We’d have to spend a fortune on defense.

We’d suffer massive losses from being cut off from interstate trade agreements.

We’d have to deal with massive immigration issues.

We’d probably get our shit pushed in from all the federal military bases within the state.

I think it’s waaaay easier to just oust the current leadership and remove all the Congress members that aided and abetted.

What country you even from, that you do not have your own racism problems to deal with?

Start at home.

We got plenty of our own problems, best to leave it to Japan to figure out their own.

Japanese people have a right to ask questions about issues they are concerned about.

Asking whether or not you have actively participated in crimes against humanity is a reasonable question to ask, and if you do not want to answer it, then you can just go elsewhere.

If you go into someone else’s house, you need to be respectful of their space.

Many Chinese and Indian tourists regularly trample the alpine flower fields at Mt. Rainier National Park for selfies or just as a shortcut when they get tired of walking on the hiking paths.

When confronted, instead of being apologetic, they get defensive and diminish the impact of their actions by demeaning American culture and spaces.

“It’s just some flowers. They’ll grow back!”

Yeah, maybe. But that will take eighty years and it may not even happen due to climate change.

These kind of behaviors are what sours locals against tourism, especially when it is consistent across a cultural tourist groups.

We all need to do better when visiting each other’s spaces, and that starts by owning our cultural shortfalls and poor behavior, with the goal of personally improving our own.

Ironically, I’ve never heard any complaints about Japanese tourists, as they often arrived well-educated about local customs and behave respectfully.

I am unsure of why you felt the need to write a rebuttal to a point that was not made.

Wikipedia will be a much better source, but my understanding is that psychosis can be a temporary symptom, or it can be a permanent health condition that calls for medical treatment.

Psychoactive drugs like marijuana, mushrooms, LSD, etc. can trigger permanent psychotic health condition on people who have genetic traits predisposed to such conditions.

It’s like a genetic game of roulette whenever any of us smoke it-- it could be the beginning of a very difficult health condition to manage for the rest of our lives.

1. Elon and his brother hold most of the stock. He does not need to be the CEO to control Tesla and profit directly.
2. Tesla are garbage cars that keep getting people killed and injured, even getting trapped and burnt to death inside.
3. Tesla commits odometer fraud to avoid honoring warranties they sold to their customers.
4. Other automakers who have been building cars for decades longer than Tesla have superior electric vehicle offerings, and much cheaper prices.
5. Tesla committed rebate fraud in Canada.
6. Teslas are one of the most expensive vehicles to insure, because they break down and malfunction at higher rates than other comparable vehicles.

I could go on and on and on, but the above alone should be sufficient.

It’s wasn’t my generation that sold them.

My generation is working hard at getting them back.

I believe in a better world, with less selfishness and cruelty, and I’m working hard to make that happen.

Our governments are bought and paid. We’re fighting to get them back, but it’s not going to be easy.

This is happening in all developed nations.

It’s an international crisis.

Ok, let’s say someone does walk up to me wearing overalls and a flannel shirt with a huge scraggly beard and says they identify as a woman.

How exactly does that impact any of us negatively?

Why can’t people call themselves whatever gender they identify as?

Explain to me what the problem with that is.

I love people from Finland.

You are all like seals, letting the bad vibes roll off your back.

Also, always nibbling on fish.
