Sorry Rose, the US is a meritocracy now, and the only ones with any merit are white male republicans.

Yes, but you'll have to pay for the shower. Otherwise it's too much like getting something for free and that's commie bullshit.

I honestly couldn't give a shit about Biden's mental state when he was in office, because he didn't try to control everything himself. He put qualified people into the right positions and let them do their work, and the US had the most effective government it's seen in decades.

The president should be a figurehead and a facilitator, and let career bureaucrats do what they do, and Biden did that well.

But he keeps getting away with it. And as long as he does, he'll keep getting worse.

It wasn't a nazi salute, he was just waving

Well, why don't the 250 million Americans who didn't vote for trump just also move to Canada???

We're in end-stage capitalism now, not even the longevity of a business matters next to shareholder profits.

I don't know what it's like in the states, but here in Australia taxis just can't compete because of the massive licensing fees they have to pay to cover taxi zones and such. I'm not pro or anti taxi or uber, but there are loads of stories here of people who have paid well into 6 figures for taxi licenses right before uber came along and blew them out of the water. I do feel bad for them.

For a while now I've been pushing to abandon the term late stage capitalism in favor of this. I think trump's swearing in for his second term really established that we're in the end game now.

Is it though?

Don't worry, if the US ever gets a real president again I doubt they'll set foot on this middle finger to the country.

Speaking of wasted bytes...
