Everyone here keeps their money in bank or brokerage accounts, because we trust the law to protect us if the banks try to steal our stuff. We are seeing that foreign countries no longer believe the USA is still a nation of laws.

You're not arguing against leftists, you're arguing against Abraham Lincoln. If you want to know the answers to your questions, read about Abraham Lincoln. And no I will never agree that policies created out of racism will somehow

This is a vile analogy, whose implication so twists the American tradition that I blush with shame to read it from a possible countryman. What American tradition? I'll let Lincoln speak, since you have already given voice to his opposi

You can still regulate the addictive features that are in common though. Paid Lootboxes for example. Isn't there some jurisdiction that already regulates those?
