If Dr. Andrew Wakefield 'admitted it was completely fake' why would he produce a movie in 2016 with Dr. William Thompson of the CDC saying precisely the opposite?

China exerts influence on Hollywood even though its not in their jurisdiction, they control access to the Chinese moviegoer.

I'd rather make up my own mind than have the cultural mandarins tell me what I should think. Honestly, if us plebs can think for ourselves, maybe we shouldn't be allowed to vote. Personally I'm wondering if Hillary can stand up for 90 mins straight since she obviously has a debilitating neurological issue.

unlimited immigration would depress wages and break the social net, so that is also not desirable.

I want the West to prosper because individual has more personal freedom here than in Communist China.

>Globalization improves workers rights
This isn't true for China. They use prison labor, they have no right to unionize, they have child labor, they don't follow their own minimum wage law, they don't have anything like a western country's workplace safety laws.
Globalization does not increase wages for people in western countries, that's why these companies are keen on getting H1B visas and getting cheaper labor.

Don't spend time on reddit if you are so easily upset.

I'm not the one making bad faith arguments like 'the only negative result is public distrust of nuclear plants'
2AF3 | 9 years ago | on: Fukushima: A second Chernobyl?
Not all radioactive material is created equal. I would read an article about how dangerous the coal plant radioactive material if anyone knows of one.
2AF3 | 9 years ago | on: Fukushima: A second Chernobyl?
The radiation is going into the Pacific and not the air, maybe that's preferable.
2AF3 | 9 years ago | on: Fukushima: A second Chernobyl?
The other poster doesn't know how many people will die from the meltdown especially since there's no agreement on estimating Chernobyl deaths. The pro-nuclear crowd proudly boasts the number is zero which I don't believe, the plant manager died of radiation as many of the sailors on the USS Reagan, which brings the total up from zero.

Everyone knows a tsunami caused Fukushima, the question is 1) what are the health implications of it and 2) can it ever be contained? The answers seem to be 1) we can't measure (it now) and 2) no.
2AF3 | 9 years ago | on: Fukushima: A second Chernobyl?
In what way is it not worse than Chernobyl? Fukushima is a triple meltdown and the cores are not entombed in concrete. If people die from Fukushima they will die of cancer and not 'radiation' so we won't know the real mortality numbers for a long time.

I think 'Propella' is a compelling e-bike, it looks normal which I think is important because something fancier attracts thieves. In my dream world I would buy a 'Vintage Electric', but I know it would get stolen in five seconds.

I'm waiting for a distributed system, any non-profit has to comply with government censorship.
