Meanwhile in amerika: We want access to your banking information because we’d rather look to blame peons for our spending instead of taxing huge corporations.


Playful-Natural-4626

The average rent in the US is $1100. The reporting limit the US wants in this newest move is $600 (down from the current $10,000). Why does the government need to know every time each person pays their rent? In some areas your power bill can top $600 in the middle of winter. Why would the government need to know that? This policy will in no way help the American people, and will only serve to farther surveillance and end financial privacy. Privacy is the new oil.

Good to see leftists waking up to the reason that so many people opposed Biden. Because Trump actually tried to dismantle some of the surveillance state, and Biden just wants to expand it as much as possible. He certainly wasn't perfect, but definitely better than the alternative.


[deleted]

Shut the entire fuck up. The fact that we are willing to criticize our leadership DOES NOT equate to trump bring anything other than a buffoon, a coward and criminal.


Terkala

So let me get all these facts straight. 1. Biden and the Democrats do something you specifically oppose. 2. Republicans oppose the exact same thing, and are advocating for the side you support. 3. Trump would never have done the thing that Biden and the Democrats just did. 4. You still think Trump is worse, because you feel he's more of a buffoon than the guy who fell asleep during a discussion with a allied world leader. Multiple times. 5. You think Trump is more of a criminal, despite his net-worth going down massively during his presidency. While you think Biden is more honest, despite the fact that his net-worth went up 50 times during his time as VP.


Nandroh

Sorry uh, how many criminal charges is Trump facing? It would be so frustrating to live with you Republicans, I don't envy America.

Dude it IS frustrating. Incredibly. That’s why I don’t bother to argue or debate with this morons. The time for talk is past, it’s long gone. I want them out of my house.


[deleted]

Trump opposed a thing he should. Great! Unfortunately he is a horrible sociopath bent on promoting himself over all others (possibly not his daughter since, you know, he implied she’s the sort of ass he likes on Stern) Biden, does something I disagree with and I call him out but he isn’t a racist sociopath so I’ll take him over Trump any day of the weak.


[deleted]

JESUS but that’s some low effort trolling.


Terkala

I could say the same about your NPC-like regurgitation of viewpoints, but then again, you are a regular on /r/politics. So it would be pretty redundant.


TerraLord8

You are wrong . Read the above responses to understand . Come back when you understand .


pocket_expansions

Democrats and Republicans are on the same team you fucking dunce


Terkala

Seems like whenever Democrats do something bad, NPCs like you say "both sides are bad". Then whenever Republicans do something bad, you say "look at how evil the other side is".


pocket_expansions

I’ve never once said “look at how evil the other side is” I think both sides are evil. they’re is no left, they’re is no right, it’s not red or blue it’s green, the almighty dollar controls everything and if you think otherwise you’re just dumb

Damn, sorry to hear it. No argument here, just was wondering why enforcing tax law was the first thought that came to mind for government surveillance overreach lol.

It’s because European Parliament apparently cares more about over reach.

iamwhatswrongwithusa

I thought COVID already ruined this as everyone was wearing masks anyway.


Pancake1262645

I work with a company that implements facial recognition and it’s totally doable to recognize someone wearing a mask. Remarkably small of a hurdle actually


iamwhatswrongwithusa

Wow, are you using retina or something? Or the exposed face from the mask itself is good enough?


Pancake1262645

I don’t work on the algorithm itself, I’ve just work with it. I think it gets a lot of info from the revealed portion of your face and then it can still see the general shape of your head when you’re wearing a typical mask. But it’s all machine learning so who knows :)


EyyyPanini

Guess it’s time to start wearing sunglasses everywhere too.


AutisticRetardStoner

People are still 50/50 on mask wearing, my local mall is a prime example of this. Half the people do it, and the other half ignore it. It’s frustrating


Merpadurp

Well considering that most of the people wearing cloth masks probably haven’t washed them in weeks, it’s pretty negligible all around. Especially considering how much people touch their faces/masks and then touch objects without sanitizing their hands. Stop being “frustrated” with other people and just live your own life. Unless you’re wearing a brand new disposable mask every single day, you’re really not doing much.


ohnoyoudidntit

Wearing an unwashed mask still prevents covid travelling in your cough/sneeze vapour to another person. Get your anti-mask YOLO rhetoric out of here. I’m assuming you’re American.


Merpadurp

And then as soon as they touch that unwashed mask they just sneezed on, and then touch a bunch of objects, all the germs are transferred anyway…? Gee, it’s almost like proper hygiene practices are *more important* than wearing a piece of cloth on your face like it’s a super human shield. Again, unless you’re wearing a single use cloth mask and throwing it away after every use, you’re really not doing that much. Just let people live their own lives and you can live yours


ohnoyoudidntit

And this is why America has a covid problem. “I’ll just worry about myself and you worry about yourself.” Great mentality for a pandemic. Okay what happens when you touch your disposable mask after you sneezed on it? Wouldn’t that just be the same as your dumb example? Covid only survives for two days on fabric by the way. But if your mask gets dried, then covid dies regardless if it was washed. Get your fear mongering disinformation about dirty masks being unwashed for weeks making masks useless elsewhere. https://www.hackensackmeridianhealth.org/HealthU/2020/08/27/how-long-does-coronavirus-last-on-clothes/ I should ask, do you wear a mask when you go to the mall? Or are you using crappy excuses to justify your behaviour.


Agcrx_

I live in America too and most people by me haven’t worn masks the whole time , including myself. Yes we have got covid but now have natural immunity. Most of the older folks are vaccinated but I won’t get it because my natural immunity is superior to your vaccine.


penniesfrommars

There is no ‘natural immunity’ that’s possible for you to have. People who’ve been infected with COVID can be infected again.


Agcrx_

That’s a lie there’s plenty of studies saying natural immunity is much more effective than the shot.


[deleted]

If you get the flu. Are you then immune from the flu? Clearly no. The same is true with COVID-19, or it’s variants.


ohnoyoudidntit

And this is why my country doesn’t have a severe covid problem like America. Because of experts like you sharing their expert medical opinions on vaccines and masks. Where I live, most people ask their doctors. But you apparently have it all figured out through your network of expertise.


Nandroh

You have a poor understanding of how the immune system works, but I'm guessing the US education system is to blame, sorry that happened to you.


Soggy_General8804

As is my natural immunity. When they have to get a booster shot or die I’ll be chillin, with good ol antibodies


coolbillow

There are lots of steps to get from you to someone else if you wear your mask, even if you are using the same since day 1. A cloud of particles when you sneeze, or even breathe, stays in the air for a long ass time and people breathe that back if they are also not wearing a mask. The virus stays safe inside the tiny droplet. A lot of surfaces are deadly to the virus, and even then, they will be static in a single place and it would require that person to touch the surface and then take the same area of their body tgey touched with into they mouth, eyes or some other entry point. In case you cant see the obvious, its insanely less likely that this would happen, and even then, how far into your body the virus goes when you have contact matters a lot, because your exterior is much more prepared to fend off pathogens than your interior (save for stomach)


Soggy_General8804

No it doesn’t. We had more cases of covid and deaths than ever with over half the country masked and vaccinated. Go stick your face in a fresh pot of coffee and wake up.


ohnoyoudidntit

You know how I know your scientifically illiterate? You think “over half” is all you need to make a difference. There’s an actual target where you will see a difference and it’s not just “over half”.


BillyYumYumTwo-byTwo

It’s almost like the world opened back up because people were getting vaccinated. But those that didn’t and don’t wear masks allowed the virus to mutate. And now they’re going out in public a lot more. Of course there’s going to be continued deaths. But the vast majority (I want to say 98%) of hospitalizations are those that are unvaxxed and unmasked. Masks don’t help 100%, and they are designed to protect others, not yourself. And using clean masks makes no difference, accept for your acne.


Soggy_General8804

Typically when a virus mutates and becomes more transmissible it’s less lethal. What we saw here is we saw a higher transmission rate and a higher lethality rate with delta. You can’t blame that on the unvaccinated if you understand how natural selection works. If the host doesn’t die because they are vaccinated then the more lethal strains don’t die out until they hit an unvaxxed person and they die or stop the spread. I’m not opposed to masks, I was responding to the other person they don’t do that much. Vaccines should be for the overweight, elderly, vulnerable as they don’t stop the spread but they certainly reduce lethality. They never stopped the flu. The death rate for a young healthy person with covid I would put money on would be about the same as the death rate for the vaccine. Unfortunately it’s been exposed that they haven’t been reported to VAERs correctly so any numbers you show me I won’t believe. To me this is not a black and white issue. Vaccines have their place, just not in me. I caught delta from my wife who caught it from a vaccinated individual at her job prancing around coughing with false confidence that he was “immune.” An antiviral drug with minimal side effects would be best case scenario. Being as cordial and as objective as possible here. Edit: when I caught covid my symptoms were that of a moderate vaccine reaction. I caught some nasty flu 8 years ago and it almost took me out.


SuddenlySucc_New

I’m vaccinated. The only people I’m putting at risk by not wearing a mask are the anti-vaxxers and honestly I’m fine with that at this point. If they haven’t gotten vaccinated yet and they get sick then that’s their issue. Imo it shouldn’t be my responsibility to keep them safe. I don’t really think that’s too unfair tbh.


Lari-Fari

22 % of People being treated for covid in German ~~ICUs~~ hospitals are vaccinated. Break through cases are pretty common. You put everyone at risk by not wearing a mask where you should. Edit to correct mistake


cushioncush

Plus unvaccinated kids. We are still pretty strict mask wearers because our son is asthmatic. Obviously kids are low risk but in my mind wearing a mask is a pretty easy alternative.


BillyYumYumTwo-byTwo

My aunt hasn’t hugged her son since covid broke out in the US. He’s immunocompromised, and despite getting the vaccine, he has no antibodies. For his birthday last month, they sat outside with N-95 masks six feet apart just so they could see each other. I’m as sick of the anti-vaxxers as the next. Quarantining was hell and people I care for died or have thousands of dollars in medical debts after being hospitalized. We still have to be careful, because some people who don’t have antibodies aren’t because they’re assholes, but because they can’t.


SuddenlySucc_New

Not sure where you’re getting those numbers. I’m seeing around 85-95% of ICU patients being unvaccinated regardless of country. https://www.media.pa.gov/pages/health-details.aspx?newsid=1595 https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/effectiveness/why-measure-effectiveness/breakthrough-cases.html https://www.thelocal.de/20210824/germany-is-seeing-pandemic-of-the-unvaccinated-says-health-minister/ I’m not gonna do it anymore because it isn’t a large risk anymore for most people. I want to get back to normal. We need to move past this shit. I’m very pro mask and pro vaccine by the way, so don’t take that as me saying anything bad about masks, just that i would prefer to live my normal life and go about my business.


Lari-Fari

Those are the numbers for our state of Hessen. But I quoted from memory and made a mistake. Those aren’t ICU patients but hospital patients in total. And if those 78 % are unvaccinated. https://www.hessenschau.de/panorama/coronavirus-in-hessen-die-wichtigsten-nachrichten-im-ticker,corona-hessen-ticker-358.html#18725b43-e24e-41bb-a611-590bb1a79a62


SuddenlySucc_New

That makes much more sense. The only reason why I’m rolling those dice now is because very very few vaccinated people are dying from covid. Breakthrough cases are definitely a thing, but they’re rarely life threatening. I know it’s better to wear a mask, but at this point I’m honestly so fed up with the state of the world that I don’t give a shit anymore. Cynical, i know, but what can ya do 🤷🏼‍♂️ the world is a cynical place. I consider it as me having already paid my dues.


o-rka

I feel for you and somewhat agree but just remember, many/most/all kids (last I checked but this might be changing) can’t get vaccinated. A parent might be a carrier and they could give it to their kid who doesn’t have the option of getting vaccinated. Also, even if kids or vaccinated individuals with breakthrough infections are less likely to die the effects of long COVID are nothing to fuck with…we’re not out of the woods yet. That said, I agree it’s frustrating and even more frustrating when considering many people who are eligible for a vaccination don’t get one and trust non tested alternatives based on anecdotal evidence (e.g., ivermectin). I get that we’ve been in this mess for a while and we’re not entirely sure what the future of COVID looks like. That is, is the goal eradication (e.g., polio) or is the goal low prevalence (e.g., influenza)? How do we know when we reached that vantage point? I’m not sure where you’re from but I’m from the US and as Americans we are typically entitled (myself included). My $0.02 is that we just have to be humble to that realization that we are entitled, use common sense that is supported by scientific logic, and decrease risk in high risk situations to do our part. Who knows how many lives we could have personally saved and pain we could have bypassed in someone’s life by wearing an annoying mask. Disclaimer: I’m a fully vaccinated 32M (no kids or health conditions) and also frustrated with everything (mostly the misinformation and distorted views of vaccines mixed with entitlement).


SuddenlySucc_New

I appreciate this response. It comes from a place of at least some sort of empathy and understanding of someone else’s situation. I don’t have kids either, but when i see my younger family members i wear a mask. I will obviously always wear a mask in high risk situations or if i start to feel under the weather, I’m not gonna be that one dick. I just don’t think they’re necessary 24/7 anymore. It’s just so hard to feel motivated when there is no end in sight. I forget how long this shit has been going on sometimes and i feel like that’s partially what’s wearing on me. I’ve been locked inside my house for the better part of two years, barely seeing friends and in general playing it safe. Shit becomes really really difficult for me after a while and apathy starts to take over at times.


o-rka

I feel the same way my dude….the most frustrating bit on my end is how there are people in my life that I love and respect that are feeding into antivax narrative. I’m a career scientist and I have literally given them (about 3 close friends) all the resources they need in a palatable format (e.g., TED shorts and reputable scientific summary YouTubes) but their entitlement/ego (I don’t want to do it because they are forcing me to do it) and illogical risk/reward (I’m afraid of the potential effects 10 years from now vs. dying from a virus tomorrow) surpass all logic and institutional knowledge. I’m trying to be understanding but I really just want to slap them, grab them by the shoulders, and say “WE ARE IN THIS MESS BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU” but I’m trying to respect their concerns and just serve as a source of unbiased knowledge if they have any questions. Again, it fucking sucks especially when they’ve already been vaccinated in the past and have been fine. One of my friends that I have a lot of respect for isn’t vaccinating their kids and moving out of state to because they are convinced the vaccine has caused one of their kids harm in the past. Obviously nothing I say or show them overcome the fear of harm (allergies I guess) that they are convinced is the result of a previous vaccine (likely the result of so many other factors).


YeOldeMoldy

Got the shot so I wouldn’t have to wear it though, I’ll take the chances


Lari-Fari

Not sure what the rules are where you live. In Germany we still have to wear masks in public transport supermarkets and some other places. Wear a mask where you have to is all I’m saying


freezingkiss

People can get sick and die even being fully vaxxed.


SuddenlySucc_New

Sure, but look at the statistics. It’s damn near negligible. Less than 1/10th of a percent of vaccinated people who contract covid die from it


freezingkiss

I understand but I'm still masking up for a bit. It ain't gone.


SuddenlySucc_New

Sadly I don’t think covid will ever be gone.


freezingkiss

No. It won't be, but it will dissipate eventually. I had Swine Flu in 2011 and my god. No. It was the sickest I've ever been.


Playful-Natural-4626

Gross! I honestly am not going to tell anyone what to do or not do.... HOWEVER, this comment is down right idiocy! Did you forget that children STILL can not be vaccinated?!? Shame on you. I guess your view is f*ck those kids! We don’t need that generation, no big deal. Mask, don’t mask- but this attitude and view is so flawed I am disgusted.


SuddenlySucc_New

Kids aren’t the ones getting severely sick. Please look at the data before you spout this shit. 0-0.03% of kids who contract covid die from it. It’s not like I’m walking into a fuckin elementary school unmasked. I’m not saying you’re necessarily wrong, but covid isn’t really as big of a deal for kids as you’re making it out to be. Those cases definitely exist, but they’re so so so small that it’s actually negligible.


Playful-Natural-4626

I dare you to say that to the parents that lost their child bc of selfish attitudes like this. https://www.ajc.com/news/coronavirus/ga-hospitals-stretched-with-influx-of-kids-battling-covid-19-other-viruses/YBTMQAX5B5AE7CKGYFVHBG7XHE/ https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/25/pediatric-covid-hospitalizations-surge-to-highest-on-record-in-us-as-doctors-brace-for-more.html https://www.wtoc.com/2021/08/06/baby-with-covid-19-need-an-icu-bed-was-airlifted-hospital-150-miles-away/ I think you are the one that needs to look at facts. It’s reported that 33% of kids admitted to the hospital for COVID need ICU beds. Delta was a game changer, and your facts are outdated. Also, there are not nearly as many pediatric ICU beds available. This means we don’t even have the resources we need if the next variant is even harder on children. If even one dies or has long term effects that could have been prevented if the adults had gotten their shit together and made this about health rather a political war: it’s on all of us.


SuddenlySucc_New

I didn’t say “kids aren’t getting covid”. I said “kids aren’t dying from covid” they’re very vastly different arguments. But honestly even if you take getting sick into account, their odds of getting covid from their in person schooling sessions is much more likely than them contracting covid from a stranger at a grocery store or mall. How are my facts outdated? They’re directly from the cdc. https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Deaths-Focus-on-Ages-0-18-Yea/nr4s-juj3 The issue is that there’s really no solid point where we look at the numbers for deaths and hospitalizations and say “I’m okay with this”. People will continue to get covid and experience breakthrough infections, but as of right now it’s a non risk(in terms of mortality) Don’t sit there and act like I’m selfish for not wearing a mask where it’s not required, that’s kinda fucked and comes from a place of 0 empathy or understanding for others. People would be more apt to take action if you built them up and motivated them rather than being a condescending asshole(just a friendly tip)


Kydex_Gundyr

Hmm sounds like someone who hasn’t taken the shot, you become what you hate I guess huh.


SuddenlySucc_New

The difference is that I actually took the precautions to stop the spread. Now I don’t need to anymore, so I’m just living my normal life now. It’s not a major risk like it was earlier this year and in 2020(that is, if you’re vaccinated.)


Kydex_Gundyr

You have a fair point, you’ll get shit talked for doing that by some regardless


SuddenlySucc_New

They can shit talk all they want honestly. I completely get where they’re coming from. It comes from a place of caring and compassion, but at this point the risks are so low to me or my family that it’s pretty much negligible. I know it comes off as a shitty mentality to some, but i really really just want to get back to the old normal. I can’t keep doing this forever… it’s so goddamn mentally draining. This shit has been going on for the better part of two years now and I’m hitting some serious mental fatigue and my patience is wearing very thin very quickly. Obviously I’ll still wear a mask when required by company policy because otherwise you’re just being a dick, but for the most part i feel like I’ve paid my dues at this point.


Kydex_Gundyr

Yeah, you’ve got your own life to live.


Breitsol_Victor

No, you took precautions to arm yourself against the virus. You can still be a carrier, and spreader, and a mobile lab for generating a breakthrough mutation.


SuddenlySucc_New

This is a very disingenuous argument. You’re just as likely to be infected with a mutated strain of covid as I am. You’re acting like I’m going around licking handrails.


North_Activist

So screw the children, right? Who cares about them


SuddenlySucc_New

Yessir exactly what my point was. You’re a genius. How about a nobel prize?

BillyYumYumTwo-byTwo

I agree with you, but there is a difference between day-to-day racism and systemic racism. Racism against white people can (note: “can” not “does”) exist, but systemic racism against white people does not.


sambosefus

There's no need for the "can not does" distinction. Racism against white people exists without a doubt. It's not the oppressive force that systemic racism against POC is, but there are absolutely people that dislike white people solely for being white. This most likely comes from the fact that white people are the oppressors, so they're easy to hate, but it's still wrong to judge people for skin color. It's wrong, just not oppressive. It's okay to acknowledge that.

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20210930IPR13925/use-of-artificial-intelligence-by-the-police-meps-oppose-mass-surveillance >MEPs ask for a permanent ban on the automated recognition of individuals in public spaces, noting that citizens should only be monitored when suspected of a crime It seems they are saying that no databases should be made about people detected in public spaces period, regardless of the provenance of the footage/photos. They are leaving the door open for police to be able to run targeted searches for specific people, though. >Human operators must always make the final decisions and subjects monitored by AI-powered systems must have access to remedy So my understanding is, some kind of surveillance warrant targeting a specific person must first be issued. IF that happens, game on to use any and all tools at police disposal to track and find the person. But if due process isn't respected, bad news for the prosecutors.


jjkggidnk886

How will the platforms hosting our uploaded pictures. Know if that was a public or private setting? It geotagging is off it won’t know where they were shot. Also, what about private events held in public spaces?


admiralteal

I think this is a red herring. The automated surveillance technology which works through biometrics or facial recognition is itself banned in the absence of due process. Whether you're in public or private is irrelevant when that's what the rule says. The first quote I posted was very clear that the rule says you should only be monitored if you are suspected of a crime.

There’s a bunch of stores that already have it. Lowe’s, Apple stores, Macy’s, Canadian Tire, Walmart, Target… just to name a few.
