If one party pushes that number higher. They vote for em. Gensler/Biden caused those savings to go down. The demo with the biggest change was young men

Russia invaded Georgia in 2008. In 2009 Obama wanted reset with Russia.
Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. In 2015 Merkel signed the NordStream 2 agreement.
Two invasions. Two major appeasements.
Obama and Merkel have an outsized responsibility for the situation we are in today.

You don't *believe* in vaccines. That's not how it works. You either understand how they work, or you don't. It is not a faith based matter, it is literacy. For lack of literacy, there may be trust in people or institutions who know, but if trust checks out, it is literacy, not YouTube.

my 2 books put together are a relatively, dreadfully relevant summary of who exactly is running the government right now. i hate it but its true
I recently finished Wild Faith by @swordsjew.bsky.social and it explains a lot of what's happening in America right now, especially if combined with her previous book Culture Warlords. Recommended.
