Tabloid magazine? ... it's more like scribbled pieces of paper written by random strangers on the sidewalk ... people keep reading the crap and walk away happy that their worst beliefs have just been confirmed by 100 random strangers with scribbled pieces of paper who told them so.

No .... if people want to watch it live go ahead ... if not they can read the news story.

I just thought it was a significant world news story of a fairly good person who was able to have some international influence and use it for good causes ... a type of individual that we are sorely lacking in the world these days.

Thanks for that .... like I mentioned to friends and associates in public and online ... I thought it was just important to highlight the event as he was US President, and also most long lived US President at 100 years of age ... and the fact that after his retirement, he did so much international aide organization work, either to support or to just lend his name and personality to it.

It's becoming a rare thing to see a world leader honestly, publicly and through their own actions actually join in and take part in grass roots organizations and even get down and dirty to the point of working at an actual construction site, not just for a single photo op but on a regular basis whether cameras were rolling or not.

 

How many are watching the President Carter Funeral proceedings.

I have my complaints about the US and US politics and news but I wanted to watch some of this event just to see this historic event. Of all the modern US presidents, living and recently deceased, Carter was one of the most respected of them all.

It had everything to do with human greed.

As long as there is the suggestion or possibility, no matter how remote that anyone of us can become enormously wealthy, we won't want to change the system.

 

I'm Canadian and a liberal left leaning politically. I have my complaints about the US, US government and US politicians, however I always appreciated President Jimmy Carter.

It's an historical event and one that doesn't happen often during our lifetimes.

I was wondering how many of you in the US and in the world are watching.

By age alone, he's already acquired 10% of the vote in whatever election he joins .... get him to commit a felony and he'll gain another 5% .... some sort of sexual misconduct 5% ... say he's Christian (even if he's not) another 5%

Or just don't vote and move along

Exactly, and it probably took several instances of this happening going back to 1950 before they finally decided to make that warning label.

And painted the whole room with a pretty green colored lead paint.

It feels shitty and I was doing the same thing all day. I had to resurrect my lemmy.world account just to get back online. It's made me realize that I should maintain both accounts for shut downs like this. And now I'm also having to do more in maintaining my Mastodon account too.

Weird to think what happens when you lose a site you visit on a regular basis. I can understand the whole instance going down but us users just get lost when things get turned off. There's no way to know what happened, why or when or if anything will return.

I had to resurrect my old lemmy.world account to figure out what happened. I guess we have to hang on to two or more unique instance accounts in case our main instance goes down.

Stay well guys and I totally appreciate the admins of lemmy.ca and all the work they do. I'll patiently wait and look forward to seeing it online again.
