That’s because this news site is owned by a multinational company, which owns several other publications. They sell advertising and not reform

6, maybe 7 people could?

His foundation has invested in it per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_(web_browser)

I think the government is too unhealthy for these strategies. The rate of government corruption in Texas as well as failures in Federal protections seems to be accelerating. What may have worked last year might not work later.

It will sink a couple of more percentage points if he detonates a nuke , or gas prices climb.

But it will not go lower

Obama was the perfect transitional president in office during the shifts of power going on in the USA.

While many rightly say the USA has always been a cesspool, it was fundamentally changing due to the global economy changing. He was very careful to not interfere, while he projected a sense of Camelot and calm.

Basically he was fiddling while Rome burned and that worked out well for him.

I hope somebody on board the disabled ship understood the barbarian’s language well enough to vacate the engine room.

I’m making a general observation, directed to no one and everyone in the USA at the same time, including myself, that the concept of collective guilt does apply to aggressor countries.

There is always something that was not done. Even if the lack of action for the individual was trivial, minor, laughable even. If the reader thinks they are exempt, I invite them to read more history.

My particular crime was staying silent about votes not being accurately counted in my state (Texas).

My background as a computer programmer, who contributed to large systems similar to the software used, rang alarm bells inside me for years.
Particularly after exit polls were diverging worse from the norm. And I had questions and insights that were helpful.

But I understood the issue as an impossible conversation to have except among friends and fellow believers, so I simply stopped participating in the Democratic Party because of it 10 years ago, well before it became unfashionable to critique the voting systems.

I had little influence, so anything I could have said would have little, if any, impact. But when one thinks how many other people who have a background in large systems also were silent … one gets the picture, I hope.

There is no way people can be asked about confidence without explaining which goals; and once those multiple, contradictory and insane goals are fully explained it would invalidate the poll.

My opinion of a liberal is one who thinks change can happen by hoping a central authority figure will fix it.

Some liberals think no change is needed as long as authority is followed.

The key idea is that both types are authoritarians, and need to follow rules and orders

Hah I learned c++ in the 90s and never felt shame for messing up an allocation.

I think when this happens, I have a puddle of memory, the spilled ram “lubricates” the pointers, which often rub against each other. The wasted memory acts like oil does to a rusted chain. It’s helping push the program through the finish line.

Yes, I am having fun here

The world is strange and people are clever, keeping secrets about their research projects. On top of that there are a lot of unexplained and even unknown natural phenomena. The galaxy is vast.

None of that will be clarified by this government

Most people who read and write the comments here are frustrated because there is no known mechanism to have large scale change in the USA. Only minor victories that are easily lost to time.

Later, after the democrats have control over the senate again ( and it will happen in this managed puppet show in government), Israel will get its stuff, just like in the last dozen + democratic controlled senates within the previous 70 years

I am worried about food in the countryside too, if anything breaks down too far. Most rural people in the USA have lost the skills to grow their own food. And most farms in the USA ( that are not owned by companies) are now owned by families that inherited them, and they don’t have as much knowledge as their grandparents, and would have difficulties .

So, yea, food insecurity if many parts of those very convoluted supply chains have trouble

The global economy is new, so much has changed

4 generations ago most of the food that people ate grew within 20 miles, now a good chuck of my food is grown on four continents in dozens of countries.

This and every single thing in my house and car has supply lines stretching over a million miles when the travel of every single item, and their materials are added up. Literally, tens of millions of people helped make my items

Banking is literally hundreds or thousands of times more complex than in my grandfather’s time.

And my entire career is based on technology and infrastructure I read only hints about in science fiction books as a kid.

Not op, and as far from an economist as possible. But I think there has never been a situation like this, ever, in the entire human race.

I have no clue what will happen but I deeply feel most will have wrong predictions

Japan only attacked the USA in 1941 because of an oil embargo by the USA

This video is probably the start of a very disturbing trend. Given most of the administration’s previous crimes with children and women, they can and will keep pushing the envelope to include what they personally enjoy

200 million dollars

Almost an hours worth of graft and bribes paid to the trump admin and their business partners
