I get it. I am old and it's too late for me as well.
I am concerned for my children, very much so.

We don't know that, and regardless, politics extend beyond the capital. The signal sent would be massively important.

Now that I have sworn off IndyCar, I must resist the urge to engage.
And this is the first thing they throw at me. This livery. And I can't even mock it mercilessly.
Shame. 🤣

If you are in marketing, look up Bill Hicks' standup routine on the subject.
Also, if the new livery for your massively expensive F1 project is incredibly dull, don't spend a fortune on a single advertisement that relies on visuals of the car to convey some sort of sense of excitement.

They'll agree to all that and then ignore the rules.
The only way to stop people like that is to end their ability to act.

Why would anyone reveal that on an open forum?
I know for a fact people self-manage conditions to avoid revealing "preexisting conditions" to industry/government.
Because a condition being "pre-existing" very much can be a death sentence in the U.S.

And by the way, you could replace anti-semitism in that post with a whole lot of other -isms, too.
Name calling, even for the good, has been discredited by MAGA along with other old reliable deceptive debate practices.
Faulty generalizations are not advancing your causes.

If you are complaining about anti-semitism in the old "paint them with a broad brush" way, I get it. Speak softly and carry a big stick, right?
But no one is buying it now. You can either address the complexities of the issues or you will be ignored by thinking people, just like MAGA is now.

People who claim liberalism is proto-fascism support systems that would limit personal freedoms in order to have community over competition, which is indeed a fine goal, but they never seem to accept that the heads of such governments are inevitably ultra narcissists like Trump: Mao, Stalin, et al.

Assume you are under surveillance always. There is no such thing anymore as confidentiality, not from companies, attorneys, physicians, or really anyone, all due to data theft.
Think strategically and tactically in all your dealings and communications.
Trust no system or organization.

A huge story that I see nowhere:
The role that the corporatization of medical practices plays in destroying patient/doctor trust and in patients withholding information that could be used against them by insurance companies or the government, thus limiting their own care.

I would think that your mission to explain difficult concepts to non-scientists would help prepare you for the role of BS detector.

Back in the good days of CART/Champ Car I once talked to a journalist at a preseason testing at Sebring, and I asked him what would be new with the cars and teams.
He said, “Welcome to Speculation Nation.”

They all imply that God favors one group over another. It's simulated tribalism using cult techniques to motivate the ignorant to obey an elite.

We produce oil have no refinery.
We produce electricity but make no money from it.
We have ports but cannot trade from them.
Would it be because we let another Country dictate the rules?
