    Another day another issue that completely doesn’t matter at all to distract from the fact that our politicians are incapable of actually fixing any of our problems.

      incapable of actually fixing

      Or making them worse. He just upped taxes on the lower classes and gave the rich tax breaks… again.

        I think you’re overestimating humans. Even if we actually attempted to solve all of our problems I seriously doubt we can. I do wonder how much better things could be though.

          What are you talking about? Oligarchs are living their best lives right now. Trump is in office and there is nothing that is not up for sale. If you have big money right now, the US is your oyster. Bend the knee, kiss the ring and grease the palm. You’ll walk away with your own fiefdom. Pay a bit more and he’ll rent an office in the White House.

      They’re not incapable, they just don’t care. They’re your problems after all, not theirs.
