Trump just sent a message for the people by the people about DEI in Universities. Well, Sam? What do you think about Penn State losing Accreditation because of your class?

I'm constantly reminded how fortunate and privileged Americans are. It's too easy to pick out everything that isn't perfect, but our imperfections are the hopes and dreams of most the world.

@kb.e3762

the professor doesn't further elaborate when zhou says cameras are only there for criminals. No mention of social credit system using facial recognition cameras?? And if the credit is low you can't buy train or plane tickets.

What I got from this is in country's that change is not possible or very unlikely people do not spend time thinking about how to change things. Why waste your time if you literally have no options.

@OFB7212: Im about to be 69 and retiring next year. I feel much better about our future and my kids and grandkids future. Enjoy the ride and blessings of living in this great country. You will see greater stability economically and fewer wars as with the first Trump term. He has surrounded himself with better peaple this time, incl RFK Jr, Elon, Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy and others.

@Richardavery4692: The question of race or gender impacting the race is framed incorrectly. Yes, there is a small segment of society that holds negative views on both. By assuming you're always speaking to or needing to address those people, you irritate the majority that doesn't hold those views. It feels like an accusation & it's offensive.

@Lsmullin62: What do you think the fall of the United States looks like?

I do not thinknit is around the corner, it may be. I don't think civil war is logistically possible. Civil unrest sure. And the possibility of alot of it.

I would think that it would be more of a Brexit situation were the stats band together and decide to brake into smaller countries.
