Your views, thoughts or simply opinions. The Economy is not well (understatement). I know there are some here that will try to link the country they are residing in as problems of the USA. Sorry the USA cannot be responsible for 100% of the problems in the world nor should they be expected to help repair all problems.

If the losing candidate for president is calling the winner a cheat, I say "Sore Loser!".
If the losing candidate for president is proven to have lost by every independent expert, the experts he hired himself and 60 court cases, and he's still calling the winner a cheat,
I say "Horrific Conman!".
If that losing candidate for president is then organizing fake electors, while his VP doesn't want to cooperate, and he sends an angry mob to obstruct the election proceedings and hang his VP, I say "Traitor!".

But when the winning candidate thanks his billionaire buddy for his landslide victory
in a state, because he knows those vote counting computers better than anybody...
What can I say?
I say: FBI, CIA, NSA and Cyber Ninjas, get your ass auditing and investigating the Pennsylvania election, for this clear admission of election fraud.

get over it, we can't fix America if you keep digging up shit, didn't you learn anything from what obiden did the last 4 years? It accomplished nothing but putting the very man you hate back in office because you wasted time and effort defaming HIM instead of taking care of America.

Oh sure, your side can cry about fraud for years, after
it's been completely debunked, but when your side admits fraud,
people who care about democracy should "get over it".

I learned from what Trump did. I'm sorry to say you didn't.
Biden is definitely to blame, but Americans are more to blame.

Biden did his best to take care of America. Of course that can't be said of Republicans, who did their best to damage America.

maybe this will shine a light on the why and how,

The Bible includes many examples of people who were considered sinners but were used by God, including people who were poor, broken, or unqualified.
Examples of sinners used by God

Noah: Became drunk
Jacob: A schemer
David: A murderer and adulterer
Jonah: Ran away from God
Gideon: From a weak clan, but called by God to fight the Midianites
Moses: Had anger issues
Joshua: Was afraid of his enemies
Rahab: A prostitute in Jericho
Peter: Denied Christ three times
Samson: Was prideful
Isaac: Had poor parenting skills

God often uses people who are unlikely or unqualified, and who wouldn't seek the glory for themselves.
By Ananas2xLekker [Ignore] 21,Jan,25 11:11 other posts 
And what did god's use of Noah lead to?
Genocide of everyone, except Noah and his family.
Good example, phart! I'm very much put at ease now.

I think considering the fact i read the other day before this was announced that there was a credible threat to Trump during this time that was also a factor in deciding to have it inside.
Parade inside? How the hell does that work? again, I think there is a viable threat.
And sadly, with so many radical leftist and iran wanting him dead, it will be a constant struggle to keep him secure.
1 survey I read mentioned that over 55% of the people ask said they fear for his safety today.
By Ananas2xLekker [Ignore] 20,Jan,25 13:16 other posts 
There is only one reason; Trump feared he would have another disappointing crowd.
Who's talking about a parade? The inauguration ceremony is most often done outside.
Last time indoors was 1985, the inauguration of Ronald Reagan.
That day the temperature reached 7 degrees Fahrenheit (-14 Celsius) in Washington. "The medical people told them that exposed areas would freeze in less than five minutes, with wind-chill factors like on that day."

Who cares what the critics think or write. After 9 years you either believe in Trump or you don't. It won't sway the needle.And besides, who is going to slander him now after he made a fortune suing their asses? They knew they fucked up because they settled it.. It's not 1st amendment rights if you slander a man publically on false accusations. Even in Japan its slander even if you are right and it hasn't been brought to court yet. Better to be criticised and alive then a dead martyr. They say because of the weather but regardless they did the right thing especiallly after 3 attempted assassination attempts, slandering his honor and throwing him in jail broke. Now that fucking stupid bastard pardonned his entire family.. This will do nothing but show in history as an admission of guilt. AOC now will be sued for calling him a rrapist for the reason she didn't go to the inaugeration ceremonies. She thinks its funny.. It won't be very funny later.

You know, I was already happy this morning when I got up from bed. But I have witnessed today, rays of hope not from washington, but from right here in my neighborhood. I go to breakfast this morning. Young gal about 19 waited on me, I just said sweet tea in my slow southern voice,"why so sad?" she said,"Oh I aint sad mam just kinda tired, happy really," She said, "yes, I Am so glad that Trump is coming back to the white house!".
Later, about 2 oclock, I went by a local greek resturant, beside a shoe shop I was going to next, and Fox news was on the tv, that's why I went there so I wouldn't miss alot, and the young gal there, about 25,covered in tatoos, ear hole rings the size of silver dollars, I am thinking, Oh boy I bet she aint happy> BUT I was WRONG. She came up, ask my drink order and I said sweet tea, and I was looking up at the tv and she chimed in and said" me and the owner have been keeping up with it all day, so glad we have a real President now,and there only 2 genders and he is putting God back in the nations capitol" I was dumbfounded, happy, glad I was wrong. 2 young WOMEN that support Trump.
All the bad shit liberals have called him, everything that has been done to him and what has been said about him and the young people can see right thru the bullshit!

There is HOPE for this country after all, I am about to go to bed tonight feeling good about being a American.

It took South Korea less than a month to arrest his former president, who tried to stage a coup, whereas we decided to run for president again and slow-walk his prosecution so he could retake power before being held accountable.

According to new reports, Donald Trump's team is falling 'woefully short" of their staffing goals because they are running out of candidates that meet their criteria. Specifically, they believe share the MAGA "America First" ideology. In reality, they are having trouble finding people willing to follow every single thing that Trump says blindly, and that is the only quality that the Administration is looking for.

"The prime minister of Greenland said, 'We are not for sale, but we are open for business' – I think we ought to take him at his word," Stavridis said of Premier Múte Egede, according to The Hill.

Regardless of forging a deal to bring Greenland under U.S. control from Denmark, the Greenlanders say they are at least ready for independence.

"Greenland is for the Greenlandic people," Egede said Friday. "We do not want to be Danish, we do not want to be American. We want to be Greenlandic."

Egede added he is "ready" to talk to Trump on a deal.

May be, people with mental issues hate successful people and instead of bringing themselves up, they like to drag others down.
By quint [Ignore] 29,Dec,24 12:46 other posts 
I get that for sure, I know people that would rather bring you down then raise themselves up, or try to destroy you if they can’t. I mean you don’t have to have those mental health issues to envy, resent or maybe even hate the rich and successful… but killing or threatening to kill someone for it is crazy
I read it was because he’s a South African, not American born.. and a billionaire who got handed the position along with Vivek to be able cut social security and Medicaid for Government efficiency… plus something about Visas to bring foreign tech guys in because he says they are more educated than Americans.. don’t know enough about it, that’s why I’m asking
You certainly can’t believe everything you read.
By phart [Ignore] 29,Dec,24 13:17 other posts 
I read some of Vivek explained part of the problems in the US is people don't consider engineers and such to be important. He said bring back the nerds,the smart people.
Take this google Ai response to quality of US education,
"
When compared to other developed countries, the US education system is generally considered to be below average, particularly in math and science, with students performing significantly lower than their peers in countries like Singapore, Finland, and Canada on international standardized tests,"

"The United States spends more on education than most other countries, "
In other words we don't get much for the money we spend.

And I Agree, with Vivek whole heartedly, to me , since our schools have been dumbed down by crt and common core math and dei, and more concern for the lgbtq community instead of actual knowledge, only foreign people have the actual knowledge to do anything. Foreign people still have a grasp of the fact knowledge is power and knowledge will earn you wages.People with knowledge are a far greater asset to America than ball players and the like. In the long term, i don't think social security and Medicare are in much danger. Besides,
neither were designed to maintain a living, they were meant to assist later in life. You are supposed to go get a job, build seniority for wage increases ,invest in your employers stock options and invest in your own retirement plans. People bounce from job to job for a dollar more on the hour and expect government to sustain them when they get to old to job hop.
By quint [Ignore] 29,Dec,24 14:24 other posts 
I agree with you.. In today’s age I would imagine it’s very important to be leading in tech.. and it makes more sense to hire the best available for what you need. I’ve read the US education system is not the best, but know nothing about it really.
I also agree with you on society caving to the lgbtq community. I attended a sports tournament at a Secondary school.. after a couple of coffees I need to use the can.. The first one I found had a sign on the door ..something about self identified male washroom.. I didn’t even know what that meant.. it took me a minute. I have nothing against the community but this is all getting ridiculous. Maybe if we revamped the whole washroom sign thing down to either penises or vaginas instead of blurry gender issues, it would sort itself out.. lol
As far as Medicaid is concerned.. I hope they don’t cut it.. I am sure there are hard working American families, retirees and especially young families with sick kids that need legitimate help.
I was under the impression that social security was the Canadian equivalent of old age security, which you pay into .. or loan the government if you look at it that way.. designed so you still have a income to collect when you retire, whether you have other personal investments or not.. Does social security include welfare as well? They are 2 separate entities up here.

I think they are separate here.

"The United States spends more on education than most other countries. In other words we don't get much for the money we spend."

I HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU FOR YEARS!!!
It's because those other countries have PUBLICLY FUNDED education.

You're denying many smart kids a quality education, because their parents are poor. That results in less highly qualified engineers. Because you only want the dumb kids of rich people studying, you now have to import your highly qualified engineers.
I hope those IMMIGRANTS, will all vote for DEMOCRATS, DUMB-ASSES!!

No what is happening is kids are being passed thru school.Just as I was basically. I should have been held back myself a year or 2 because my math skills sucked but the teachers and schools are more afraid now than they were then to hold back a kid and make sure they actually LEARN what they need to know before moving up a grade. Far as I am concerned the old joke about being 19 and in the 5th grade shouldn't be a joke, if you are that dumb, you need to be held back UNTIL YOU ARE NOT.
It should not even be legal for a kid to quit school at 16. They can't even drive yet at that age in most states now by themselves. They can't vote, drink,or die for their country, so what makes them smart enough to think they can just drop out of school that is not costing them a red cent?
By Ananas2xLekker [Ignore] 02,Jan,25 09:39 other posts 
If it shouldn't be legal to quit school at 16,
why only have public funded K thru 12?

Nothing you are saying is a justification for denying smart kids a good education, just because their parents are poor. It's not good for anyone, not good for them and not good for your country; it's a waste of talent.
By phart [Ignore] 02,Jan,25 12:27 other posts 
most are 18 when they graduate if they make it thru without being held back. High school education is a minimum requirement for most jobs and sadly, alot of kids coming out of school can't even do math without a calculator.
or keep a bank balance or most anything needed to maintain a life of a mature adult over 18. Kids quitting at 16 made a little bit of sense back in 1940 or something when farming was the main way people out in the countryside made it thru life but kids don't have that excuse anymore. How can a 16 year old that hasn't completed high school in modern times, vote wisely? They can't, most likely will vote for whatever party gives them something for little or nothing. think about that.
k thru 12 is plenty for a person going to work in most trades where you can apprentice a while and progress thru the ranks. to many 60 years old doing manual labor today because college kids get hired off the street to run crews and companys with little to no actual experience in the field. which is not good
By Ananas2xLekker [Ignore] 10,Jan,25 12:07 other posts 
If you think privatizing education will make it better, you're mistaken.
It will just make young people leave school even younger, because their parents cannot afford it.

One reason for why they want to privatize education, is because by 1st amendment they can make no law respecting an establishment of religion.
They want to pump fundamentalist Christianity into the heads of children,
so they need to take education out of the hands of government.
No way will messing up the heads of children with that insane version of Christianity help your high tech economy. You are going to need even more H-1B immigrants to do the jobs Americans are not capable of doing.

I am sorry but most of the folks I know with kids around here simply want to get their kids away from all the lgbtq+ bs and away from the hazards of males in girls bathrooms and such.and the crt and the common core math bullshit to. The parents want their kids to learn real math,and to learn to read and write and manage their lives.
public education is leaning away from those objectives.

A couple of years back there was a case of a boy claiming to be a girl sexually harassing a girl in the school bathroom only to be quietly transferred to another school as to HIDE what happened to prevent it from being public. he then REPEATED the offense and then it was made public. Only after 2 girls have been traumatized was something done about it.
The fact the school system Hides these events to prevent bad publicity is 1 of the reasons parents want private schools or at least more control and more transparency in the public schools.
Here is the case you can read about it, male wore a skirt into the girls restroom, school covered the situation up.

Who was talking about that "logic"? Did you think I disagree?
It's easy to support the logic of something no one objects to.
It's simple; if kids don't finish school, they will have a hard time to survive
in modern society. That's not good for them and not good for society.

Support the logic of your American model for education, which is more expensive than most other countries, but with much worse outcomes and a much lower overall education level.

Or support the logic of your healthcare system, which is the most expensive
in the world, but has much worse outcomes, for a majority of your citizens.

Support the logic of your oligarchic capitalist system, which makes the US the wealthiest country in the world, but also has a much higher poverty rate, one of the highest percentages of homeless people and the lowest minimum wage in the developed world. In one breath you are complaining about people not being able to afford groceries and in the next breath you want to give more money to the wealthy and less to the working class. What is the logic there?

Also they cannot stay off their little phones long enough to talk to anyone.
Vivek Ramasmarmy should be the last person to handle efficiency of healthcare.
He made his billions by scamming the system of investments in the development
of medication for Alzheimer. He knew a drug to treat Alzheimer failed all tests,
but he bought the rights to that drug very cheaply. Then he had his mother cook the documentation on the test results, so the looked more promising. Then he advertised the drug like it was the best invention since sliced bread, to pump up the stocks of his shell company, that he created for that one drug. It made that company worth a lot of money, but it was based on that one failed drug. He knew the drug would fail in the next clinical trials, but he sold all his stock, just before that happened. He changed the name of the company at a strategic time, so all the honest investors were fooled.

Some of those investors are likely family members of people with Alzheimer, or charities taking donations from family members of people with Alzheimer, or maybe even the inheritances of people who died of Alzheimer. That's the money that turned Vivek into
a billionaire, without him doing anything for Alzheimer patients and their family.

Vivek intentionally screwed those investors over, to enrich himself. That increases the development costs of pharmaceuticals and their price. What is efficiency of healthcare, if billions of dollars of it are going to scammers like Vivek, instead of to patients?

Buying and selling stocks of a company you have insider information about is actually
a CRIME. Ramasmarmy did an even worse crime, but he isn't being held accountable. He should be in jail for many years, but instead he's being allowed to control the most important finances in the USA.

He was CEO.. it was his plan.. so yeah he deserves the blame

I didn't think I'd have to explain "in the same light" but I see you're in the Netherlands, so maybe you're just not familiar with the phrase. I meant " rich, corrupt, self serving corporate CEO that exploits people for personal gain."

It's not the term I wanted you to clarify, I understand the term.
I was interested in what light you view the United Health CEO,
so I could consider if that also applies to Elon Musk.

I think many people would think Elon Musk is "rich, corrupt, self serving" too.
I don't think Elon Musk is just as directly damaging to people as Brian Thompson was, but he is doing great damage to democracy. He literally bought the presidency for Trump and is now directly involved in US national finances. I think that he's not at all interested in the efficiency of government spending, but that he's just interested in deciding what the US government spends its money on. He doesn't care about spending money on people and he wants the government to spend money on his
pet projects. That's super corrupt. That power should not be available to someone
who wasn't elected. However, don't be angry at Elon Musk for that, be angry at Republicans allowing it and the voters who voted for them.

I agree with you.. especially with so much hype around immigration and America first and then gets handed the piggy bank. Also ..just my opinion but I'd find it hard to believe that Elon has not done some serious damage to people's lives on his journey to who he is now.

Elon Musk is replacing the American Workers he fired with H1B Immigrants,
because those are cheaper. If I were MAGA, that would feel like treason to me.

"Tesla replaced laid off US workers with foreign workers using H-1B visas that Musk want to increase"

Hardcore MAGA is very loyal to the people who do nothing but screwing them over.
However, most of the people who helped Trump win, are already regretting it.

-- “He is more attuned to the needs of everyone instead of just the rich,”
Mosura, 55, said on a recent afternoon. “I think he knows it’s the poor people
that got him elected, so I think Trump is going to do more to help us.” --
She will find out how wrong she was, the hard way.

However, Trump clearly and unambiguously promised that he won't cut
social security and medicare.... He just needs Elon to do it for him.

Well a closer look at who is getting those benefits may well lead to some cuts if they are not qualified. It is common practice in the local big city for a woman with 3 kids and government help to get a low income house thru government channels, and then have a live in boy friend that works a good paying job. those benefits should stop right then and there when it is determined a working person is in that dwelling and could be providing. the 2 cases I am aware of the men worked at a UPS warehouse making damn good money, living free off the government with their girlfriends.

Sure, stop the benefits of a single mother supporting three kids, as soon as she has a boyfriend. Good idea! Let's see how her three kids turn out.

This is exactly what you think of, when people are talking about waste
in the system. Instead, I think of the 30 billion that the fossil fuel companies
get each year in subsidies. Why does the most profitable industry in the world need government handouts? It's just a tip for them.
By phart [Ignore] 03,Jan,25 07:45 other posts 
how will the kids turn out? the same as if the boyfriend wasn't there, because he is not the dad and doesn't give 2 shits about them,he is getting pussy and free housing. that is the example being set for the kids, live off the government

we all need fuel for transportation. making sure oil Companys are in good financial shape is as critical as making sure power company's, phone company's and our farms are in working order. fuel is a link the chain of our survival. a interruption can be devastating. I will admit, the oil companies are the 1's suffering the least of all of them. and shouldn't need anything but a fund set aside for emergencys. But I didn't set up the system.

Examples are important for children, but food and a place to live are more important. A mother who can keep an eye on them, instead of working all day, is also important. She shouldn't lose all government support, as soon as she has a new boyfriend. People who want to make abortion illegal should think about the ramifications more. You will have lots of single moms, who will NEED government support.

Fossil fuel companies can provide fuel without getting 30 billion per year
in subsidies. It's a massively profitable PRIVATE industry. If it's a private industry, that the voters have almost no control over, then why fund it with
public money? Are you a capitalist or not?

As a socialist, I want critical utilities, that are important for our survival, directly controlled by the voters. And I don't want public money going to private profits. When you let critical utilities be controlled by private owners, they can price gauge you, because even if they jack up the price to a ridiculous level, you cannot stop paying for something you need for your survival. If a restaurant would ask $80 for a nothing special hamburger, they would go out of business immediately, because of competition, but there is hardly any competition in the fossil fuel business. They are even allowed to make price agreements, in a cartel; OPEC. What other business is allowed to screw the customers like that?
You don't need the fossil fuel industry to be in good financial shape, you just need them to DELIVER, at a decent price. Instead, they are screwing you.

There is only one reason for why the oil industry gets their subsidies;
they donate lots of money to politicians, who thank them with your tax-dollars. It's their 15000% return on investment, and you are paying for it.

(30 billion / 200 million = 15000%)

Well the logic behind that is he is getting more brains for his money. DUH.If you are spending money don't you want the most you can get for it?

It is NOT Elon's fault people don't get a good education in a useful trade or industry. as a example off topic but same issue of dumb ass's in the wrong jobs, look at our cheif of navel operations in the usa, has a bachelors in journalism! NO MILITARY EXPERIANCE! DUH, that IS not good for the military.

See how easy you dismiss your own principles,
so some wealthy asshole can make more money?

"It is NOT Elon's fault" No, it's the fault of the people you vote for.

I’m not sure I understand your logic. I understand the best bang for your buck part.. but it’s not worth robbing your own future.
You have a foreign born billionaire stealing jobs from Americans and giving them to hired foreign workers.. and insulting your intelligence while he’s doing it. I thought part of Make America Great Again was about jobs for Americans. I don’t believe there isn’t enough Americans educated enough to do these jobs.. if there isn’t .. You would think, they would bring a few over to educate and train some.
I read that the visa’s include a clause that if they get fired, they are deported back home.. great way to control your employees.
By phart [Ignore] 03,Jan,25 16:00 other posts 
Nothing wrong with a company being in control of who works for it. The employees don't own or run the company, they WORK for it,period. I agree, it would really help make America great again if we had intelligent Americans coming out of our schools and colleges ready to go to work to make it great and make a great life for themselves .
But people don't even want to finish high school,or they borrow money to go to college when they had a c average and couldn't get a grant or scholarship. that's my point,why are people with below A grades trying to go to college and getting in debt for a degree in Theology and religion
Liberal arts
Leisure and hospitality
Early childhood education
Elementary education
Family and consumer sciences.
You can't get anywhere with those degrees.
Now get a degree in Nursing or engineering or finance, you will get a decent job and be making a real difference in peoples lives.
it's not rocket science. America wan't built by dumbass's but it is being run by them now.

well I guess.. as long as you're ok with him running the country too
"don't you want the most for YOUR money? we do."

NO YOU DON'T! Do I need to remind you that your private healthcare system
is the most expensive system in the world and it ranks 38th in the world for healthcare quality of care.

It's not just healthcare, it's EVERYTHING. In the US, everything is focused around maximizing private profits. That's the complete opposite of YOU,
as the customer/consumer, getting the most for your money.

or just read what you wanted.
Look at literally ALL the people Trump is going to put in charge.
None of them has ANY experience in the fields he appoints them to,
except for maybe experience in destroying the field they are going to lead.

He puts a billionaire in charge of government expenses, while that billionaire is making lots of money from government expenses.
They are probably going to cut healthcare expenses, under the leadership of Vivek, a criminal who stole money from pharmaceutical research investments.
RFK Jr. will oversee the Department of Health and Human Services, while the lunatic doesn't believe in modern medicine at all and believes AIDS doesn't exist.
Trump announced he will nominate Linda McMahon, a grossly unqualified candidate, as head of the Department of Education, who's only qualification is that she wants to destroy public education (the K-12 you boasted about).

I could go down the list, but that's a waste of time. They are ALL unqualified, criminals and/or lunatics. Find me one decent, qualified person, who is not appointed to destroy their own department, for their own gain, I dare you.

no tecsan, it wasn't a threat.. just a short simple answer to your question. I'd be interested to know why you thought it was a threat though.

No worries quint. Just sounded like an attack on Musk.
