SPOILER ALERT: Not since 2013 it hasn't.

Imagine the hypocrisy of a government who will allow businesses to card people to get a job or buy groceries, but won't card people to vote in elections and gives millions of non-citizens free money from taxpayers.

I haven't read the book, but as I understand it this sounds very much like Noam Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent
I think of what's going on with the media, think-tanks, and politicians as Manufacturing Reality . We're being fed a narrative that has about as much staying power as Wile E. Coyote running on thin air.
The US debt? ... ignorable
Financialism being touted as a value-creator instead of manufacturing? ... a non-topic
The unsustainable US military presence everywhere? ... perfectly normal and fine
Who is really setting policy in the US? ... the question is never asked
And so on.
Instead what we're presented with are decades of narratives, fairy-tales, and smokescreens, that tell us the world isn't what it really is. And since they're generally flattering (America is THE indispensable nation!) and tell us life will never get hard or require anything other than lazy cheerleading (let us eat cake! and play with our toys!), people are only too happy to be lulled into submission.
And where hard reality bumps into the narrative, well ... it must be a failure of the individual.

Give me liberty or just come shoot me in my house. I'm so over this ridiculous reality.

Quote:In 2012, 71.2% of adults in Mexico were obese or overweight. In 2017 the figure was 72.3%.
SPOILER ALERT: Not since 2013 it hasn't.
So, of the 28.6% of Mexico who were not overweight, The Mexican government claims for reducing fat by increasing fat-inducing food chopped away at another 3.6% of the remaining normal population in only 4 years.
Trying to give them diabetes, as well as extra fat.
Are these idiot Mexican legislators taking lessons from Libtard U.S. Legislators on how to rule stupidly?

And the world is flat, and JFK wasn't assassinated.
Just because one refuses to acknowledge reality doesn't mean it won't flatten you like a steam roller if you're in its path.
