Well those answers cost money. They want cheap clear answers that don't cost much, like a pizza party.
Whoa whoa whoa - pizza costs money. We will do a potluck and require everyone bring their own food to share instead.
If only we had politicians with the balls to actually do something.
Oh they're doing plenty. Deregulation, accepting bribes, dismantling of social programs, curtailing freedom, and actively fighting against any improvements to society, government, or business. Ya know, the Republican platform.
Umm.. you guys have been having a Dem president lately? And if my memory serves me well the ones before Trump were D, D, R, R, D, D... This is not the work of the gop alone, and is happening in every other part of the world as well. Things in Europe and Latin America suck just the same, with governments of every colour and it's the same story: the good ones always have their hands tied and can't do any of the things they promised but the bad ones somehow can do lots of things, see all the damage Trump did in just four years.
you had me in the first part, but I'd point out and add that the Democrat establishment never hesitates to squander an opportunity.
One side actively stands for disaster, the other side occasionally throws us a bone. Eh, it sucks, but the alternative is revolution and we're too lazy for that.
