I guess other countries won't need to defend themselves against the US in the future because Trump is actively trying to kill off more Americans than any other country could.

Yeah that is part of the reason non-Americans are not visiting the US. We assume that what we have said has been recorded and flagged at some point.

We all know that with boyfriends like that, if one his friends did get her, he'd be calling her names and forgiving his friend.

Why do they think they should be protected from the type of havoc they are inflicting on other working people?

I'd agree that it peaked a long time ago. I joined in 2008 or so because my teenage sons had joined. We didn't know each other's IDs, I wanted to know what they were interested in and found a couple communities I liked for myself. Every year it got less inclusive and the toxicity that was contained to some communities started to spill over. I had already left when the corporatization started in earnest.

Republicans / Conservatives have always told their members that they are better stewards of finances and yet for the last 40-50 years they have been the ones to drive up the debt and run annual deficits while handing ever increasing amounts of money to the 1%. How they keep convincing their members that it is the left who are the problem, is a remarkable study in propaganda.

Very little. I've always wanted to be paid for the work I do so I have always paid others for the work they have done for me. If I couldn't afford to pay for it, I didn't steal it instead.

Another reason not to buy American produce.

Last time housing prices crashed in the USA, people's incomes crashed as well or their mortgage obtaining ability did. All it meant was that the already rich and corporations were able to buy up real estate cheap. Did not remotely help 90% of the population.

Yep. For some reason I've never tired of that song. Others I would hate hearing 1/100th as much but not it.

Not all immigration is bad. Not all foreign workers are bad. However when companies/employers are allowed to freely manipulate the system so that Canadians cannot get the jobs or the training and 'scholarships' and apprenticeships are for women, indigenous, and immigrants first, then Canadians who are excluded will be resentful. There was a news report yesterday of someone trying to raise money to keep an unqualified student in Canada, all expenses paid, because that young person had "potential". So do many other young Canadians and yet no one is trying to sponsor them if their parents cannot afford to send them to post secondary training. When a Canadian needs a trade certificate to do a job but a TFW can use the fake certificate his friend created for him, it isn't a equal employment field.

When has he ever had the pretense of ethics?

Except Trump has finally made every other country in the world question why we don't just cut the rope. I think the rope will be cut if Trump continues to stay in office.

Yep. I had one who would never stray far and didn't want to cross the road without my say so until they were about 10. The other as soon as they were able to walk/run would high tail it to the nearest roadway the second your gaze wavered. Trying to convince my MIL that we weren't abusive but just trying to keep our child alive until they knew better and could be reasoned with, was an ordeal. And holding their hand wasn't much of an option because they would pull hard enough to dislocate their elbow. They also hated strollers or backpacks so that was not a viable option.

Why would an international student want come to the US when they could be deported or imprisoned any day? Or if they leave the country for a trip might not be allowed back in to finish their degree?

Bezos isn't any better, just quieter than Musk.

That must have been a US thing. A&W in Canada has had excellent Teen burgers for decades.

Can attest. Just visited Norway and although I wanted to eat authentic Norwegian cuisine, pizza was everywhere. Easier to find than seafood and I was staying in a port city.

Florida is already making it normal for children to be the future workforce.

If he understood anything about his electorate, he would know that it would be a choice of 1 meal a day instead of 3, if the rent is still paid.
