| pedro45 04/17/20 11:42:26 PM #50 | aDirtyShisno posted... Somebody didnt read the articles in the OP I see... There's a lot of...irony in those statements. It's a stereotype that was seen as comfortable. It was like a sell out. If someone teases their own heritage, race, background, gender, etc., that doesn't then mean it's okay. He kinda sounds like a sell out. Black people would take some pretty messed up roles when they were allowed behind camera, and that certainly doesn't make it acceptable at that point. Sometimes you gotta pander to an audience for sales. --- Warning: Sometimes biased https://imgur.com/V0x5fw8 https://imgur.com/IOovUge https://imgur.com/zw7bqPH |

| pedro45 04/16/20 2:46:15 PM #43 | This is an interesting discussion. Both sides make sense, but some sources to back up either side would be great. I heavily lean toward intentional shortages because Nintendo games rarely drop in price unless put on their discount line. It also seems to happen to them the most, but that could be a coincidence. Sadly Sega made a bunch of dreamcast consoles. Maybe a shortage would have saved them :p --- Warning: Sometimes biased https://imgur.com/V0x5fw8 https://imgur.com/IOovUge https://imgur.com/zw7bqPH |

| pedro45 04/15/20 4:16:47 PM #29 | I want people to realize that this could have been handled much, much better by a lot of other potential candidates. I can almost guarantee cuts to the CDC would not have happened if a dem was in office, a trillion dollars wouldn't have been dumped and lost in minutes before considering the people, and we'd probably be in a better unified state about things. I doubt this would have been denied as a hoax, then blamed on other people, and then turned around as if this was serious for trump the whole time. Are you that dense to believe Trump actually tried his best to protect the people? He's a business man and has put that before people constantly, if not always. If he wasn't so blinded by money, it'd probably be more obvious, but he's also a failed business man, so his plans don't work out well, I.e. $1.5 trillion lost in like 15 minutes. --- Warning: Sometimes biased https://imgur.com/V0x5fw8 https://imgur.com/IOovUge https://imgur.com/zw7bqPH |

On the flip side there's a LOT more on his plate that has to be taken into account. Yes business, the economy, trade with other countries has some importance so you have a life to go back to once this blows through. He called this a hoax and then lied about it to try to save face. What he did was remove funding from the CDC before this happened and fired the people trained for events like this. Those are all things for personal gain and not for the benefit of the (American) people. Obama had a crazy bad economy that he inherited, and handled it quite well. On top of that, there were Ebola and other outbreaks he handled swiftly. All you gotta do is compare trump to his predecessor to see how poorly he has handled being a leader. Maybe Obama set a high standard of leadership, but that's no excuse to lower the bar. Trump is good at representing the average American. I will totally give him that. The average American is an entitled, self absorbed person who would rather step on toes than work hard though. So yeah, he represents his people well, but that's not a good thing. He leads them terribly. --- Warning: Sometimes biased https://imgur.com/V0x5fw8 https://imgur.com/IOovUge https://imgur.com/zw7bqPH |
