      What you proposed is straight up eugenics. To you, letting babies die preventable deaths because their parents are idiots isn’t a problem, it’s a solution to idiots.

        Again; I’m open to better options. IDK if you’re american or not, but I am. I live in the american south. I deal with these people on a daily basis. They’re not worth tolerating. It’s not lost on me that their children are innocent, but I’m open to suggestions on how to convince them that giving up some of their personal freedom for the greater good is the best path forward, because the vast majority wouldn’t even put on a mask during COVID to help others. They’ll happily let their kids die to preserve their idea of ‘freedom’. How do propose getting them to voluntarily help their children?

          Good thing they aren’t the final arbiter of truth, the all knowing, omniscient, all powerful enforcer of that which is true and just. But you aren’t either, so its good that you also don’t have that power.

            Lol, the truth. Why don’t we just tell them that what they believe isn’t true, I’m sure they’ll come to their senses after hearing that 🤣 I don’t remember claiming to be anything other than someone still waiting on folks to reply with what should be done since they’re real chatty about what they think shouldn’t be.

          Simple, you don’t convince them. You give them no choice and impose penalties for not doing it.

              No, I’m American. I didn’t say it was a likely thing to happen, just that it’s a simple fix.

                Fair enough. I guess I was just responding within the confines of reality. But there’s no harm in dreaming I guess
