To cut those kings and peasants some slack, medieval kingdoms weren’t nearly as centralized and Kings didn’t have nearly as much power or leeway as the American President. You’re probably thinking of absolute monarchy in the modern age.

Welcome to the United States of Arstotzka

Have you ever been the person who was kind enough to return a lost wallet? Have you also ever been the person who was accused by the person you returned it to of stealing a bunch of things (like cash) out of the wallet?

You’re saying something. I’ve heard first hand stories about angry wallet owners “shooting the messanger” so to speak. I’m from Germany but the saying “No good deed goes unpunished” rings true in most parts of the world, I think.

At least that’s what you’re supposed to do where I’m from and I doubt any of those wallets ever arrived with their full content but that’s not my problem.

More people voted against lowering grocery prices and for fascism. Sorry for those who voted for democrats or are ineligible to vote, but I have no pity for the masses. Those who refuse to listen have to feel it first hand.

To be fair he rarely every talked about the subject. Certainly didn’t mention it on his inauguration. I’m an outsider but from what I’ve seen lowering grocery prices isn’t what America voted for.
