The economy was/is abysmal for the average American. School is unaffordable, housing is unaffordable, and food is becoming increasingly unaffordable.
When they were saying the economy was good, they were saying stocks were up. Which mostly benefits the wealthiest.
I bet Trump will use this as an excuse to leave NATO either way. He's been wanting to for a while
I still swallowed my pride and voted for her anyway, but I've never been so insulted as when I heard the "greatest economy ever" line over and over.
Don't take all the blame from the US. We didn't have to be Israel's bitch
I'd hope so. I'd imagine at least 100 people are giving a dollar
Toyota is top tier for making cars that last.
My 2007 is still running strong. It sounds like it will die at any time, but it keeps holding on. At this point I've been waiting for it to die for 3 years now, and can't justify the cost of a newer vehicle as long as this one keeps going
That's how it was meant to work. The president didn't get to order wars like this until after the 1940s.
Congress should only allow the president to act alone only if the homeland is directly attacked by another nation. Not a terrorist from another country, bona fide military forces. And maybe a handful of limited exceptions that directly impact US soil.
Otherwise we should deliberate and take time to think before getting involved in foreign wars. We have no right to try to police the world and it's a massive waste of resources
So the US, Israel, and Germany have been directly involved in this conflict thus far.
Russia is currently in a war with Ukraine as we know, and has announced their support of Iran. North Korea has been sending troops to this conflict. US and much of western Europe is already involved in some way.
China has been reported sending some kind of undisclosed aid to Iran already.
Currently unrelated but Pakistan and India just had a border skirmish. Pakistan does border Iran.
There's a lot of instability and World Wars worth of countries involved already. It truly wouldn't take much to start connecting some of these conflicts. If that happens it gets much bigger
I feel like you're reading a lot into this and start with a false premise. Both war and WW3 can be bad, WW3 is just more memeable
Did it look like Vance was actually disturbed by this? He looked off more than usual.
He made his bed, but I wonder if he's having regrets
That's exactly why it was insulting. It's basically saying "I'm sorry you can't afford a house, but the stock market is great!"
