    97? Shit, I wasn't aware. If I knew at that time I'd be just a kid terrified they'd kill me too. I think I just found something that I could look into for the sake of helping to make sure this shit never happens again.

    I don't know why but, sketchy past or not, this President was elected based purely on "anyone but Trump" and managed to do far more than that bare minimum regardless; it says a lot to me that effort was made to improve things under the current American government when they could probably gotten away with anything and no choices would be left that weren't "your future will be Corporate Feudalism" in the next election.

    My point is that we should punish people after the fact like with every crime, but that yes, those schools are terrible and anyone associated with killing those kids needs to be found and punished for it.

    As for down votes, I don't know why you chose hexbear as your instance but I won't judge based purely on something that's either trivial or personal depending on the person. Interesting that admins can remove a feature like that.

        Maybe its just watching from afar and only having paid attention to politics from 9/11 onwards but it feels like an infrastructure bill is more important than people give credit for. The train crashes and the rail union strike did actually lead somewhere; despite breaking the strike, apparently Biden helped get the benefits the rail union workers wanted for them even after the actual strike was off.

        Aside from that, I'm not sure how even Obama would have handled a pandemic and a war with Russia. I do know that, sad as it may be, there really was no choice. Trump would literally have gone nuclear and/or instituted martial law if he could have and saw an opportunity (like a completely unchecked pandemic leading to widespread death), because it would ensure he remains in power indefinitely, there's no doubt we wouldn't even be allowed to discuss this in 2023 if Trump had been reelected.

        As for LGBTQ+, that was a supreme court decision in my eyes and so the blame falls on Trump for that because he hand-picked them for exactly the reason that it acted as "insurance".

        Anyway, sorry to bother you. I get politics is a touchy subject and I'm not sure what else I can say that's not tinted through maple-tinted lenses.
