Considering the thing you're going on and on about is a comparatively far-lesser version of something that happened repeatedly for a MONTH in Donald Trump's America and neither you nor any of your fellow Trumpers batted an eye, I'd say that it being a Democrat in charge is the sole reason you give a shit- and that you're hiding the blatant hypocrisy by ignoring that the protestors are arguably better targets to strawman us with than Biden's response to them and acting like Biden's some kind of fascist dictator after four years of a man who desperately wanted to BE a fascist dictator.
Joe Biden’s fascist army is only inflaming this situation. We are a country of laws, not an autocrat with his own personal troops to deploy on our city streets against concerned citizens.
Can you provide some details about it? I'm not seeing anything.
Any blood spilled is the fault of those looting and burning.
A problem of our times is, that it has become so speculative, that middle classes cant afford housing anymore.
Maybe not where they want to live, but hasn't that always been the case?
Also the question was "it could have worked", vs. "you created a world wide economic crisis" I believe..
It could have worked if the financial industry hadn't been entirely fraudulent. I am disappointed there were no criminal charges.
They are worried about terrorism, they are right to be worried. If bitcoin is going to be allowed to continue then they need to de-anonymize it.

The concerned citizens elected Biden. The children that invaded the capitol need a time out

Care to expand upon that one?
Politcos gonna politico, line their pockets and those of their mates while having everybody else in varying amounts (or their hypothetical children that nobody is really having) fund it, all while seeking a next photo opportunity having been shown doing something that is largely automatic anyway or just that it is close enough to where they are at to generate them "aw they care" points for the time investment.
This does not change with the colour of their neck ties. Beyond that there are so many interests pulling in every which way that any change is glacial.
To that end you pretty much can ignore politics*, not least of all because you are hard pressed to change anything there (voting is generally mathematically irrelevant, guns and bombs is generally not a great plan or likely to cause that much in the end, and with a statement like that then you presumably don't have the tens of millions free to spunk on playing it the money way) and there is much you can do for yourself that will have far better improvements upon your general happiness and well being. Make something to sell, fix something, learn a skill, play some games, have a chat with mates... all likely to leave you better off.
*or if you must treat it as an amusing sport or an amusing soap opera. For the latter then the writing and plot lines are not great but there is always more of it to consume whenever you are bored.
America especially suffers from this because it costs so much to get in power you need donations and most people don't donate unless they are going to get something back in return.
Trump claimed this wouldn't affect him because he was a billionaire, but it turns out that this was a lie.
Apparently he did not, period.
https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/n...ough-will-president-biden-do-what-he-promised
Our new president made a promise to ban fracking on public lands while he was on the campaign trail. Whether he keeps it or not could be the first domino to change the fate of the world.
What is that though (I'm still searching/unconvinced), all I hear about is the party of Davos going on and on about "reskilling" and "lifelong reskilling" and "rights to reskill" --
but at the same time "we'll not necessarily have a talent shortage - we'll just have those 'other guys also to deal with'" meaning - if you only need 10% of the population - better make up some BS that keeps the rest around.
Also growth of the service sector to a strange amount is seen with "unbanked people". So create the financial infrastructure, to exploit the worlds poor into happyiness with corpo of your choice.
(Why not facebook?)Also more STEM because of climate change - 20 years too late.
So to what part of this am I looking forward to? The 'opportunity' part? The If you hustle now, you can get somewhere, by leaving the rest of society in service (platform economy) lead infrastructures?
The part, where its now 'digital growth' that is driving economic progress? (That thing that was always 'free' to us, as it was pure innovation lead, and needed no one to manage it? (Someone creates a thing, we copy (as in copy/paste).). I should be happy that tomorrow I'll get so many more services? (Sounds like someone selling me on 'features'...).
edit: Maybe I'm too pessimistic...

Probably, things will either work out for the best or if they won't then it's unlikely you have the ability to do anything about it.
I certainly wouldn't trust those who fight to hold onto the past.
Just to be clear, here - you're taking the bait.

Yeah, I know.
But on occasion these ludicrous statements provide the perfect picture of what Trumpers resort to- deluded trolling tucked safely in their own false reality- and basically providing an area-of-effect callout. (It's kinda like testing an under-the-table-loopy-drunk guy for alcohol, and halfway through he spills the beans that everyone in the party, him included, is on crack as well.)
Sometimes, taking the bait is the perfect way to take down the entire ship.
But yeah, just gonna ignore this guy from now on.

Billion dollar company can't get 1 person to help world's goin to shit under biden j/k
Yea ignore Biden attack on the American people protesting is ok now since he is President
I think I was pretty clear. To be able to not care about politics is to have a life largely free from the consequences of political election results. Minorities whose basic rights are often attacked, for example, don't have that privledge. I wish I could not care about politics, but I don't have that luxury.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
Did you have something substantive to say in response to my post, or are you just shitposting?
What minorities have their rights attacked in the US such that you have to watch the sky/colour of ties on the politicos and their actions lest it unleash something unpleasant upon you?
Whether LGBT couples are literal families or not continues to be a matter of political discourse, for example.
It takes a certain level of privilege to not consider the plights of others.

I honestly want the trans related laws that were repealed or put into place under the Trump administration to be corrected. I know Biden overturned the military ban, I am hoping he also pushes to correct and remove bathroom laws. Trump presidency was not good for the trans community.
