          It is just funny to me, 1 man is 2 years younger than the other, they are both going senile and should have retired a long time ago. Soon as old man Biden stepped back the whole too old thing vanished. Either way, the voters made their choice at the ballot box or on their couches and now we will ALL have to pay that price, not just the US Americans.

          1 side, tho flawed approach, would have left the order we have become accustomed to, the other side… well, actions have consequences and the incoming administration wants to, how did Elon put it?, give pain to the American people

            People didn’t want the order they are used to, aka the status quo…

            People literally voted to wreck the “order they are used to”…

              Well, I hope they enjoy it.

              On the chopping block:

              • Social Security that has been paid into with the social contract that they will have some for their retirement
              • Medicare
              • Medicaid

              Trump promised to lower cost of living by checks notes imposing tariffs on their major trading partners, hint: tariffs are paid by the company importing and ultimately by the citizens. None of the trading partners will take it, they will impose their own.

              Hopefully there will be a next election and hopefully relations can be repaired

                All of those were on the chopping block. Remember we froze discretionary spending in year 2 of Biden. He called it a win for America.

                Trump did tariffs in year 1, Biden left them, and added more.

                So, yes, people voted to disrupt the status quo, in which they starve. Will they still starve? Probably, but the change was a chance for it to be different, rather than a 0 chance.
