>having no real shot at success in America other than selling his body.

Selling his body? Are you serious?

He wouldn't have been able to become a cop, a nurse, a clerk, a financial professional or any of the other thousands of professions that black people in the midwest find themselves in?

LeBron's struggles seem less part of his success story and more part of a self-penned "rags to riches" legend.

>I sincerely doubt they would be using public ADS-B ported to a Twitter account to track you around.

Why not, when it's convenient? It's probably not impossible to get a Stinger missile or similar from one of the current war theaters or black markets.

>From a european perspective, GPT is right at the center of the political spectrum.

From a European perspective many talking points and political efforts of the Democratic party are certainly extremely left-wing. In fact, many of the European left-wing parties crudely import talking points on internal US issues, like for instance Black Lives Matter. Also, why would a "slightly rightwing party" push for anti-white CRT in schools, sex transitioning of children, abortions and mass immigration?

>i do wonder how easy/hard it really is to reverse engineer a vaccine

I think it's easier to gain this information via hacking and data theft or paying insiders for documents than actually reversing the vaccine.

You'd think that with China's cavalier attitude towards intellectual property and trade secrets they would just copy one of the more effective mRNA vaccines and distribute it under the current Sinovax label.

>I hope you don't mean racial homogeneity, because that would be a load of _equine excrement_

I'd argue that Mumbai/India or Lagos/Nigeria are overwhelmingly racially homogeneous. So there must be some additional factor beyond racial homogeneity.

Any examples for this statement?

>NYC and Tokyo, well there’s many factors involved.

And the most obvious one is demographic composition.
