Trump controls a cult, that’s why.

Cult leaders can get their followers to do anything and the followers will forgive the leader for anything, including felonies. They will dismiss any criticism of the leader as lies or made up to hurt the leader politically. No matter how true the criticism might be.

At the end of the day, it’s very much like the relationship between religious worshippers and their god.

Your error: Voting for a person, not policy. There.

Don’t know about you, but I vote for policy, not a person. But you do what a lot of Americans do, vote for a personality, and that’s why Americans seem significantly dumber than the average world citizen.

Trump is 3 years younger. Biden may outlive him by 10 years for all we know.

his voice was weak, he stumbled over making coherent sentence multiple times, and he just had a blank, open-mouthed stare when between questions.

And apparently that matters more than the blatant lies and non-answers coming from the other side. Gotta say, Americans do seem significantly dumber than the average world citizen.

Either way it seems right now you need a hard reset.

Yet, half the country seems to be choosing to go back to Trump. There’s no cure for stupid.

Living in the US, I see on a daily basis the indifference to climate. It’s been heavily politicized. One side cares a little, the other side does not care one bit. It’s very sad to see.

I also lived in Europe for many years where climate is less politicized and more mainstream. Most people try to do their best to contribute regardless of their political preferences. It’s a big difference to what I see in the US.

I know that you probably get a tax deduction for it, but stories like these are still just crazy to me. These things should be taken care of by the school district, not the individual teachers. Wow.

I understand the history and cost-related benefits to home buying. I just couldn’t live in that kind of conservative political climate.

Great. Just remember that having to deal with the Alabama Supreme Court carries an additional cost.

Without all the crud from the outside.

Tried slippers?

So, how often do you wash the floors?

Been in both the healthcare systems of the US and several European healthcare systems for many years.

I honestly don’t know why Americans accept their healthcare system. It’s insane. Everyone’s worried about healthcare all the time. People pay excessively out of pocket for almost no coverage. And God forbid you get sick. Not only will you have to deal with the illness, you’re also staring down a possible bankruptcy.

Edit: In Europe, you just go to the emergency room or the doc or the hospital. No need to look up anything. In most places you have a small healthcare ID card that you show when you check in. Many systems don’t have any co-pays or deductibles. You just go and done. Some systems have a small co-pay for hospital stays or other services. In Germany, the co-pay for a hospital stay is €10 per day with a max of €280 per calendar year. In Denmark, there are no co-pays or deductibles for any healthcare service except dental. In Germany, most dental services are included without co-pays.

If you’re an EU citizen and you need medical care in a different EU country than where you reside, you have a special EU health card that gives you the right to the same healthcare services as a citizen of the country where you are seeking treatment.

Big shout-out and thanks to the EU for being the only major political entity trying to actually make an effort.

In general, people eating are just not appetizing to watch.

I love Firefox. Don’t screw it up, Mozilla.

Most stuff mentioned here is from artists few people know. We need the big names to step up and take a stand.

Makes sense. But also sad that’s the way Americans have to live.

I thought a yearly mammogram was always covered with insurance after the ACA was passed? Or maybe that’s only after a certain age?
