For those who haven’t seen it yet, go watch Idiocracy from Mike Judge. It’s a preview of the years to come.

> Come on, scro! Don't be a pussy! Besides, you do a kick-ass job and you get a full pardon.
At least Biden let the process play out before issuing the pardon so the public got to know all the details.
That sentence didn't age well.

It's a film that was intended as a joke, and uses Eugenics as its premise. Yes, the Internet has made idiots louder, but it has also helped intelligent people become smarter. The next 4 years will be like the last 8, minus the pandemic.
Uh, false?
eugenics includes positions like "unfavorable should reproduce less than the favorable"
Factually true about the correlation between higher standard of living and having fewer kids. However, that exact discussion has been used as a dog whistle against other "undesirable" groups in the past. The movie's beginning implies it would be better if we decide who gets to have kids.
Overall a great movie, but I think that part has aged poorly.
Given that the phenomenon is essentially real, what do you think that means?
Is reality problematic?
Look around! I'd say so! :)
Yes, calls to takeover ally countries and releasing a presidential cryptocurrency really remind me of the last 8 years.
What has happened to Americans??
We still haven’t restored the part of the US federal government that stopped SARSv1 (they operated out of China and other countries with the cooperation of local authorities). Trump disbanded them before SARSv2 (aka COVID-19), so they weren’t around to respond to it.
Also, we’re still funding the biological weapons research programs that almost certainly created COVID (according to documents from multiple departments in the Biden administration).
On top of all that, RFK’s trying to switch everyone to raw milk in the middle of a bird/cow flu pandemic. That creates a new disease transmission vector that’ll probably help it cross to humans.
