Flag on the play, under the hood for review.
What is scientific about "getting some things right", and yet missing completely on the most dire predictions, such as, worldwide famine no later than the 70's and 80's? Shirley you can't be serious. You people are the true deniers.
"They got some things right"? You could throw darts at a board and, "get some things right.
Every life matters

Good afternoon Politalker,
I'm in favor of anything that prevents fraud and abuse in the system. Having distribution centers that only give out approved foods. Perhaps delivering healthy staple type foods to people instead of giving out cards if they can't get to the centers.
That would be nice, but I would have concerns about people trusting each other with their kids. And of course, you couldn't allow the fathers to freeload in the homes. Which would be similar to one of the current problems with our system in that it discourages women from getting married.I wish I had a better solution. I have toyed with the idea of 'Compassion Centers.' Those would be facilities where the food insecure could go to live and have enough food. They would reside in a group home where the emphasis would be conquering poverty by learning skills and having fewer children. Residents could provide child care for one another to free up time for classes and work. And they could focus on the importance of breaking the cycle of cross generational poverty and having children to get benefits.
That is definitely something we can agree upon.Somehow we have got to address the problem of rewarding unwed child birth with benefits. Any ideas along that thought?
You know I'm always in favor of tax breaks!And why are we only trying to limit population growth among the poor?
Maybe there should be nice tax breaks for the wealthy to go childless or only have one.

I have firmly believed, for some time now, that a world wide catastrophe would occur, the following would happen:
Let's say the catastrophe kills 25% of the entire population.
1 - Within 30 days 1/3 of those left alive would die, due to other resulting circumstances (disease, injuries, etc.)
2 - Within another 30 days, 1/2 if those left would die; due to them being unable to provide for themselves (finding adequate food and shelter)
3 - Within another 60 days, 1/2 of those left would die, due to being "squeamish" about their food source(s).
I have two cartoons that I want to get drawn, that go along with # 2 and 3.
For #2: we have a group of survivors that stumble upon a store, in the middle of nowhere, that hasn't been looted.
After breaking in, they see rows upon rows of canned goods all covered in cobwebs.
Going down the isles, looking at their good fortune, they turn a corner and see a skeleton sitting down and leaning back against of the rows of shelves.
He's covered in cobwebs also and he's holding a can in his skeletal hand.
The little "thought bubble" above him, says - "I wish I had found a can opener".
For #3: there are a small collection of survivors sitting around a campfire.
The survivors are a mix from society.
One guy looks to be ex-military, there's a young couple with a baby, a woman who appears to be maybe a farmer, another women who's wearing a mink stole, a large diamond ring, and pearls, and finally there's a grizzled old man, who's stirring a large metal pot.
The woman wearing the mink stole, says "What are we having for supper" and the old man says "We got lucky, I found a large turtle, a good sized snake, and two fat lizards" the woman says "Well, I'm not eating that", so the old man goes "Anyone want seconds".
SEDITION: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.

Well, it's my opinion based on what I see and hear.
Let's say one group thinks 'Climate Change' is a real issue, and let's say another group (like Trump) thinks it's a Chinese Hoax.
"Under the Paris Agreement, each country must determine, plan, and regularly report on the contribution that it undertakes to mitigate global warming.[6] No mechanism forces[7] a country to set a specific target by a specific date,[8] but each target should go beyond previously set targets. In June 2017, U.S. President Donald Trump announced his intention to withdraw the United States from the agreement. Under the agreement, the earliest effective date of withdrawal for the U.S. is November 2020, shortly before the end of President Trump's current term. In practice, changes in United States policy that are contrary to the Paris Agreement have already been put in place.[9][10]"

If there is no consensus on the 'facts', then people are going to reach different conclusions.
I'm in no way a "lib" and my cartoon goes along with my belief that way to many people are unable to provide for themselves (finding adequate food and shelter).
How many people know how to make water drinkable, when they have no way to boil it, or even how to make a simple solar water collector?
Here's an example.
Watch what happens with something happens with a cell phone provider and people can't use their phones; because they panic.
