Broken systems should be fixed or replaced, is that the type of thinking you abhor?
If you prefer living in a broken system I guess you have a lot of options available. What we have been doing in America has utterly failed humanity, sounds like your making a lot of money off a failed state and don't want your income to be threatened. I wish your type of thinking didn't exist, the world would be a much better place.
lately in conversations with people who have always openly hated the US hegemony and the "western system" (and I can myself see the many issues with that system) I see a certain glee at the current state of affairs, as if they are happy that finally the pain inflicted by "the west" on third-world countries is finally coming back to haunt the US and Europe. They don't seem to think two or three steps ahead, what is the alternative they are cheering for? A russian style oligarchy? A chinese style one party dictatorship?
I think it's just human nature that if things are horrible for you and your family you'll want things to change and if things are good you want them to keep going. The guy above obviously is having a great time so any change to the corrupt system terrifies him.
"anything but the pain I'm experiencing now is better" is a short-sighted outlook. The working class will bear the bulk of the pain from these tariffs.
Don't know about beef specifically, but I wouldn't trust food from the US because I'm sure it has in it a lot of stuff that's illegal in the EU...
Too bad that I actually like bourbons. Let's see if the retaliatory tarrifs make them more expensive than the fancy japanese whiskey bottles next to them... I've been meaning to try those.
I've talked to several Iranians, they pretty much said that that's what happened to Iran. People tore it down because they were unhappy with their current government, but they didn't have a replacement. Authoritarians with false promises filled the void and created Iran as we know it today.
Sounds like the way things are going to me and it's what a lot of people are rooting for. I think America did a really good job of compartmentalizing the rich and the poor so the rich are completely unaware of what everyone else is dealing with.
Just take it literally, the US legal system is utterly broken, as in it does not function. It's the reason we literally put black men in jail for Life over and over again for minor crimes, because we have a broken legal system, it's why in America whoever has the most money wins it's why all of our politicians are lawyers because the legal system is broken.
OP's comment sounds like a red herring to me - is it the "broken legal system" that still keeps Trump away of turning the US into a technocracy/autocracy?
Could be. There’s that software engineer that is touting the king Trump thing. I forget his name. The whole idea is ridiculous. Imagine folks that want such a thing just imagine an AOC queenship.
What? No, just literally the US legal system is utterly broken. It's the reason we literally put black men in jail for Life over and over again for minor crimes, because we have a broken legal system.
