Donald J. Trump (For everyone else)
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
Good ol’ Donnie the Dove just stoppin wars!
The rest, regulations are here to stay by the most part. Even if trump manages to cut some of them, even if SCOTUS is sympathetic to all or part of rigthwing judicial philosophy about non-delegation and so on, it's basically impossible to think regulations would even go back to the 70s of the 20th century, nevermind the actual low-regulation framework of 1 century+ ago.
So welfare isn't going away, regulations at most will be trimmed at the margins.
Housing won't be fixed, at most at the margins again in some areas that are willing to do something to ease the pain a bit. But by and large desirable urban areas in the USA and the EU won't see massive increases in housing supply no matter what.
So the structural forces that shape current society economically, the hardship to get on the housing ladder for newly formed couples (or immigrants), the massive suffocating welfare state that imposes present costs on working age people to guarantee a good life for pensioners, and regulations that make it hard to set up your own business, or grow it properly in many sectors, or increase productivity for already mature sectors, are going nowhere.
Stifling low growth while guaranteeing rents to incumbents are going to be the rule of the land as it was 5, 10, 20, 30 years ago. Nothing of substance is going to change economically.
I think that most parliamentary systems are better.
The US system gives more power to people who live in some places than to those who live in others, based on arbitrary state lines and the legacy of slavery.
Why do you think having the executive and parliament connected more than in the USA is better? it makes it easier for power to be centralized and reduces the checks and balances.
Because the infamous checks and balances are doing so well.

Geopolitcs, stability, inequality, aspiration, status, democracy ...
Sure we will continue to play with the deckchairs. And denial will reign supreme even as the people not quite sure what is going on will vote for/ succumb to increasingly desperate answers
I doubt anyone is surprised, but this push against "DEI" is no more than an excuse to wipe out the accomplishments of anyone that isn't white.
In recent weeks, the Pentagon appears to have focused on removing any webpage that it deems to be “DEI”. The webpages that it has taken down mostly have to deal with women or decorated service members who were not white.

I just read about this website taking down Ira Hayes's information. As well as Charles Rogers.
Here's what happened to Maj Gen Rogers page:
The Defense Department "has restored the Medal of Honor story about Army Maj. Gen. Charles Calvin Rogers," a spokesperson told NPR in an email, adding, "The story was removed during auto removal process."
I'd love to know what the parameters and/or which code words were inputted to complete this process.
