Where @ethanz tells us about the cultural power of #DontLookUp:

"But there’s something Don’t Look Up gets right. Many of our #institutions are failing us. The experts don’t know what to do. The feelings of terror and helplessness lead people to behave strangely and unpredictably. McKay doesn’t offer us a solution to an ongoing #apocalypse, but this #film, at its best, offers us a moment of #empathy. Look past the machinations of the politicians and the media stars, and look towards the people in the background trying to make sense of a reality that no longer makes sense, disrupted by #COVID or #climatechange or by a slide into #authoritarianism. If there’s a solution to this polycrisis, this interconnected mess of apocalyptic threats, it’s in the #groups working to live through this scary moment, not through the politicians or celebrities who’ll get to escape to their bunkers or spaceships."

In #America everyone speaks of the cost of the 'grocery' and the #Tariff ...
But nobody seems to take the MAIN problem into consideration

All
... truly all
#TRUMP actions
have been aimed at weakening and damaging #America
first trump attacked the #Institutions and the #Governament
dismantel it
then trump damaged the #Army eliminating capable officers
Then attacked the #Allies
now tanking the US #Economy

No Trump action has been in 'favor' of the #USA
...
Nobody asks questions ?
