Questions: Society & Politics

P. S You're tripping if you think Trump is as smart as Obama haha, other than just hearing them talk, Pete Davidson spent time with him and said the man can't even really read. I think Biden is intelligent as well, people just hated on him because he was getting older and forgot stuff from time to time and studdered. I have also heard people say that they think Bush isn't that smart, and someone who has been on a call said they don't get the hate for him because he's funny, has personality, and so on.

Trump has lost more manufacturing jobs than gained with Tariffs. With Supreme Court about to rule against him and make him give back what little he has brought in with Tatiffs. You do understand even if Tariffs worked Americans don't buy American made products because they are higher. That is why American Compnaies left in the first place , cheaper labor. You must pay Americans more money , include paid days off, more for Holidays , sick leave, insurance, and pay unemployment insurance. (By the way even with Tariffs it is cheaper to still make products in foreign countries). Plus Trump said Americans are not up to the task for manufacturing and wants foreign workers to those jobs (real reason is that foreign workers work for less). Plus you have AI/Robots for routine manufacturing. SO not many jobs for Americans created and Price will still be higher than foreign products. This is why it won't work.

By the way unemployment just went up over 4% with fixed stats , it is really 20% unemployment. You can look at Debt clock page and look at who is working and who isn't.

Well 4 Supremes are a YES for sure and 3 are NO's for sure. Just Leaves two on fence and from the questions they were asking it sounded like they were Yes votes. So Court will rule 6 to 3 Trump no longer can set Tariffs from Executive Branch. Constitution says that is Congresses JOB.

He didn't really want House or Senate to release Epstein Files and they defied him. Now both Democrtas and Republicans want to know why Trump killed innocent fisherman in boats off

coast of Venez. Are Republicans putting distance between them and Trump to even have a chance of winning in 2026? It looks like it.

I say no. Venez did nothing to US. US started the sanctions with them. No drugs come from Venez to US. Everyone knows that is Bull Shit unless they are stupid. If US attacks Venez then US can't say one thing if China takes Taiwan.

I came across this news post in my feed today. This situation is in Virginia, although, I live in Tennessee and can see this happening here too. No one gives a shit about fire and emergency services anymore.

In summary, that county's administrator had this rural volunteer fire department shut down due to mismanagement and lack of certification. I wholeheartedly agree with that part, but instead of reforming a fire department/station and restoring fire services to that community, the county administrator decides to bulldoze the building for a new Dollar General store, leaving that community with less resources and relying on surrounding agencies.

There is a somewhat similar crooked situation in this rural community of Tennessee with a corrupt volunteer fire department that fails to be investigated, disciplined, or dissolved by the state or county. It is still continuing to operate with unsafe equipment and corrupt leadership with county leaders turning a blind eye. The area is 20 or more minutes from the nearest ambulance, and despite pleas to establish a first responder program for the area, those pleas go ignored.

Are you happy? What will she do next?

I happen to take this matter personally because of what happened to me.

When I was 20, I met this 16 year old girl online on an adult dating app. We really hit it off, and we began conversing for a series of months. We both researched the age of consent in her state, and found that it was 16. I drove to meet her, and we had a date. Things got intense later, and we ended up having sex. It ended up only being a weekend fling because she didn't want to pursue a romantic relationship with me. I was heartbroken. We had a dispute weeks later, and she never wanted to speak to me again.

7 months later while at my college dorm, I made an idiotic decision to drive back to her state to apologize and win her heart again. I was met at the door by her father, who was unhappy to see me to say the least. I shook his hand and agreed to cut complete contact. As I went back to my hotel, the police knocked on my door and arrested me. Fast forwarding, I was sentenced to 3 years supervised probation. The collateral damages were just as bad if not worse, as I lost my EMT license and my career.

The reason why I bring this up is because if this were to happen to someone who was elite, had money, or had high influential status, they would have likely just received a slap on the wrist or not have been touched at all by the law.

Instead, an average everyday person, let alone a young 20/21 year old trying to pursue love at that time, had his entire reputation and livelihood destroyed.

These elitist bastards flew 14 year old girls on an island, passed them around as casual sex dolls, and they get away with it completely unscathed. It's sick.

Now that I am 31 and married, I look back in hindsight with regret and sadness I became so desperate. I was young and dumb. But I am even more angry at the devastation it caused for so many years when, meanwhile, elitists just continue to thrive and get away with high-profile crimes.

Let's say you take 1,000 random men and 1,000 random women. Then you teach them the rules of chess. Then they play many many times against one another. Would each gender win roughly equally?
