That's a really long one but pretty much every shitty trend since the 80s can be attributed back to him: Wage stagnation, climate inaction, police militarization, Middle East wars, no taxes for the wealthy, war on drugs, for profit prisons, elimination of pensions, union busting, media polarization, Iran-Contra affair, etc.

He was popular because he was charismatic but literally all of his policies hollowed out the country into what it is today.

All this hardship and money just so they can build a giant glass box in the middle of the fucking desert. Anyone whose spent like 5 minutes in a greenhouse will tell you why that's a bad idea for a city.

For a fun prank, pour out a small drop of Nitroglycerin and smack it with a hammer to scare your friends. :^)

This is nothing new from Tesla. My parents have a Model 3 and they can't use a car wash at all with it. Hand wash only.

Classic Conservative. All feelings of empathy begin and end at himself.

Can someone with a legal background explain to me how a law written before the state even existed is somehow considered more legitimate than current law?

Insurance rates are the true Canary of Collapse. If the money men have calculated that certain areas are going to quickly become unlivable, then people should listen.

Of course it's not trivial to just pack up your life and move but it's about to become super necessary, unfortunately.

I see your thinly veiled Hanlon's Razor and counter with Clark's Law: “Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.”
