While their aid was incredible, purchasing of weapons was always a part of it.

Yeah yeah this is more of the same bs, "not my president". I never thought that, I don't think every NK supports Kim but relations should not be normalised while he is there.

Americans love slogans and this is the perfect out, rather than actually fucking engaging and making a difference. Too busy lapping up shit and thinking of funny signs to hold up at the next stop te genocide rally.

Great, a lot of times this attitude comes from having not been elsewhere but maybe not with you. I cant personally see any great benefit.other than weather and landmarks but that is just down to size and ability to travel negates it.

I feel like we can at this stage, he was elected twice. The second time with greater support. All other branches have followed suit. The market leaders capitulate. Its great that AOC and Sanders exist but its hardly indicative of any greater shift in thenpolitical landscape...given the two party system has kept Sanders at arms length for decades and AOC has been brushed aside wherever possible.

Han? Have you links tk these?

It is an ingrained attitude seen through statements like "leaders of the freeworld", "the great american experiment", "the most powerful person in the world (potus)", etc.

Americans have too much pride in a shithole country. There just isnt much justifiable pride to be found in modern america yet the leading party over every part of government maintains this greatest countrt ever bs.

I know

My comments werent to say the two were directly related, just that there are still instances of public murder in the US. I'm not at all full of hate, I just think the US is ridiculous with their passionate platitudes ( "This isnt Us") and then they elect nazis (it absolutely is ye) and still manage to feel superior.

The american exceptionalism has walked the population off a cliff because everyone was all too happy to be told how great they are instead of keeping up with global progress. See the below for a no exhaustive list:

infant mortality

Maternity leave

Employment rights

Incarcerated civilians

Incarcerated non civilians

National debt

Average lifespan

Number of billionaires

Number of homeless

...

The variety of available text books, reviewed for use by educators vs autocratic loving tech bros pushing black box solutions to the masses.

Just off thebtopnofnmy head.

A sense of entitlement and superiority I would imagine.

Good on you. The US has fallen, divesting is the right path now. Though I cant say there isnt a part of me that is happy to profit from their shit system, but then I remember their people are not their government and its the people companies like this hurt.

You can find firms that create tailored ethical funds. Depending on the criteria it could rlate to emissions, DEI, civil rights etc. They are not hard to find and I have had success with them.

Brilliant, its a shame what is lost to claimed protections by rights holders. Great to see this.

Things have not gotten better, seriously? Weird, I don't see KKK members hanging people from trees anymore...

Yeah...they just shoot up schools or use no knock warrants on the wrong house. Kill lads for carrying skittles or being out for a run. Sorry, the metbod has changed, that much is true.

Why isn't everyone just stopping work? You must have a great life, because a lot of people live pay check to pay check and are just trying to survive. Protesting by not working could make them miss rent and be on the street. Do you seriously not understand that concept?

Yeah I have a good life, precisely because we as a work force are engaged and act as one. We also have a non shithole country where you cant just be kicked out of your home, even if its for missing rent.

The country was basically split on the vote and there was only 2 real options. What would you have suggested people did when it came time to vote? Throw their hands up and quit

Be engaged and demand progressive politicians, not goplite. A third of america didnt even vote. Sppit down the middle with nazis, bleh and meh.

They should hold their resellers to a standard. It isnt entirely their fault but they should have QA working on how people receive their products.

Infrastructure should be public, with regulated access for wholesale and retail. It works. The grid operator needs to make money for large scale projects like interconnectors, modernising, maintenance and build.

They generally go into limp mode if they cannot report on you.

There are no high end middle class cars now. Used be if you got an audi, merc, beamer etc. You were part of an in group where youngot extras. Now you spend 80K and they want you to subscribe for cruise control and AC. Lambourghini and porsche dropped back to entrr the market and only brought their badge.

What app? Isnt just browser bsed?

Its only for current members, I cant play games I bought online. I got a PS+ game, stopped my sub, paid for the game and couldnt play.
