    $1.7 BILlON to ONE GUY for failing spectacularly in a country where people are rationing their insulin and six-year olds are being publicly shamed for school lunch debt. If people can look away from Trump for just one second, they’d see he’s just one symptom of a crumbling order.https://twitter.com/WSJ/status/1186618318473584640 …

        I get all the issues with Trump. There is nuclear authority and much else. No joke. But the more respectable adults who don’t erratically tweet and don’t speak in run-on sentences who led us for decades before 2016 have set this up. Sooner we realize this, sooner we can dig out.

        He is a symptom that is large and problematic and very much in the way of addressing any issues that require smart national policies. Gets in the way of progressive state moves, also, via court rulings, Executive Orders, etc. trump's not the only problem but he is a big one.

        This is where we are--making money invading privacy by catering to fear and not having to show that the "solutions" are actually effective. https://twitter.com/loisbeckett/status/1186516153331355648 … Sure, that makes America great. Enriches a few, at least. Sounds a lot like🇨🇳.

        Are you sure it’s “crumbling”? Some aspects of it seem to be entrenching.

        I will guarantee I can run any company into the ground for approximately one-thousandth of that price, in exactly one year. Let the CEO role bidding wars commence!
