It’s not a crazier idea than most of Kennedy’s. Someone should do a study. Or make one up, nobody checks anymore.

    I hate to break this to you but this shit level of empathy has been with humans for thousands of years. This is not a new phenomenon. It’s not caused by microplastics.

    What is new is empowering those without empathy to decide world leaders that have an obscene amount of power. That’s a relatively new development for humanity.

      Honestly, that’s been around forever too, whether by votes or force of arms… Come to think of it, it’s mostly the force of wealth and always has been.

      The love of money is the root of all evil etc
