There’s nothing that can be done. Republicans have every bit of power there is. At least for the next two years.

Capitalism

Anecdote: My Trumpster in-laws could not stop yacking about “Biden’s high eggs prices” just last month. Haven’t heard a peep about the price of eggs since Trump came back. Now it’s just “God’s will.”

Didn’t say he was. Just saying if he did such crazy things that even the crazies drop out, he could be removed. That’s extremely hard in the US. You’re basically stuck with the moron for four years.

And that’s the problem with the US election system. In basically any other developed democracy, there are ways to call a new special election. The four years are often the max between elections, not the minimum.

If a new leader proves unpopular, you toss them out and install a new one.

Assuming you can sell the Tesla, doesn’t that just mean that there are just as many people looking to buy a Tesla?

This is true. And right now, at least for the next two years, they have every bit of conceivable power there is. The President, the Senate, the House, the Supreme Court. There are no checks and balances of Donald Trump.

Go as a student and find a spouse while you’re there for the easiest way to stay after you’re done with school.

This is exactly it. The degree is the gatekeeper.

And now that Republicans are set to have the Presidency, Congress and SCOTUS all at the same time, there doesn’t seem to be any barriers left.

Abolish capital punishment!

Complaining about the taxes would be the dumbest since the US spends a lot more tax money for a lot less per capita.

But reality has the response covered:

Many European countries has a max wait time of 90 days for non-emergency elective surgery. If the wait is longer than that at a public hospital, the patient can choose to have the surgery done at a private hospital if there’s room at no additional cost. Emergencies are always treated immediately, of course. You can also choose to have a private top-up health insurance plan if you wish to always be treated at private hospitals.

It’s wild that Americans accept this idiotic healthcare system.

Lol. Yeah, that’s not what French food is, but ok.

I like French food better. But it doesn’t really matter. Taste in food is highly subjective.

I love pizza, but there’s a lot of food that’s better, imo.

Because whatever happens on the national level affects what happens on the state level.

They all affect each other even when the electoral count make them seemingly unimportant.

They do, because no state exists in a vacuum.

Between shipping manufacturing jobs elsewhere, and allowing in immigrants who do menial work, people at the low end of the economy are pretty pinched for work.

Isn’t the unemployment rate close to record low? I mean, a lot of people work 2 and more full-time jobs to make ends meet, but that seems like a different issue.
