Watching the US today is like looking at a train wreck.

Americans have become control freaks now.

Americans want to live in a prison because they are terrified someone might have freedom.

Americans think liberty is a one way street

Americans say a minimum wage only punishes businesses, but a minimum wage also hurts the unemployed and customers who hate high prices.

Americans hate immigrants, but Americans don't understand that allowing immigrants to come to the USA means Americans could also work in foreign countries if the US had more reciprocal work agreements.

Americans scream China gets jobs from the USA, but Americans are simply unable to understand that the US gets cheap products in return.

Americans swear yoga pants must be illegal, but Americans do not realize that if you know what is best for others, others might begin to think they know what's best for you.

Americans insist the Federal Reserve ended recessions, but the Fed just turned recessions into depressions.

Maybe you don't care if Airbnb, Uber, rope, dogs, churches, begging, hoverboards, swimming pools, vaping, knives, pillows, and marijuana are illegal, but one day something you like will be banned and you won't be able to say anything without sounding like a hypocrite.

Every law to fix every possible danger is just another door that makes the USA a bigger prison.

Americans should not be Nazis and Commies.

The solution for problems should be what Americans did in 1890 to fix problems. Nothing.

The government is not some kind of saint that invented schools, Disneyland, cars, and phones. Almost everything was created without the government.

Anyone who supports the police state is just a tool for the elites.

Live and let live.

I dont recall ever having this stance. I work from home and love capitalism - not a fan of Corporatism and monopolies.

You took this article and went to fucking space with it

What we are talking about is carbon taxes and cap-and-trade policies that are pretty moderate solutions to the climate crisis and widely Promoted by economists. They establish a price for carbon emissions and incentiveize companies to lessen their emissions. And arguably we're probably too late for these policies to do much good, seeing as how we have already tipped the ecological scales

Yet these GOP motherfuckers are threatening violence at the notion that they can't stop a climate change bill that is by all accounts pretty fucking reasonable and where Democrats in Oregon have made exemptions for their lumber industry and concessions to keep it from impacting low-income and rural populations.

There is no argument the FED fucked things up for us. The last president that tried to fight it was killed.

You have a lot of generalizations about us Americans - a lot of which are made by a loud Obnoxious 1/3 of the country whose representatives are kept in power by Gerrymandering and crooked politics.

Yea, we got problems. But leaving isn't an Option, and Turning Coat is unforgivable. I could leave but running from the problem damn sure wont fix it. The only way to fight it is by sharing and outing the dirty politicians on both sides.

But I mean your rant is so off topic, and some shit I completely agree with and others are stereotypes but now I dont even know what the fuck I'm talking about any more.
