Nothing in what you said negates the fact that American can be better or it can be worse.

There is always a choice.

I appreciate your recognition of our humanity.

You are correct to point out that change cannot be forced without some sacrifice. Our forbearerers camped out for years in West Virginia, lived in tents in the mountains as striking coal miners, and endured gunfights and ultimately machine gun fire and bombs in the Battle of Blair Mountain.

They lost the battle.

But they scared power and within a generation reforms like the weekend and the 8 hour workday were passed into law. Thank you coal miners and the United Miners Association that supported them with union dues.

Yeah it’s a stretch. Maybe I’m wrong.

There used to be a country roughly that shape but it was politically unstable and started world war 1.

I wish I wasn’t serious. It’s not sarcasm when it’s the bald face truth.

I work every day to lay the groundwork for a general strike.

I speak to everyone I can about it.

I have convinced maybe 3 people and I have about 150 million workers left to go.

But let’s be more realistic. Maybe 30 million are already convinced. Only 120 million people left to talk to.

I’ll update you when I’ve spoken with everybody.

Tucker said Charlie told Trump not to bomb Iran the first time. He personally thought it was justified but he saw himself as the voice of young Republicans and they didn’t want another war.

Has somebody tried to convince you a that you’re trans? If so, I’m sorry. Everyone should be allowed their own journey.

Ukraine has archeological evidence of cities of 20-40 thousand people with no evidence of hierarchy or rulers.

Fixing what trump has broken will be a generational project, and nobody will be given the time required.

Humans lived for 10s of thousands of years under communism. Capitalism was invented and within a couple of centuries the human race is commiting collective suicide with falling birth rates.

80% chance the traitors in SCOTUS rule is constitutional anyway.

We thought we couldn’t do worse than Bush, but here we are. I’m not holding my breath for the future. I’m expecting 4 years of someone not a total asswipe and then we elect mecha hitler or someone somehow worse.

There is always a bigger fish.

They are car brained compared to some European cities, even if they are the most walkable large city in America.

Yeah if these tools ever get used by leftists civil war will get a whole lot more likely.

There might be an opportunity after we blow through the missiles and drones over the next few years if a debt crisis wrecks our economy.

Not holding my breath, but the future is uncertain.

Calling it now, when striking military targets fails to get surrender, we will switch to war crimes, Israel and then the US will start hitting water, food, and transportation infrastructure.

The only way to get victory from this war is genocide.

Depends on where in Europe. Dutch housing is comparatively affordable, British? Irish? It’s worse then the US.

In general, Europeans have it worse for housing than the average American.

That’s deeply unfortunate if you were planning to retire next year, but you might just have to live simply for a few years while the market recovers.

Otherwise, no big deal unless we reach Russian or Argentinian levels of collapse.

That’s possible. The East Asian demographic cliff, a US debt crisis, global soil collapse, there are plenty of imaginable scenarios.

But none of them have happened yet, unless you live in Argentina or were a Soviet citizen. The west could continue to get lucky.

US you get comparatively low cost food and housing, but you have to pay for medical care.

You win some you lose some.

Also, in the US you have to eat US food.
