Oh the carousel. Anyway I just wished voters would vote more consciously but even that has been rigged so that people vote to those who appeal to their own fears and anger 😞
America is truly exceptional... Nonagenarian politicians serve as lawmakers of an economy they barely understand, and part of a system of legalized bribery that reinforces their lack of interest in not understanding, while septuagenarian supreme court interpets and applies laws made in the aftermath of the civil war but are free to bend the meaning of laws as their personal political biases allow, and octagenarian presidents wield extreme unchecked power.
In this system, laws against abuse of personal information and exploitation of data will only be written in 2080 or later, after many lives of common people are damaged, until it damages the life of a congressman and then change happens.
The BOJ is counting on low interest to force a devaluation of peoples savings to drive consumption and, given the massive amount of savings, it will take time to burn through that
Building high quality rail networks requires legal framework to facilitate that given that initial costs are staggering. The US framework simply leaves everything to private initiative and given the multitude of local land regulation and lack of laws to support strategic mobilization at this scale, it is guaranteed the USA will never have a country-wide high speed rail network. There are just too many interests to satisfy in a very diverse legal landscape across cities, counties, and states.
Capitalism x Socialism x Communism debate aside, the USA is setting itself up to conditions that facilitate strife and revolt/revolution, by maintaining a system where the mere debate on livable wages is discouraged and both the government and congress themselves won't do anything about it as the public bought the idea that it is "unamerican" to do so
I'm with you. Aimless wandering through night and day, and consuming stuff to distract from the lack of direction in life is pleasing only to a certain point.
I do wholeheartedly agree that Samsung writes shit software tho, but their customizations for the last seven years stopped frying my phone. (S2 was okay, S3 was such a dumpster fire of a phone caused by Samsung's deplorable coding)
I have the impression that OS restrictions imposed by Google on latest versions of Android and - perhaps - the move to Kotlin improved it. I have been using a S10+ and had no issues with software. Crappy software can be removed without root using ADB and, in my region, Samsung does not bundle carrier crap (except stupid Facebook stuff that is still present in S10 and even S24 series)
