The slight majority of Americans say they are worse off than four years ago, while their assessments of the U.S. economy are subpar and inflation remains a key concern.
Nothing will fundamentally change, things will get 10% worse every year and the weapons shipments to the genocidal frontier will continue. Same as it ever was.
Ah, sorry. I edited that away, after rereading the context. I didn’t want to inject personal philosophy into what was clearly not about my beliefs.
But the second clause was given (or was intended to be given) in the context that I don’t believe hope is actionable. It’s just wasted emotional energy. If I can take an action that directly improves things, I do.
The scale is also poorly defined - sorry.
The first: world at large. The second: the world that is around me - my family, my local environment (radiating out from my house, into my community, etc - but I know I can’t impact the national level).
That is not all that you said. This is what you said:
Nothing will fundamentally change, things will get 10% worse every year and the weapons shipments to the genocidal frontier will continue. Same as it ever was.
So that was all a joke? Things could fundamentally change and things might not get 10% worse every year?
Otherwise, seems like we all might as well give up.
Yeah I joked about the 10% worse, they just raised interest rates and all the warmongering lead to inflation (red sea bypass due to Israel and Russian oil getting cut off)
Excuse me for remembering what happened in the last 4 years
Also Biden ended the COVID unemployment payouts, boneheaded move because COVID numbers are higher than ever.
The MIC is a great career for kids who studied computers because they wanted to make video games. It’s the profitable side of the school-to-global-prison pipeline.

So everyone just give up! No point in trying!
What have you been trying?
For one thing I’ve been very active with Jewish Voices for Peace for months. What about you?
Edit: Sorry, sleepy posting. That was not contextually relevant at all.
You just contradicted yourself…
and then:
Or do you mean that such an opportunity will never exist?

I mean I keep saying they should stop sending weapons to Israel but none of my democratic reps will give me the time of day
You just said it will continue no matter what.
Why say anything?
I said “nothing will fundamentally change” ironically paraphrasing Biden because quite a lot changed lol
Also the statement that “the weapons shipments will continue” was more of an observation

Look I’m just quoting the president, sorry if Biden makes you so hopeless, that’s why I’m voting PSL
Now you’re lying. Biden didn’t say anything about a 10% change every year, better or worse, you did.
You’re lying to avoid the questions: Were you joking, or will things get 10% worse every year? If so, why bother?
(Also, just so you know, I could not give less of a shit who you vote for.)
Now please answer the questions.

They ended COVID administratively
I should have gotten into the bomb making business
If you live in America, you already are.
