I can see why you call it disingenuous but the point of the matter is that children are getting shot. You can break it down into as many catagories as you like, the bottom line is that far too many school aged children are dying violent deaths in a world that has enough knowledge and resources to know what the solutions are to prevent it. The only thing keeping that going at this point is political fuckery.

See, this is the fucking problem right here. You are a commoner. The person you replied to is a commoner. Compared to the ultra rich anybody but that tiny tiny subset of people are commoners. As long as we keep name calling and pointing fingers at each other this shit will never change and we’ll be rolling around in the mud until we all fry under the sun.

I understand your frustration, we all feel the same way. Let’s direct that frustration at the people and the system that is telling us to turn on each other simply so we are blind to how we’re all being played for fools.

I truly applaud your mental fortitude. I honestly had to stop scrolling through your info graphic after passing the malaria part. I simply couldn’t take it all in at once. I will come back to it tomorrow and take in another chunk of it, I’ll see how far I get then but I intend to take it all in albeit in bite sized chunks.

Keep it up and I’ll be looking for more of your projects later if I can handle it. The world is truly broken but I’m a firm believer that eventually we the common people will open our eyes to it and enact change. I don’t know how and I wish I knew how to contribute to that in some way even though I don’t believe I have the power within the current system.

Thank you.

I was going to comment something to make some more fun of you, but nothing I can say can do a better job at that than your own words here.

The starting point is a reference to school shootings where the police were too afraid to go into the school to stop the shooter.

And compete with amazon? By virtue of the sheer amount of wealth Bezos has accumulated it’s far too late for that. You can’t compete. Amazon can just sell at a loss until my new business tanks. I absolutely agree that amazon is a fantastic product from a consumer standpoint* but it’s now a behemoth that is basically immune to any fair competition. It’s said that America is the land of opportunity but at this point these massive corporations have long since used up that opportunity and are working hard to make sure nobody can follow them. That’s simply not fair, and not a proportional reward for bezos’ innovation. I’m not saying take it all away from him like some here are saying, I’m saying it’s time to realise that while innovation needs to be rewarded it should be reasonable and not be an uncontrollable and never ending leech on society.
