What do we have to do to get our country on the right track?

[ElmerMudd]

What trends concern you?

The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. It is not changing.
We are losing our seperation of powers which is the backbone of our democracy. Our finding fathers lived in kingdoms. Separation of power is intended to prevent a king. The weaker the seperation of powers the closer we get to a king.
Retribution politics.

Call me a pessimist but I think the USA is in the worst shape domestically and internationally since WWII. I didn't think Biden was a good President but there are many trends that concern me.

You're a pessimist.

You had me in the beginning there and then you lost me.

None of my concerns are concerns of yours.

I am a business person. I am a capitalist. What is Trump's purpose of trying to bring manufacturers back to US. Provide jobs for a poorer segment of our population. I don't believe the government should give people money but we better have a system that gives all the opportunity to make a liveable wage.

Politicians on both sides speak to this in different ways but their actions are not doing it.

Education is key but a tough topic as many would never allow free thought and open discussion. Check this site out if you doubt. As for the right track there is none, there are only tracks and they are dependent on education and a broad education in history. And that ain't gonna happen as the first time little Joanie / Johnny comes home with a bright idea her/his parents don't like it is back to the closed mind. American pretends it is a land of education and freedom but the truth is far away from an open honest education. Visit the back roads, talk to the inner city, you know what the drill sergeant said about opinions. I'm afraid people we are stuck here and the best we can do have our little heaven in a nation that is still free. We do.

You wanna be free, disengage. That's the best possible solution.

Leftists have been bitching that businesses aren't paying workers enough. They shipped jobs overseas to reduce cost and increase profits. For decades, nothing was done to reverse this. When Trump wants to bring jobs back, leftists are cheering for China.

 

[ChristisKing]

Watch this entire video. The problem has been pointed out for a while now and the left laughs. This is no joke. Our education system is infected with hateful Marxist ungodly trash.

I'm glad that they got fired but I couldn't even finish the video because it twisted my stomach.

You know who is responsible for jobs going off shore. YOU are as am I and all consumers. Consumers demand lower prices. Companies found they could provide lower priced product by manufacturing off shore. The consumers had the choice of buying made in the USA at or a higher price or cheaper not made in USA. If consumers wanted the made in usa product more, that is where US companies would have focused their manufacturing.

That is on top of all the big box retailers who replaced small stores. Big box, not nearly as many good jobs.
But they provide cheaper product

I don't see that at all. I know that is the drumbeat from the left. Actually, things are going well for the country. On the other hand, things are really going badly for the democrat party, and they're saying all kinds of crazy crap like that.

 

[westwall]

Get rid of Democrats and RINOS?

That would be a good start.

Yes, it's difficult to watch because of the sick hate. Our education system is loaded with these vermin.

Actually, Wednesday something really horrible happened to the Republican party, but the only difference is Republicans don't run in fear when things go wrong,... they do something about it.

The US is about to be transformed by AI. Many jobs will be eliminated. People will need to be retrained for new jobs.
The government will need to consider a "tax surcharge" on billionaires.
Musk and Ellison are approaching TRILLIONAIRE.
Too much wealth is concentrated in too few hands.

This is good news.

These companies say they're investing more in U.S. manufacturing as tariffs go into effect

President Trump wants to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. These companies say they're investing in domestic factories.

If you want to focus on the few that are doing that, you are not paying attention to the majority to say the assassination was horrific.

It's not a few. It's millions of you.

 

[braalian]

None of this is unprecedented. Not even the political assassinations.

MLK, JFK, Bobby Kennedy, very nearly Reagan.

We’ve survived worse and we’ll survive this just fine

 

[marvin martian]

I have a masters degree, my son recently finished his undergraduate. There was no infestation. I learned the downside of Maxism and socialism in college.

Why didn't it stick?

 

[marvin martian]

If you want to focus on the few that are doing that, you are not paying attention to the majority to say the assassination was horrific.

Point me to a single prominent leftist - elected democrat, media figure, "entertainer" - who has said they're horrified by this. Just one.

We agree the democratic party is not doing well.

Yep, I was right about you. You're smarter than people think.
