The situation in the USA for Autism

I don't understand it either, does nobody remember the Thatcher/Regan years when trickle down economics were going to level the playing field, reward hard work and make everyone richer? From what I remember, we all ended up poorer, or most of us did, there were the usual ones at the top who just got richer.

Has anyone seen the number Trump's just pulled and South African President Cyril Rampossa? Accusing him of allowing the genocide of white farmers and showing him a handful of dubious news reports? Another ambush similar to the one he subjected Zelinskyy too, fortunatley Rampossa didn't lose his rag and stayed calm which clearly annoyed Trump.

I think if you understand the where Trump is going you need to believe in trickle down economics and that you won't be on tomorrow's list of undesirables and in both cases it's no confidence from me.

When you keep giving these people money they never have enough and the only outcome is them taking joyrides to space or financially supporting multiple fatherless mothers to have their children.

I recently asked my dad (who’s a Trump supporter) what he thinks about the tariffs without showing him my bias and his response was that they’re painful because he’s already lost money on it. BUT: “Eventually when everything is said and done Trump is going to put his own money in our pockets near the end of his term.”

I really don’t understand billionaire worship like that.

"If Elon Musk's wealth as of today ($330B) were entirely hundred-dollar bills, then laid end-to-end, they'd circle Earth three times, and with what's left over, if taped end-to-end, will make a ribbon long enough to ascend into space and reach the Moon." Neil deGrasse Tyson

The country is in a lot of debt for sure. I guess any leader is either going to have to target the people with that much wealth or it's going to have to try and extract more from the rest of the world. What is worrying is the rhetoric of land grabbing, displacing the current list of undesirables and forcing companies into the USA. There can be no good outcome from this especially while those billionaires have systems in place to sell and extract a percentage of every transaction worldwide.

It always amazes me how thin skinned people like Trump, Putin and Farage are, they must walk round in a constant state of never having been so insulted by horrible people, that they then feel the need to obliterate.

I wonder if the tech bros are surrounding Trump, in the hope that he dosen't suddenly turn on them?

He is a shapeshifter, he basically becomes anyone he thinks will stir up a frenzy, muddle the message and enable him to re-write reality. He is like a mirror image of the main character of Herman Melville's novel The Confidence Man in which the character essentially becomes whoever he thinks can manipulate the current crowd into giving him what he wants.

If you look at what MAGA believes it makes you wonder about more than just trump's messy religious relationship. If you were to take a MAGA manifesto it would very closely approximate all the dogma in the bible minus the part about what Jesus said about loving thy neighbor, grace, humility and not worshiping false idols--hmm....? And you know what happens when you take the word dogmas and spell it backwards? SamGod...Same God?

sidenote: from wikipedia "In Sanskrit, the verbal adjective sáṃskṛta- is a compound word consisting of sáṃ ('together, good, well, perfected') and kṛta- ('made, formed, work')".....maybe it could be translated to Same Script?

You can also then take more or less what Jesus said according to the bible and compare it to the scripture of most other religions and what their religious leaders said. its pretty much the same message and Jesus was actually quite fluent in the Ying and the Yang but not the binary Good Vs Evil, Westernized version of it.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist but you have to admit that is a weird string of patterns is it not?

Really I think at their core all religions and those who find their truths in other ways gravitate around the same general universal principles for a reason that can actually be explained by religion or quantum physics if you have an open mind. The concept that some people call god, gods, goddess, Allah, great spirit or otherwise, I call the universe. But really deep down I do believe we all feel the presence of the SAMGOD, and the trick to not letting fear lead to hatred of others is to not let the dogmas lead you a-stray.

Unfortunately Trump has removed qualified people from every branch and replaced them with unqualified yes men. He has a very fragile ego much like Putin and his rhetoric of jailing and suing anyone who writes or says anything negative about him let alone oppose him is very worrying.

The guy has billionaires lined up around him that profit from billions of people worldwide on a daily basis from systems like PayPal and Amazon and directly profits from insider trading, meme coin and now a private jet. I think any hope that he wanted to 'drain the swamp' to free up funds for anyone but himself and the top 1% can be dismissed.

Maybe he won’t hold the job,  after all, autistic people are disposable! 

But I thought Autistic people can’t hold jobs or go on dates! At least, that’s what RFK Jr told me.

I guess he would have met Musk, but whilst he might not be lively or thoughful, he is inventive and has achieved a lot, or at least got very rich, which seems to pass for achievement for many people

Wouldn’t he have met Musk? Not that I think he is lively and thoughtful. 

I wonder if RFK has ever met an autistic person? Maybe he should pop in here and see what a lively and thoughful bunch we are? Some of us can even play ball games!

Изгнан,

I’ve noticed you removed your comments. I just want you to know that what you said was totally okay and I was not upset by what you wrote. Your opinion was and is valid, even if it has changed. Wishing you the best.

HMMMMMMMMMMM

I wonder which idiot that could be….

RFK Jr and people like him tell lies and don’t care if it is obvious to others or not, because autism isn’t really his concern. Making ever more grotesque sums of money, which to his eyes ‘elevates his status’, and creating a society that excludes disabled people and other ‘trouble makers’, is his goal. To him, autistic people and others with disabilities are not valuable. An inclusive society is certainly not in his sight.

For whatever reasons, JFK Jr’s psyche allows him to fabricate a mythical world in the most impudent fashion. History has shown what happens when people like him are in power. 

Because some idiot puts them there! But I agree, the man is totally unsuited to his office and quite passibly any high office.

“At an earlier hearing yesterday before the House of Representatives, RFK Jr said that he should not be trusted for medical advice. We agree. Unfortunately, this fact also means that he is wholly unqualified to continue to serve as the top public health official in the United States of America.”

Seriously. How do people like this end up in offices like this?

I’m not quite as optimistic. The way he is staffing his team indicates that any research he does is going to be biased towards unscientific conclusions. Example:

if he's not right, then that's it,

He’s not going to take no for an answer. He is going to somehow find some ridiculous, unfounded connection between vaccines/dyes and Autism and take that as law.
