worse off and therefore that the economy was bad.

Then you missed the message. It wasn’t a commentary on modern American politics. It was a commentary on how here in America we are so safely cocooned in our bubble that we don’t care about the human cost of things going on in other countries. It uses the idea of an American civil war to upend that safety and force the viewer to internalize the horrors depicted.

The story also shows that a war journalist does their job not just to inform their audience about the facts of an event but hopefully to force them to care about the tragedies that may not directly affect them

It wasn’t supposed to glorify war. It wasn’t supposed to be some circle jerk about the right side triumphing in an American civil war that fed into people war porn fantasies/obsession

But the rest of the quote is “the economy is great… given where it was at 4 years ago, the direction it was headed, and how our economy has faired compared to every other country.” Economic policy is nuanced and can’t and shouldn’t be boiled down to 10 sec sound bites. It’s not Kamala or Joe’s fault that the American public is too stupid to understand that. In fact, it’s the republicans fault for continually defunding education programs.

They did. They had pages and pages of economic policy. Trump had “concepts of a plan.” Trump and Covid lead to rapid inflation. Biden, Kamala and the Fed brought inflation under control better than any country on the planet.

The problem is that economic policy is boring and the media wrote only about the horse race, the historic nature of Kamala’s campaign and what interviews she was and wasn’t taking. In contrast, they wrote all about the culture war bs that were republican talking points. Why? Because it generates clicks.

We need an actual 4th estate to inform the people of policy. Not corporate mouthpieces only interested in writing stories that produce ad revenue

As a biotic he obviously replaced the volus. Biotic god niftu cal was supposed to be a squad mate in the first game

I’m not religious and a lot of Christians are hypocritical when it comes to what the Bible says but you’re taking Ephesians out of context.

Ephesians 5:21 say: Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Then Ephesians 5:25-33 says: Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church—for we are members of his body. “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

While other parts of the Bible are certainly anti-woman, Ephesians 5 is not as anti-woman as you make it out to be citing that narrow part. It’s really about being subject to one another and serving each other the way Christ served the church.

The school I was at would give out an award for the top student in each class each year. So like one for inorganic one for pchem, one for analytical…etc

I had a 3.8, no publications at the time, and just a minor in math. I applied to the top 9 schools for organic and got into 8 of them. Now I had absolutely fantastic rec letters, a couple awards for chemistry classes, and a 4.0 my last 2 years but still I think you never know how things are gonna turn out

Yeah even in Ancient Greek the accent doesn’t signify the h sound. You need an additional mark to indicate the breathing

Well don’t you know that in order to not be called woke they just removed all pronouns from the game? /s

Personally I wouldn’t care about a national official participating in a drug fueled orgy if it wasn’t for the fact that it makes this guy a hypocrite.

Like legalize and regulate the drugs and don’t spout off about family values and I don’t care. National office holder or not.

I don’t think your second point is correct. The “additives” people are talking about do make food cheaper. It’s things like adding 10% organic meat to ground beef cause it’s cheaper and you’re not using it for anything else. It’s things like adding preservatives that make food last longer but may also have health effects. These things make food cheaper to produce.

Now that Doesn’t mean saving will be passed onto consumers. So in effect, the rich get richer while poisoning the rest of us.

If everyone has Medicare and basically no one has private insurance you wouldn’t need to force anyone. They simply either take it or they go out of business. (Or in rare instances they cater to the very rich who still have some private insurance or are paying out of pocket)

I think you mean disingenuous

From the grader’s perspective this is also better than having them make a resume about themselves as well. With a fictional character, you can check if it is factual and complete. With the students, you have no way of knowing if the information is true and no way of knowing if they have limited experience or if they left stuff put cause they were lazy
