“no reason”? if the alternative to a hand or arm amputation is death, yeah, i’m gonna choose a hand amputation.
that’s what our alternative is in your analogy. remember the US is highly polarized right now, so one (sane) group taking over the US govt is likely impossible, and even if successful would end up in a massive civil war. that would not only destroy life in the US for the foreseeable future, but the entire global economy and geopolitical equilibrium.
blame is irrelevant. what is relevant is choosing who you think will handle it best (or less bad) in the next 4 years. if you think that’s trump, you’re delusional. if you think trump would have handled the last 11 months better, you’re delusional.
lemmy is not the point. clearly the top comment was asking if trump was getting asked these same questions in general, not comments on lemmy.
that’s not true. see the very first charts here and here.
also, Trump didn’t HAVE to send much aid to israel because 2017-2020 just happened to be a relatively peaceful time with israel/palestine, unlike Obama’s and Biden’s terms.
Trump:
while kamala is getting hit on this issue, it’s important for people to keep in mind (or learn if they didn’t know) that Trump has historically been a fanatic supporter of israel and netanyahu. way beyond any other president, D or R.
their point was, let’s hold trump to the same standards as everyone else.

I’ll preface this by saying I pirate everything and don’t fuck with streaming. But for those who don’t, isn’t the best practice just to rotate a service or two a a time? Do you really need to sub to every service perpetually?
Streaming is getting shittier for sure, but even at its worst right now it’s still a lot better than cable ever was. Packages/services are more granular to choose from, signup and cancel on a monthly basis, no customer service rep hell bent on not letting you leave, and no hardware to install/rent/return.
and that’s reason #2 why i won’t get my dna tested.
OP joined 54 minutes ago. smells like a troll farm.
I didn’t say there aren’t valid reasons, my point was that there will be drawbacks that people may not be thinking about when responding to a simple poll. Especially people who don’t directly depend on tourist revenue, but likely benefit indirectly.
Yeah, who’s willing to murder a bunch of hapless astronauts?
pure ignorance.
Tell that to NASA.
what does this even mean? NASA knows, that’s why they didn’t let Boeing take astronauts back. NASA had concerns and acted accordingly, as a competent organization should.
but would they be happy with decreased revenue from fewer tourists visiting?
also:
At 28%, Spain was also the country where respondents were most likely to have a negative view of international tourists.
so maaaaaaaaybe this isn’t just about the quantity of tourists.
this is straight up nonsense. we get into orbit just fine, ISS has been operating for decades. Going beyond that is only a matter of political will, not a limit of tech or engineering. In fact they are working on Artemis to go back to the moon right now, and Mars after that.
and i actually disagree with the person above that we can go to mars right now. there are issues they need to figure out, but they are solvable problems. This isn’t like cold fusion that is 30 years away from being 30 years away.
also boeing isn’t representative of the aerospace industry or even just NASA. They are mismanaged and negligent. they can’t even build airplanes, never mind spacecraft.
he was so sure he had an argument winner with Maduro sending his criminals to the US, he couldn’t let it go.
difficult yes, of course. impossible, not even close. NASA’s goal is by the 2030s - even if you don’t believe that timeline which would be fair, the technology is well within our reach.
just landing on mars? nah that’ll happen soon. settling it on a long term basis is a whole other matter though.
also just… caves and shit.
you’re completely ignoring that a large portion of our populace are racist rednecks who fanatically support a guy like trump. it’s not just a systemic issue, we are a highly polarized nation and overthrowing the government won’t change that, it’ll only make it worse.
