Republicans and Democrats want some combination of:
Forever wars
Forever masks
Forever taxes
The Libertarian Party is the only one that wants forever freedom.
The CDC, White House, and media have been their own worst enemies when it comes to addressing COVID-19. By frequently mischaracterizing risk and probabilities—misusing data and ignoring knowledge in their policy recommendations—they’ve sown confusion and fueled vaccine hesitancy.
A representative democracy that abandons liberalism (divided powers, the Rule of Law and equality before the law, freedom from arbitrary coercion, free speech and other protected rights) will gradually lose its democratic and representative character and embrace authoritarianism.
Government monitoring and "fact-checking" of your text messages is coming soon.
This will be labeled as a "private initiative" by the phone companies and nonprofits, but make no mistake: this is being directed and guided by the government.
How can a government, that's $28 trillion in debt, spend trillions of dollars that it does not have? Well, one major way is the Federal Reserve creates money-out-of-thin-air and then 'loans' it to the government by buying the government's bonds.
The Biden administration still hasn’t reversed this despicable and unlawful policy on civil asset forfeiture. Inexcusable. Don’t say you care about justice reform but leave in place a policy that steals billions of dollars from people, especially low-income and Black Americans.
I watched The Big Short last night for the first time (I know, I know) and here is one of my favorite sayings:

The next Big Short? Watch where these guys go:
Recent comments by @RayDalio that he prefers #Bitcoin to bonds is not so much an endorsement of Bitcoin as it is a condemnation of bonds. Dalio wants out of U.S. dollars. Notice he didn't say he prefers Bitcoin to equities, commodities, real estate, foreign currencies, or #gold.
As non-productive Americans spend printed money they didn't earn, the price of everything they didn't produce will continue to rise. Policy makers will claim supply can't keep up with demand in a booming economy. But the U.S. economy is a bust. All that's booming is money supply.
So far in 2021 #Bitcoin has lost 97% of its value verses #Dogecoin. The market has spoken. Dogecoin is eating Bitcoin. All the Bitcoin pumpers who claim Bitcoin is better than gold because its price has risen more than gold's must now concede that Dogecoin is better than Bitcoin.
