On June 23, Gov. Gavin Newsom had a scheduled call with Mark Lashier, the chief executive of Phillips 66 — months after the oil giant announced it would shut down a major Los Angeles refinery following the governor’s signing of new regulations on oil and gas facilities as he pushed to end California’s reliance on fossil fuels.
Within days, Newsom’s administration pivoted
The USA is doomed to spend some time having increasing anarchy and lawlessness, and I think will continue to do so for a few decades. Sometimes it will get better, but overall things will get worse.
What we are seeing now is merely the most recent symptom of the beginning of the decline. But there is no political or any other solution except some individual states and communities doing their things.
You mean tyranny, not anarchy. But I agree with you: the US is beyond saving. However, this is not a decline, but nothin than the logical consequence of the apathy of the population.
The US is (still, but for not much longer) the richest country in the world. Violence against the population as practiced in dictatorships has yet to be established here, which is what is happening at the moment, and yet the population remains largely paralyzed. One only has to consider the events in Iran these days to realize how utterly short-sighted this actually is.
Not tyrany so much as an erosion of laws and diminishing federal oversight. It will become, I think, difficult to think of the USA as a single political entity rather than a thing that oozes like slime
Sure, this year it seems like tyranny will happen, but the democrats and republicans will still win alternately in the next few decades . Most of the bad stuff that will happen in the near future is not dramatic political events but hunger and disease, suffering not covered by news outlets
