the high powered magnet is always on. it's never safe to put metal near and MRI.

not at all practical. a big ol buzzer would have prevented this maybe, but really it's the relaxed culture around the MRI that let it happen. people need to be told either you don't go past the big heavy door with the NO METALS sign, or you get all the metal off you now, or both.

We're not doing capitalism in the US anyway. You can argue it's state capitalism, but personally I don't see it. I'd say we're deep into full on monopolies and oligarchy. If you have enough money and you buy out it otherwise lock out competing business and create vertical integration, the government will subsidize your business, especially your payroll, and if you go bankrupt they will reward you with no taxes for life, or bail out money that you can 90% give yourself personally as a yearly bonus. None of that is capitalism, it doesn't fit that model. We're also letting corporations call themselves individuals with rights, which is absurd, and it's the argument for letting business openly bribe and sponsor politicians, on top of making it also legal to directly pay politicians to vote specific ways, as long as you pay them after the vote happens and not before. None of this fits the capitalist model. Monopolies are supposed to be illegal in capitalist models because it's known to break the model. Regulations are supposed to stop individual businesses from owning their own supply chain, distribution system, raw materials, manufacturing, all in one company. Because, again, it was always known this would break the model. We aren't capitalist. We're in an oligarchy. Might make rights, money is in charge, and there are only rules for the not owner class.

You gotta make them work hard to kill you.

Define 'define' define up or define down then define it.

Well, man, that's because it is clearly presenting people with higher education and very white in appearance and culture as the people who should be breeding, and people with worse education and cultural identification and behavior that's more common with not so white people in the US as those that are doing too much breeding. In reality education level has more to do with your parents zipcode when you were born rather than your DNA, and cultural behavior isn't any part of human DNA or a thing you breed for. Sorry about all your feelings, you seem to have missed that I was defending the film for being a comedy and that these opening bits are jokes not a serious attempt at understanding or addressing problems.

Honestly a lot of these terms are quite old and not great at describing current politics.

The movie is a comedy, not a serious attempt to diagnose the world's or America's problems, but the emphasis on ''only stupid people are breeding'' in the beginning of the film is one of the causes of the dystopia, that is eugenics, which is a disproven racist part of academia that had it's part in the nazi movement. So it's a dangerous idea to promote, but that's not what the comedy is about. It's just a gag.

It's not being serious. I understand intelligence isn't a breeding stat, and smart people having kids isn't going to produce a smart society, if it would only talk about reduced education and cultural trends as the cause of mass idiocy, but that's really not what the film is about. It's not actually advocating for eugenics.

FAR better! Like, not even ironically better, all the way better.

There's been a lot of effective action, and you'll never see it on the news.

Millions of beds in homeless shelters have been built with his programs, yes, he does the bullshit harm tactics, but he's spent way more money on real solutions than any other CA governor. One of the attack points Republicans have come up with is attacking him on the ''rise in homelessness by millions'' what they don't say is that this stat is coming from the millions of homeless people who are now being counted as they have shelters to sleep in. They are calling it a rise because the number isn't a guess anymore because they have shelter. Don't fall for the bullshit. We have to not punish the politics that are actually spending money where he want it.
