Why are we fighting you on this??? Because it's wrongheaded, stupid, and it won't fix anything.
So, you disagree with us on policy? What a shock. I did not realize that. This is the first I have...wait, no, it's not.
You people reflexively disagree with us. So, this portion of your post is completely useless.
Why has the rest of the first been able to adapt to global trade without destroying their working or middle class, and transferring all of their national wealth to billionaires????
Well, from what I hear, from the UK, and from South Korea, they really HAVEN'T either. The problems of globalization seems to be...global.
BUT, I think it has hit us harder, because we are the worst for trade policy, and thus teh money is mostly flowing from us to them.
So.... yeah.
We spend money on the things that matter most to us. The USA spends money on the military, and the wealthy. Working people are living in the "land of opportunity" and must "pull themselves up by their bootstraps".
The point of the military is a valid one. But, it is needed expense. Our allies are able to not spend money there, because they have US to take that load for them.
Trump has been putting pressure on them to spend more to carry their share of the load more fairly.
As for the wealthy, the policies that have lead to wage stagnation are the ones you are fighting to KEEP.
Children of alumni move to the head of the line for elite universities, but "affirmative action" to ensure others have a fair shot to get in, are "unconstitutional and illegal".
Note that you pick out a limited example that effects ELITE UNIVERSITIES, and comparing it to something that is nearly UNIVERSAL across our society and economy.
So, yes, AA, or DEI, is the problem. It is ******* THE SHIT out of white (males). And we are done taking that hit.
I mean, we are really, really done with that. It is a massive violation of our rights and hurts us as a group badly.
The rest of the world spent money on retraining displaced production workers for jobs in the 21st Century. We didn't have a "Rust Belt". We spent money on infrastructure, education, and research, and working toward green energy.
We spent money on retraining too. ANd then the jobs went overseas or to illegals or HB1 visa holders.
So, that fucked US good. Green energy? LOL!!!!
The USA spent money on 30 years of war in the Middle East and Afghanistan. Flying into space, and dealing with massive climate change disasters.
1. You think we should have allowed the taliban to protect Osama? LOL
2. You think we should have allowed Saddam to conquer Kuwait?
Now you have a 6 times bankrupt, convicted felon running your nation. Nobody in the rest of the world thinks he knows anything about running economics, running a successful business, or honouring any agreements he makes.
The shame of the lawfare the dems did, is a shame on America. But at least we the people did not play along with the... oppression of the dems and allow them to arrest their political opposition.
NOte, in AMERICA, when want a be dictators try shit like that, THEY LOSE.
You should really try to learn from US.
