Removing the crisis-in-chief from office would go a long way towards solving all the others.
Of course, I also know he's only a symptom, and people will vote another crazy fascist in next time they have the chance, because whatever problems caused them to vote stupid twice haven't disappeared. But short term, it would to the world a world of good.
Trump really is trying his hardest to antagonize all US allies without exceptions. Even the sketchiest allies. Soon the US will find itself totally isolated on the world stage.
I try to learn the following sentences in the language of a country I go to if I don't know anything at all about that language:
Hello, as polite as possible
Goodbye, as polite as possible
A beer please
I'm sorry I don't speak
<language>
: do you speak English?
I find this quite enough to strike up a conversation in most of the world. When people don't automatically switch to English - perhaps because they don't know it well enough - then I try another "universal" language like Spanish or French (universal mostly because of past colonialism, sadly). That implies speaking those languages of course.
If the locals won't speak English because of a prejudice against English (mostly French-speaking regions) I don't even bother with the "I'm sorry..." bit. I just let them figure out by themselves that conversation is going to be difficult.
If the locals are anti-Americans - very common, and getting more and more common - I affect a British accent. I wouldn't fool a Brit for a New York minute but I'm convincing enough for a non-native English speaker to avoid being associated with the US.
God I hate politics-by-Twitter. I'm appalled that the US is turning into a fascist country, but I'm even more appalled by how pathetic, puerile and trashy the US' new fascist overlords are. At least Hitler dressed in Hugo Boss and made speeches that enthralled people: MAGA dresses like tramps, Steve Bannon-stylee and bullies other countries like kids on the playground.
I really wish they do. I guarantee you people who can't pay for food or rent because they didn't get their check will exact violence on those responsible.
Tell me anything of value that crypto has brought about...
Crypto has been around for 17 years and all I see is:
Senseless energy expenditure and damage to the environment mining proof of work coins
Electricity prices going up for ordinary folks trying to use it to do something useful with it in areas where mining operations use it all
GPU shortages and price hikes
People who don't understand crypto losing their shirt on it
People who do understand crypto sitting on it and waiting for the value to go up thanks to the suckers above, contributing nothing of value to the economy
People who understand crypto and actively use to scam the suckers above.
I have NEVER heard anything good come out of crypto for the economy as a whole.
Does it have the potential to be a game changer and a force for good? Yeah.
Has it been used as a force of good? No.
