  • You’re potentially wrong, let me explain why.

    When the US did that, there was a massive backlash.

    Becauae the people who use medicine the most are old, and the instant they saw brown doctors they wouldn’t stop ranting, demanded a different doctor, we’re sure the doctor was poisoning them or otherwise couldn’t understand English, etc.

    If they have to choose between long wait times and brown doctors I don’t know how Australia would decide.

    It was a boomer trope for a decade, and not even slightly subtle in its racism.












  • So as an engineer myself, airplanes are vastly more dangerous than nuclear power.

    Cars even more so.

    The issue is regulation, but the US has never had a nuclear accident that caused deaths in our history, and neither has France which is basically running half of Europe off its nuclear plants.

    This is fear-mongering, plain and simple.

    Russia obviously has killed many people, but they killed millions of people from not having food, they don’t consider death a risk, it’s just part of life.

    The rest of the world? Engineers are easily capable of making the craziest things safe, again, see air-travel which has more risks by orders of magnitude.

    Early planes crashed all the time, and early reactor designs were very dangerous.

    That’s why us engineers are so absolutely awesome, we don’t stop making things better.



  • The sun pumps more radiation to you then any nuclear reactor will for anyone except the guys who fucked with the demon core.

    And by your own argument, the sun kills thousands every year.

    How many have died from nuclear reactors? Not counting the russians/soviets of course, who shouldn’t be allowed to play with the rounded scissors we got in preschool.

    They are far, FAR safer than coal, which killed thousands a year, I was in China during the bad times, it was horrific.

    You’re like an evangelical who believes a thing based on no proof.
