Definitely not the sort of outcome you'd expect from Kentucky but I'd urge caution by not looking into a poll too much, especially after 2016 and given how highly charged the current climate is. A better

I agree with Hive having a downvote system, that wasn't my problem. My problem is the amount of power a downvote from a whale can actually have, particularly when it is used as I highlighted. No platform

Thanks for the support! I knew that whales had an upper hand on Steem/Hive but I didn't realise quite how damaging a downvote from one could be. To be honest, I was surprised to see that my reputation

That's a fair point, the timing of Covid is unfortunate and I agree that it is likely to have contributed somewhat. People are at breaking point for a number of reasons and whether or not you agree with

I'm with you, something does need doing. We can't keep going on like this. To be honest, the main issue comes with the double standards and the hypocrisy of the media. I'm not sure if you're in the US

Thanks for the reply! I don't think there is anything the government nor the police could have done to prevent the protest from happening and perhaps maybe that's the way it should be in a free society.

Thanks for the support. I'm just someone who has become disenfranchised with the one street portrayed by the media, especially when they downplay events such as this or make it appear as they passed off

Thanks for the support. It's a shame because this sort of behaviour and flaw in the system only drives people away.

I joined Steem a few years back and enjoyed the sense of community that was there, you had real people commenting and discussions were often productive. It was still a bit gamey with regards to trying

Well said. We all should be outraged at the murder of George Floyd, not just because he was a black man but because he was a human who had his life taken away for no good reason. Unfortunately, these riots

Completely agree, you can't fight violence with violence and nor can you fight racism with racism.

The media here in the UK has been covering the riots in the USA extensively and have done nothing but try to downplay the violence. One ITV News segment had the reporter stating that the protest had been

I think your final sentence is a good summary of how this will end. The violence and riots undermines the fight against genuine injustices and for change. The people who will be the most affected by this

It would definitely appear that the situation in the US has eased up slightly. For starters there's been very little coverage of any events that happened overnight here in the UK and for the past week

The protest that took place in London was inspired by George Floyd with the protesters also appearing to use it as an opportunity to protest against perceived police brutality and racism here in the UK,

Fundamental change is needed but simply putting this down as an issue of race greatly simplifies the problem. Everyone should have the right to protest so long as it is peaceful but unfortunately too many

I'd love it if Bitcoin went to $300,000 but I'm not sure if it ever will to be honest. One thing that is for sure though is that crypto is definitely a long-term hold!

In the one hand, we do need to protect children more and I think everyone would agree that's a good thing, however, it's a fine line between making the internet safer and heavily regulating it. Hopefully,

These kind of round-up posts are great! You've gained yourself a new follower :)

It was great watching Tiger Woods finally win a major again yesterday. It makes for a great story for why you should never give up and why you should always continue to fight for your dreams, no matter
