not actually produce anything. Their stocks were over-inflated by the excitement, and total lack of misunderstanding, of what the WWW was going to be.

The people going crazy with crypto lately did not learn anything from it.

well something happened where the people in charge wanted to take out crypo,

atleast have their fingers in it too.

I am guessing the latter will take care of any desire to want to get rid of
it just fine.

The second-leading donor to the DNC candidates in the 2022 cycle was that crypto-kid who was running FTX. FTX went down the tubes right at election
time and took most of the investor money with it. I am betting the DNC got theirs, though.

America is almost a fascist country now. You have the corporate world and the government working together to control the population. Look at how Big Tech has been censoring Conservatives to swing the election, and they have close ties with the Democrats.

I think its too late now for the USA. People won't "snap out" of it, you've already gone too far. The totalitarian state is already in place. Conservatives lost the culture war. They were too busy fighting for the rights of their enemies and screwing the working class over.

there's certainly a fight to be had, but americans are not like any
other people. all of us have the american spirit deep down.

things got out of control, but we went through some crazy times in the past 2+ years. for everything, there is an equal and opposite
reaction. that's how trump got elected. obama divided the country and threw us into a recession around 2008. people got sick of that shit
and that's how trump got in. all trump had to do was troll his way
into the presidency and he destroyed everyone.

right now pedophiles and mentally ill people are trying to take over
the country. but it only appears that it's right now. they've been working on it for a very long time. i saw it myself with my gf's
daughter in middle school.

like i said, for everything there is an equal and opposite reaction. people are sick of this stuff. even a worm will turn.

we have a man with dementia as president right now. he's a puppet. he
has very little true support. for him to get elected again there will have to be serious organized voter fraud, not just the individuals
trying to accomplish it like last time. ---

I hope your right. I think you're not, but I hope you are. Too much freedom has been lost. Most of us are too tied to the system, it has its hooks everywhere. Companies can enforce the status quo by firing any dissenter.

Personally, I think the USA is borderline Fascist now. There is a merger of state and corporate power. A loose coalition of Big Tech and other Big Business, the Media, those in political power (mostly the Democrats) are all basically working together to take away your freedom and ability to change anything. They're pushing a nation destroying agenda and implementing means to cancel anyone who isn't going along.

I'm not American, this is just how it looks to me as an outsider. It's all quite horrific. It ironic, almost a generation ago you were pushing for "regime change" in other countries, and now it seems that you need "regime change" there.

The recession was already starting to happen before Obama took office. I

eme

er hearing about it soon before George W Bush was about to leave office, and

my

tch?"

It actually started with the dot.com boom/crash before Bush took
office, as well as the housing market crash, the roots of which were taking hold before Bush took office, although it seemed to be going unnoticed by most.

There was a docu-drama, and docu-series, about the dot.com boom/bust sometime during the last 4-5 years that notes the link between the
dot.com crash, the housing market crash, and several other recession causing incidents that it either triggered or made worse.

The leaders of the Anglosphere during that time period were truly, truly awful.
John Howard went along with that shoddy Iraq war, ruined the Australian economy by making housing unaffordable for two whole generations of people. Tony Blair was a cretinous nation destroying war criminal arse who hated his own country and sought to replace it. No wonder things went tits-up.

well your media twists things over there, it always has.
everything craves balance. eventually it will sort out.

we also have a complicated system of checks and balances in our government with the different branches.

I hope so. Australia follows the USA in many ways, so if you become fascist, we'll follow. Australian companies follow the US pretty closely in terms of culture.

This is mostly from what I see of US media. Australia media doesn't really cover what is going on in the USA in much detail, well, the mainstrean news doesn't. Other website might comment, but that is all based in what information is reported out of the USA.

From what i understand from my australian friend, what the show over there about the usa in AU is very biased and sensationalized. there's one i like to watch on youtube that rips on biden all the time.
