    DUALITY OF NATURE IN HUMANS

    No, they don't. They love to manipulate it towards their ends. Whazzat?

    Immense riches for some, but (more so) a system that is purely business-oriented. And any law - whether or not beneficial to the class as a whole - they are relatively indifferent to it.

    "Relative" how? For some, their principal emphasis is business and how to accrue riches. They refuse to see the duality of an economy. Perhaps a lesson in EC101 would help them? Because in that lesson they would understand the difference between the duality of any and all economies on earth - which is based simply upon "Supply & Demand".

    Who "Supplies"? Who "Demands"? Well, in the first instance, suppliers are those who provide to an economy Goods&Services. Which is the foundation of any Free Economy (meaning based upon Capitalism).

    Those who Demand are the consumers, and yes, the Suppliers are also Consumers. The question of relative importance between the two devolves to where an individual preferentially exists in an economy. Do peoples' preferential-considerations align with the Supply-component (meaning markets) or the Demand-component (meaning consumers). And, of course, all markets consist of consumers!

    This human-duality of nature exists in all economies, and the major-preference for one or the other of them determines the Political Outlook of all of humans on earth ...

    He did everything he was supposed to do, he even came up with a vaccine in record time, which old man Biden will try to take credit for.

    He did almost nothing he was warned he should have, from nearly 4 years ago to the present, nor did he do what many other nations were doing and which he could have easily emulated. Instead, he acted as if his bullsh*t could change reality and the thousands dead were dying just to make him look bad. The man is seriously disturbed and his sycophants are driving themselves crazy imitating their hero.

    COVID DEATHS PER COUNTRY

    Donald Dork was AGAINST any governmental intervention in the matter from the get-do. He failed to see the deaths that had already occurred (at the time in January-February) in first China and then Europe. (For that bit of arrogant ignorance on-the-job he should have been thrown out. But no, the Replicant Senate saved his sorry-asininity!)

    All that DD likes to show on TV is how he doesn't like to wear a mask. Which means what? That if anyone does not wear a mask than their probability of death is far, far higher than the average of those who do wear a mask.

    "He came up with a vaccine". All by himself? What planet do you live on? He came up with nothing, which is why so many fellow Americans died so easily. There are 10/15 versions worldwide of the vaccine and no one is sure of which is most effective!

    To really understand which countries understood the Covid-threat - and those that reacted far too late - that data in terms of Total Deaths is shown here: WorldMeter Coronavirus

    Drill down to the heading "Reported Cases and Deaths by Country, Territory, or Conveyance" - and note that in Confirmed Deaths "per-capita" in the US is the highest value on the list!


    And yes, Donald Dork is very LARGELY responsible for that outcome ... !

    What was he supposed to do that he didn't do, be specific.

    You must not live on the same planet I live on. When Trump started closing the borders, idiots like Nazi Pelosi were calling him a racist and saying "Come to Chinatown, it's perfectly safe".

    As for the rest of your drivel, you can go sit in the closet, too.

    UNCLE SAM'S VOTER-SHAFTING

    Well put! The guy has been perfectly useless! He was trying to prove to the world that he worth the position of Number 1.

    The fact of the matter is that what he DID accomplish is to show, once more, that the US is not a Real Democracy. Because in a Real Democracy ONLY the popular-vote nationally would be necessary to elect a PotUS.

    Uncle Sam will negate your vote (simply because it is in the minority) and the Electoral College will assign its value to the candidate YOU WERE VOTING AGAINST ... !

    I have to disagree with that first part. Trump has never TRIED to prove anything about himself. His entire consciousness is based around the idea that he IS literally GOD, well no, not just God but even greater than God. He truly seems to believe the outrageous things he says about himself, that "only he can save us" and he is a "stable genius" with a "giant brain" Strangely it seems there are many people who will believe such delusions of grandeur just because someone is crazy enough to say them.

    And it doesn't hurt if they actually BECOME the Most Powerful Human That Has Ever Existed. But this might say more about the overall insanity of the USA in the 21st Century than anything else.
