Sent to me today. Sometimes even Bill Maher can make some sense
Posted without comment.
The man makes sense. Wonder if they'll cancel him. doubt many of us are bill mauer fans, but when conservatives start agreeing with him it might be a wake up call.
"Real Time" Liberal host Bill Maher closed his show Friday night by sounding the alarm on China's growing dominance over the United States.
"You're not going to win the battle for the 21st century if you are a silly people. And Americans are a silly people," Maher began the monologue, alluding to a "Lawrence of Arabia" quote.
Do you know who doesn't care that there's a stereotype of a Chinese man in a Dr. Seuss book? China," he said. "All 1.4 billion of them couldn't give a crouching tiger flying f--- because they're not a silly people. If anything, they are as serious as a prison fight."
Maher acknowledged that China does "bad stuff" from the concentration camps of Uyghur Muslims to its treatment of Hong Kong.
But he stressed, "There's got to be something between an authoritarian government that tells everyone what to do and a representative government that can't do anything at all."
"In two generations, China has built 500 entire cities from scratch, moved the majority of their huge population from poverty to the middle class, and mostly cornered the market in 5G and pharmaceuticals. Oh, and they bought Africa," Maher said, pointing to China's global Silk Road infrastructure initiative.
He continued: "In China alone, they have 40,000 kilometers of high-speed rail. America has none. ... We've been having Infrastructure Week every week since 2009 but we never do anything. Half the country is having a never-ending woke competition deciding whether Mr. Potato Head has a d--- and the other half believes we have to stop the lizard people because they're eating babies. We are a silly people.
"Nothing ever moves in this impacted colon of a country. We see a problem and we ignore it, lie about it, fight about it, endlessly litigate it, sunset clause it, kick it down the road, and then write a bill where a half-assed solution doesn't kick in for 10 years," Maher explained. "China sees a problem and they fix it. They build a dam. We debate what to rename it."
The HBO star cited how it took "ten years" for a bus line in San Francisco to pass its environmental review and how it took "16 years" to build the Big Dig tunnel in Boston, comparing that to a 57-story skyscraper that China built in "19 days" and Beijing's Sanyuan Bridge, which was demolished and rebuilt in "43 hours."
"We binge-watch, they binge-build. When COVID hit Wuhan, the city built a quarantine center with 4,000 rooms in 10 days and they barely had to use it because they quickly arrested the rest of the disease," Maher said. "They were back to throwing raves in swimming pools while we were stuck at home surfing the dark web for black market Charmin. We're not losing to China, we lost. The returns just haven't all come in yet They've made robots that check a kid's temperature and got their asses back in school. Most of our kids are still pretending to take Zoom classes while they watch TikTok and their brain cells fully commit ritual suicide."
Maher then blasted Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, accusing him of degrading school standards by eliminating merit and substituting a lottery system for admittance to schools for advanced learners.
"Do you think China's doing that, letting political correctness get in the way of nurturing their best and brightest?" Maher continued. "Do you think Chinese colleges are offering courses in 'The Philosophy of Star Trek, 'The Sociology of Seinfeld,' and 'Surviving the Coming Zombie Apocalypse'? Those are real and so is China. And they are eating our lunch. And believe me, in an hour, they'll be hungry again."

China is the big threat. They gave us the China virus and pay our president very well!!
Isn't that what was being said. Only a hell of a lot better then Wonttakeitanymore and nwtk2007. And that is why America needs to wake up and do the right things like removing excessive regulations and getting things done for America and not each and every stupid little cupcake and whatever offends them.

Removing needless regulations? How funny considering the Texas power grid was seconds from collapse all because of the lack of regulations. So multiply that by 49 more states and if any one fails so will all others will follow. China is an authoritarian government. If they want something done they do it and if they have to walk over thousands of people they do that too. In China the only right the people have is to be walked over by their government. Here, we have rights and because of that authoritarian governments won't work--no matter how dearly you conservatives desire them.
And I agree with Bill but Biden is calling for high-speed rail, wants to rebuild our schools and education system, make wifi universal, increase green energy, repair our highways, and on and on and on all while you cons snivel and whine about none of it is infrastructure! So China is eating our ass! No shit, and which party is doing their damndest to see that it happens?!?!

There was never a single regulation, in place or removed, which mandated electricity to the pumps which pumped gas to the power plants. There is no need for a regulation to fix that. It has now been fixed. They messed up and they learned.

That may be the first time I've ever agreed with Bill Maher. He is right on the money.
