Mine is that we should be engaging in massive and authoritarian population control measures as the only real hope of avoiding possible mass extinction in 50-150 years.
Sure, I recognize the human rights issues. But it’s either that or we’re goners.

Humanity Is About to Kill 1 Million Species in a Globe-Spanning Murder-Suicide.
Great and accurate headline.
A lot of people don’t seem to realize the fix we’re in. They’ll learn, though, or their children will.

At least 50% of people’s computer “problems” could be solved if they’d literally just read what is right on the screen.
I will never understand that. Never.
In The Ethics Of It
10. Hillary Clinton's obvious corruption, Barack Obama's ineptitude and weakness, and Biden's bad judgment and creepiness are *selling points* for older Democrats. They hate ethical politicians. Ethical politicians embarrass and humiliate them.

This is something I didn’t understand until I read Lance Mannion’s hooey on how Bernie Sanders was not corrupt enough to be a real politician, and how that was one of the reasons Mannion didn’t support him. Of course he didn’t say “corrupt,” he just said that Sanders hadn’t been forced to make moral compromises and to accept money from lobbyists, therefore he was not adequately-suborned by outside interests and thus could not govern.
Of course, that == corruption.
For the most part, Boomers do not want good politicians. They want the status quo, and that is achieved easily by compromised milquetoasts like Obama, and corrupt-to-the-core old yellow bellies like Biden.
