    No, I believe Americans are America’s problem. Just look at what leadership Americans prefer.

      Translation: I know nothing about Americans or the American electoral system and have decided to blame the victims.

        Then look at it from outside of America of you don’t understand the inner working.

        If you’re an ally of America or make a deal with America, every 4 years they may elect a Trump

    The problem Roosevelt was facing was unemployment. Our problem is inflation and the debt.

    We’re much more in need of anti-trust enforcement. Productivity is much higher now than at any point in history, but all of the wealth it creates is stolen and hoarded by a very small number of greedy people.

    Freeing that up and putting it in the hands of the people would give all of us a high standard of living. Putting a fraction of it into public funding to mitigate the effects of climate change would also support this.

      This we’ve done a full 180 back to the robber baron era of the 19 hundreds but supercharged for the modern age. America is like history wtf is that because one day I will also be rich and wish to run over peaons in the street, or in the case of musk and Trump, sexually assault and starve children with no consequences.
