Yes, if people like the ones at Emmanuel AME Church in Charleston become leaders.

Wow, it's hard to remember this is what human beings can be.

there has been so much more killing since then and as beautiful as this inspiration is, its hard to imagine there is enough love anywhere to stop the mass murder that is part of regular life now

Sure kid, just like a horse race.

Nasa is the best ambassador the US has, if they took 1/3 of the military budget and put into space travel the US would be back like Jordan.

Space travel for what? Branson is going to operate consumer flights, but how many times can billionaires fly to ISS before they get bored? Not many people can afford $150k for a short vacation.

space travel for discovery, learning and inspiration. the world could really use a moment of peaceful triumph.

Branson has sold tickets for twenty years without delivering a ride not sure how he is relevant to anything here.

Elon Musk estimates 5-10 years to get to Mars. At present the cost is $1 Billion per ton, so it'd need to be 1/1000th of the cost, apparently. The ship will also need to be reusable.

Traveling Mars is also not a point and shoot mission. You have to coordinate launches with the alignment of the planets' orbits to travel the shortest distance and not fly past the sun. This also requires a stay on Mars as you wait for safe realignment after landing. Current technology estimates a 21 month round-trip given a ~3 month stay on Mars. Money is not the biggest hurdle.

When I say 5-10 years, I mean to design and engineer the cost down, not journey time.

go open source, add new states, virtual citizenship and most of all healthy competition with other nations not war

Competition in what? Our largest industries are healthcare and pharma. Getting Americans to change is a huge hurdle.

competition for new citizens, with decreasing population the game is going to change and the usa at least remembers how to play

100%, this is always the u.s. advantage but politicians run on keeping people out not in

If its a 12 step program, seems like all this realisation right now is step 1.

No, this country is cursed, theres a lot of bad karma waiting.

k-rino has a nice rap-recap on this

update

outlaw political donations there's plenty of free coverage to get the pitches across anyway.

American free speech protects political donations, even from corporations.

So who is the cool cowboy now?

Peter Breggin. MD, former psychiatrist who took on the APA when profit motive became greater than the hypocratic oath doctors take to "first, do no harm", became the conscience of Psychiatry. Later in life he has runs a radio show exposing those persons involved in the Globalization Movement that is quickly eroding the common person's civil rights and creating barriers to those who choose to leave a work culture where your boss becomes your God and if you are lucky, you may receive paltry insurance and limited sick leave....the US is a nation of brainwashed drones who.probably have never had an original thought in their lifetime.

Dr Breggin advises us little people to organize and speak up....be a patriot....but look who we are up against....

Any lbs out there know of a better place to live where meager pensions are paid to elders who have to live on $2k a month and paid in Social Security taxes since they began work over 30 years agos. Thanks to Ronald Reagan and others like him repealed the formation of a self sustaining retirement system that President Clinton wanted.....

This is the tip of a gigantic iceburg to which any organized public outcry can be crushed by the Patriot Act.

Not to mention US top organizations, including the military, continue funding the weaponization of a once benign bat virus...

Population control has begun....freedom of speech has been compromised by media spin doctors, and a true Republic has turned communist......these globalists like Bill Gates, President Biden, George Soros, and anonymous billionaires are acting against law and liberty to defund any classes of us with little money, and spin doctor the media to brainwash us to believe we are having racial tension; what really is happening is class warfare.

Why do billionaires want just their money but the commoners money too? How much is enough to live on?

I get mad and feel compelled to stop the US from becoming part of the Communist Party of China.

Rather than dwell on frustration, I will smoke some kush mints so I can even sleep!

The population grew to large. The citizen / individual is now a defunct concept. Group politics prevail. Democracy is dead.

America needs a strong leader. The country is in a mess and it's going to get a lot worse till it gets better.

Hollywood. The American dreM. Clever marketing for a past its date super power.

The country is too big to properly manage. To many different rules per state. The poverty and opioid epidemic is absolutely shocking beyond belief. Equality issues. Mad presidents and to many super rich families. Now
Let’s all head on down to Walmart to keep that cycle continued 😁👍

This guy never existed it was all hollywood fiction,now they are more likely to show America defeating the universe and saving humanity as they struggle to try and persuade everybody they are still the good guys and not a bunch of screaming mad nazi thieves going about the planet threatening other nations and causing wars and misery where ever they go.

There's too much ignorance in the world.

americas greatness came from common values attracting immigration from around the planet. make that again and yall have a chance

Only problem I see is too many people

not enough young people, not enough people moving up economically.

That's a new one for me but it's interesting.

what country?
