fat basically
Is this like some sort of soy bullshit?
Gaslighting?
Random question but are any Americans being more careless with loans? It kind of seems like the US is on a crash course with an iceberg and I admit I’d feel a bit more at ease with debt in that situation than normally
Try all your typical college grads.
The delusion that their party will someday fix it
Visibly queer minority here! I’m probably gonna go to jail sometime in the next year for being trans in public. Until I do though, I’ve been lobbying state congress about some of the bills on the docket.
Please reach out if things get desperate, I probably can’t help but sure as shit would try.
Stupid snake, what would you do with a boot?
Everyone is mad and everyone can’t agree why were mad so now were more mad.
It gets said over and over but the country is huge and your experience can vary greatly. If you are a govt employee work is likely more chaotic, some more than others. Telework people coming back to the office, looming layoffs, people resigning/staying, big organizational shifts etc.
If you know a person deported of who may be deported you probably are concerned for them and the world feels turned upside down.
But for most people the gas prices are about the same, groceries are about the same and their life is about the same. If it wasn’t for the news/internet most people probably couldn’t tell the difference between administrations so far. It takes a big event you can’t easily ignore (Covid 19, Hurricane Helene, LA fires) for even ONE REGION of the country to focus on a problem for a while.
And even then if you are outside of that area people probably won’t change their routine beyond posting about it.
But conditions everywhere are bad. Just because we’ve grown use to it doesn’t mean the constant drain on your heart, body, and mind has gone away. I’ve never lived in a time where the world around me wasn’t eriely cold and uncaring.
I guess it’s storytime! The rural area I grew up in was full of unionized industry jobs that shut down in the 80s, and then the auto industry followed in the 2000s. Many moved and for those that stayed life had sucked for a long while.
But the local mall stayed relevant (there’s not a whole lot else to do) and is now being filled with all kinds of new restauraunts and stores where old dead ones were. This was to meet demand since electric vehicle factories were built as well as amazon warehouses and other stuff. Then the taxes led to libraries and schools being built and upgraded.
Now it’s not all sunshine and rainbows of course but for the people there the world seemed cold and uncaring for decades. Now in their eyes it’s starting to come back and the federal government had little to do with it. I guess what I’m saying is that it’s all pretty subjective
“electric vehicles factories were built” “the government had nothing to do with it.”
These people deserve trump, Amazon, and poverty if they can’t see the connection between the inflation reduction act and electric vehicle factories.
That’s the only good thing about democracy. You generally get the government you deserve.
The inflation reduction act was in 2022, everything but amazon was built and operational prior but I get what you mean. I should have phrased it better.
Yes the federal govt likely had some role in getting favorable conditons for factories to be built. For people living there the following years (and years) of company cash flow caused a lot of the actual second and third order effects, not federal programs aimed at the region specifically. That is what I mean by “the fed govt had little to do with it (from the residents’ pov)”
Thank you for the clarification.
own the libs is more important than progress
Ignorance and apathy.
I AM mad. So are my close friends and family
The chance at taking freedom and everything from others first.
You’d think with that username…
Americans ARE mad, but the moderates and liberals have been on a decades-long crusade against gun ownership and now they dont know what to do because they aren’t armed, and when you tell them to arm up and march they start whining sone bullshit about MLK and Ghandi even though one was shot and the other never did anything of use.
9/11 happened because they’d been told all their life to stay in their seats and let authorities handle hijackings. Despite all the chest-pounding and fist-pumping, Americans are weak, lily-livered pussy-assed losers and will absolutely be destroyed by inaction exactly like Biden’s legacy will be.
Now watch as some snide little pencilneck will respond with some “you first, chief!” shitbaggerie. It has happened every other time I said this…
And, if you think we could fight and win against the US govt and all of its current supporters, you are grossly mistaken.
Explain exactly how you think that works?..because they literally LOST to rice farmers and goatherds.
Busy with day to day affairs, gotta pay rent/mortgage/medical bills, gotta feed the family, gotta keep working, can’t take risks, …
People only revolt when they can no longer do those things. Literal starvation is often the cause of revolution in history. Let’s face it America is not there. Yes life is becoming a crushing grind. Yes we have statistics from policy institutes about food insecurity blah blah. But America is not fucking starving. If a few are, they do not have the strength to overpower the many others who still have something left to lose.
That sounds like it should make you mad
It does, but I’m busy with day to day affairs, gotta pay rent/mortgage/medical bills, gotta feed the family, gotta keep working, can’t take risks, …
