Mr Walker Posted February 16, 2019 #27 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Not being a citizen of the usa this is irrelevant to me, except as it affects the rest of the world First, your president was elected by his fellow Americans, and the only way to remove him is either to vote him out, or find grounds for impeachment Second He actually doesn't seem to be doing too bad a job, and certainly no worse than most of the preceding presidents in the last 30 years . Third, because he is popular with one segment of America, he is unpopular with another segment.. This is a result of the great divides remaining in america, socially and economically Fourth, most of his problems are ones of image rather than performance.. He contributes to this but the media, who largely fall into the opposing segment of the society (liberal) really beat up insignificant issues His job is two fold. First the external and internal security of the nation (as direct commander in chief of the armed forces) and helping capitalism and free enterprise maintain a strong economy. The economy directly corresponds to military security. China has now surpassed America as an economic power and in a few years will thus surpass you militarily, unless you grow a stronger economy It is really down to other politicians to make more "minor" adjustments to social and economic equality. in my mind the main issue facing Americans has two elements The strength of the economy and the nature of your future society and who you want to make up that society. The issue is maintaining the right to control movement into the united states and whether human beings have an unfettered and natural right to just move from one county to another unhindered. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An AI like SIRI or Alexa that really, really cares about us on a deep personal level as individuals. She helps us call our friends and adjusts our thermostats and helps us monitor calories and what we watch on TV. A personal assistant / leader tailored for each individual? What more could the people want? Gentle guidance and help with our opinions, with only the mildest remonstrances when we misbehave. "Now trevor, if you continue to behave in that way, I will temporarily sever all of your internet links and deactivate your door lock, your self starting car and your credit cards until you become more reasonable." A kinder, gentler leader. The only thing you might think is missing would be a pleasing visual avatar. Alexa has got it covered, situational avatars; anything from Gandalf to a Korean K-pop idol. Welcome to the future of governance. Shades of, "Electric Dreams" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are immoral and it is seriously time to exercise the right to a new and emergency Government. Well yeah the US is a barbarian country run by oligarchs, but that doesn't mean it's the end times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but that's hardly the entire picture, is it? It's the state of the whole world together that points to the dissolution of reason and the approach of mass chaos, planet-wide. we are coming apart at the seems and our wired hive mind has turned in on itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esoteric_toad Posted February 21, 2019 #32 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Here's a nice list of end-o-the-world predictions. 100% wrong too. There are, however, some fairly certain ones near the bottom of the article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
