Mark was never a source of good in this world.

The economy was predicted to do worse under Trump, as was/is inflation and housing prices.

What absolute fucking dumbasses voted for this guy for economic reasons?

Posts like this one are chasing people away from Lemmy.

Lemmy’s search is dogshit… It’s my number one problem with this place. And this is the ONLY place I use these days.

Hah! That’s a very good point. Why make a bar chart if it’s not even showcasing the correct values, which in this case actually helps the message?

The quality has also fallen dramatically. I used to like their standard hamburgers (the little ones), but the buns are leathery these days, and the meat seems smaller than it used to be.

As an American, I’m not convinced we can be anything close to the greatest country. We are incapable of solving massive problems that should be abundantly obvious. And it’s not just the government, it’s also a huge number of dumb civilians that don’t want to educate themselves on how our own systems are failing.

Okay, but they aren’t literally required by law. You’re just making a case for them being a necessity not everyone truly wants.

Plenty of people don’t own vehicles, and they are not getting in trouble with our legal system for simply making that choice.

They are also necessities, unless you have a very specific job in a large, or otherwise very specific city. Their adoption has created expectations, particularly amongst employers.

It’s not half. Though, you could say only a third of us seem to care about the fact.

59% of eligible voters participated in the last election. Trump actually lost votes compared to 2020, but THAT many people didn’t show up last November.

Americans are 100% aware of this. I’ve never owned an American car in my life.

Yeah, and the right side of our government is now trying to cover up and bury that entire segment of our history. It’s absolutely insane what they are doing.

Honestly, speaking as an American, there’s kind of endless examples of us doing most things worse. Healthcare, democracy, workers rights, our “justice” system, incarceration… The list goes on and on.

This one is far more complicated than non-americans think. I’ve spoken to people outside the country, and they tend to only listen to the really dumb democrats when it comes to this issue.

You can’t close Pandora’s box. There are 393 million guns in the hands of civilians here. If you have a crazy neighbor with a gun, you kind of have to go get one yourself. That, or devise another method of viable self defense. The cops won’t help you, not in virtually any situation.

Yeah, anyone with a brain knows this… So, like, between 33-66% of the country.

Yeah, most of us in the U.S. don’t think this way. This is just republicans, and they aren’t really here on Lemmy.

This isn’t even remotely surprising. Apple has been a shitty company for well over a decade.

Good thing there aren’t similar objects like that robot out there, like wheeled humans.

I prefer Windows.

This assumes a single person inherits everything. In reality, it’d be quickly distributed for every billy that dies.
