Democracy will not exist until actions speak louder than money
Jury nullification is the whole point of having jury trials. The people are always the final arbiter of justice in a democracy.

You lose EVERY election when you can't get anyone on the ballot who represents you. America has an illusion of choice, but no true representation for the people.

The biggest terrorist threat to America comes from their own president, who is actively terrorizing foreigners, immigrants, and US citizens alike.
Clinging on to foreign threats is stupid when the call is coming from inside the room.

America shits on international agreements and its security guarantees are worthless. For reference, see the Budapest Memorandum.

Nah, dude. Maybe the shooters thought that's what they were doing, but what they actually did was attack a bunch of random civilians celebrating Hanukkah.
Being Jewish does not mean a person is affiliated with or agrees with Israels genocide. That assumption is bigotry in itself.

If they were capable of that they wouldn't have made a story about a horrific tragedy in another country all about them.

No one will ever convince me that's not Donald Trump in drag.

This is the bit people don't get. People in power have been working toward this and laying the groundwork for generations now, and those who had the power to stop it chose or were compelled not to. They're taking the masks off now because that work is all done and institutions are fully corrupted.

America is lost so long as people believe that some people ought to have more human and civil rights than others.
Human rights are for everyone, or they are for no one. There is no middle ground.

I am fairly sure that AI as it is now could perform about half of my work tasks and streamline several others. I could easily see it reducing my team of eight to one or two in the next five years.
Right now is a fantastic time to consider retraining options before the whole thing goes poof.

It's probably time to switch to domestic crops. This is what happens when you alienate all of your former allies and trading partners.
It takes time and money for importers to alter supply chains to route around the damage that is America; they won't switch back just because you drop the tariffs.

Reality is that nobody can sanction a military super power. Even if you somehow succeed, the costs will be too high. You follow the rules they set so long as it is feasible.
We would all likely go along with bad terms. Unfortunately for everyone, America stopped following any rules at all.

Humanity already did that and called it, 'marriage.'
I think it is an important distinction that the 'slave' in this new scenario is more like a washing machine than a sentient being.

Damn. I guess we can sell our potash internationally and the Americans can let their people .... starve?
Well, I am sure it will be fine. They can just quintuple their production.

Stop travelling to fascist countries. This won't be a problem if there's no one taking flights to hell.

Contracts (and constitutions) are meaningless pieces of paper. They only matter when there's a court willing to interpret them faithfully and an authority willing to enforce them.

Is somebody hesitating to call America a terrorist state? Here, I will say it:
America is a terrorist state, and are systematically terrorizing both foreigners and their own people.

My thoughts are that it's obscene to provide equipment to fascists that we know damn well they will use to repress people.
This type of shit makes us complicit in their human rights abuses. It is not okay.
