The "lifting of the curtain" allows people who would lie in person to be a true reflection of themselves online, and it's not that pretty. The reminiscing to better days, is just a rose tinted glasses view in many cases. Its very in line with the "Make America Great Again" line. I've yet to understand when the "again" refers to, or more specifically which particular time period or time someone wants to go back to.
The concept of taking the high road seems to be a lost in today's society.
Wonder if the President is aware that fentanyl is killing about 300 people a day here in America....
Fentanyl seizures at the southern border increased nearly 60% in March of this year over last March.
According to the CDC, fentanyl has killed more people aged 18 to 45 since 2020 than COVID, car accidents, and suicides...

I have asked that question as well and it is an idealized era that never existed.
Reminiscing?
What makes you think we have to "go back" anywhere?
Move forward in manufacturing, producing energy, leading the world in space exploration, scientific discovery and leading the free world as we once did...
Besides Marty McFly and Doc who wants to go back in time?

The irony in your post..
Calling people pussies and blowhards, as if you would do that face to face.

The premise of "again" is comparing to sometime in the past. We don't have to go back to achieve that, but what time are we looking to compare to. Was there a truly global economy, as there is now? Was China a global economic player, as they are now? Was India a growing global economic power, as they are now?
Obviously we should look to grow manufacturing, strive for energy independence and be a leader in sustainable energy production, nobody is developing and funding a 20-30 space exploration plan - but we should, we do scientific discovery - and we also educate the brightest worldwide who go back to their countries to do the same; leading the free world, well we'll use others and they'll use us - people still want to come here for the opportunities - to lead we should elect someone people would follow; all of us would be a good start - so idk, maybe by the 2032 election cycle we could nominate a couple of candidates that run on policy and that everyone (most at least) can get behind once elected .... doubt it though.
That was framed as a question -- "are you just a blowhard pussy?"
Have you decided on your answer yet?
I agree with much of what your saying...but...
Lets thank Nixon for opening up China...then...
Who decided to send much of our manufacturing to China?
Why do we buy crop fertilizer from Russia?
We should again lead, not follow.
As far as candidates go...when the people nominate and elect the likes of Trump & Biden, the people get what they deserve...

Let's look into the exchange a little deeper. After your repeated exhibitions of illogical enthusiasm for cryoto-currency investments, I asked if you were actually investing in them or were you just a blowhard pussy. Your response included "Prove it". I asked if you wanted me to prove you are a blowhard pussy.

Slowly moving up. It's just ranging between the support (green) and three different resistance (yellow) lines. It's been bouncing at support, then rejected by any of the three resistances over and over and over.... If it continues like this until the end of the triangles, it would be around Aug...

Like you posted.. that keyboard makes people brave.
Like I posted.. the irony is lost on you since you would never say that..question or not, to someone, anyone.
But since you believe yourself to be never wrong you'll try to convince yourself that you're right.
You're pathetic and remind me a lot of Joe Biden. Clueless, myopic and lost. And you bring that all upon yourself.
BTW... do you need some Salt on your Hash?

The (unfortunate) answer is the global economy or more to the point, that corporations want the cheapest inputs for the highest outputs to maximize profits and share prices. We (well, those shareholders among us) like that as we watch our nest eggs grow. When our elections cost billions, and our politicians are surfing the gravy train, nothing is likely to change. They need to keep enough people happy (enough) and stoke enough culture crap to keep people from realizing ... and now I'm sounding like a conspiracy nutball!!!
Yeah, Trump or Clinton or Biden - Pence or Kaine or Harris - ffs even the heartbeats away suck!

I have. I've decided you're a liar. But that's not new news... oh, you're also a hypocrite.
How much have you lost on your cryptocurrency investments?
Sanders was the right vote for sure. To this day it still amazes me how people missed this. Literally most of Trump's voters would have benefited from a Sanders presidency. He looks out for the working class. Problem is all the nutjob MAGAs wouldn't be able see past the word "socialism", let alone define it. They just believe it's a bad word. No way Sanders wins against Trump. Unless we change our voting process and reform campaign donations via lobbying groups, we're stuck with the neoliberals and, well, whatever the disgraceful republican party is today.

Really? You have no concept do you. I'll ask the question again. If someone purchased 3k worth of a crypto at .06 then sold it all at .85 how much did they lose? Answer: nothing. They made money. Here's another one. An investor buys 10k worth at $6 and sells at $8, how much dod they lose? Can you do that math or do you need more Salt on your Hash again?
You didn't answer the question.
