He's unpopular because roughly 35% of the U.S. population (that 35% figure sure comes up a lot, no?) is so ignorant and clueless of world events that they believe inflation is a uniquely American phenomenon. And, thus, one person's fault.

What can you possibly call a country in which one MUST assume that every driver on the road is carrying a gun and is ready to shoot you at any sign of a disagreement?
A country where things like this (below) and mass killings occur with incredible frequency cannot call itself civilized.

So insane.In the most recent article I've seen about the incident, it does mention that the wife of one one of the men was in one of the cars, while "relatives" of the other man were in the other car... but it maintains that it was the two fathers who fired the guns, and that it's both men only who are charged with attempted murder.Jeff from TX wrote: ↑Tue Oct 18, 2022 4:34 amActually, the mothers were in the vehicles also, and one of them fired the first shot.Deuce wrote: ↑Sat Oct 15, 2022 4:02 am When you think that life in the USA can't get any lower... think again...

Inflation here is in double digits. Around 11%. PLUS:
Because Colombia imports some food stuff, the prices at the supermarket have gone way up, because the peso has devalued severely Vs the $$$. Started the year at 3,800, it is all the way down to 4,700. And of course, the year is not over.

The politicians in the eastern states (all GOP) said the west would not "steal" their water.
Which floods them.
