    Economically, how can concerned Americans prepare for the worst?

    Jump

  • From my viewpoint, Trump is and will be causing social hardship much more than economic hardship.

    I could possibly see a benefit in preparing for a harder times socially. Further division among neighbors might be the main casualty of this administration. Social cohesion is already struggling from his first four years.

    Economically, I have no confidence in Trump's actions overall, but I am very confident that his massive ego determines his actions, and that ego is largely held up by the performance of the stock market. He will be very careful not to take any action that will rattle the markets too much. Whenever he see a negative reaction in the markets, he pulls back, claims a moral victory and moves on to the next thing.

    Does the US really have no instruments in case a newly elected president immediatelly and openly exposes he's a nazi?

    Jump

  • Didn't say he was. Just saying if he did such crazy things that even the crazies drop out, he could be removed. That's extremely hard in the US. You're basically stuck with the moron for four years.

  • And that's the problem with the US election system. In basically any other developed democracy, there are ways to call a new special election. The four years are often the max between elections, not the minimum.

    If a new leader proves unpopular, you toss them out and install a new one.

  • To what extent is this accurate?

    Jump

  • Generally speaking, wealth is not built by working. It's built by investing. It's possible to have a relatively small salary and get relatively wealthy if you consistently live below your means and invest the surplus. Power of compounding.

  • How do I realistically get out of the US?

    Jump

  • Go as a student and find a spouse while you're there for the easiest way to stay after you're done with school.

  • The cost of college in USA makes no sense anymore

    Jump

  • This is exactly it. The degree is the gatekeeper.

  • Those who live outside of the US, what's something Americans aren't ready to hear?

    Jump

  • This is absolutely true, but I do think that a lot of Americans are in fact ready to hear this. There is just a lot of money and power involved. And those with money and power don't want to change it since it won't improve their lives. There's also religion involved. And many Republicans are religious and have been fooled into thinking that universal healthcare is all about allowing abortion.

  • Justice should be equal

    Jump

  • And now that Republicans are set to have the Presidency, Congress and SCOTUS all at the same time, there doesn't seem to be any barriers left.

    Abolish capital punishment!

  • Is canceling student loan debt considered stealing?

    Jump

  • But, assuming that this is in the US, one of the major parties relies on keeping people uneducated, so they don't want people to pursue higher education. And certainly do not support cancelling student debt.

  • My thought is that you should find a different class with a different teacher.

  • What are your thoughts on billionaires?

    Jump

  • I don't think it's fair. A billionaire only needs one pillow like everyone else. And there are a lot of people starving in this world.

  • TikTok set to be banned in the US after losing appeal

    Jump

  • Dude, the US based social media platforms are no better than TikTok. Its all rotten to the core. X is a great example of this.

  • I wish all food could be as good as pizza.

    Jump

  • Lol. Yeah, that's not what French food is, but ok.

  • I wish all food could be as good as pizza.

    Jump

  • I like French food better. But it doesn't really matter. Taste in food is highly subjective.

  • I wish all food could be as good as pizza.

    Jump

  • I love pizza, but there's a lot of food that's better, imo.

  • What temperature do you keep your house at during winter?

    Jump

  • I would feel so uncomfortable at 26C inside. 21 at most for me.

  • Irreligious people, what's it like having kids when your parents are religious?

    Jump

  • I guess you just live in a very different world than me. I would never let my parents dictate my life like that. They either accept me for who I am or they don't get to be part of my life. I would also never try to dictate life for my own kids like that when they are adult human beings.

  • Irreligious people, what's it like having kids when your parents are religious?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure why you let your parents be the deciding factor in whether you have kids or not? It's not up to them.

  • Why the Electoral College is Worthless

    Jump

  • The EC is not democracy.

    Non-religious Republicans of Lemmy, how do you reconcile your non-religious convictions with a party that bases a lot of its policies on religion?

    Lemmings who downvote news posts because you disagree with the conclusions, why?
