The reality is, boomers and their offspring for various reasons felt really horrible about how minorities were treated in western nations and about colonialism and slavery. They sought equal rights for POC & That’s good, but to abandon merit based systems of promotion and success is ridiculous. The best people should move forward in every situation. If A POC is the better than his white counter-part then so be it, everything should be equal opportunity not forced outcome based on skin color, gender, sexuality ect.
That's impossible when the opportunities to even be prepared for opportunities is unequal. The children in San Francisco's most prestigious private schools (itself a function of wealth) aren't drinking leaded water like public school attending kids in Flint, Michigan.
There in lies government corruption, not to harp on easy prey but how can the usa fund hundreds Of billions of dollars in ukraine but not fix a problem that would cost a fraction of that, same with the border wall, homelessness, rehabilitationof drug addicts ect……. Our government is run by fools and corrupt politicians along with intelligence agency deep state people that dgaf about poor people here cz that’s not what makes money
I actually agree with you, even for some of the same reasons.
Wars are only fought for two reasons (usually) money and power
If you haven't, you should read Smedley Butler's War Is A Racket, which was written in 1935. US wars have been waged for bullshit reasons for at least a century.
Truth be told, most wars are for bs reasons, few wars are fought for valid reasons like liberation of oppressed people or fighting off aggressive nations. Hell Vikings raided Europe for centuries just for Catholic church gold and bad bitches lol
Michigan should get its shit together end vote for new leadership, however they vote in the same bs every year expecting things to change, replacing one corrupt democrat with another corrupt democrat. Look at the last two governors, there is nothing they have done to fix it, just broken bs promises. Meanwhile we fund billion dollar satellites to take pictures of pluto, something’s broken here and it’s not opportunity systems, its government
The question to ask is why they don't vote differently. It's too easy to say they're stupid, brainwashed, it's the deep state, it whatever. None of those actually helpful. How do you get stupid people to vote differently if you think they're too stupid to do so?
Instead, what's the Republican party offering in Michigan and why aren't voters taking it?
Fuck the rnc and the dnc we need people that are willing to do what’s right for the people and the country, not dinners and ceos at mega corps, im a registered republican, yes. But im not a trump guy, romney guy, none of that. Its about what’s right. I’ve written my dem congressman in ma about certain things and they got help fii out r my dad when he needed it. Its about what’s right. If u asking me what’s wrong with the rnc in Michigan it’s that it’s run by establishment fools and scam artists who take peoples money and don’t deliver. Hopefully getting rhonna McDaniel out the rnc is a good start
