 The thing about these presidential debates is they never discuss the real issues.

Nobody says "hey maybe the issue with economics is the money itself is debt"

Nobody says "why fight the Taliban in Afghanistan for years, if it was Al-Qaeda that fled to Pakistan?"

They just keep taking jabs at each other.  And the sad thing is, most people will never realize these other ideas exist.

But there is good news, you can reject the system and join the parallel economy.  the parallel social media.  parallel tech.

Yes startups are rough.  Yes it has a learning curve.  But as Tom Edison once said "I have not failed. I've discovered ten thousand ways that don't work."
