What democracy? We only have two political parties, and they are both owned by the rich and do the riches bidding. At this point calling America a democracy is a joke. The peoples will is subverted at basically every level of government.
I think back in 2016 the rich elite of the country thought Trump was playing a part to get elected and if he was elected, he'd play ball with them and continue the corrupt gravy trains they have collectively set up. However, they realized too late that he wasn't playing a part after he got...
History shows that very few people who get into power willingly give it up. There is a new ruling class in America that got where they are by shady means, and they won't give that up without a fight. Thats a reality.
China's CCP, which is probably the most oppressive government on earth...
Yes, I did. Do you honestly think all the corrupt bankers, corporations, and politicians are just going to wake up one day and spontaneously turn over a new leaf out of the goodness of their hearts? What's going to push them to reform? Asking them nicely? Come on.
I find it perplexing that my countrymen who once rebelled against tyranny now lay down and let our obviously corrupt government put their boot on their necks. Traitor Trump led a coup attempt and stole top secret military documents and he's chilling in Florida talking crap about the FBI daring...
All the stores put their electronics departments at the back of the store for a reason, so you have to walk past all the other depts to get to it and hopefully impulse buy something. Companies also pay extra to stores to have their products placed on end caps which are more visible and sell...
I've worked retail and I've never understood those people who think they'll get good service by acting like a jerk. I remember working at Sears and my manager and I were honestly trying to help a customer with an issue, but he was extremely rude and insulting from the get-go. We tried to calm...
During the Uvalde school shooting in the US the cops waited around outside for 45 minutes because they were scared to go in. One of the children's mothers climbed a fence and went in and got her kid while the cops were still sitting outside. Training for cops in the US needs to be drastically...
They should just have the entrances set up as enclosed areas that can be locked down till the cops show up. However, the thieves could then sue for unlawful imprisonment or kidnapping or other nonsense. So that idea won't work.
When I worked retail we were trained not to try stopping or chasing thieves. I wasn't going to do that anyway. Why would I risk getting hurt over a wage slave job?
I agree the world would be a better place if people gave up their petty grievances and acted more rationally but I've long ago realized that humans are wired to be aggressive and tribalistic. Humans will always split off into groups and then invent reasons to hate the others. Getting humans not...
I believe in George Carlin's theory about the club. Trump is a member of the club but he's too unstable to be let near any levers of power again. I think the club will seem him to prison before they let him have the chance to run for president again.

The "culture war" between the parties is just a smoke screen to cover up how they screw over 99% of the population to appease the rich. In front of cameras, they pretend to care about culture war issues then meet up later off camera for drinks and to strategize how they can further rig the...
