In the very beginning there’s a scene where people are watching a war film that seemed eerily reminiscent of the attacks on boats in Venezuela.

I didn’t have any problems with what Obama did at that time. I just thought it was premature to give him the award. It made it seem meaningless.
If I recall correctly, it was awarded before he actually did anything. It felt like wishful thinking, and then he proceeded to authorize strikes somewhere.
So did Obama, right before he ordered a bunch of strikes.
It nailed it. Too many people like myself deciding against having kids leads to people who probably shouldn’t have kids being the only ones doing it.
I didn’t have kids. This was a factor in my reasoning.

It’s similar to Kickstarter, where a certain level will get your name in the credits.
Funding for buildings is sometimes driven by recurring donations in exchange for someone’s name on the building. These funds pay for deferred maintenance and renovations.
What was that one dudes name…Schlepstein, something er other. I dunno.
I disagree. While it’s frustrating that people believe politicians and talk show hosts over scientists, it’s reasonable to fear something you don’t understand. What’s immature is a lack of critical thinking which much of the population seems to exhibit by choosing to listen to others or, in doing fact finding, allow for confirmation bias.
This statement is not helpful. If we’re looking to increase the number of people getting vaccinated, shame or embarrassment will likely lower that number further. People have a fear of making the wrong decision. If you share with them that you’ve been vaccinated and leave it at that, that’s someone real who has contradicted the narrative they subscribe to. If they respect you as a role model, they may change their behavior.
Goddamit—
