Ok. Case closed then.

And windows actually runs better in a VM than on baremetal.

Please elaborate how you arrived at this conclusion.

See the second half of my comment.

You can invest in international markets if you think the US market is doomed. Still not a reason not to save. The bigger problem is that so many people simply can’t afford living expenses AND saving for retirement.

I’m sure the situation is dire, but I’m not sure it communicates an accurate picture by lumping in 21 year olds with people who’ve been in the workforce for decades.

21 yr olds who are just entering the workforce or are in college aren’t expected to have much, if any, retirement savings at that stage in their lives.

A better picture would be to break it down by age group. Still not a pretty picture, I’m sure.

Recent JD Vance interview went something like this:

Lulu Garcia-Navarro: “Senator, yes or no: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?”

JD Vance: “Let me ask you a question. Is it OK that big technology companies censored the Hunter Biden laptop story, which independent analysts have said cost Trump millions of votes?”

Lulu Garcia-Navarro: “Senator Vance, I’m going to ask you again, did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?”

JD Vance: “Did big technology companies censor a story that independent studies have suggested cost Trump millions of votes? I think that’s the question.”

🤔

The altercation came moments after Trump criticized major media outlets for what he said was unfavorable coverage and dismissed CNN as fawning for its interview Thursday with his Democratic rival Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz.

It appears the man was going after members of the press, not Trump.

Except that he’s apparently been registered as a Republican since 2021…and he didn’t enter the event.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.

I think what you said is true. But you’re referring to people who have an actual handicap and are discriminated against for it.

What I’m referring to is the idea of allowing myself to believe that a people group are less intelligent than I am just because they don’t align with me politically or ideologically. There is no actual handicap for which they are being discriminated against, simply having a different life experience and different view point is enough. It’s ironically a deeply fascist mentality…and I agree it is everywhere.

I was mainly responding to the previous comment which characterized right-wingers as having “lesser cognitive ability”. Just saying that that kind of thinking sets up a “we’re superior” mentality that can too easily lead to the same kinds of consequences as thinking you’re superior based on race or social status. There are so many environmental and experiential factors that go into where a person lands politically and how effective certain forms of propaganda are on them. Blanket statements that characterize entire people groups as less intelligent are not in any way accurate or helpful.
