    I mean Obama had 8 years, what did he get done? Clinton - 8 years, and not a lot.

    The whole 'President' thing is mostly a sideshow, a distraction. Your country is run by the military-industrial complex and the Federal Reserve and has been since at least WW2.
    Ok, what I take away from that is that the same folk run the country regardless of who is president, or indeed which party is in the White House. So is there really any point voting?

    Governments and elections are just there to keep the plebs occupied.

    The real power and decision making lie elsewhere.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Exactly! And which is why you have to look beyond what the government are saying in reference to this pandemic (everything related to it), and challenge/question it, as they are NOT the REAL decision makers or the ones pulling the strings, but simply the paid puppets...

    The "people in power" often think they have no control because they tend to follow market trends often, and fail to set many of them. I often just wonder if the existing systems sort of produce their own results no matter what.

    Portsmouth is a ghost town today!

    Never seen the streets so empty. Hardly a soul out. Just a few dog-walkers on Southsea common.

    Most people are wearing masks even outside.

    Where is everybody?
