    well I am not American so my actions are not the same as yours…

    In Spanish they have this saying “cada ladron juzga por su condicion”… which applies here. It basically means “a thief thinks everyone else is also thieving”… it says a lot more about you that your default assumption is that I do nothing even if I am calling for action

      I didnt actually write or say that you do nothing. I asked you what actions you think would work.

      Its because I have pretty much thought about all of this before. No action that I can come up with will lead to any change. But maybe you have better ideas.

        Fair, but what you wrote is kind of worse… you basically assumed nobody can do anything about this

          Yeah I dont think anyone can.

          Maybe someone proves me wrong.

            I’m certain no single person can fix this… but if somehow the USA goes into a General Strike, this regime won’t last a week
