    I mean, anyone with common sense and a feel for how things are, knows we’re lagging behind. Still, some folks need to see the evidence to be convinced. Now we have no evidence. I don’t know where you got the impression we’re only falling behind because of Trump. We’re a liberal capitalist society. Us common people were always going to be left behind in a system that only cares about the elites and the rich willing to exploit their fellow humans. We revere demons like Jack Welch who are the reason we’ve lost our edge.

    Unlike most folks I think this is good. I wish we didn’t have to suffer to get the point across, but we’re too stubborn to make the right choices without negative stimuli. Now we see how bad it gets until the idiots among us wake from their stupor.
