Because none of that stuff ever existed in Hollywood before conservatives starting crying about woke stuff, right?

Not to the extreme extent we're seeing these days...no.

Have you considered what you call "left" is more a reflection upon your biases and environment and limitations

I speak of "the left" as how the general political divide is in the US, since that is where I live and am a citizen of....

I'm sure the problems have nothing to do with ruining beloved characters...race and gender swapping, and more interested in promotion of "the message" rather than true to the cannon story telling.

As did the Agent Orange responsible for my LADA diabetes and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Still, I think I came out a better man for the experience.

Those under 25 might find themselves with a new job as a military conscript late next year.

And if so, it may well turn out to be the best thing that's ever happened to them, although they probably won't believe it at the time. Not only will they get food, shelter and a paycheck out of it, they'll come away with some new and marketable skills as well. And, once they're out, they'll have access to subsidized schooling to put a polish on those skills and low cost world-class medical care for the rest of their lives.

The massive tax cut going through the US Senate right now

What tax cut?

They are merely making permanent the current tax levels we have NOW...otherwise eveyrone's taxes are going to jump way up....

As for the rest of your rant...wow, you sounds like a nervous nelly, how are you able to sleep at night being so frighten the sky is falling and that climate change will send us to the Stone Age in the next year or so....

I'm still always confused at your worry about the US and how we conduct our business here, since you are not living here and not an American.....?

What makes you say that? How much PBS News Hour have you watched recently?

I tend to flip through all the news shows/channels I can on almost a daily basis....

I"ll admit tt's likely been a month or so, last time I tuned into the news programs on PBS, but I find they like NPR are usually quite leftist slanted much of the time.

Candidate A: hardworking successful and respected prosecutor, Senator, and Vice President. Exemplary record of promoting health care, voting rights, and reducing gun violence and crime. Full understanding and adherence to the rule of law. Well educated. Articulate as a court officer should be.

LOL...good one,always start out with a joke.

Oh man...especially good is that "articulate" part at the end there..hehehe.

Thanks for the morning laugh my friend....

PBS News Hour is pretty solid

Pretty solid left leaning for sure...

Yup. And as the brain reduces receptors to compensate for the increased dopamine levels you get an increased craving for more drug hits. So just like opiates, nicotine, amphetamines, and cocaine, people just keeping coming back again and again for their next Fox hit. It is essentially a drug addiction, just with a different delivery mechanism.

I guess no different than those fans of MSNBC and to some extent CNN, eh?

The trustworthy news media train derailed when Walter Cronkite left.

Uncle "Walt" had a good bit of bias back in his day too.....

Zuck is a literal Nazi who banned people for posting links to the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust. Meta is a shit nazi company that needs to be killed off.

Yes, but that's not what I responded to. If you'll look at the OP, you'll see that among other things the poster suggested that the company was getting rid of some "worthless patents," and this one accidentally got included. That's what I responded to. Sorry for any confusion.

It's very unlikely that any pharma company is holding on to worthless patents. If nothing else, getting a patent granted takes both time and money, and there's no point in patenting something unless you have a use for it. And, when you apply for a patent, you have to make one or more claims, each one of them describing a use for whatever you're patenting that you want protected. No use, no claims, no patent.

They are elected TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT.

Ok...to do what is RIGHT....with definition of "right" being the will of the voter.

The politicians are not there to be the arbiters of right or wrong...they are there to represent the will of the people, whatever that may be.
