"Government work" is a cute euphemism for world's richest man tearing down established systems for only his benefit, corporate nterests, and power gain. Fake ass department only furthering the corporatacracy of America. Majority of Trump voters were under the impression that they were voting for a better economy and reduced prices, not this insane shit.

Trump tonguing Putin's ass, what else is new.

Umm, what? The one running the government, the world's richest man and someone who wasn't elected, isn't a bad thing? If roles were reversed and it was a powerful billionaire in the oval office with Biden as president, conservatards would be crying and bitching and moaning and whining 24/7 like the little snowflakes they are. Call a spade a spade. Oligarchy is bad. Inflation is going up when prior to this, it was steady. Those are facts, jack.

To be fair, I did see recently where his poll numbers looked good for him. But I feel like polls have been deceiving in recent years, and presidents tend to have more favorable poll numbers when they first take office in the first couple of months.

Yeah, I don't think so, pal. Nice try. Venezuelans, Palestinians who voted for him are quite well documented of regretting it. Even people that you would think would be loyal to him no matter what are regretting it. https://bsky.app/profile/sundaedivine.bsky.social/post/3lhxvfv3bys2c Show evidence that people are "slowly converting" to his side, because nothing I've seen suggests it.

Trump has his highest approval rating ever, most Americans saying they love his policy. This country is so fucked 😂

It's what the American people wanted, clearly.

A million American lives were killed in a year from a pandemic, meanwhile Trump was telling people to eat lysol and inject horse tranquilizers. Oh and like a miracle, it was just going to disappear one month into the pandemic, according to him. Americans love having stockholm syndrome I suppose, why else would they vote for that type of governance yet again so soon.

Egg prices are at an all time high, lads. What gives? I thought that's why he was elected president, to bring down grocery prices on day 1? Did most Americans really fall for that and thinking inflation was actually a problem? Hilarious.

The corruption is happening far faster than I expected! I thought a lot of it was just political theater, but nope. They're all in on tearing down the fabric of this country.

When someone tells you who they are (or in this case, shows you), then you should believe them.

Just reading back on this thread. Has Elon done more net good for the world vs. doing net bad? EV cars and rockets... yeah, thank you. But there is deep environmental pressure for an alternative to fossil fuels, and while Elon does deserve his flowers for the greater society moving towards electric vehicles, the world was reaching a boiling point where we HAD to find an alternative or risk extinction. Yes, Elon capitalized on the pressures, but I'll echo that if it wasn't going to be him, it would have been somebody else due to the pressure of the situation and an open market. The bad is that he's enforcing corruption, lies, censorship while claiming to be "free speech", brainwashing, and egocentricism. You don't want to tell your children to be like Elon. Becuase he's a very lonely, narcissistic insanely rich man. I feel like he's overall influencing the world in a net toxic and detrimental way. If he'd have just stayed in the shadows and been the rocket and EV man, we'd probably see him as a lovable billionaire. But his political shenanigans just spotlight how much corruption can negatively impact otherwise good intentions.

Yeah I mean, I should stop being surprised that society is full of single digit IQ voters.

He's going to cure himself?

This dude wrote the book on narcissism. It's like bro, just go away, we don't care about you.

I don't care if TikTok is China, American, or wherever the hell, it is Grade A brainrot. All other social media platforms need to be banned as well.

History will be kinder about his presidency than the mainstream zeitgeist was. Luckily it started to trend that way while he was still alive, a testament to how freaking old he was! RIP Jimmy, an example of a true American patriot and humanitarian.

"No way to prevent this, says only nation where this regularly happens."

Who the f cares about this

I've read that his classmates that went to private school with him said he never studied or was serious, and still aced his tests and became valedictorian. I never said he had common sense, though. Him sitting down and eating at a restaraunt at all while the heat was on was pretty stupid and crass.

While it doesn't excuse his actions because lots of other people are suffering and don't murder, I'm sure his excruciating physical back pain had an effect on his mental health. By all accounts, he was a normally functioning dude for most of his life. He cared about his studies and making a positive impact on the world with his privilege, which was admirable. But somewhere along the way, and likely attributed to his mental and physical trauma, he became corrupt and sought revenge to alleviate the pain. He seemed to have quite a high IQ, and sometimes those people can be deadly when they funnel their rage and intelligence into one chaotic package. There's a reason he admired the unabomber, who also had a very high IQ.

Correct, but at least in the short term, it reduces suffering. I get it, if you squash one roach, it won't solve your problem when you have a whole colony of roaches infesting your house. What makes healthcare agencies/executives particularly more tricky to fight back against is that you simply can't not buy their products. If I'm mad at Pepsi, I'll just stop buying Pepsi products. Problem is, everyone needs healthcare for survival, which makes the crookedness of that business more pressure packed and personal for the majority of people.

I wouldn't be so sure that this didn't have an immediate effect. https://www.npr.org/2024/12/05/nx-s1-5217617/blue-cross-blue-shield-anesthesia-anthem Almost immediately after this murder, Anthem reverses their anesthesia time limit decision. Of course, this could have been planned to be announced regardless due to public backlash, but the timing of it sure was conspicuous.

Pretty interesting read on the background of the suspect. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/nyregion/united-healthcare-ceo-shooting-luigi-mangione.html It seems he had a bad back and was consistently in a lot of physical pain. Makes sense why he would throw away seemingly a luxurious life, the dude was suffering physically which likely contributed to mentally.
