While this may be true for a lot of Americans, plenty are essentially trapped. Our education system basically ensures that we don’t have the language skills or cultural understanding to get a decent job in most any other country. And the work style that has been drilled into us since birth isn’t welcome in most other countries either.

Many of us have kids born before this path was clearly the way things are going. I wouldn’t choose to have kids these days in the US unless I had like family outside the country so I knew I had an escape path.

Those that can leave, have been doing so. The rest are or feel trapped. They simply have too much to lose, and little chance of a decent life if they leave.

I for example can’t fight back against my government in the most effective ways because I have kids. And they deserve a chance to make their own decisions about polotics. But if I say damage something important, they won’t likely get much of a choice since I won’t be able to support them anymore. And because of our healthcare system, no job means extremely substandard healthcare. So like my autistic son would probably never be able to manage his own life. That is the delema many of us face.

I assumed the assault was after the men were pushed into the canal. But my point was it felt like the authorities were leaving things out. Maybe to not scare away tourists anymore than possible.

If I was this guy I would have moved my family like they were in witness protection. The chance of them being collateral damage is just too high.

Though he referred to walking his daughter like walking a dog. So he probably doesn’t care much.

Something doesn’t add up about the 3v3 male conflict. I can’t imagine 3 guys getting all 3 in the canal without the use of weapons or something. And the 2 swiming to saftey abandoning the women seems odd too. Then the women hanging around rather than running. Just feels like there are some details missing in the article.

The democrats and thier party have been bought and paid for. They aren’t going to save us from the billionaires.

If only publicly traded companies were required to disclose information that would prove this. Oh yeah, they are, and it does. But thier shareholder very much approve of it, so essentially the companies are doing what the shareholders want, which is their job. Maybe it’s the system. And maybe it is time for a change.

I would have remembered the entire democratic party walking out even more. The speech is just a pep rally for the incumbent party. Why are they expected to sit through it. Before efficient mass communication, it made some sense. And the content mattered more. But now? No one expects me to sit through the prp rally of my opponent before the big game. And make no mistake, politics is just a game to them.
