Can we please have the necessary wealth redistribution that's a requirement to fix the vast majority of problems?

No? We can watch the two most powerful men in the world talk like angry babies at each other?

Ok...

Maybe next year, if we don't boil alive

I don't think Newsome is one of the 10 most powerful men in the world. He is not a billionaire, he does not command a military with offensive capabilities (no warships, no missiles, sniper groups).

He leads a state that has the 4rth strongest economy on the globe.

So? California is huge, wonderful, and has a great economy.

I don't think of Germany as having some of the "Top 10" most powerful people in it. Germany has the 3rd largest GDP in the world.

So..? Greg Abott leads a state with a GDP the size of Canada. Kathy Hocul leads a state with a GDP the size of South Korea.

If anything Abott is strongest because he has fascist backing.

sure, but south korea and canada aren’t even in the top 5.
