Trump will inherent all the work Biden’s administration did and some Trump policies will create short term boom. This is what a lot of people will notice.
The tough times will come a little later.

Your system is insane.

As a Brit looking at this, my first reaction to the picture was “queueing?” - we never have to queue to vote here. Polling stations feel like they outnumber voters sometimes…

Mineis also base 16 and goes to 10. Which one is louder?

Sales executive. Paid more than engineers, is substantially dumber.

Yes but they get the same amount regardless of the fines. The police see no direct financial connection.
- Comment on There you go little guy 1 month ago:
In the UK (Where the op picture is) the police cannot collect the revenue from cameras and other fines. It all goes to the gov so the cops have zero financial incentive to install speed cameras.

Virtually no one could afford air travel prior to the 1960s, that’s a very large part of my point. It got affordable in the 70s and very affordable in the 80s.

They were and still are given a choice. I cam fly to New York on British Airways first class or Easyjet. Consumers consistently choose the cheapest headline price.

Like you’re some Greta Thumberg trying to make a valid point.

Concorde wasn’t far off that sort of speed. But it was too expensive. Such speeds will probably return in some form one day.
- Comment on Why do we put up with this crap? 3 months ago:
Planes are three times faster, five times longer range and 95% cheaper per mile, in real terms, than those early days.
The consumer was given the choice and they chose this. Honestly, air travel is great.
Yes, capitalism sucks. I hate being nickle and dimed for hand luggage, lottery tickets, snacks, hidden booking fees and all that shit. Some gentle regulations would be really nice.
