    The US has become a very short-term individual interest focused country. There is no long term vision for the country, there is no care for their own citizens, only today's president's interest matter. Tomorrow doesnt exists. screw-the-future is their warmongering motto.

    This goes beyond the price of diesel. It is an attack on basic survivability of the nations that may depend on that reserves in the future.

    Never vote for a death cult.

      Also never vote for anyone who

      - is incapable of apologizing

      - has a history of abusive behavior

      - doesn't have a sense of humor, especially at their own expense

          It&#x27;s amazing what level of mental degradation seems to have spread among Americans that they keep forgetting that Biden wasn&#x27;t on the actual ballot.

          The problem of elected representatives being nearly or somewhat dead seems to be bipartisan; such as Feinstein(D) or McConnell(R).

            Nah....

            The problem is that to enter politics in the USA, you need to be _very_ wealthy. This tends to rule out younger people being abale to stand for election.

            By contrast, in the UK our last few prime ministers have included, as well as a few wealthy ones, the offspring of a telephone engineer (Burnham), a grocer (Thatcher), a toolmaker (Starmer) and a chap who ran a business flogging garden ornaments (Major).

            He was on the ballot in 2020, when he was already impaired and he was also kept in office when clearly not mentally fit.

              And at his most impaired, Biden was still, unquestionably, without the slightest shadow of a doubt, an infinitely better president for every American and the world.
