Haha, no. As long as there is bread and circus, nothing wil happen.
- riddlemethat 2mo agoThis removes circus from the children.
- throw-the-towel 2mo agoChildren are politically irrelevant.
- bluebarbet 2mo agoThis comment does not add any value to the discussion. PS: Sorry, but "haha nothing matters" cynicism does NOT add anything to the discussion. In fact it straightforwardly breaks a whole bunch of HN guidelines: "Be curious", "Don't be generically negative", "Don't be snarky", "Don't post shallow dismissals", etc. This forum is supposed to be better than the R-site.

- SalemSaberhagen 2mo agoYes it does. Your comment does not add any value to the discussion.
- theodric 2mo agoMany of us find it difficult to be relentlessly positive as we watch organizations that constantly paint themselves as the epitome of democracy act in a way counter to the repeatedly-expressed will of the people. I cannot smile my way into fascism.
- random3 2mo agoOK, but what does that have to do with the suggestion that saying “nothing will happen” adds no value to this conversation
- coldtea 2mo agoIf it's indeed the case, it adds more value than 100 comments explaining non-happening course corrections, and revolts, and backlashes they believe we'll see. It's useful to add some cynicism in the mix (or in this case, pragmatism)
- attila-lendvai 2mo agowell, bread is running our at beakneck speed... that's the reason they are busy igniting a war by the time the defaulting begins, so that there's some external boogieman to blame instead of them...
