he didn't agree, it's not for now as if on a whim
he is forced to just like demagogues are forced to by political pressure (private people, public figures, economical actors, juridical invocations)
Its absolutely horrible to say this, but I wish the benefits are not renewed because i think this might have been the only fucking thing that would have taken him down.
To openly deny people food and openly say 'I don't give a shit' while more and more people get more and more pissed off, either from desperation themselves, or for empathy for the people in those situations. I really think it would have been the start of the revolt we needed.
If people get their food, the anger will start to fade to an acceptable level, and not a "let's burn this fucking system to the ground and drag every evil person out of the whitehouse" mob, we would have needed.
No, he's fucking with the airports, too. People who fly tend to vote and have money. This will not sit well with them.
