Why not?
It’s not a gun thing. It’s a southern culture issue. Only two of the ten most armed states are in the south, and not one southern state breaks the top five.

Because it remained true even with rich people

that's called an anecdote and notably, not a substitute for the actual hard data
December 3, 2025 at 8:05 PM
again, they are still safer than human drivers. This is not debatable.

Ah, they’ve invented a median driver feature?

Honestly 2016 was just fucked, I don’t think Bernie would’ve been particularly successful either, especially with then allies like Tulsi Gabbard.

He survived the cultural revolution as an American educated intellectual. He was an elite talent.

Look, we asked the PRC if our top rocket guy was a spy, and they told us that he definitely was. What else were we supposed to do? Investigate and draw conclusions from the years of evidence suggesting he wasn’t a spy?
December 2, 2025 at 10:42 PM
This is stupider than that would be. We are educating people, creating masters in their field, and then giving them a reason to hate us, and THEN we send them back to our biggest rival, who has the resources to use their skills against us, which they will do, because we made them mad at us first.

Have you heard of this guy? American racists decided a top Chinese-American engineer was a spy. The PRC, who needed a man with his skills, was happy to trade captured Americans for him, despite him not wanting to go.

Then, out of options, he had to make missiles for China, and he was good.

The county employees didn’t find out until the Amazon people let it be known they were being recruited.

He’s replacing career civil servants with a corporate Varangian Guard.

There’s also plenty of people who are at least aesthetically on the left who share these vile opinions. Left wing people on TikTok reinvent “race mixing is bad” position at least twice a year.

You are the one suffering from American exceptionalism.
December 2, 2025 at 10:26 PM
Yeah you’ve made it abundantly clear you’re one of the Amazon goons they tried to recruit
December 2, 2025 at 9:33 PM
If you read it you’d have known the linked in post was about hiring, not firing, and you’ve made it abundantly clear you did not the article. Goodbye!
December 2, 2025 at 9:24 PM
Someone still hasn’t read the article
December 2, 2025 at 9:23 PM
Sure you were
December 2, 2025 at 9:22 PM
You could just read the article man, the county found out he was hiring from LinkedIn. Are you him on an alt or something?
December 2, 2025 at 9:18 PM
You still fundamentally do not seem to understand the definition of civil servant.
December 2, 2025 at 9:18 PM
Amazon knew before the county lol. You know what that means? He was recruiting Amazon people.
December 2, 2025 at 9:14 PM
They are both. This is not hard to understand
December 2, 2025 at 9:13 PM
You can be both. You just don’t actually know what a civil servant is because protections sure as hell aren’t an intrinsic part of the job description
December 2, 2025 at 9:12 PM
It means they work in a part of the government where they don’t have sufficient protections. They weren’t political appointees.
December 2, 2025 at 9:09 PM
They were both. That’s what their job is.

Do you not understand how the government works?
