  • “Deeply concerned.” How reassuring.

    I still don’t want to think he’s a bad person, but for me, why he is a bad person is because zero “too-big-to-fail” CEOs went to jail during the immediate aftermath of the '08 crisis.

    He could’ve nationalized the banks that were underwater. Even temporarily. The DoJ had ample evidence, precedent, and prosecutorial room to make heads roll. He was the one person who had power to do so. “Yes, we can!” became “No, I won’t.”

    He’s not the only one in my lifetime to screw the American people, but as a young 25-year-old man, his betrayal stung the most in the wreckage of 2008 into '09. I voted for him. I thought I genuinely liked him.

    When it came down to it, he’s actually like all the rest. Socialize the losses; privatize the gains.

    Eat the billionaires. Sic semper tyrannis.







  • What’s your geopolitical cure for this? What foreign/military policy change from the U.S. government would sit well with you regarding this issue? I’m interested to hear it.

    Should the US invade Afghanistan again?

    Because as an American, I care very much, but I’m reluctant to go over to Afghanistan and fight an armed insurgency against the Taliban without an imminent NATO re-invasion planned after what will likely have to be months of guerrilla warfare to free the women of Afghanistan.

    Oh wait, I remember now, “Americans dumb, ha ha.”
