McConnell: Trump is responsible for inciting riot

:) I don't think you are being pragmatic or realistic. As the Planet begins to reach it's maximum carrying capacity and automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence begin to accelerate ... there's going to be (if we haven't already reached it) an inflection point of Too Many People, Not Enough Jobs.

But, it's nice to think that God will provide, everyone will have a job, all will be happy, and there's gold at the end of the rainbow.

I don't believe in a gawd. The planet is nowhere near capacity. Why are you fighting for shopping cart pushing jobs when people need to learn how to use computers? You're a weird dude.

Who said they like him? It was said that he told the truth after it was over. He also set it up weeks ago so that he had an escape hatch to avoid doing the right thing. Mitch is despicable. Don't go child in your responses.

I guess we have a different outlook on things.

The term "capacity" is relative.

About 9% of the global population goes to bed hungry every night. It wouldn't take much to double that figure.

1. World hunger is on the rise.
How many people are hungry in the world? Globally, about 8.9% of the world’s population — 690 million people — go to bed on an empty stomach each night. Since 2014, the number of people affected by hunger has been slowly on the rise. If it continues at this rate, it’ll exceed 840 million by 2030.

2. The world is not on track to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal for hunger.
The hunger Sustainable Development Goal calls for ending hunger in the world by 2030. Unfortunately — with world hunger on the rise — this goal will likely not be met, even without considering the effects of COVID-19. Estimates suggest that an additional 83 million to 132 million more people will be chronically hungry due to the pandemic.

3. Some regions have a higher proportion of malnourished people than others.
Sub-Saharan Africa is still the region with the highest prevalence of undernourishment, estimated at 22% of the population. This is expected to increase to 29.4% by 2030. The Caribbean also has a high rate — 16.6% of its population. Compare this to North America and Europe, where less than 2.5% of people are malnourished.

4. Although poverty reduction efforts have paid off in achieving better access to food in developing countries, a healthy diet still is out of reach for the world’s poor.
Extreme poverty rates fell from nearly 36% in 1990 to 9.2% in 2017. However, having the economic means to access nutritious food is also affected by food prices and people’s purchasing power, which have both varied widely in recent years. With a healthy diet costing more than the international poverty line of $1.90 a day, it remains unaffordable for people living in extreme poverty. For example, across sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia, about 57% of the population is unable to afford a healthy diet.

The COVID-19 pandemic also threatens to reverse decades of progress in the fight against global poverty. While the full impact is unknown, the World Bank estimates that an additional 88 million to 115 million people will fall into extreme poverty in 2020, with the total rising to as many as 150 million by 2021.

5. National economic growth doesn’t necessarily mean better nourishment for all.
In India, for example, the economy has experienced high growth in the last decade. But the most recent data shows that 189.2 million people, about 14% of the population, remain undernourished. In many other countries, the income gap between the haves and have-nots has widened.

Mitch the Weasel. No surprise he condemns Trump and said "he could have stopped these criminals"
Hey Turtle. there were no criminals when Trump was speaking.
your sacred Senate is blowing white smoke but your leadership is corrupt and ossified, So it's game on.
The Trump Populists vs. the upper crust Bushes and Swamp Republicans.
Slice that baby right down the middle and see which part lives…

Hey, Trump was able to call back his army at any time. He was pleased because they were doing what he wanted. This whole insurrection was caused and promoted by him. Do you advocate overthrowing the American government? No need to respond, that is what you are backing.
The point was Trump could have stopped them and did not, even when politicians and police were begging him to do so. Trump was at fault through it all and Mcconnell said it when it was done.
