But mankind seems to "want" a leader. Even very primitive clans
in New
Guinea.
Yep. Some of the worst dictators were hatched during times when
things looked grim. Economic depressions, wars, droughts, invasions,
plagues, crop failures, etc all provide real or potential
dictators as
a solution to the problems.
"Just give me control of everything and I'll fix everything".
Whatever the cause, bad times seem to give the people a reason to
give
power to dictators instead of allowing the chronically ineffective
committees to hammer out a workable compromise.
What I find amusing is how the US leadership is using such
problems to
promote their agenda. Going into 2024, the economy was in good
shape,
unemployment was tolerable, inflation was a problem which could be
solved and there was no crisis available that needed a dictator to
solve. The Trump/Musk solution was to create a crisis that only a
genuine dictator could solve. They begin to dismantle the federal
government in the name of "efficiency". They continue to destroy the
federal government until it is completely ineffective (and therefore
efficient). In other words, they create a situation from which
only a
fearless leader can save the country. Of course, the only available
dictators available are Trump and Musk who will surely offer their
services to fix the problems they had caused.
Or maybe the individual states secede from the union in disgust and
form their own independent states. Instant balkanization.
Wake me up when the nightmare is over:

Going into 2024, the USA was deep into debt and rapidly going deeper.
Yup, The big acceleration started under the Bush administration with the
TARP act, continued along the same trend then eased slightly under
Obama, took another sharp increase under trump (covid pandemic) the
eased again slightly under Biden. Trump added more non-covid debt that
the entire debt added by Biden.

Crime was rampant and criminals were being turned loose to commit
another crime.
nope, just more magatard pabulum

Drugs were killing people at an astounding rate.
Astounding, yes, but on the decline under Biden

Billions of dollars were being spent to take care of the influx of
illegals.
Yup, and now billions are being sent to expel them. Let's watch the
price of fruit the next harvest season.
The government is spending billions of dollars to lease
unused building.
Yup, about 2 according to the GAO.

The USA is sending billions of dollars to unknown
people in foreign countries while we have people living in makeshift
shelters on the streets.
And if we spent money on the homeless here, you'd bitch about that too.
The President of the USA had no idea what his
handlers were signing into law with a signing machine.
Yup

Men were
allowed to invade women's athletics and wave their dicks around at
them in locker rooms.
No, they weren't.
Wars were killing people all around the globe.
Which continues unabated

World leaders who want to destroy the USA are on the verge of getting
nuclear weapons.
The same usual suspects for decades. Nothing new.
Yeah sure, things were in good shape?
Better than now, with an unelected billionaire taking over government
buildings by force.

We'll see how happy you are when Musk decides you don't deserve your
social security or medicare.
Apparently, the far left media still has a few followers.
Yup, those of us who chose not to live in a world of willful ignorance
and propaganda sanitized with right-wing spunk.
Saw a YouTube by an American who has lived in London for a good while,
pointing out the desperation attempts to find someone anyone who will say
bad things about the London Congestion charge, as Newyork is planning on or
has just started it?

As he notes it’s just not a thing in london, hence the American news media
had to really search and reach to find people who wouldn’t just say “Meh” I
think I might have had to pay it once?
Driving in is just a silly idea unless it’s very much off peak, early
Sunday is best bet!
Beyond that driving in is just painful! Let alone the cost of parking! I’m
not saying public transportation isn’t expensive and busy but lesser of two
evils, hence there is well established bike route, from Richmond Park to
City of London (which is its own thing) or Canary Wharf which existed long
before any cycleways where installed.
New York appears to be a similar size though how good its public transport
is? It appears to be more car centric but not been there for decades and
only as tourist! And as I can’t use underground transport unlikely to be of
much use!
