Matt!

Uh oh.

!!!!!!

Oh never mind. It's all fake news.

This is really sad and I’m sorry it happened. But this is exactly what happens when critical government services get cut, the people who rely on them end up paying the price. It’s only going to get a lot worse as hurricane season brings more storms.

@Cult Icon lmao

There are solutions, but neither party seem willing to seriously pursue them. For example (nordics comparison): Raise the federal minimum wage and tie it to inflation. Strengthen labor unions to give workers more negotiating power and leverage. Implement universal health care or at least a strong public option and cap prescription drug prices to reduce overall costs. in the Nordic countries, healthcare is publicly funded and available to all, with tightly controlled drug prices. In America, a vial of insulin can cost $100-$300 (just checked and its mind boggling) without insurance. In contrast in Sweden, thanks to price regulation and universal healthcare system, patients pay a maximum of about $25-ish total per year for all their prescription medications. Cancel/reduce student debt and make higher education more affordable and accessible. Ror example in the Nordic countries, university is tuition-free and and students receive monthly support to cover living costs, so they can focus on studying instead of drowning in debt. Reform the tax system. Raise taxes on extreme wealth, capital gains, and high incomes and most importantly !___close the loopholes used by corporations and the ultra wealthy___!. End corporate lobbying through complete campaign finance reform. In the Nordic countries, political campaigns are publicly funded and very strictly regulated, which helps keep corporate influence out of politics and ensures elected officials are accountable to the people, not corporate/private money.

A person can be an American by birth or by law, but living by the Constitution is what gives that identity real meaning. The Constitution isn't just a document; it's a framework that defines the rights, responsibilities, and limits of power in a free, democratic society. Ignoring it distances you from the principles that holds the country together. Being American isn’t just a status, it’s a commitment to shared ideals and dreams.

Quick reply while I’m cleaning: Agree on the hard reset - this has happened for thousands of years. Fight the WW3, make peace, figure out the root problems, tear down the old systems, build back better. Back to cleaning.

"Oh no"

A multiparty system just doesn’t work in America, because of how voting is set up. It’s winner-takes-all, so smaller parties don’t stand a chance, they just end up spoiling the vote. People stick to the big two out of fear that their vote won’t count, so unless the whole system changes, it’s stuck that way. On the other hand, a real multiparty system could ease constant polarization by giving people more choices and common ground.

Summer rainstorm > category 2 hurricane

Sorry to say this, but you’re not becoming a laughingstock - you already are. It’ll take multiple presidencies to even begin rebuilding your image on the world stage and restoring any real credibility. America’s brand has been thoroughly tarnished in just six months.

And then what? The destination country is just going to match it with their own tariffs on American goods. Send as many letters as you want, sure some countries might cave, but most are just matching the tariffs. What happened to 90 deals in 90 days? It’s been over 80+ days, and maybe five got done..and even those are just frameworks of agreements. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/12/trump-wanted-90-deals-in-90-days-instead-hes-finding-wins-where-he-can-00403638

"Trump realizes that” Grandpa is literally the stupidest president on the planet. Even Elmo knows the value of renewable energy. Let's take solar energy for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_China Top 10 Breakthroughs in Solar Energy (2005–2025): Massive Cost Reduction Solar panel prices have dropped over 90% since 2010, making solar the cheapest form of electricity in many regions. Increased Panel Efficiency Commercial silicon solar panels have improved from ~15% to 22–24% efficiency, making systems more powerful and space-efficient. Perovskite Solar Cells A game-changing new material with lab efficiencies over 33% when paired with silicon — cheaper and easier to produce. Tandem & Multi-Junction Cells Advanced solar cells combining materials (like silicon + perovskite) have reached over 40% efficiency in lab settings. Solar + Battery Storage The rise of systems like Tesla Powerwall makes solar usable 24/7 by storing excess energy for nighttime or cloudy periods. Smart Inverters & Grid Integration Modern solar setups use intelligent inverters and grid tech, improving reliability and balancing supply with demand. Flexible, Thin-Film & Transparent Solar New solar formats allow integration into windows, clothing, tents, and rooftops where traditional panels don’t fit. Solar’s Global Share Surging Solar now supplies ~5–6% of global electricity, up from <1% in early 2010s. Space-Based Solar Power Research Concepts and small-scale experiments have explored collecting solar power in space and beaming it back to Earth. Recognition as the “King of Electricity” The International Energy Agency (IEA) declared solar the leading source of new electricity generation globally. Donald and his supporters probably think you can’t harvest solar energy on days without direct sunlight which honestly explains a lot.
