Some people joke about Carney's lack of a "celebrity charisma", or being "too boring".

Tells you all you need to know about why the US is going through its current "historic chapter".

Better to have an economist learn how to be a politician, than a politician learn to be an economist. Too many countries allow themselves and their parliaments devolve into complete fish markets where the person talking the loudest, or getting the cheapest "gotcha" moment, are deemed to be "awesome".

Give me boring, please. "interesting times" are only good to learn about in history books, not as they happen.

May you live in interesting times is a curse, not a blessing.

Friggin love this meme template. Why was that little boy so mad? What did he want to do that day instead of getting his pictures taken? I relate, little dude.

I think they are headshots for an acting resume. So he is upset about being a child celebrity

I was watching a video of an american that lives abroad saying he is trying to get a new nationality at the country he lives at, because he thinks the country, and other countries as well, may not want americans around for much longer. He said he's afraid things may escalate. I thought that was so crazy! how fast you can go from feeling safe and privileged to suddanly feeling like you are hated by everyone. 100 DAYS!

Looking at quite a few reactions from other countries, a lot of them seem to want to brain drain the hell out of the US.

I mean, I'm down, I want to get off Mr. bones' Wild Ride.

Please brain drain me, I hate this country, it is a fascist shithole doomed to repeat over and over again with endless bumper crops of naive but extremely confident libertarians and conservatives who shout down any kind of adult nuanced conversation and flip randomly between being manipulated by their own racism that they loudly and violently deny and reinventing basic things very badly while refusing to learn anything from previous people who tried the same thing.

Looking from outside I see it more like single people being afraid. I've seen some people wanting to come back because they are afraid. When you have a harvard grad taken from the street it's really hard to feel like investing in a career in the US. It's just unstable for outsiders (even if we know white people don't have to worry about it)

I'm partway through learning the language, but I moved my family over 2 years back when I felt which way the wind was blowing.

I'm less worried for myself, I can (and have) literally lived anywhere and will manage, but it feels so good to have them safe in what I consider the best country in the world right now.

Flying back feels like flying into a banana republic, or honestly China in the 10s.

I voted for him. But he is still a Lib and we still need something better.
