14 hours ago14 hr It looks like Trump will attempt to get Putin to do a 'Peace Deal in 50 days', this time with tariffs and re-starting aid to Ukraine.I doubt that Putin/Russia wants to end the war at all.
4 hours ago4 hr 21 hours ago, Matt! said:Maybe this generation is the one that can actually turn things around. I don’t think it’s too late, we just need new rising stars in both parties (real Republicans, not MAGAs) with fresh ideas and common goal.I highly doubt it, the US economic situation currently is the result of 40 years of missteps and internal corruption which warped/distorted society.It would require many years if not decades to restructure the economy if it is even possible. Just the act of re-industrializing a peacetime economy top-down would take many administrations. Overall, the quality of the US political top is extremely low (in terms of personalities, and ideas) and corrupt. On top of that the national debt levels are now growing at an insane pace which is a tax on the whole population.There's also the problem on how to un-financialize the insanely over-financialized US economy which represents a tax on the whole population outside the finance sector. It seems to be impossible, especially with IT being so advanced that any regulation would be maneuvered by financial innovation. If you look at the US stock market it is over-valued by many multiples- American companies are simply not worth that much based on valuation principles. It's funny money. And how to fix healthcare, also 20% of the economy? Due to the great wealth extracted from the population, near my house there have been so many new fancy medical facilities and hospitals constructed.If there's a God, he hates America since the Vietnam war and wants to damage it as much as possible so it disappears as the world's superpower as soon as possible.
