        Disagree, but I understand the viewpoint.

        We’ve been trained to believe that the government is slow and unable to progress rapidly. This has been a tool to worsen everyone’s lives and stymie progress.

        The government can make changes rapidly. It choses not to, except to benefit the agendas of the rich. See this administration.

        You’ll never convince me that we have the power to bomb anything on the planet, but are unable to fill potholes and raise minimum wage

          Not just the local stuff - the brain drain, rebuilding the trust of allies, etc.

    Trump’s pool guy… So I’m sure there’s no way that the deal is: you get 6x the estimate paid for by taxpayers, I get your services for free/reduced rate at my hotels.

    Corruption from this administration?? Never.
