Ok, commercials on no add streaming services are akin to renting a beach house all for your fam but the landlord shows up and takes a giant dump in the only bathroom available
Those were willfully ignorant and they will remain so until they hurt bad or die, no amoubt of information will change that
Because the USA is full of people who are oblivious, apathetic or chicken hawks
So you are saying we better not wait standing up?
if the unions decide to do something... so far they have just been docile like lambs
Americans voted for this (or didn't bother to vote to avoid it)
hmmm this was clear as day before the election... so a more accurate headline would be "the majority of people who voted, voted for Elon... the majority of the rest couldn't be bothered"
Putting that aside, I am holding predictions until the Feb 05 marches and I am willing to give the dormant populous of the USA a couple more weeks to go on a general strike and stop this madness... but it increasingly seems the people in the USA are now too numb, too busy, too stressed out, too ignorant to realize they are sheep being taken to the slaughter house
The finding out part always suck
I love Oracle buying tik tok because they always seem to destroy everything they buy
Yes, I know how kids act... the point is that he is cutting the USA's nose to spite its face... so not sure how is that any "win" for the USA...
When was Mexico refusing to be at the table? There is an open relationship and trade agreements in place already... if Trump wanted to talk to Mexico about anything he could have done so with zero barriers
In the meantime, you can rest assured that to "bring Mexico" to the imaginary table they were not in, he torpedoed 100% of trust anyone in the world could possibly have about any contract or agreement with the USA
The exact same reason, regular folks with zero chance to ever be rich in the USA, defend inheritance tax like their lives depends on them... the are ignorant and/or think they are just about to "get there" and don't want to limits to apply to themselves
so where did I oversimplify exactly? he can do whatever he wants, there is a small chance he may be stopped (don't know by whom, he controls all branches of gov and the courts)
Which translates to "Trump can do whatever he wants... if there happen to be consequences, they'll be paid by the tax payers"
There is some apathy, sure, but most isn’t apathy–it’s learned helplessness. No matter what they do, nothing changes.
show me what they did and we can start discussing liability here
You mean the people who chose him, knowing full well he'd do this?... oh no!
I suppose that’s a fair point. It comes down to perception I guess. Maybe it’s best described as “some” Americans chose this
How about: "Most Americans who bother voting, chose this. The majority of the rest couldn't be bothered trying to vote knowing full well it would result in a trump presidency anyway"
Accurate enough?
As if Americans didn't hand the White House to Republicans every few years knowing full well they are the party of gerrymandering, vote suppression and racism
You cannot now pretend they are victims of happenstance
Through ignorance, bigotry and mostly apathy, Americans as a whole, chose this
