Nope it really isn't. In the short term, this may be look nice since it leads to policy you like getting passed, but in the long term, this kind of thing decreases social trust and increases political instability. This part is just an opinion, but I think this contributes to the ever increasing polarization in the country. Its not healthy for America. The book, How Democracies Die, actually goes over the effects of loss of faith in political institutions. Spoiler alert: Its not good.

Gotta get one thing off my chest that's been bugging me I see a lot of people arguing about white privilege and most instantly mention slavery yet seem to ignore the forgotten slave trade https://www.amazon.com/Forgotten-Slave-Trade-European-Slaves/dp/1526769263#aw-udpv3-customer-reviews_feature_div this book details some interesting facts about how over a century before African slave trade there were white slaves enslaved by pocs.
Here's a little bit of interesting information for you. Everybody knows about the transatlantic slave trade, which saw black Africans snatched from their homes, taken across the Atlantic Ocean and then sold into slavery. However, a century before Britain became involved in this terrible business, whole villages and towns in England, Ireland, Italy, Spain and other European countries were being depopulated by slavers, who transported the men, women and children to Africa where they were sold to the highest bidder. This is the forgotten slave trade; one which saw over a million Christians forced into captivity in the Muslim world.

Definitions are not objective, so even if I didn't have a source it would still be a valid definition, as long as people use the expression in the way I described it.

Yes, the at the time forerunner to be the Chinese president admitted as much in a diplomatic memo
"China's GDP figures are "man-made" and therefore unreliable, the man who is expected to be the country's next head of government said in 2007, according to U.S. diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks.
Li Keqiang, head of the Communist Party in northeastern Liaoning province at the time, was unusually candid in his assessment of local economic data at a dinner with then-U.S. Ambassador to China Clark Randt, according to a confidential memo sent after the meeting and published on the WikiLeaks website."
" All other figures, especially GDP statistics, are 'for reference only,' he said smiling," the cable added."

Family Rejection of Trans Teens' Gender Results in Significantly Increased Rates of Suicide and Substance Abuse
>After adjusting for sociodemographic factors, having experienced high levels of family rejection was associated with almost three and half times the odds of suicide attempts and two and a half times the odds of substance misuse, compared to those who experienced little or no family rejection. Having experienced only moderate levels of family rejection was associated with almost twice the odds of suicide attempts and over 1.5 times the odds of substance misuse.

>These findings suggest the importance of investigating and addressing stigmatization experienced by transgender persons by close others, not only by broader society, structures, and systems.

The US ranks 27th out of 85 studied countries based on internet affordability, is surpassed by China and India
Would have never thought that China and India have more affordable internet than the US, but evidently they do, according to this study. The US ranks just 27th on the list, while Canada, for example, is 2nd. Other key findings from the study were recently featured by Statista which is how I came to know about this.
Interesting findings, and dare I say not common knowledge?

NordVPN, Tunnelbear and a few others aren't most of the industry.
And you just completely ignored the guy's point. Look for VPN in an app store or on Google.
