WUT? Why?
Trump was inevitable and is a product of silly, gullible Americans blown about by political winds without a compass or direction. Americans don't vote with the long term in mind. For the most part, their future lies within 4 year increments, never really grasping the fact that legislation passed today will be with us for generations if not longer. All you have to do is look at Cannabis laws in this country perpetuated by rich, white, racist, capitalist from 100 years ago.
As someone who has been promised flying cars for 71 years, I don't think I want the average motorist flying about all willy nilly. We can't even handle the tarmac ffs....and you want flying cars? World peace? The world doesn't want peace. There is too much to be had in conflict.
Biden had handlers, who probably were more in the Gen X - Millennial range and they were making the policies that were benefitting the younger generations.
Trump is a narcissistic individual. He's part of the silent generation, everything he's done is to only better the people he sees as younger than his generation which is boomers. It's how its always worked it's like tv and the last generation always creating media for the current one.
That's why I say we need a Gen X in office but they're too petty for politics, that's why we're stuck with the old farts in office because young people aren't interested into getting into office.
It's like Japan and it's aging population, who's gonna take over when the old people are gone?
Japan is creating robots for the population replacement due to birth rates plummeting. So who's gonna run the US government when the old people are gone? Robots or the next generation?
Biden...the man who contributed a ton of content to the Patriot Act. The man who said: 'If Israel didn't exist, we'd have to invent it.' What's he saying? He's saying that Israel, along with other entities world wide, serve America's own selfish self interests. I wouldn't be holding him up as some level of superiority.
I've long said we need a age cap. Get some new blood in there. They sure as shit can't screw it up more than it is. But we've turned voting for the president of the United states into a World Wide Wrestling Federation event replete with all the glitz, glamor, and all the fakery you can stomach.
There's a reason replacement babies are scarce, and it's something I wrestled with as a young man back in the 60s. I looked around and thought, there's no way I'm going to bring another life into this mess. So I opted out.
I said his handlers.
Exactly. We can't have people over the age of 70 but under the age of 40 running this country. That's just how it should be.
Ever raise cats? They're work!!!!
It was really never the work involved in raising a child. It was what I would be raising a child in. At the time Bay of Pigs, Cuban Missile Crisis, the very real threat of global thermonuclear detonation, Nam, the violence and civil unrest of the 60s into the 70s and 80s, to name a few. It has done nothing but escalate.
WUT? Why?
Monetization is the root of a majority of our issues. Without monetizing you don't get data scarcity, profile tracking, Meta, Cambridge analyticals and eventually data that feeds into the current political systems. There is a direct arrow to our current problems that goes from early days of the internet up through the monetization into data scarcity, data collection and all the marketing tools that eventually feed into modern propaganda. Safe guarding against scarcity by creating a hostile internet and culture to monetization would have prevented all of this going on currently. We can't ever go back to that. We only ever had one chance. New frontiers do not show up every century. Our job was to keep the people who ruined everything else away.
That die was cast long before the internet.
