Marty, you are part of the 14% of Americans who still fully support THOM without reservation, even to the point of ridiculing the 86% who have varying degrees of reservation about what he has done and is doing Early on we raised the point of lack of due process for people to ensure those being deported are in fact "eligible for the flight". You poo poohd it, but it seems SCOTUS fully agrees with us We raised the point that tariffs are not good for any trading nations ...that it is a tax and will lead to higher prices. That you would not believe. Now just yesterday or the day before Trump called Amazon's (non)decision to isolate the tariff affect on their pricing...to isolate it....as a "hostile act" .....you know....telling the truth about tariffs and their effects on the USA is now a "hostile act" We raised the point about THOM's erratic decisions on trade...tariffs one day, off the next, 125% after that, .....he simply roils the markets We said that if things did not work out that he would blame others for what he has done......we now have "the Biden Overhang" Now you want to move to the North Pole to get away from it all You do know that will all be open water soon right? It is why USA wants Greenland...why they are talking to Canada about being able to exert USA influence in our shared Arctic Ocean Here is your next worry. The USA distribution of wealth has been written about and it WILL cause lots of social upheaval as things become less and less affordable for the vaste majority of Americans and your middle class is shrinking. History suggests that as wealth becomes more concentrated, economic power and gains become a political force to perpetuate their advantages over others. How many billionaires are running your country now??? (hint the number between 12 and 14) Can you draw Roman parallels? How about The French Revolution? How about your own "Gilded Age" Do you know what a Plutocracy is? Is the USA now a "Government by the wealthy for the wealthy"??? This is NOT a healthy trend https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/z1/dataviz/dfa/distribute/table/
If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
