Maybe he’s in denial that it’s impossible to achieve or he doesn’t have any idea to how to achieve it.
He's just ignorant, if you want to be charitable.
Or dumb, if you don't.
This is the kind of person who thinks real life scientists can learn their trades better by watching movies.
I mean, I had a friend growing up who would watch "20 minutes into the future" Sci Fi shows on TV and fully expect what was shown to be available to the public in that time frame, and would get angry, legitimately angry, at society for failing him when we didn't get our food replicators and flying cars in 2005.
Armchair philosophers and futurists are frequently ignorant of anything they don't like, which means they deny the role something like banking regulations or representative democracy or the logistics of a supply chain make their proposals untenable.... and simply label such things not as obstacles to overcome but innate cognitive weaknesses in the general population that everyone ELSE must outgrow and stop being obsolete.
It's like, yes, we could grow wheat on the Moon, there's nothing from a technical standpoint that makes it impossible right now, but, the cost of it means it's not going to happen. But as soon as you say "cost", people like Bob blow up in your face and say "Duh, there won't be
money in the future! Are you even
listening to me, you savage?"
What they don't like, they simply.... disregard.
RED STATES HAVE NO EXPORTS, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!
Where do you think the corn syrup that comprises 98% of your diabetic blood stream comes from?
It makes me smh too, I mentioned in another thread that my red state is home to the General Electric locomotive works, Erie Pennsylvania.... they export MILLIONS of dollars worth of locomotives around the WORLD, in fact, you can sometimes see trainloads of, well, trains.....
.... since some foreign customers (Brazil in this case) use different track gauges than us, so we can't drive the engines to the port, we have to haul them...
Hey, Bob, pass a MACK semi truck today? Guess where it was built? Macungie, Pennsylvania, that's their ONLY plant.... EVERY one comes from there. No exception. And the Mack website lists 45 export countries.
How about farm equipment? Ever see a "New Holland" brand combine harvester? Or tractor? Or manure spreader? Wonder where the name came from? It was founded in New Holland, Pennsylvnaia, and the plant is still there today and sells to a listed 180 export nations....
So much for exporting nothing, I guess..... and sorry if that was :autism: but damn, that makes me mad. Don't shit on my state for reasons that aren't true, we've done plenty of things wrong if you want to tweak our noses, (Centraila, Three Mile Island, The Pittsburgh Pirates, James Buchanan) but having no place in the superior globalist future because we have a stone age economy that only sells rocks is NOT one of them.
(We do that too, coal is export number one, still)
