The #Trump #MAGA lies about the government controlling the #Weather reminded me of, when I worked #NASA education at #KSC, how I'd be asked "where are the NASA weather machines." People insisted NASA had weather machines on the coastline controlling the weather!
I'd tell them there's no such thing, go see for yourself, but they wouldn't believe me.
It didn't happen often, maybe five times a year, but it *did* happen.
@LnzyHou @WordsmithFL It's the latter but I didn't think it's the fault of the gullible. There are evil people out there trying to manipulate others for personal gain. Blame them.
Blame doesn’t work. They must be voted out of power.
@LnzyHou @danielbsmith @WordsmithFL I’m convinced it is both , the education and the mental too ( as you mentioned), ignorance gives power to the people in charge, that is why they are putting the Bible back in school, and let me clarify, reading the Bible doesn’t make you ignorant, but it does take precious time from mathematics, geography, biology , history and that is evil , and mentally for obvious reasons, yesterday someone posted this article, this proves it .
@Jorro That article is off-the-charts scary. Before the last couple of years, I'd have found it impossible to conceive of, far less believe, that people could be so abysmally stupid. @LnzyHou @danielbsmith @WordsmithFL

It’s where we are. The plumber called in to fix my hot water problem told me the government causes climate crisis.
I was speechless.
Just wanted him out of my apartment.
@LnzyHou @Pat_Walrond @Jorro @danielbsmith @WordsmithFL
There's some truth in that but you have to squint really hard to find it.
The government establishes vehicle emissions standards and mileage requirements, factory emissions, clean water standards, fuel subsidies to help big polluters continue polluting.
Tobacco, lies
Big pharma, lies
Oil producers, lies, lies, lies
Coal, lies
Everyone lies to Congress and everyone knows that except apparently congressmen.
@KGinKS @LnzyHou @Pat_Walrond @danielbsmith @WordsmithFL Congress know, they just don’t care , keep the donations coming!!
@Jorro @LnzyHou @Pat_Walrond @danielbsmith @WordsmithFL
Every solution in congress leaves some little piece undone, a loophole to be exploited, an exception for a group. Both parties do this. Not really legislators, more like outrage farmers.
