    Because we won't talk about the fallout of our political policies during this crisis, just like 2008-09. Millions of families effectively homeless because we bailed out banks instead of people while convincing the population that it was the right move. Socialist policies for big business and hard core Capitalism for people. The affordability of housing exploded out of reach for millions and banks, like ticks on a blood filled host, grew fat on the blood of those millions of families they displaced. The worst part is the number of lives that will end because there isn't the time left to recover from such massive loss. It takes decades to come close to home ownership, now. In a land with far too few well-paying jobs, a stripped-down, job-only education system that mortgages decades of life, and an uncaring, individualist society blind to the reality is rotting her foundation from the inside.

    Six Strings America has always been one of the most generous nations on Earth when disaster, illness or famine strikes. We’re not perfect to be sure. With the cluster f’ck that Bush 43 created in Iraq and then Obama in Libya, we were ready to start looking inward, yet globalism has crippled this country. Unfortunately, as optimistic as I am, I don’t think we will ever fully come back from this. I also think that the people who’ve looked to blame America for everything wrong in the world, will rue the day they celebrated our decline. But whatever is to come we will meet the challenge.

    The Obama administration had all the precautions in place for this after it saw the H1N1 pandemic over a decade ago. It even left trump of a play book for what to do in regards of different pandemic types he didnt take it serious.over the last 3 years he short funded the cdc Budget, disbanded the pandemic an infectious diseases task force. Took money from all aspects of public health to fund his precious wall project. We had a woman who worked out of the us embassy in china for the cdc, she resigned in summer of 18 he didnt replace her after she resigned. All the proper mechanisms were in place but the orange gorilla didnt care. For ratings immigration wall money for my rich friends. This country was a great country before he took over. Now we have to rebuild our international image an unity amongst our people if possible

Or, if Americans who are deeply tide to their political affiliations (i.e., Republicans, Democrats) will vote a candidate who is a party outsider.

    The truth of the matter is that those claiming they have a choice to go back to work or not are not in a position to make that choice any longer. The truth is that the choice has been taken from them by debt and low wages. There is a game being played here, and has been being played for a long time by employers paying non-living wages and banks standing behind the employers to write loans to those employed, to write loans because the wages for most are too low not to go into debt to even get by at all. There is no freedom here. Anyone who believes we are free here is either part of the scheme, delusional, or perpetuating the scam we are living here for profit. People need to learn to think in this country instead of developing attitudes and beliefs that work to further the interests of those who do not have their best interests at heart. Americans need to stop thinking like ignorant beast of burden, and until they do that is all they will ever be.
