Americans, naive do-gooders....

Post by Tero » Fri Jul 04, 2014 3:35 pm

...who want to help the world, which often does not want that help.

Now frustrated with America itself. Time to fix America? At least they will stay out of trouble abroad with that project:

Wouldn't like to sum up a nation, especially one with such polarisations of wealth and diversity of ethnicities? America is a name for a larger issue, the surfeit of a particular fiat currency and the destruction of wealth via the printing press. Once the dollar collapse begins then the USA will break apart, it's mythic past forgotten in the haze of a dramatic real historic process in the present.

Thanks, I was worried. Fall apart, no problem. I'll just store canned food and water filtration devices.

Stay away from major population centres for a few years(at least five maybe ten or more) whilst the worst phase of the coming famine leads to cannibalism and walking dead scenarios. :whisper:

Ammo, toilet paper and tailor mades. That's the currency of the future. You read it here first.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Try around Alaska? not inside it....though, some preppers already fully armed there.

Back to the first post, Murricans want the mythical Smith of the old movie to lead them. They do not actually care or understand about left and right so much. And because corporations fund both the left and right, they are partly right.
The study asked Americans about a hypothetical election among former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D), New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) and "Candidate Smith," who ran on a platform of fundamental reform. Smith won in a landslide, taking more votes than Clinton and Christie combined -- 55, 24 and 12 percent, respectively.

Americans were surveyed about more than just their preferred presidential candidate, however. The survey also asked about their level of trust in government, the degree to which they felt politicians cared about mainstream Americans and their outlook for the future.

Seventy-nine percent said they trust the government to do what is right only some of the time, with as few as 15 percent having faith in the government to do what is right most of the time or just about always.

The long-running American National Election Studies has been asking similar questions for years. When presented with the statement, "Politicians really care about people like me," 75 percent in its 2013 poll disagreed, the highest percentage since 1952 when ANES began asking this question. Ten years ago, only 50 percent disagreed with that statement.
