People in positions of real power who LIE need to be held accountable.
The only person in power who tells the truth is President Trump; people need to submit to and obey President Trump.
You mean trump, right? And his cronies…
Both sides.
Currently, that would be biden
Yes
This entire situation really reveals the lack of education and critical thinking skills in this country. It's pathetic.
Not really.... this reveals that we are humans and most of us are dumb and yes the dummies are needed to keep things going.
Education does not help much. Critical thinking is out of reach for most and i doubt it would be good for society .
BTW we live in the best time in our history.... never have we killed eachother less than today. Anything bad was more before. Everything was terrible before
What about China in the coronavirus
@@scott935I don’t think she pointed fingers at any particular political group. I think she’s saying all Americans are too easily misled or at least don’t make an effort to challenge the things they’re hearing in the media outlets they choose to listen to/watch.
It's frightening, really. What's the point of a democracy if your voters aren't able to think for themselves?
It’s also that journalism is a disaster. Why is Julian Aassange in jail? Where did COVID come from? Who killed Jeffrey Epstein? Who are the shareholders for The Federal Reserve and what does The Fed do? Who blew up The Nordstream Pipeline? Why do we support Ukraine and don’t care that people in Sudan are starving because of a ten-year genocide?
The entirety of the government is organized crime, and the media is complicit.
I worked at Genie Industries, and 6 years into working there, they were bought out by the Terex Corporation, and then another 6 years after that, Terex started closing down production facilities and shipping jobs off to Mexico. We were the most profitable division of all of Terex. They did it for one reason one reason only corporate greed not caring about the employees at all. That is the real problem with America right now
Wow you took the words right out of my mouth. "GREED" among all the corporations & people in this country + other greedy countries. Disgusting, disgusting.
Corporations own the media and have the politicians paid off
People got control that had already been bought off.😢
The wonderful effects of Wall Streets capture of the entire US nation and their feduciary requirement to generate value for shareholders.
It started with Reagan.
My parents are 70 and 72 years old. Divorced, remarried, etc.. and by all accounts seemingly happy, financially stable, and content with everything. They've come to peace with life. Ones retired and ones on the brink of retirement and is only working because she wants to. When I asked them roughly 8 or so years ago, give or take, if they wanted to be young again and do it all over each of them immediately said "no!" It took me by surprise and really got me thinking. I found that to be very eye opening and the world has gotten much worse since then so I can only imagine how they feel now.
but look at our president the last 40 years mostly democrat or republican?
Who cares about your parents and what is your point?
@@basqat5573ooh the jealousy 😮
You are in a small group who even care what the elderly think or feel. I am one of the old folks and disrespect is the norm and we are expected to treated like we are in the way and useless. Good for you!
I don't see how my question come across as jealous to you but my point was that simply what is your point as I ask you again?
Good for your parents I just don't understand why you mentioned them and the real point please sir or mam
The fact that most Americans lack the intelligence to see through these divisive tweets, posts, etc. is the really scary part.
We suffer from Mass Formation Psychosis
I don't know if you'd call it "intelligence" but rather they're being emotionally manipulated. So would that require emotional control? But then if you listen to proven liars that appeal to your prejudices and repeat them without checking, does that make you a liar too?
Whose failure is this? Still "NO" government law enforcement accountability.

One of the things i see that upset me. Is the fact that our country has literally been falling apart for decades. And our politicians sit back and do nothing.
And it's only getting worse.
Your absolutely right. Who knows if we can ever recover at this point.
You need 60 votes in the senate to even debate doing something.
There are those who are even trying to destroy it.
@@amberandrews6842 its a total tragesty. It almost seems like they are trying to destroy it. Guess that's what happens when we build walls and become divided.
Actually they do do things. They do things to make it worse.
It upsets me to no end because this anger is soooo misplaced. Democracy works. The reason why people are angry is because the government literally does not represent the people, and it's been this way for the better part of 40 years. People should be putting their anger towards corruption, money in politics, and wealth inequality (since wealth = power).
Democracy does not work. "It favors the MAJORITY and it threatens the MINORITY". Parliament Democracy leads to Dictatorship "Hitler"
Except here is the problem most people are unaware of: _Everyone_ who is a decent human being is outraged by corruption, that's not the issue here.
The issue here is about _how_ we combat corruption, and the tension _here_ is what is tearing our country to shreds. The _proper_ solution to reduce corruption is to make structural changes _lawfully,_ but how do you deal with demagogues who are literally willing to violate the Rule of Law to go after corrupt politicians?
You can't fix a problem by throwing a _destructive_ solution at it. _This_ is the contradiction that populism faces. Democracy _only_ works under _constitutional conditions._ That's literally why the Founding Fathers created a republic.

Our founders were incontrovertibly clear that America is not a Democracy. It is a Constitutional Republic. Some people think if they state it often enough, a lie somehow becomes true.
We are a republic …
We might all actually get along if not for the media.
Exactly.
It would help no doubt. If “journalist” would go out and be just that it would make some media useful and not as devices. To do the journalism I’m asking for one would have to put away their political bias and sometimes feelings in general and just give us the facts in a way that proves those things are indeed facts and is simple enough to read and understand. I’ve seen some say they are doing those things but quickly you see them putting their personal feelings into the reporting and you know exactly who they will be voting for.
Another huge thing to me is putting an end to calling everyone who questions the norm a conspiracy theorists. Sure we have tons of conspiracy theories and theorists but questioning the narrative that’s popular is not the same. Also I’ll even take up for the conspiracy theories. The real ones. THEY ARE NOT DANGEROUS at minimum 98-99 % of the time so stop calling them dangerous. The whole jan 6 thing and fraudulent election have both been used but one by the left and one by the right. I as a conservative thought that a bunch of armed citizens shot at least 6 police officers on jan 6 in cold blood and possibly almost had Nancy Pelosi by the hair of her head but she slipped away just surviving. It took months for me to find out that actually just one person was shot and killed on that day and it was a Lady who fought for this country who shouldn’t have been in the building but got shot in the face dead. Most of the 6 police officers they report died on (or sometimes say died because of) January 6 died of suicide and simple health problems starting Jan 7th and the last they mention committed suicide sometime in NOVEMBER. Then all the videos of cops watching people walk around change the narrative especially the fact not one person “defending” the capital died thank goodness doing so. As for Trump trying to start an insurrection lol. Some dumb people pushed their way into the capital and shouldn’t have period. But an insurrection it was absolutely not. Dumb yep. Bait for the liberal media to beat up on conservatives yep. But not an insurrection. He could have had an insurrection and thank God he didn’t.
Now the voter fraud thing is insane as well. I haven’t believed it from day one but I do believe at least at some level Trump does or for sure did. The whole “find the votes” in Georgia is simple he didn’t say “find me some fake votes or votes at all cost only for me”. Now as the Biden years have gone by I’ve found myself instead of believing that voter fraud didn’t occur questioning it. Not because of evidence but rather the evidence the Democratic Party of the USA will do some nasty things and that includes tons of
bureaucrats at places like the FBI and throughout the justice system. They are absolutely willing to play politics and it’s not just a few but a bunch. So then you have questions about the people answering questions about this kinda stuff. Who is one to believe idk. Who had the better economical situation while President. Clearly mean tweeting Trump. Who changed anything Trump had done even if it was clear it was working “for example the sanctions on Iranian Oil exports that had them saying on recordings they were too broke to give there proxies more money” Biden was told this in the debriefing between presidents and said to hell with Trumps good ideas and broke US laws by no longer enforcing the sanctions. Quickly they made billions and had plenty to pay proxies like Hamas to act like animals. I’ve vented enough.
The damn mainstream media is a corporation & for them is about $$$$$$. Fed up with our American media business. We need more HONEST professional Journalist's.
Maybe "we" should stop buying their clickbait.
The media is a product of the consumers attention.

Heck, I doubt that Donald Trump can even read. Basic literacy and numeracy should be minimal requirements for the Presidency. If you're not qualified to be a shop assistant, you sure as hell shouldn't be making decisions that affect millions of people!
@@jamesgravil9162 Well I'm sure Trump can read lol, but yes you are right literacy and mathematics should also be a factor. Maybe they are avoiding the phsycological testing considering most rich people who are in power are narssaasistic, greedy, lack empathy. And those traits have clearly already taken over our government. I don't believe for one second the majority of either party truly cares about you or me. Just keep them taxes rolling in.
The government can't or won't grasp the rage of American citizens. They will.
With stories like this I think we are doomed
Things must change, and not just within our own government but worldwide. So much hate, greed, pride and overall corruption. I'm 34 and fear the collapse is coming within my lifetime. If not a total collapse things will become so miserable and hard for everyone but the rich.
I wish more young people felt the same way. Worldwide, as you say. I really think this is the beginning of the collapse of Western Civilisation. We are heading for an awfull oblivion, FAST. I feel so worried for my children.I am 53 now but if I was in my 20s or 30s now I would get the snip, I wouldnt bring anymore innocent kids into this Society. 😢😥💔
@@cannotfindmyshoes3 Yeah I think it was a MIT professor, that predicted a global societal collapse by 2040 due to the population reaching around 10 billion people. We are at 8 billion now. Earth can only take so much abuse and unfortunately resources will become more and more finite. Now, there have been several times smaller clusters of civilizations have thought it was the end times when plagues such as the black death and Spanish flu broke out, but those beliefs were based on disease and religion. This is different, it's based off of numbers and worldwide data and trends. This predicted collapse doesn't mean the entire human race will go extinct, but many will perish and those who do survive will have it pretty rough. I also believe not everyone should have children due to not having the means to properly take care of them, as well as so many people are setting their children up for failure. I personally won't ever have children unless I adopt but I'm struggling to make it on my own and I fear what is to come.
I'm 64 and I would not want to be young living in this world. I see the collapse of America coming within ten years. The whole world is in an awful mess. I tell people I'm glad I'm old because I would be scared to have many years yet to live in this world. I think it's cruel to have children now.
Very true, we’re all on that dreadful man-made path. The governments can reverse course/direction to the correct pathways,, but so far they haven’t
Exactly!
the number one reason why the world is so messed up is because goverments where in charge and do not listen to the will of the people
Oh the government absolutely does listen to the will of the people. The supreme court unfortunately decided that corporations are people and money is speech so there's a tiny handful of people who are just so much louder than everyone else getting what they want.
On the contrary, I think the will of the people is a major problem by itself. I think many people in general don't have a strong concept of what it is they really do want, leaving them to accept whatever seems to be on offer or the voice of the person who's yelling the loudest, and those who do know exactly what they want often don't want things that would actually be good for anybody. The people in the second category tend to the be ones who yell the loudest and are the most prevalent on social media.
@@tracychristenson177 Weird that we're not a complete socialist nation with universal healthcare and universal higher education then. No I'm pretty sure money talks a lot louder to politicians than people on social media.
My anecdotal experience of gen Z people (my kids and their friends) se through all of this and realize on a visceral level that the social media world is completely absurd. I think the wake up will come from them. I know more older adults who are more hooked on social media
Agree with what some of those folks said at the towns meeting. All of them are "FED UP" with our members in Congress, both parties Republicans & Democrats. These people in Congress are not doing their job & the are getting a salary $$$$$ but for what??!
The contrast between the Chinese and American versions of TikTok isn’t a flaw; it’s a deliberate feature. TikTok from China is essentially a data mining app. My partner, who works in IT, cautioned me about it from the start. Having witnessed Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook negatively impact the high school girls I taught-leading to issues like depression, anxiety, and self-hatred-I strongly advise parents to be vigilant.
Agree 100%! These Chinese knew exactly what they were doing and we should be a lot more aware of that than we currently are.
when china gov restricts kids internet use, the west screams that is a human rights vialation. the tiktok(and other social medias) is heavily regulated by the chinese gov, but not in the US. I wish the US gov had the same rules on the social medias as those in china and I wish the US gov could do the same on the drugs too. fentanyl is not a problem at all in china and chinese gov can not set the rules and laws for the US, so dont blame china for this american problem either. the same things happened in the trade too. the US and china get almost same profits from the trade but the profits distribution is different. in china the profits are shared more to the workers, but in the US the profits mainly go to the capital( the rich) and workers lost job. the US gov could tax more on the profits and give to the workers, but both parties cannot do that if they want to get elected.
Please forgive me, but isnt that the fundamental difference between an authoritarian regime and a democratic one? People get to watch whatever they want vs. people get to watch the govt wants!
@@ecoideazventures6417just Google: Is TikTok different in China compared to the U.S.? A social media analyst compares it to opium and spinach. You decide.
We had a President that called that out in 2017. Even banned the military from using it. But we can’t talk about that.
This video just convinces me we should get rid of social media. Humanity is not advanced enough to understand so much information without applying critical thinking skills. Or at least no politics online. That should remain on newspapers or true news channels where learned or common sense readers prevail.
Yet, here you are 🤣
You are part of the problem. Trying to control other peoples speech and opinions.
America is a Republic:) We need to remember to love one another ❤
The only thing Americans love is money
Anger in America yes its been here for a long time the poor have always been angry with America and have called bs on "bootstraps" as long as i remember. Native Americans and Blacks have also inherently had an anger with America. As ppl quality of life declines inflation, high rent/mortgage rates, cant afford kids, high education, high healthcare more ppl (white once middle class) will be angry and since that is happening now ...media is now paying attn ....but anger over America has always been. there
When people are forced to live disadvantaged lives there will be anger
I'm in my mid 60s, and there's a bigger divide racially and politically, and these are also the toughest financial times I have lived through so far. Additionally, as we sit here on the brink of war, I can only say, and with great indignation, im glad I'm nearing the end of life.
I'm totally relating to what you've said. The anger has become so palatable that I'm exhausted before I even climb out of bed every morning. I'm seeing my senior age as a blessing, my time here is nearly done.
Re-read your own comment. Ask if it's what you actually believe. Take that indignation, and figure out how to do some good with it. If not for yourself, then for others. It doesn't have to be political. Help friends, family, or anyone you are in a position to help. Life is a gift.
@@jonance93 thank you for understanding, I wish it wasn't this way. ❤️ God bless you.

Fake controlling media is what destroying the USA not the social media.
You right but If nobody knows you🤔
@@Tbone1492 What do you mean? Oh you think you need social media to know people?
The problem is in the business model, not the technology. Also most of the damage is down stream. The effects on traditional media, political parties, elites, and government. It has made the control system more visible, as it becomes more hyperbolic and that system predates social media.
It's the greed destroying us.
Capitalism was introduced to the world by Karl Marks in Das Kapital. It was designed to destroy the world to usher in socialism. It was a sociopathic parasitism of the pure individual, incompatible with a collective society.
Social media with a little or excuse me a hell of a lot of help from Fox News
I can't even imagine being angry all the time. It must be miserable. There are so many wonderful emotions that we, as high-functioning beings, have access to. No doubt there are reasons to be upset, but don't stew in it, or identify with it. Emotions are meant to be felt and to move...on. Be careful; anger can rot you from the inside out. Tap in!
Anger is motivation. Without it, you get apathetic ignorant indoctrinated voters who fail to recognize the deeeeep eval and corruption that permeates all of government.
It's going to take boiling rage to vote out 90% of congress

I love how this documentary says this was no fraud in the 2020 election. The supreme court determined that pennsylvania change in voting requirements was unconstitutional.
You are proving their point that there will be civil war.
Always love this show. So many good parts included in this session. My favorite part in the beginning session regarding social media was the fact that China who owns the TikTok has a different standard for their own country and yet we mark China and call them the bad guy yet they’re doing everything they can to ensure that their children are educated and they have inspirational information put in front of her face.
The segment in the end about the small town is very heartbreaking. You know they began that segment by talking about the major corporations that established himself there, and had factories and all of that dried up and went away when those companies took their manufacturing to Mexico and China to put more money in their own pockets. The fact of the matter is those people are right it doesn’t really matter who’s in office anymore because they’re not voting and passing policies that really matter. It’s just more culture war and more pointing the finger than actually getting things done to protect American, and their dreams. The NAFTA programs was one of the great destructive powers of the American economy. We’ve given corporations way too much power over people and unfortunately the result as what this segment was showing.
You can ask any great economist and they’ll tell you that one of the best ways to stimulate any economy is to put the money in the hands of the people. 70% of the American economy is consumerism. You take that small town to 15,000 people and you put money in their hands and they will spend it in their local economy. Henry Ford knew this. He knew that if he didn’t pay enough for his own people to afford the products they were making what was the point? He knew that if they didn’t have enough money that the businesses would fail. That’s what this segment was showing us, and this rings true for thousands of small towns all across the US. we need to get corporations under control in America. We need to stop them from sending jobs overseas. Until those things change America as a whole will continue on that same trajectory, which again is the greatest inequality of wealth this country has ever seen.
China and inspirational information? lol.

@B_Bodziak I will break down the story to you if you'd genuinely like to know the truth. But if your religion is mainstream news than I might as well talk to a wall.
The dangers of limiting "political content" is the limiting of free speech and truth
WE DO NOT LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY , we live in a REPUBLIC
Yes, Amen & Thank you . "And to the R€public for which it stands"
The 2010 part really bothered me. It's 2024 and we're dealing with the same exact problems but with even more inflation
This type of topic is very important today. Children's academic results are getting worse.
I think yr write ...
We are A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, NOT A DEMOCRACY
Should be called “Democrats present 60 minutes” 😂
USA 🇺🇲 should always have faith in our People, and to never forget that we are all Americans. Together we are stronger 💪 and we will continue to work on our growth as a team. ❤#USA
I did lose faith in Americans that day 3 years ago. This is why I prepare because who knows what is next. Refusing to ever accept Trump.
This unfortunately will never happen.

Sadly, you’re right. Unless we’re attack.
We are kept divided thru many different avenues (religion, color, sexuality, political affiliation etc) for a reason! THOSE THAT ARE DIVIDED CAN NEVER UNITE TO MAKE REAL CHANGE!
A country divided cannot stand. Pretty sure we’re divided. Just as planned.
I don't think America has ever been more divided than it is today
America is the most divided country on earth. It's a bad time to talk politics unless you want to be beaten up. It's dangerous.
there was that teeny tinyyy moment when people fought over whether Black people could be kept as slaves but that's neither here nor there, right?
Democrat101... divide and conquer.
It was! Over slavery and many other things. We have been more divided in our past that's a fact. The media is the main reason we are all getting split apart. But still today we aren't that close to civil war like we were before. Don't believe the news!
Election deniers huh put Hillary in that bunch! It's clear/obvious to anyone who looks that there was election interference. From hiding Hunters laptop to all the money mark Zuckerberg spent to influence so many. FBI alone did enough to change the results of the election. Nobody at Biden rallies but yet he got more votes than any pres ever?? Smoking what? Lmao yall crazy! Stop lying! Please
I see it in real time. If my teenage step daughter is awake 16 hours a day she's staring blankly at a phone for 151/2.
So... when did America become a democracy?
My heart goes out to the US, may God be with you❤
I don't know where you are, but US politics affects much of the rest of the world, unfortunately.
God is obviously choosing to ignore the US....the planet......everything. It's almost like he doesn't exist.
I so agree! Away with Social Media!
Exactly....Political association is private. We shouldn't have thought police.
TikTok needs to be taken down. We've blocked our kids from using it.
@@TheSEOContentCreator Kids shouldn't be on TikTok. I'll agree with that, but so many parents are stretched for time to get everything in a day done that they use electronic devices in many forms to occupy their children. Sad
Do a show first about how America is a Constitutional Republic and not a democracy so people can have a better understanding of what we are trying to save.
How about explaining the reason for the outrage on people ?
America is no longer what is once was.
A characteristic of fascism is believing in a mythical past.
Thanx Trump! BidenHarris2024 ❄️🌎❄️
TROLL
America was never "what it once was".
@@sazzbot8874 Which of his words did you consider "fancy"?
I read my brother's family cards, papers, and 22 year olds are unable to write legibly, and cursive is no longer taught. Cursive is infact punished in Schools. Everyone with a phone in their hand no longer do arithmetic in their minds, much less algebra. Algebra was taught in junior high when I was growing up, and then you went up to Calculas & Physics as a Senior before graduating if you chose to focus on Mathematics. Or you could focus on Literature, or Chemistry, or Biology.😢 This is why I am scared. Most "News" stories are published in 5 different ways of a single story....Five perspectives and opinions slipped into a factual act.
Cursive's removed from curriculum intentionally so future citizens can't read Declaration Independence & Constitution for themselves
Im an actual leftist, and i enjoyed watching Jan 6th. I knew it was 100% FBI, but i really liked seeing average Americans inside the Capitol. Loved the Prayer from the Shaman. Thanking the COPS for the escort.
Yes!!!
I was hoping that this is an updated, current reporting for today's anniversary, because *a lot has happened since airing this one in 2022!*
They are not going to air the TRUTH of the situation.
So true. A lot of challenges to the election result failed. All of them. So what’s new to report
Yeah, you're right, alot has happened, alot of nonsense!
You are so right ! A LOT has happened and is still happening. The truth WILL come out! But liberal shows like 60 minutes will not air THE TRUTH 😂
MTG didn't invite you to her party 🥳🎉
If you can get them to believe absurdities you can get them to commit atrocities.
I have a question what happens if the vote was scanned flipped over does it scan each way
Main stream Media is the problem.
The division comes from the top. Not social media.
The government has to take this very seriously, or the UNITED STATES will become the "SEPARATED STATES " 😢
Politicians don't even know a computer. VOTE OUT THE OLD.
They want us separated!
People still don’t get it!
We live in a democratic REPUBLIC. Not a democracy…😂😂😂
I agree
It's not just social media, it's media in general-newspapers, radio and TV commentary disguised as news. Yep, disengage.
ALL information sources…dictionaries, language, movies, radio, TV, books, schools, universities, music, film, magazines, etc and on and on and on. The US is fully divided and the unity is in a death spiral. The USA is just SA now, nothing is united. Thank you neo marxist
This is the third anniversary of the slow death of Democracy in America. 😢
Here's the problem. Calling this country a "Democracy" is a misnomer. Read the US Constitution. Read the Declaration of Independence. "Democracy" is NEVER ONCE MENTIONED, whereas REPUBLIC is mentioned. Read Plato's Republic. Read Madison's Federalist Papers. This country IS NOT a democracy on paper, but we have treated our republic as such, thus our country is about to fail, in exactly the same way that Plato predicted that democracy would fail
@trentp151 this is an apple, not fruit! Why do you repeat the same bland thing everyone else does 1000x a day
@@followsuittrading Because idiots who believe that the USA is a "democracy" (it's not, on paper, just look) need repetition to understand truths.

We've forgotten hiw to be a family. What made this country what it was are the people. "We the people" of this nation. It's sons, daughters, mothers and fathers, united under one common bond. America. Along the way we've grown complacent, lazy, cowardly, and self deluded. We've forgotten to take care of ourselves AND each other as a family. We've forgotten how wonderful this country used to be. Most importantly we have forgotten that WE have the power and control because that's what this country was built on other than the deception and genocide committed by the rich to take this land from it's original inhabitants. But those people, the wealthy, only make up the least of us. They are the least important, least helpful, least human among us, yet we allow them to have all the power, make all the decisions, while treating us like we should be happy just to have them telling us what to do with our country. Now, we're divided, we're conquered, and we've been effectively neutralized by those weakest and most worthless among our people. The privileged, spoiled, self interest worshipping, wealthy. They are our most dangerous domestic threat. They are the only ones profiting in any way from our current state. The only way it will ever change is to unite the people and for the people to then take action to turn this country around and make real progress. Unite the people, create parallel societies that work in unison for the country and not personal interest. If we dont do something, something will never be done.
Damn well said!!!
FANTASTIC !! reporting keep the good work 60 min. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
The false equivalence effort at a "bothsidesarethesame" in the beginning of this video is pathetic. Morally bankrupt and intellectually dishonest. Stopped watching at 10 minutes.
Very informative
We need investments in America and Americans!!!!!
Its nice to help other countries, but we need to take care of ourselves first......
This report should include an update summarizing where thing stand at the current moment (January 2024). This is especially true/needed for the Dominion story.
We arent a democracy, 60 minutes. If we were, in the pledge we would say "and to the democracy, for which it stands." But its republic, we are a constitutional republic.
its rinse and repeat and the people will believe, if told enough that you losing your democracy! America is a Republic- People, stop believing everything the News or Media's put out there. Way to many untruths or half stories being fed to the people. Open your mind and eyes.....
100% spot on
True but we use democratic elections and it’s the faith in those elections that January 6th was about.
Without democracy and everyone getting to participate equally the republic becomes worthless
@@DeeWeber we in the USA have an electoral college system. It is not democratic. Don't let them fool you.
Yes absolutely.
I AM MAD AS HELL!
AND I AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE! 😮
I'm mad as hell AND NOT GONNA TAKE ANYMORE
This whole change to the world seemed like it happened overnight, on the bright side I can finally say “back in my time”
I live in upstate NY a section of the rust belt of this country. What I notice is that relations of my wife which are close enough to DC or in DC seem to have no idea what struggling sections of the country are going thru. I think it is because our tax dollars get spread disproportionately into the DC region and it flourishes while the rust belt hunkers down and keeps paying their taxes somehow. Does this ring true in other parts of the country? I'm glad for my relations doing good I just think it needs to spread to the majority of the country.
What is the main economy of Washington DC?
In 2022, the government and government enterprises industry FUELED BY FEDERAL TAXES added the most real value to the gross domestic product (GDP) of the District of Columbia, amounting to around 44.39 billion U.S. dollars. Comparatively, the information industry contributed around 12.34 billion U.S. dollars to the districts real GDP. Why is the GDP per capita so much higher in Washington, D.C., compared to the rest of the country?
A big part of this comes from comparing the per capita GDP of the city proper to other states in the United States. You’ll find that Washington DC at $160K a year is about three times that of the next state, Massachusetts at $60K. Again, federal taxes provide a deep well of money for the highest wages in the country.
We are a constitutional Republic, not a Democracy.
Election is coming, so 60 minutes must post an episode that was aired almost 2 years ago. 😂😂😂
Our epidemic of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) does not appear to be abating, and Big Pharma hasn’t developed an mRNA vaccine for it yet. Those employed in government, academia, media, and medicine seem to be at highest risk.
They should vote by paper and ID, no scanner and be able to verify with the voters.
they did do that.. they hand counted it.. You need an ID to vote so anyone voting. what more could you want... i mean the feds make sure the counters are legit it has multiple agency's verifying it.
expect even longer days to await voting results lol
yep, as we all know any computer system can be hacked!
Such a stupid idea that clearly has not been thought out. Do have ANY idea how much less accurate and more time consuming paper ballots are?
The Constitution says nothing about ID. You would need an amendment and people support the ammendments selectively obviously.
I dont know many people with any kind of faith in our government, our justice department and media period.
Also, on the third segment, in the future, if we want to avoid all of these problems, regarding the possibility or accusations of voting fraud due to electronic machines, we need to go back to paper, ballots, and voter ID. That is the only way this is going to be resolved.
It's more likely that Tik Tok will become the new voting platform than the political class revert back to a system that cannot be easily controlled.
Exactly. If Georgia doesn't return to paper ballots, I quit voting
It’s not simply the tech. There have always been polarized Thanksgiving dinners. We have not been taught to keep our mouths shut, to not say something if you don’t have something nice to say. This used to be the way of life.
Politicians are the problem, not the people!!!!!!!!! Stand united!!!!!!!!!!
nah its both when we have people like QAnaon we'll end up getting Orange Jesus
People are the politicians… of the people means people like us and plenty decide to run for office. We are our government. That was the entire point. Don’t like things? run for congress like Harry Dunn!
@@DeeWeberif you already have a platform, getting the support of the party is TOUGH, I know for myself.
It's everybody's responsibility, the people haven't held corrupt Politicians accountable, we've gotten lazy, & comfortable with complaining from afar & as long as our daily lives aren't massively interrupted, but we've let thing's get so bad, & corruption run so deep, the American people have to grow a collective spine & real push back.

While I was attending the University of Wisconsin about 15 years ago I had one particularly memorable classmate, a young woman who evidently experienced a VERY sheltered upbringing, which resulted in her having a very shortsighted disposition, as well as a very serious set of anger issues.
She was constantly disrupting lectures anytime something came up she found even the slightest bit "upsetting", of which were seemingly infinite in number. My most vivid recollection of her was a meltdown she had during a lecture so explosive they could hear her screaming in the building next door. So much some of us started nicknaming her "Triggerella".
Ironically, the year after I switched universities, there was an incident where she had another meltdown and punched another student in the mouth during a lecture, and was subsequently expelled.
When I taught classes I never talked about politics outside of college. The college had its own politics I didn't agree with. Sometimes those policies harmed the students. I would never tell the student what to do I would always say that if it was me I would fight against it. That's what I did when I was a student if I thought something was wrong I fought to make changes. I never talked about anything in the class other than the course itself, the assignments and homework. Projects in engineering and drawing. I wouldn't teach nowadays if you gave me all the money in the world.
Agreed! It was hard enough to teach 10 years ago. I recently decided I don't want to do it again. With the politics in the colleges and the student attitudes. This is why there is a huge vacancy that cannot be filled in education. I don't think there is anywhere outside of Sweden or Norway that I would want to be an instructor.
People want to be mind readers yet they cannot handle social media and free speech. I understand both sides of this argument, however, censorship is not the answer.
yea UA-cam censoring conservative free speech like crazy i cant say anything and my comments get deleted and liberals are allowed to insult and say things i never could ots discusting. people controlling youtube should be in jail.
The Problem Is Everyone Depends on “Politicians” to do Everything. We The People Need to Step Up & Take America 🇺🇸 Back!!! Every Last One of Them Is Incompetent!!!!!
