Pity.
Elections are pretty much handled on the State and local levels. Litigation is the only real option to clean up the corruption.

I can envision boats with levels of oars to provide the sub 80 IQ crowds with meaningful employment that fights global warming and allows them to broaden themselves by seeing the world.

I’ve ridden through several of these areas in the last year or so and it’s amazing that they all still look really nice.
They aren't strictly poverty now, they are "mixed income", so a percentage of the residents have some ability to function. They are probably also spending a lot more per unit for maintenance and maya have less than 100 % occupancy besides lower density to begin with.
Some of the blocks of housing projects worked for decades when they were segregated up to the late 60's. Entry housing for the poor who eventually moved on.

I think he is.
Weren't these loans to businesses primarily used to keep the workers the government harmed by their COVID policy employed?
keeping innocent workers employed and the economy hobbling along due to government shenanigans seems more "worthy" than relief for dolts who agreed to loans and now desire relief from their foolish actions.

How can anyone be pissed at this Russian dysfunction? Putin came off as a total shite stain, the narrative of Russian victory by his media is broken, and Russian dysfunction is further exposed.

What good will come from a military coup and presumed subsequent dictatorship?
Removing a President that starts the largest war in Europe since WWII is a good thing.
The break up of the Russian federation, could be an outstanding thing. Many of the candidates of secession would swing away from Moscow for ties with border powers/states.
Muscovy, economic bankruptcy and loss of its conventional threat is a good thing. The next muscovy didcator will be rather emasculated.

Nothing strange about admiring what he has done for Ukraine, he was suppose to be done in 72 hours, and now it is grandpa Bunker that has fled.

I was speaking with a good friend in Moscow about an hour ago, and he also was under the impression that Putin had evacuated Moscow, he thought St. Petersburg, but the word on the street is that he is gone. Also said in his opinion this was good for Moscow as they had been largely oblivious to the war until now.
Zelenski does seem to have the greater set of balls.

He is not a lifetime mercenary, he didn't start the business till his mid-fifties.
Odds are he has some encouragement in high places to make this move. And while he is a criminal nd very dangerous, he is more rational than Putin, he knows how stupid this war was and how much Russia has loathe is not a detached old fool like Putin.
