Just facts, you think for yourself
Do you think that military intervention would be justified if Iran reaches weapons-grade uranium levels?
- 69% Yes, to prevent nuclear proliferation
- 31% No, diplomacy should be prioritized

| lvca... | This administration does not have the expertise, the self-control, or the moral compass to intervene militarily. Not to mention we are losing the support of our allies. We and others would be at very high risk. |
| noah... | Hey, we already gave Israel and Saudi Arabia the tech, so how is this worse? Also, I'd hate to see thousands of Americans and tens of thousands of Iranian citizens die in a losing war with Iran. |
| mcfa... | Your audience are warmonger pigs. Fuck this. |
| pena... | Every country has a right to develop weapons for deterence against superpowers bullying them. It provides checks and balances. |
| robs... | Obama & Biden were in power for 12 of the past 16 years, tried trusting Iran, and consequently have allowed Iran to be only one step away from weapons grade nuclear capability jeopardizing the safety & security of Israel, the United States and Europe. Evil & Hatred in broad view for 55 years can't be trusted. |
| mbul... | The lines have been blurred between “good” guys and “bad” guys. America used to be the standard bearer of the good guys. Now we have a president and administration so corrupt that I wouldn’t trust them any more than I trust the Iranians. The single thing that most identifies a leader as being corrupt is their willingness to hurt their own people. Trump has no qualms about destroying Americans. |
| sy_o... | Their is only one reason Iran wants a Bomb and that is to threaten and destabilize the Mid East and threaten Israel and U.S. Act Now and get rid of this horrible threat. |
| jimb... | No gain in bombing Iran uranium supply....they don't need a bomb to be dangerous. Iran can smuggle radioactive material into Israel and contaminate schools, hospitals, airports, etc render them useless for 100 yrs |
| fiel... | This country has proven again and again they will stop at nothing to support the killing of Americans, Israelis and westerners globally, so allowing them to produce a nuclear weapon would have grave consequences. All NATO countries should rally the support of the other middle eastern countries in a joint military intervention of Iran's nuclear development program. They should immediately reimplement all economic sanctions against Iran, which the Biden administration removed in what was a failed attempt to re-enter the 2015 resolution stopping Iran's development of nuclear weapons. Due to Biden's weak strategy, Iran has been allowed to sell billions of dollars of oil and has unfrozen Iranian bank assets, the proceeds of which are funding global terrorism and its domestic nuclear program. Unfortunately, military action is now the only alternative as the Iranians can not be trusted to follow the terms of a non-proliferation agreement and are now potentially months away from possessing weapons grade uranium. |
| alan... | Trump is willing to waist Ukraine Lives but is ok with the Iranians stockpiling this uranium, They would love to send us back to the middle ages, and Trump and his new military brain trust never see it coming. |
| coun... | There is NO DOUBT, Iran, once they have weapons level plutonium and can make a workable bomb, they WILL use it on Israel. So they must be stopped and talk is cheap, they need to become stopped with military force. I think Israel would take care of it themselves but if not the US should. |
| jrv1... | I’m not an aggressor but Iran with Nukes isn’t acceptable |
| hard... | Iran has the right to protect itself from Israel and USA |
| char... | Iran government is manage by extremist and/or terroristas, is necessary to stop them before we have a biggest catástrofe |
| kold... | How can we justify attacking a country for having what we have had for decades? |
| jerr... | Not sure how it would be managed given that we have torn up the agreement that we had previously - so how could anything we say be trusted. |
| sang... | Iran is doing to protect its own country. Same could be said, why the US is allowed to have nuclear weapon. Before, it was justified by saying that the US helps the world by giving aids, humanitarian support, providing asylum to those, whose lives are in danger. But it is no more, USA is no more world leader. Why should any other country be any different. We need to stop poking our nose everywhere and stop mongering war. |
| rlyn... | Is the only action that will deter and prevent a disaster given the ideology hate and aggression from them and funded by them globally. Needs to happen sooner them later. Past the point of no return given the facts. |
| walk... | I believe Iran would most definitely use as a tool or weapon against Israel first and US next |
| ymst... | Absolutely not. Given the present state of the world and the U.S.’ unpredictable course of action, no one is safe, especially Iranians. I’m more concerned about the proliferation of nuclear energy to power AI tech than Iran using nuclear weapon. |
| lora... | Diplomacy should be utilized to ensure Iran does not have a nuclear bomb. One solution is to take nuclear bombs away from Israel, Pakistan and India. Other middle east countries also have access to nuclear bombs. This is why Iran believes it should have a nuclear bomb to protect itself. |
| ther... | At this point Israel should just bomb the nuclear facilities and offer financial compensation afterwards |
| brod... | The threat of military intervention feeds Iran’s perception that it needs nuclear weapons. |
| tubi... | sanctions and/or negotiations would be better. plant ethical seeds for the next generations. alternatively, if oil is devalued, countries whove based their economy on oil will be financially crippled. these affected countries would be much more agreeable. |
| ttim... | Bomb ! |
| cgol... | Why wait Destroy it now. Turn Israel loose |
| lkre... | Iran is dangerous. Period. |
| insp... | Normal diplomacy should work, because mutual destruction has always worked. If killers know they’re going to be killed, that usually brings them around on activating the (2) brain cells they are limited by. |
| edos... | Any violation of the nuclear agreement reported by the IAEA needs to be enforced. Since the disclosure in 2002 of its clandestine nuclear program, Iran has been repeatedly found in breach of its NPT Safeguards Agreement and Subsidiary Arrangements, by conducting nuclear activities which it had not declared to the IAEA and by failing to declare the construction of nuclear facilities. Which are numerous and spread across the region. On November 21, 2024, the IAEA Board of Governors passed a resolution calling on Iran to urgently improve its cooperation with the agency and provide a comprehensive report on its nuclear activities. The resolution was proposed by the US, UK, France, and Germany. The resolution passed and is supported by nineteen member states, including the US, the UK, France and Germany. |
| joll... | Seriously. I do support sanctions against Iran. I understand that the human rights abuses and rhetoric is dangerous, and there is state sponsored terrorism. I believe that the citizens, and the children, of a country should not be victimized because of a corrupt government. Or because of a fraction of a percent of the population is criminal or commits terrorism. I also believe in the safety and security of Israeli citizens. But the IDF is actually the IOF Israeli Occupation Forces! The government and state of Israel is NOT democratic, it is an Apartheid state that perpetrates daily acts of institutionalized Terror on the Palestinians and neighboring countries. The Majority of UN nations and the ICC are in agreement on this because the facts are available and witnessed by all. If you can see through the Israeli propaganda! The US tax payer support of Israel is ridiculous. We should be cutting all military aid to Israel rather than cutting the USAID funding of much needed clean water projects. There should be sanctions against Israel just like there are sanctions against Iran. They are equally extremist! |
Which is more important to you: US energy independence or foreign policy goals?
- 51% Energy independence
- 49% Foreign policy and democracy promotion
| Comments | |
|---|---|
| cica... | Both are important and neither is exclusive. |
| atli... | The US obsession with oil is destroying the planet. Only cooperation over competition is likely to save us. |
| zack... | Energy independence isn’t that complicated. But the mess that “Biden” created will take decades to fix. |
| sang... | We need to help our neighboring countries to build a stronger economy. Then, we won't be having immigration issues. No one wants to leave their own country; they left because of dire conditions. |
| donf... | This is an ill-considered choice. The two things are not mutually exclusive. Energy independence is one of the most powerful assets to have when it comes to establishing a strong foreign policy platform (including he encouragement of democracy). |
| insp... | Energy independence, because your economy runs on energy and everything in it is priced because of energy! Duh! Democracy doesn’t win across the planet, because people will do and live the way they want. Foreign policy doesn’t work anyway because people have their own free will AND want to do it their way anyway. |
| mdul... | Energy dependence is at the heart of many of our foreign policy challenges. Additionally, Trump has shown even more than any other POTUS in history that our system of government means foreign policy is short term only, changing (even reversing) following each election. |
| hard... | We should not cripple Venezuela if we want people to stay there |
| ebr.... | With Russia (Putin) as a global threat to democracy, foreign policy should reign supreme right now. |
| lora... | Energy independence. We should not interfere in other countries politics. If the people of Venezuela want a dictator, it is their business. It is not our responsibility to fix this country. |
| walk... | If US is energy independent and reduces or eliminates debt, foreign policy will take care of itself |
| brod... | To be truly energy independent, the U.S. needs to get beyond fossil fuels. |
| cath... | He is just creating more migrants by destabilizing their economy |
| nanc... | The question was badly worded |
| jhil... | With USA being 36T in the hole why would paying into another country’s tax base be good for us? |
| mich... | this is a bad comparison. |
| tubi... | to summarize the situation with Venezuela, the US Govt was directed by their financers to destabilize Venezuela, with the goal of petrol extraction and profit for the financers. the US Govt need not directly meddle in theirs or any other govt, aside of actual human rights issues.(that werent created by the US Govt.) |
| edos... | Energy independence offers several benefits including: reduced reliance on foreign countries for energy, increased economic stability through domestic job creation, greater control over energy prices, enhanced national security, environmental protection through promotion of cleaner energy sources, and the ability to make independent foreign policy decisions without being influenced by energy market fluctuations. |

Do you think that the AI chip demand is overhyped, or will it continue skyrocketing?
- 70% It will keep growing
- 30% The hype will fade eventually
| Comments | |
|---|---|
| edos... | Key driving factors of AI growth. High CAGR: Several market research reports predict a high Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for the AI chip market, ranging from 28% to 33%. Industry drivers: The growing adoption of AI applications like machine learning, data processing, and autonomous systems across industries is the primary driver of AI chip demand. Edge computing impact: The increasing need for edge computing, where data is processed locally on devices, further fuels the demand for specialized AI chips. Data center spending: Major cloud service providers are heavily investing in AI infrastructure, leading to increased demand for AI chips in data centers. Leading players: Companies like Nvidia are at the forefront of AI chip development, experiencing substantial revenue growth due to the high demand for their AI chips. |
| tubi... | inevitably it will grow and be optimized as time goes on. |
| atli... | Imagine the chip potential if the US were to partner with China. |
| lora... | This is the way of the future. Just like computers and the internet. |
Do you think that home prices are too high, or is this just the new normal?
- 63% Too high—prices need to correct
- 37% The new normal—prices will stay elevated
| Comments | |
|---|---|
| neal... | High home prices and double interest rates. I don’t know how working class or lower can afford a mortgage these days. They’re probably not. |
| mary... | Prices rarely come down. |
| debr... | U.S. citizens cannot afford the continued high home prices, along with higher home and medical costs and medical insurance, along with higher food prices. What happened to helping Americans first? |
| cica... | The silver tsunami is coming. There will be some disruption somewhere that will start to bring prices down. |
| lora... | This is the new normal since government interfered by increasing the minimum wage, allowed illegal immigrants into the country, increased interest rates due to government overspending, increasing fuel prices due to climate change nonsense, subsidizing wind and solar power which makes materials more expensive. |
| came... | I look at houses for sale and they are way overpriced Bring down interest rates |
| mark... | I live in California! 1,000,000 is the norm around here. |
| emee... | Houses have priced themselves out. NORMAL people do not make enough money to purchase homes with the exorbitant prices and mortgage rates, not counting taxes!!! It’s outrageous. |
| andr... | This isn't a well-constructed question, as the choices answer two separate questions. The former answers the question "do you think home prices are too high?" The latter answers the question "do you think home prices will remain high?" I believe most respondents would believe both to be true – home prices are far too high, but nothing substantial will be done about it for the next several years. |
| cmar... | Part of the problem I noticed, is, that people can't or won't settle for a modest home of 800 -1200 sq ft or so like in the past. No, they gotta have 2500-3000 sq ft or even more. |
| tubi... | greedy materials and greedy labor have priced themselves out of a job. |
| hard... | We need to do something to make housing affordable |
| amri... | prices have to come down to pre-pandmic but the govt is focussed on further erosion and risk to economy is highest ever... |
| aubr... | Coupled with high mortgage rates, overall inflation/ price increases since 2020, and wages that don’t keep up. It’s impossible. |
| r_a_... | In sheer numbers (roughly 4-million unit deficit by many counts), U.S. homes are in short supply. But entry level buyers cannot get in to propel the bottom end of the market because household budgets are tapped out. Average prices are held upward by wealthy buyers spending more per unit, but that cannot sustain -- especially if tariffs or other market forces strain household budgets further. |
| patr... | High mortgage rates along with high prices keep first time home owners from entering the market. |
| edos... | There are forces that come into play when housing prices outpace personal income. Home 'equity' is a paper gain unless you realize it by selling the house. If you don't, but use the 'home ATM', all you're doing is piling up more debt that's secured on an asset that has downside risk. Ask anybody who's refinanced their house to buy a new boat or SUV in 2006/2007. In other words you're remortgaging the chickens before the eggs hatched. Of course they're also forgetting that all this debt will have to be paid back at some point, and that usually takes income, not equity. In a certain sense the housing market is a pyramid scheme that requires an influx of new buyers to maintain prices. Very simply, if you can't sell your house to buy a bigger one because the first time buyer you're trying to sell it to can't afford the down payment or the payment on the mortgage, then you can't sell your house to buy a bigger/better/nicer one and the next person in the chain can't sell his/hers. Cue the domino effect. House prices are only sustainable if people actually can afford to buy houses and if there's a massive disconnect between house prices and salaries, then house prices will fall eventually. It might just take a little longer depending on the amount of creative financing options that will eventually dry up. |
| insp... | Prices are way too high, this is due to the US dollar being sick (currently in ICU) and off of the gold standard. This is exactly what happens to paper currencies when they’re treated like toilet paper. When your money has no intrinsic value, assets are always mispriced. |
Do you live in an area that experiences extreme heat (90°F+ for long periods)?
- 54% No, I live in a cooler area
- 46% Yes, I live in a hot climate

| atli... | Another early indication that climate change is here and associated problems will accelerate without immediate action not only effecting food supplies but human health directly. |
| sall... | michigan |
| tomw... | Would like to see if there is a difference between “hot & dry” (e.g. AZ, NM, WTX, Vegas) and “hot & humid” (e.g. Gulf Coast and Caribbean). I’ve observed from attending HS reunions over the last 40 years that the classmates who lived in a “hot & humid” environment uniformly looked younger and less wrinkled/weathered than those who remained in the hot & dry Dallas area. |
| hard... | Triple digits make it impossible to grow flowers in full sun they scorch and burn |
| insp... | However, living in a hotter climate, does have a good benefit. That being sweating, a lot more, which means greater detoxification in the body in general. We are also drinking a lot more water which also greatly helps with detoxification |
| mbul... | After 15 years we finally moved out of Florida last year. The constantly expanding period of intense heat and humidity was unbearable. |

Are you worried that another global pandemic could start within the next decade?
- 81% Yes, it’s likely
- 19% No, unlikely
| Comments | |
|---|---|
| amri... | with global leaders only focused on geo-politics, power politics and rich mans economy, the climatic, health, pandemics etc are greatest risk to life in the next decade than ever before...we are loosing this war very very fast... |
| gold... | They will attempt another plandemic. It is not a natural occurrence. Who eats bats???? |
| mdul... | It's also important to note that the previous and recent efforts put into place by Trump leave the US dramatically less prepared to recognize and deal with the next inevitable pandemic. |
| tubi... | nature has a way of "culling" the herd. |
| walk... | Naturally occurring. But, yes if man made, as I believe the COVID was man made and intentionally released |
| jerr... | Speaking professionally - yes, it's very likely. |
| andr... | Most early-warning systems and agencies are being eliminated under Trump, and another mass-casualty pandemic is inevitable. |
| lora... | The government of the US and EU, UK are trying to gaslight the people to believe in another pandemic to cease control of the people and change the world order. Covid was not a pandemic, it was just a different form of the flu. However, the government gas lighted people to make the believe it was a pandemic so they could gain control of our children thru the schools and push transgenderism. |
| mbul... | The anti vax movement will kill us all! Maybe that’s hyperbole, but we can’t survive as a society if people continue to separate into different planes of reality. |
| atli... | Given the new leadership and direction of the US health department another outbreak could be disastrous. |
| erin... | One could "start", but if one does, it will definitely be manufactured just like C19. |
| csma... | If humans start it again |
| insp... | No highly unlikely, unless another Anthony Fauci is out there. So that makes it highly likely! Because there’s always another evil doctor around the corner! Because these killer bugs do not naturally exist in nature! Duh! |
| mark... | Too many countries have disease, and it's only a matter of time before it hits the US again. |
| bren... | Yea. If people keep eating bats. |
| cb10... | And, because of the ignorance of trump, we will not be prepared once again. Remember when Obama gave a comprehensive pandemic playbook to trump and trump threw it out. What a complete ass. |
| pegg... | With RFK Jr in charge of our health — we are sitting ducks for infectious diseases |
| hard... | We need to bolster NIH and CDC not cut funds |
