That totally sucks of me, so I will do better to be more disciplined and I have determined I will work to bring content every day! This is it, last weekend of US Shitshow 2016, and I have to say, the crazy is getting worse. Once again, the problem is you all don&#8217;t vote (I know many of my friends do, but I&#8217;m talking in general, we&#8217;re looking at a 50-55% voter turnout, ridiculous!) So what up now?<br \/>\nWell, I&#8217;m not holding back on stupid people posting stupid things anymore. Let&#8217;s face it, I&#8217;ve never been particularly kind to people who are willfully ignorant, but sometimes I hold back, if it&#8217;s on a friend&#8217;s post on bookfaces or something. But we can&#8217;t afford to do that anymore. Drumpf is literally stupid. He&#8217;s done worse with his gifted wealth from his daddy than Parris Hilton has. Let&#8217;s think about that for a minute. Parris Hilton, completely useless human being, has done more with the money her parents gave her, than Donald Drumpf, so-called successful businessman, yet actually just another completely useless human being.<br \/>\nHere&#8217;s a man who has been caught exploiting undocumented workers in his real-estate ventures, and CLAIMS hewill deport the undocumented workers he relies on for his profit margins. Why do I know this is a lie? Why do I know he won&#8217;t deport them? First, it&#8217;s literally, physically impossible. Secondly, he knows where his bread is buttered. He simply wants to make sure they gain no legal status so he can continue to exploit their horrible situation for his own profit, and the profit of his friends. They make more being exploited here than they would make being exploited in their home countries, this is true. But they are still being exploited, working 2-3-4 jobs just to afford to live and send a little to family back in their home country to make their lives better (Seriously, go talk to some of these people and learn their stories, it will tear your heart into pieces if you have one). It&#8217;s completely crazy what we do to this world.<br \/>\nBut people like Drumpf know they can get you to blame these people, by telling outrageous stories about welfare fraud and shit like that, which when you actually look into it, welfare in total is such an amazingly small part of the federal budget, it&#8217;s literally cents on the dollar of what you pay in taxes, one of the only things we spend less on is science. I&#8217;m just so done with the whole thing. Not the politicians, the people. We can have different opinions, but we can&#8217;t have different facts, we can&#8217;t have different realities.<\/p>\n<p>Facts have a &#8220;liberal bias&#8221;. Thing change, they evolve, power structures oppress, entropy happens, evolution is real, so is man-made climate change. These are actual, provable facts, to the best of our knowledge. If we&#8217;re no all accepting facts , we cannot move forward. Why not? Because if you see arguing from a different idea of reality, which does not exist, then you can&#8217;t meet in the middle, because there is no middle. You are on a parallel line, not the same plane. There is a simple way to find the middle ground, accept science. End of statement. Sometimes science gets it wrong, for a brief time. It happens, we are imperfect beings in an imperfect world. But in general, we find we can trust science. Plus science requires that we always keep our minds open to mew information changing the old ideas, and even proving wrong the old knowledge, but it requires proof. And that&#8217;s the trick, we have a situation now where half the people require no proof and half of them insist the proof isn&#8217;t real! We need to stop this, I feel like I need to think of a way to make this stop. I hope one day I can.<\/p>\n<iframe allow=\"autoplay\" class=\"youtube_embed_iframe\"    allowFullScreen=\"true\" style=\"width:640px; height:385px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OzT26P4IUqk?autoplay=0&theme=dark&loop=0&fs=1&showinfo=1&modestbranding=0&iv_load_policy=1&color=red&autohide=1&disablekb=0&enablejsapi=1&version=3\"><\/iframe>\n<p>Have fun, keep running, and remember; if Gil can run then so can you!<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-1203\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=1203&amp;share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-1203\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=1203&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-reddit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-reddit sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=1203&amp;share=reddit\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Reddit\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"sharing-hidden\"><div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;\"><ul><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=1203&amp;share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-1203\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=1203&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=1203\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to print (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=1203&amp;share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><li class=\"share-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-linkedin-1203\" class=\"share-linkedin sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=1203&amp;share=linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on LinkedIn\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been skipping quality content in the form of inane rants on non-running days for a while now.
