Bankruptcy in the US isn’t the same as here. If it’s true it’ll be bankruptcy protection to allow them to restructure whilst being protected from creditors
Maybe BLM can invest...however it's true.

Yes, its true but...

Also, it is not because they have no supporters anymore or something, it is because the NRA has been so badly managed that they have overspent on crazy campaigns, top salaries and private jets.

Let them self destruct. I get guns, I've fired a few and liked to get small grouping on the range but there's no place for them in the civil population.

You are joking, right?

I have many American friends, and their 'idea of the actual issues on the ground' range from "Biden is a commie in the pay of Antifa" to "Trump is a fascist and a Russian spy".
My point was it’s not right for us mainly Brits to sit here casting opinions on what the Americans must be a very sensitive subject.

Calling the thread title what it is will only lead to another Brexit type situation...which I am sure we can all do without. Just tread carefully and respect our American friends.

Au contraire, I feel that our American cousins are having the last laugh. They've corrected a moment of madness in a 2016 vote. ;)

I've become a bit of a tiktok addict in the last few months

somebody posed a question to americans living abroad , something like how has america messed you up

This girl is doing a masters in the UK , she was sat by herself , some other students asked her to join them but she declined because it was safer where she was sitting , the other students were dumbstruck when she said, if there's a school shooting this is the safest spot, what a way to live your life

Some of these middle aged women are posting at an alarming rate.
Some interesting Automotive posts though doing bizarre repairs.

I watched the press briefing as Biden was announcing staff and the program of tackling COVID-19 and basically showed that the Trup administration had no plan at all for a vaccine program, that the USA has 4% of the world population but 20% of global deaths from CV19 and is in a desperate place. They have agreed to fund the national guard in EVERY state 100% to implement a vaccine program to the tune of 100,000,000 delivered vaccines in the first 100 days in office. Also full transparency in that you can download the dossier on the program from Www.whitehouse.gov

not bad in a handful of days.

I am no Trump admirer, and that statistic you gave is not great, but for comparison the US has 1,299 deaths per 1M population.

The UK meanwhile has 1,447 deaths per 1M population and sits 6th in the global table on that metric behind international powerhouses Gibraltar, San Marino, Belgium, Slovenia and the Czech Republic.

Does that make us 11.4% better or worse than the US?

And for further comparison, Japan an island nation of twice the population of the UK, has 40 deaths per 1M population and is still currently able to enjoy indoor sporting events such as Sumo albeit with reduced audience capacity, compulsory mask wearing and only clapped applause and no shouting.

Lies, damned lies and statistics.

True, but given population densities are a big player as well as welfare and healthcare. The population of Japan are very process led and compliant. Their figures are fantastic and shows how if rules are followed just how successful they can be at reducing spread and death.

Up until this week the US gov't were in full denial and it shows, to quote Trumpturd: "If we stop testing the number of cases will fall".
