Sure, but it’s not about that.

In our defense, we’re a huge country and the states are quite varied. Not so much as Europe, but that’s the nature of human settlement and expansion post locomotive travel/industrial revolution.

Our generational drain on education, health care, and quality of life by Republican politicians created the mess, but the decision by Democrats to be complicit in it, for profit, meant there was no more “right left pendulum of politics” swing because the “liberals” were a ratchet that prevented the Overton Window shift any way except Right.

Our empire has been in decline for decades due to political, governmental, and corporate malfeasance. Our representative “democracy” evaporated, mostly, by the 80’s. The vestiges continued a bit into the 90’s, but campaign finance fuckery and a captured judiciary has doomed any chance of return.

I part with this, large, interconnected systems collapse rapidly. Once the USD is no longer the reserve currency, the United States will collapse like the USSR. This is the fault of the US Baby Boomers, particularly their leadership, but they can’t grok it because that requires education and empathy. Instead of reinvesting the untold riches in infrastructure, health care, and all the other things that developed nations do. It was allowed to be pilfered and hoarded by the great dragons of our age, and the tech robber barons. Billionaires are hoarder sociopaths to a person, but it’s impossible to tax their wealth with the current system because it is thoroughly corrupted by many factors, but mostly the power that comes with extreme wealth inequality in a “capitalist” state that perpetuates the problem instead of dealing with it.

The question is, what is there to do besides leave, for a better life, and party for the next few decades until the Great Filter erases the podunk experiment that was intelligent life on planet Earth. Beats targeting 800ish billionaires for wealth repatriation, when your fellow citizens are organized enough to do it because any sense of community has been thoroughly destroyed.

Intentionally so to trigger the Great Firewall.

I agree, but they got the translation wrong. This is interesting because this is not uncommon due to the dialectical differences between Russian and Mandarin.

When you listen to the actual audio clip, you will understand that it is said “one becomes child again”. It’s a sly dig at aging brains that doesn’t translate well when done literally. The nineteen eighty nine authoritarian response and slaughter of thousands of innocent civilians in response to the tiananmen square protests and xi being a winnie the pooh knob head is hilarious you authcino bootlicker if you don’t understand the cultural idiom component.

Uyghur what? It’s already happening.

Exactly, Jeffrey Epstein had deep Mossad ties and compromised many wealthy and influential people: https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/ex-cia-agent-explains-why-epstein-may-secret-israeli-agent-why-list-will-never-released-1738842

Well, give me some links and I’ll vet your sources!

Please contribute something beneficial to the conversation, or at least interesting. Your pedantry is obnoxious.

Always going with the pro-big business candidates is what spiraled the divide out until a narcissistic rat bastard scooped up the populist vote.

Hillary was terminally unlikable. This was illustrated in polls, primaries, and a general election. The establishment DNC is trash and is not intended to counter fascism, it is funded by the same people/orgs.

It is absolutely the “lesser of two evils”, but will not be part of any true structural change, let alone the revolutionary kind that must happen to overcome the current regime.

May you find the peace online you never could in real life.

Don’t recognize clanker pronouns, that’s a bot!

Baby, don’t skirt it. Don’t skirt it. The law.

How about the Epstein Files TACO?

It’s unthinkable, as this would be the final nail in the coffin of USD being the world’s primary reserve currency, and with it the debt breaks the country and the ability to print money is instantly ended.

These are not bad things, if done thoughtfully and intelligently over time. This administration is incapable of that.

He will chicken out, but the damage is done to the faith in the US government by our allies, and in the USD.

What if he thinks that if people think he is about to die there will be fewer attempts?

"Line on chart go up!"🙃

Please start with redistricting and the flood response or power outages, whichever you are better versed in. Then work your way to childhood education/literacy rankings and healthcare outcomes. Obesity is an interesting topic because it’s so multicausal, but if you can wrap up with some callbacks that would be appreciated.

Is it profitable? My understanding was that the majority of companies are burning capital trying to figure out a way to make it profitable.

Is that wrong?

Well, the Venn Diagram of Sherlock fucking Holmes and Constable Cadets is a two ring circus.

SHITZKRIEG BABY!🙃

Don’t explain it to the AI, they’ll just use it against us.
