I hard disagree with what you said, but you are also correct with the political situation.
A minority party in a normal world shouldn't only be obstructionist. They should ideally all work together to make the best outcomes for the constituents. This is a functional democracy.
Now that our democracy is in absolute decay on the path to a fascist takeover (if not already there), you are absolutely right.
Maybe pedantic, but I feel like it's important to remember how things should function.
50 minutes isn't that bad tbh. I dont remember the last time I flew that there wasn't a delay. Hell even the whole arriving 2 hours before ,finding parking, going through security is all so much more of a hassle.
I'd much rather walk 5 minutes to the local subway head to the hauptbahnhof and wait 50 extra minutes for my train. I can at least go get a reasonably priced coffee while I wait.
Hell they have just as much of a right to nukes as the US does. We shouldn't police the world.
I don't think my nation has the right to control what other nations do through military force.
We do it, but I don't think we should
It's a bad agreement to make. If a nuclear nation tries to make a deal with a non-nuclear country to not develop a weapon that country needs to double their nuclear program funding.
The US doesn't respect their agreements and Russia clearly hasn't. At best nuclear nations just want to keep the non-nuclear nation subservient
I'm glad you made this post. Reddit banned me after some pro-luigi posting after 13 years on the platform.
I checked and all my comments are still there so I should start cleaning them up. No reason they should be able to make money from me anymore
Even if they dont they should develop them immediately. Every nation should at this point.
I'm not a fan of more nuclear weapons per se, but now it seems that nuclear nations will invade any nation it wants.
Imagine if Ukraine kept their nukes
The next one will probably be No Kings 2 combined with anti Iran war protests.
It's amazing how you get so close to the issue and then push the blame down to the impoverished.
The reason not to address poverty is to make people desperate so they then join the military. Therefore they are now volunteers and "chose" this path. So "we" don't have to feel bad for them, instead the American people are generally thankful for their service or in your case angry with them. This is all intentional. Their deaths now becomes acceptable.
If the US government addressed cyclical poverty they would lose military recruitment. Then they could turn to conscription, but that would make their conflicts less tolerable to the general public.
So they dont address these issues. It's intentional, and by pushing blame down instead if up where it belongs you're just playing into their plan
You are seriously underestimating cyclical poverty. It's not just about "paying for college". There are a lot of places in this country where you'll struggle your whole life and will then statistically die much younger than your better off peers.
We as a society have generally failed to provide solutions to this kind of poverty. For many the military is the only choice. For many it's not even about college, it's about having a meal tomorrow.
You speak as someone that's never expirenced the worst of poverty.
I can agree it's not the best solution, but people will take it because our society offers little else. I won't critize them for taking it.
We should focus on the systematic issues that lead to this type of poverty and maybe adress all the other problems surrounding the military industrial complex before we critize poor kids
America
Let's be fair only about 33% of the country gets erect.
An additional 15% support him because they are convinced democrats eat babies. This group goes back and forth on whether or not they like his policies, but ultimately support them.
Then about 5-10% cannot make up their mind, and flop back and forth. Typically if this group thinks the economy is good they side with the incumbent if they think it is bad they side with the other side.
