Polls: Society & Politics

Going to 3 different countries with 3 different currencies, is a logistical nightmare. Ideally a universal currency would be best, but it's not practical, so I think the next best option is regional currencies, something like the Eurozone. Especially countries that travelers often group together. Like all of East Asia should have one currency. All of SE Asia. All of the Levant and Egypt. All of the Persian Gulf States. All the Caucasus and Maghreb countries. Southern Africa. East Africa. The eastern Caribbean. etc, etc...

Do you guys like this idea?

Because, well, I don't know i feel like learning about the revolutionary war and civil war 20 times is a little unnecessary

Assume there's some way babies can grown in pods that meet all of their needs that still requires a sperm and egg. Would women be freer as a result of easier reproduction or would they lose status because their role has been diminished.

Every proud MAGA member has by now heard his slogan, "promises made, promises kept", right? And Trump has made so many promises by now, it's hard for use simple foreigners to keep tabs.

This question was inspired by Daniela1982, another true American! :-D

I have been remaining inside a lot unless I have to go out for food or essentials.

I went out to grab groceries. Keep in mind it is a Saturday evening. The sky had that summer haze and the sun was setting. It was almost silent. No one was interacting with each other. People were apathetic. It was almost dystopian.

I mentioned on another post I feel as if I am living in an alternate timeline. It shows how American society is socially torn and people have checked out. It is scary.

Political affiliation aside, just think about this.

These past two presidential terms, we have (and still do have) a geriatric person serving as the leader of the "free" world. Trump is nearly 80. A president is usually very busy, assumed to have a jam-packed schedule. There is a lot of moving parts and pieces, which can be overwhelming even for the average adult. There is great, bearing responsibility for a role of this magnitude. While there are many responsibilities that are delegated, there can be plenty of room for error or mismanagement.

Supposedly, the average life expectancy for a male in the US is around 76. Most elderly I have known have deteriorated around this age. Some military veterans who have aged have managed to maintain some mental sharpness. My former scoutmaster, who is now in his 80s and a former military veteran, has dementia and cannot even remember who I am. There are many risks, including a simple fall that can be devastating.

To me, common sense tells me something does not entirely add up.

Bringing politics back into the mix, yes, I voted for Trump these past 3 elections. Something just doesn't sit well with me today.

I think there is a lot of dire situations that are being shielded from the general public.

From what I can tell you for fact is everyone around me is experiencing immense stress and financial turmoil. Family units are deteriorating. Everyday essentials like food and shelter are squeezing people thin. People are very aggressive on the road. You can feel the squeeze and tension in the atmosphere. Chaos is becoming more obvious day by day. People have lost their ability to socialize and form meaningful connections.

I feel like I am in an alternate timeline of existence. Something is definitely not right.
