Yes. You’re phrasing that like it’s some kind of gotcha, but this whole conversation started with me pointing out that we’d just be repeating our errors with the us but versus a different imperial polity.

Probably both tbh. The pessimistic view is being born out in practice right now.

A foreign power having far, far too much control over our economic possessions. Information is a resource; what they do with it is inconsequential, we have to stop giving it away to people simply because they’re our ‘trade partners’ right now.

I really, really don’t think they can.

that’s exactly what got us in this mess in the first place.

That’s too far. Just parcel out the east (well, some of the east) and west coast into separate nations and form an alliance with those ones. They should stay separate, at least until they can get over their gun and money craze.

yup. it’s successfully costing america its allies.

It’s not inappropriate though. I’ve been saying for years Canada should not be so closely allied with such a fickle country.

I’m no great fan of windows, but I have no issues reconnecting to bluetooth things. Kinda the opposite really, my phone and windows keep wanting to compete for who gets to be connected to my headset as soon as I turn it on, I have to make sure to turn off bluetooth when I’m done with it. I think the problem may be on your end in this case.

The American populace is comprised of a lot of very stupid, cowardly people. It’s been molded by decades of propaganda to make them into this. I am not surprised and I do not expect Americans to be able to get themselves out of this descent spiral.

Moral and social. I think in a sense these people are addicted to wealth, and we’ve failed them by not only allowing them to have so much of it, but by acting like it makes them better. Just like an addiction we shouldn’t expect them to get over it on their own.
