Why can't science change a thing when it comes to national policies? Like immigration, energy policy, guns in society or police?

How do we ignore the issues? Do we need these prisons? Is an open borders policy safer? What about the carbon emissions and the traffic?
How does science fail to help anyone in America change course?

The government and politicians don't want to fix certain issues or perceived issues because they make money propagating them and get money to stop them. Rememember when the WallStreetBets Reddit crashed wallstreet? Billionaires and millionaires lost money and these redditors became rich. The government stopped it so freaking quickly. But climate change? Oh that's just impossible to fix no matter how much money they get. Same with racism. Virtue-signalling about these issues gets you votes.

No, I don't, because [b][i]it never happened[/i][/b]. But it's nice story that those without a clue are fond of telling.

What happened is that a single hedge fund lost money, and another hedge fund bailed it out. However, a bunch of people did lose money. Those are the suckers who jumped in, to try to take advantage of the Pyramid play. I have no sympathy for these people.

@Northwest It did, you're uneducated. Wallstreet does this constantly, but when it's done to them oh it's just unacceptable

You saying so, does it make it true. It was a SINGLE hedge fund.

Done to them? You have no clue dude, and that's the real sad part. The hedge fund that was most affected is now back in business. The people who got really hurt, are the small timers who bought into the pyramid scheme.

No you're simply name calling, not offering proof of your theories. Not good dude.
