Who ever advised Trump on TARIFFS has done a huge disservice to Trump & all Americans. Trump does not even understand who pays his tariffs. Experts say the reciprocal tariffs were the work of a child. They have no logic, no strategy and will lead to higher costs, high inflation, and recession.
I have 10-year-old and 7-year-old grandsons whose lives will never be what I had wanted or envisioned. I am not an 'intellectual' and so I could not make a respectable argument about a person(s)' intentions or stupidity that made [him] 'destroy our future'. My belief - it was both from the beginni
The richest men in the world align themselves w autocratic regimes [now including the US] for personal enrichment. Are taking advantage of this environment, launching interference campaigns aimed to undermine democratic principles with little pushback…
That’s a heavy but important question. Whether it’s done with intent or ignorance, the end result is the same — a future that’s been compromised for generations to come.
Well, all the "young folks" that couldn't bother to vote will have repercussions. They don't get to blame the "Boomers" for fucking up the planet. By their inaction, they have doomed themselves.
I was saying this earlier. Even if they have an evil plan that was going to benefit them, there's about a 99% chance they end up screwing themselves too. 🙂
Dumb-ass humans have been doing it both ways forever. But especially egregious is them not taking the knowledge of climate change - which I first read about 35 years ago, and some knew before me - into account nearly enough.
It does not matter. My favorite is all the people that say things like history won’t be kind to them. Who gives a damn? We’re living in this dystopian nightmare now. History is written by the victors. They already are whitewashing all of our history.
When Republicans used to say dumb things, I'd often wonder if they were dumb or lying. I stopped caring mid way through Trump's 1st term bc it didn't matter which.

Schooley!!!!!! You're here. My abrupt Twitter shutdown months ago meant I lost contact with a few of the most meaningful writers. And well, I'm so delighted a connection reposted you. I appreciate you
Well, it's definitely intentional, despite the monumental incompetence on display.

America is experiencing the convergence of the divergence of Greed and, has entered the vortex of selfishness whose walls are made with Idiocy that is blind to the humanity of humanity.

I don't understand why they states that did not vote for Trump simply are not treating this as an invasion of a force on their territory trying to kill them, because that is what is happening, and the longer they wait the more will die over time as a result.
It never mattered, and that's part of what our culture got wrong; stupidity has never existed to simply be tolerated. Instead of respecting stupid perspectives, we should have been challenging them, but it comes with the social cost because nobody likes that. However, we grew to eschew discernment.
As a culture, we lack a proper conceptual framework by which to ponder the consequences of human stupidity. Fortunately Italian economic historian Carlo Maria Cipolla constructed one in the mid 1970s, so we won't need to start from scratch.
I often think about how much easier must life be for stupid people. I think us above average IQ people get frustrated by how stupid people are. I worry about everything, constantly considering pros and cons, and blown away by other's stupidity
You are more than intelligent by this description though, you are also moral, ethical, and mindful; intelligent people do not necessarily express these traits, although I suppose I have to admit appeal to the idea that we do at least in greater proportions
When the denial breaks and the narrative starts to accurately reflect that #agentKrasnov is destroying government and democracy, and crashing the world economy because master Putin's economy is up against the ropes.
It's really hard to tell the difference with authoritarianism. How many of the horrible outcomes of Ida Amin rule was due to rational means-ends decision making with insane ends and how much due to badly chosen means to achieve rational ends.

Shows how easily they are manipulated.

Because people too stupid to realize they did it, are too stupid to fix it.
That's scarier.

Because it's always-always both incompetence and malice.
The question now is:
When will Republicans in Congress make that decision?
