I know it's probably not you. But I don't understand how people can even step over 2. Who wants a president that lies more often than speaks the truth? Even if you think the lies are harmless, how would you ever trust such president? The reasoning doesn't add up, because I don't think reasoning was involved. Voting for far right is usually an emotional choice, not a logical one.

Because it is simply not true

Everyone has skills that can benefit a country, you just haven't found yours yet I guess.

It's not always immediately obvious to what end you can use a new innovation. For instance, the Romans discovered and built a steam engine. But nobody connected the dots that it could be used to power a train.

To me, it showcases the main reason why we need to collaborate. Only together, we can exponentially increase the potential of everything we build.

NASCAR is nice comparison though, driving around in circles, chasing their own tail

I'm on Kraken since 2017, hadn't had an issue since. Even with larger deposits/withdrawals.

Is it possible they are both just very very bad?

Wasn't it the same guy that congratulated Elon Musk for his involvement in getting him elected? I don't know, must be fluke.

Like the scene in Andor. That series was very on point when it comes to the political landscape in the US today.

How long before that changes?

If people want more context for this: the place is named Baarle-Hertog, it's a small enclave like town located in The Netherlands, but is Belgian soil. These days, it's probably most famous just before New Years Eve, as Dutch people buy fireworks in Baarle-Hertog, as the fireworks sold in Belgium are illegal in The Netherlands.
