Decreasing the number of Nurses & Teachers is another stupid result of the recent big billionaire bailout bill
You elect bribed politicians...
An amazing situation in the USA

We have massive issues in KR with getting an adequate amount of doctors - one of the few things that Pres. Yoon did before his failed coup attempt was fight to increase the number since we are in a rapidly aging society and there are massive issues with doctor shortages in rural parts of the country, but the doctors union is too powerful.
They go on strike to prevent growing their numbers.

Who doesn't?
You have two choices:
- Dictatorship, supported by oligarchs
- Democracy, with politicians indebted to oligarchs
Trump is interesting because he is clearly super disruptive to a huge amount of the oligarchs who were okay whether a Bush, a Clinton, or Obama for decades.
The last time the US had such a disruptor it was the late, great Jimmy Carter.
The time before that? Nixon, who was rather promptly removed by a cabal of top military chiefs of staff and State Department actors. And before him?
JFK.
And you know what happened to him.
(Well, it's debated, but I believe he was killed by a combination of Deep State operatives loyal to the CIA and Zionism.)
Yes i agree trump is doing nothing for the people of the USA & everything for the oligarchs

I would disagree.
Obviously, he does not go against his own interest nor the interests of many other oligarchs. But he is against the majority of oligarchs, and he truly feels beholden to the American people to some degree.
Even some of the most blatant oligarch rulers like George W. Bush also feel that they were doing something good for the average person, though, right...
We view people in a very two dimensional way.
I once heard a historian say that the philosopher-king is the rule, not the exception to the rule. Nearly every court of a King was full of philosophers and intellectuals who had the ear of the King, and every King wanted to be seen as wise and intelligent. The same is true of oligarchs.
But that does not change the fact that they are oligarchs, right.
No Kings
Teachers are very important & Nurses are very important
Trump does not understand

the only 'oligarchs' he goes against are those that don't want the US to become a one-party, fascist Christian nationalist state. Also who are these people you're talking about lmao, and also can you even vote in US elections
