This has been going on for a while, hasn't it? Radio shows, and then the TV. People could begin to entertain themselves without going out. My grandfather talks about how his father…

The tariffs haven't made any difference in the trade deficit. There was a large peak just before the tariffs went into effect but since then the deficit has been largely the same a…

If I had any trust in Musk-run companies then I would agree with you but I think its closer to the hyperloop than reality.

I can't speak for Europe but in the US crime has been on a downward slope since the 90s, all while the percentage of immigrants in the US has gone up. A few studies have shown that…

I think you're right. People have been fooled into thinking he's a populist. He uses some populist trappings but look, for example, what he's done about Epstein: he's running inter…

It's not an ego problem. It's a racial one.

The above reply explains how Maga will carry on even if new Trump/Epstein news comes out. They'll do a what-about by pulling in some liberal involved with Epstein and then ignore i…

I think most of his followers would call it fake news or just ignore it

This is where I'm at. It's a cult and trumps believers will follow him to the kool aid. There's already quite a bit of proof that Trump had a relationship with Epstein and it hasn'…

While I believe it's good that we call it out, there will always be enough people willing to do evil for money. It'll have to be shut down from the outside and that's where our foc…

If it was COVID, though, wouldn't we expect to see the same thing in other countries?

These guys know that you can't accuse trump. He'll consider it disloyal and ignore you at best. By praising Trump he's hoping that Trump will step in and "fix" it, which will likel…

I've done all of those and while I think they are important i believe it's most important to let politicians know, otherwise they rely too much on money.

I'm hoping it was sarcasm but these days you never know.

And that some of us are trying to change the situation. My reps have heard from me multiple times.

> Some tell WIRED the vitriol is making them feel duped by the president and fearful that the hateful rhetoric will become a mainstay for the party. I'm sorry, but what? How could …

Maybe they just needs new batteries

They were ok with him bragging about grabbing women by the pussy but a picture of him as jesus is too far

Agreed. I've been to zion many times and the rangers have never been anything but helpful. A while back a ranger recommended a hike with few people and now I do it every visit. It …

I'm all in favor of the impeachment but I worry that it makes it more likely that he wants to nuke Iran. If he's going down he'll take everyone with him. Hopefully the people aroun…

Anyone who is frustrated with HN comments and moderation just need to read the Reason comment section to see how good it is here.

I also think being a billionaire warps one's world view. Almost everybody around a billionaire sucks up to them just to get a sip from the firehose of their wealth. Its gotta be ha…

Supporting an illegal war would be a funny way to support democracy. Or maybe they believe in democracies that ignore their constitution.

Agreed. As soon as I see someone pull out TDS I know nothing of substance will follow.

I'm very progressive in some ways but I do think progressives make this particular problem worse, often with good intentions. Both sides are equally NIMBY but liberals also have: -…
