He overturned a bunch of Trump’s executive orders. Executive orders that he knew would never had gone through congress. And if those executive orders made him one of the best presidents around, why then did he lose a re-election?
About making money off the government, no one does it better than Trump who used any opportunity he could get. Billing the government for his numerous golf outings played on his property, billing and charging the secret service for rooms and not forgetting the $2 billion the Saudis gave his son in law.

Apparently, he hasn’t learnt anything new on how to win and succeed after his list of failed fraudulent businesses. And the only thing these failures have taught him is how to go about cutting corners in order to try and beat the system. I must admit he’s good at stalling justice.

Biden is trying his best despite the lack of support from republicans in both houses to fix the rot left by the former guy. With the republicans voting no on every bill meant to turn the tide around, it’s a wonder Biden had gotten so much done already.

Trump has a habit of failing at almost everything he has ever delved into. He has a long list of failed business and has now added a failed presidency to his list of failures. Trump isn’t an administrator neither is he a good one. His administration is a failed administration as he rode on the success and growth of the Obama administration. And he rode even that to the ground. With his exceptional healthcare plan we never saw to the wild arrogant twitter rants.
Trump, being a buffoon was laughed at by other world leaders and actively undermined America to the rest of the world. Being Putins puppet, he openly sided with Russia over his own intelligence chiefs about the bounty placed on American soldiers by Russia.

Downplaying the covid pandemic while secretly getting vaccinated, lousy or non existent foreign policies, and now the “theft” of government classified and top secret documents that he claims to have declassified just by thinking about it. What a moron.

Sadly, good leadership alone isn’t nearly enough to hinder and/ fight corruption.
In order to effectively fight corruption, there must also be accountability and over sight in government spending that should be available to public view upon request. A government not accountable to its citizens would get away with almost everything.
There should also be a vibrant opposition to check mate and keep the government in power on its toes. The press is also instrumental in holding the government accountable and should be independent from government interference. That way, the press would be free to investigate and expose any fraudulent and/ illegal acts by the government.
With these factors in place, there might just be a shot at fighting corruption.

The Russian president has granted citizenship to former NSA contractor turned whistleblower Edward Snowden along with other foreign nationals. Snowden has been living in Russia where he was granted asylum and later permanent residency as he flees persecution in the United States for the theft of government property.

Money isn’t everything. Admittedly, money could buy you a certain level of power but you forget not everyone is swayed or can be bought by money. You definitely can not earn power with money. Perhaps you should understand what it means to earn something.
Money is definitely powerful that can give rise to greed, pride and selfishness.

Power and money goes hand in hand and are entwined together. With money, you could get a certain level of power but with power, you are certain to have a sizable amount of money.
I would opt to have the power over money. I could literally do and change things(for the better) with power but with money, there are limitations on what you could achieve or get done.
  Not everyone is swayed or moved by the whiff of money and i for one would prefer to wield the power than to have all the money in the world. Having money doesn’t exactly give you power

Generally education has not failed anyone and it’s always on the plus side to have an education. Education is supposed to open one’s mind; to enlighten him on things he never knew and it’s always good to learn new things. What one does with the things learnt is left to the individual.
The reason education seem to have failed in some so called developing countries is simply the lack of funding and oversight by the relevant authorities. The education system in these areas lack the proper facilities and equipment needed to properly impact knowledge on young minds.

I don’t think PayPal blocked those accounts for political reasons. PayPal being a private organization has its set rules and if one party or individual breaks those rules, the organization has a right to deal with such adequately as they see fit.
The same could be said in the case of former president Donald Trump. His supporters, most of them republicans and conservatives argued that the twitter ban placed on his account is politically motivated and a move to mute him and free speech in general. Multiple times, he broke the rules and terms he agreed to when he signed up on twitter.
So PayPal might just be blocking accounts that has breached the terms and agreement and people would then scream political persecution.

You’ve got a valid point cause any government likes and would definitely prefer a populace that is obedient and could be easily be controlled and so, they won’t actively fund or delve into projects or ideas that would make the citizens self reliant and less dependent on them. We can all see that with bitcoin as some government has gone as far as to demonize and even prosecute its use.
Financial education is something we would have to teach our children ourself. That’s if we ourself are financially enlightened.

It’s not safe to put all of your money in bitcoin, neither is it wise. You do not put all your eggs into a single basket.
You say it’s 100% safe to have your money in bitcoin but we shouldn’t still put a 100% into it. Personally, I don’t think your money is a 100% safe in bitcoin. I’m no naysayer but I don’t fully trust bitcoin the same way I haven’t got complete faith in fiat currency. And that’s why I’m a bit hesitant to put any higher than 30%.

OP, I think you need to be specific on exactly what you’re trying to say.
Investments generally contribute to the growth of the economy of a country. It now depends on what investments are coming in. Now, if you’re all about the growth of an economy, a country should first and foremost try to be a manufacturing and producing country that exports more than it imports. Should also strive to be self reliant on food and energy. That is when a country can comfortably grow and maintain its economy.

A bear market could be said to be when the share price of a commodity continue to decline over a period of time. Unstable prices and a gradual decline in prices gets a large portion of bitcoin holders scared enough to sell off a large chunk of their assets.
In these so called “trying times”, selling off assets are encouraged and people are inclined to sell because of the unstable and/or decline in prices.

    I’m curious on your thoughts and opinions on how much bitcoin and/or fiat currency would be considered safe to hold in a bear market like the one we’re currently in.(eg:70% fiat and 30% bitcoin).
Understandably, people would have different thoughts and opinions on how much is safe to hold cause income level varies among individuals.

Chelsea’s performance in the champions league as well as in the premier league has not been all that great. They have played poorly as lost a lot of games as a result. It may very well be as a result of the recent change in coaches but that alone hasn’t been the cause of their recent losses both in the premier leagues as well as in the champions league. If they keep at it, they would surely lose out in their quest for the champions league trophy. They’ve got some good players that are able to turn things around. I think the new coach needs some time to settle and actually know the team and formulate strategies to help turn things around for the better.

Arsenal is at the top of their game and presently at the top of the table in the premier league. Having gotten new and good players in the latest transfer window, they’re vying for the trophy. But there are also some good teams also vying for the same trophy. There were major transfers in the latest transfer widow as most clubs got some new players to add and bolster its squad. Arsenal with the recent signing of Gabriel Jeśus to the team has greatly improved the team as he has scored goals and is very instrumental to their recent wins.

The earth does need saving as well as the humans living in it. Both needs saving from humans. We are destroying the planet as well as ourselves with our actions. Man has fought disastrous wars from time past; killing the planet with our incessant wars, polluting our land and seas. The earth naturally would heal and replenish its resources over time. But the rate at which man plunders the planet, it cannot naturally heal itself.
The ice caps in the attic are melting at a much faster rate, therefore increasing the sea levels thereby inducing floods. The planet does need saving as well as humans from a common enemy; ourselves.

Formal education was once considered as the ultimate; if you wanted a good quality job, then you must acquire a formal education. A formal education is still vital in acquiring a good job today but lately, technical skills are being recognized as formal education is gradually becoming less and less important. There are lots of people today with a formal education but with little or no knowledge about the work he/she is employed to do. That is why most companies or organizations train their new employees to be able to know and do the job well.
You could make good money today without a formal education. But without a skill or a technical know how, there isn’t much opportunities for the individual.

I think it’s dangerous to completely rely on just one thing. Whether it’s cryptocurrencies or something else. Relying on one thing would no doubt bring about disaster in the long run. Look at the earth today; we’ve relied on oil for decades and cant just switch to another source of energy overnight.
The ongoing invasion of Ukraine that Russia has engaged in has made the earth plummet into an energy crisis and inflation is wrecking lots of countries today. If only we had diversified on our energy sources, we wouldn’t be suffering the the effects of the war.
Therefore, it is very dangerous to completely rely on cryptocurrencies as relying on one source would definitely ruin you.

First off, land is an asset that would only appreciate in value as the years go by. And I think purchasing a piece of land is always a good investment as you could always sell it later and make a considerable amount as profit. Like I stated earlier, the value of a given piece of land would only appreciate so I would advise anyone that has the money and is willing to buy land.
I should add that the various cities we live in today were once undeveloped and somewhat barren. So anyone looking down on undeveloped places are ignorant as undeveloped land is like a gold mine waiting for anyone to explore it.

Suicide is never an option in my opinion. People run from life and it’s problems by killing themselves are considered weak willed in my opinion. After an individual kills himself to escape from life problems most likely leaves more problem behind for his family and loved ones. That said, I wouldn’t judge anyone unfairly who commits suicide as the root cause of what pushed the individual to such a drastic action must have been painful and probably has been eating him up for a long while.
