There was a time when you didn’t know what ad blockers were, that you could install them, and which one was best. You learned that at some point. Every day, there are many, many people who learn this for the first time.

Can you please share what you are using to help this person?

You got me. This is good. Some say it’s the best one.

Back when Trump was running for 2016, my brother (really into finance) said “he wants to keep his interest rates low” because he (everyone who cared) knew Trump was heavily leveraged. This was before all the other crazy tendencies came to light, of course.

This is my go-to example for “you guys have no idea what is going on”.

Many people are saying he was strong on revenge.

I’m pretty sure I learned more about the US government growing up in Canada than a lot of US citizens. We had Schoolhouse Rock on tv with our Saturday morning cartoons (I’m old) and studied the US federal government structure for a few weeks in middle school.

• Looks like it’s not taken out of context but it was one time when they got excited
• Ok, there’s a history of this kind of rhetoric
• Well, no one really believes that stuff

• I just want lower taxes

Good thing you don’t live in a 15 minute city, you’d starve! /s

When I hear “I got fired for my political beliefs”, I think “they got fired for being a contrarian blowhard with no impulse control”.

Have a great day. You are an intellectual giant who has bested me.

Guess what? You are both smarter and more knowledgeable. Have a great day.

All this to defend your position that billions of people don’t have a way to say “yes”.

You don’t have go do nuts with the details, I read the same articles. I’m just saying this is in the process of happening and people are denying the reality in general.

Example: there’s a person in this thread insisting that Chinese people do not have a way to say “yes”. It’s… weird, to be charitable.
