America has gone mad!!
Yesterday's day of decision revealed the true soul of America!
Americans have chosen a bigot,racist,mmisogynist,zenophobe, fascist, a nd convicted felon to be their leader. Trump has. no moral scruples or constraints.
He is motivated only by self-interest and the mighty doller.
Giving such a person . all the state's levers of power will be globaly catastrophic , ...not only to America but to the whole of humanity!
Trump's policies/agenda will move America toward autocracy!
A Trump administration will be reflective of his vulgar and incendiary comments and his .outragous personal behaviour.(his policies will endorse racism, misogyny, rightwing extremism)
Under Trump's leadership the world will move backwards!

Glad to hear you are hopeful for the future under Donald Trump's leadership.
I am not so hopeful. Trump's character and his past behaviour make me worried and very apprehensive!
As someone who believes in Christian values you must be aware that Donald Trump is not an exemplar of these values (neither in speech nor actions)
In most societies held together by moral values and rules of law a twice impeached convicted felon would not be qualified to vote let alone run for public office . It would be madness to give such a person a leadership role! Yet this is now our reality in America
You have chosen to be led by someone who in his obsessive pursuit of money and power has lostt his moral compass and forsaken his humanity!
These are indeed dark times!

I am afraid that using tariffs to force jobs and manufacturing g back to aAmerica may backfire!
The Reason corporations outsource their production to china,india,etc is because productivity is higher in these countries and the cost of labour is lowerr
For exampple, if IPhone were made in USA ,it would probably cost $3000.instead of $1500!
Taxing imports means that the consumer will. have to. Pay. more for imported consumer produuucts.
This will reduce consumer sppendiing/demand and slow the ecoono mom y!
Higher prices on all consumer goods wil II plunge the economy into an inflationary. recessio n!
I am more fearful than hopeful of the future under a Donald Trump leadership.
ReplyDeleteAmericans have chosen a madman to be their leader!
ReplyDeleteTrump is now the most. powerful person in the world!.
He now has enormous power to enact his agenda!
Trump's mindset will affect not only the future direction of America but of. the whole world.
The next four years will be a rocky ride for humanity!!
*********
The storm is coming!
DeleteDonald Trump has begun to set the tone for a dark chapter in US history!
Trumps choices are already causing an uproar
The people he is choosing to join/run his administration have no expertise/credentials and are of bad moral character. Their only qualifications are loyalty to Trump ( willingness to do Trump's bidding) and sharing his extreme right wing world views! .
RFK jr. (is an antivaccer and a .conspiracy ....theorist) given control of Dept. of Health!?
Elon Musk given free hand to eviscerate govt. regulations thereby allowing businesses to make more money without constraints (tax cuts to corporations).Eliminating govt. "waste" will translate into cuts to services for the vulnerab!le.Freedom for the wolves means death to the sheep! Freedom to pollute takes away the freedom of others to survive!
Matt Gates as attorney general ...to head up the Dept of Justice and willing to do Trump's bidding to exact retribution against political opponents.This will undermine faith in the independence and integrity of the justice system. If people feel the system is "rigged" , they will feel they have no stake in upholding the rules of law
Trump,'s protectionist policies will cause institutional instability (uncertainty,chaos) resulting in higher prices (inflation), more debt,and greater inequality ( income disparity)
Restricting immigration will cause a labour shortage thereby increasing the cost of labour and the cost of production.
Trump is building a team of lackies around himself who are totally unqualified and , like himself, lacking in moral character!

Delete. Optimism about climate change:
ReplyDeleteInterview with
JONATHAN FOLEY on ,CBCradio/The current Nov 11. 2024
JONATHAN FOLEY: I'm optimistic because, we already know the end game. The endgame here is that the world will not go back to the 19th century. We already have solar, wind, batteries. These technologies are cheaper than fossil fuels. They're better. They're faster and easier to deploy. That is the future. The only question is how quickly can we get there and how much damage do we avoid along the way? That's the race against time that we're in, but we're not going to go back. It's just a question of how quickly we move forward now. And that's what keeps me cautiously optimistic about the future is the world moves slowly, slowly, slowly, then all at once and every change we've ever seen. And the game will be won by technology and markets, not by politicians. And so the politicians can slow things up and muck them up like Trump will probably do, but the inevitable path towards a renewable energy, clean climate-safe technology future is inevitable now. It's just who wants to be there first and how quickly do we all get there? And that die has been cast.
