@DeTocqueville14 I hope the subsequent puppet will revert this abominations. It’s concerning how an actor can just rename history and some folks applaud these decisions.
#Nebraska 2 Minute Warning I may be the only one who is not disappointed in the Trump announcement today to eliminate more US Cattlemen. I don't support his decision I say it follows his pattern put forth by the WEF 2035 plan.
@hubermanlab@RogerSeheult@DrJackKruse has been the leading authority on this topic. He deserves credit for pushing the message like a bulldozer, not tiptoeing around eggshells.
55 years ago today, Nixon lied to the American people, saying he was "temporarily" suspending the dollar's convertibility into gold.
What he actually did was subject the country to a grand economic experiment, one that has caused significant economic harm to most families.
Since then, the dollar has lost over 80% of its purchasing power and the national debt has exploded from under $400 billion to over $40 trillion.
Under a gold standard, governments are restrained from simply printing fiat currency because of the limited supply of specie (gold) to back it. With that standard removed, the US could print as much as it wanted, without restraint.
And it has. Under a "temporary" suspension that persists 55 years later.
@andy_buksterlin I'm inclined to think this has been going on longer than we realize. Even in the case of beloved figures like Reagan, who was also an actor before going into politics.
@_Regenaissance Free commerce is one of the greatest sources of collaboration and peace throughout human history. Your example points out to the negative effects of government intervention, causing massive losses for everyone.
@DeTocqueville14 This appears to be consistent with Trump's strategy of unfairly losing to Biden. It was an excellent way for his administration to evade responsibility, and very easy for everyone to fall for it, given Biden's overwhelming incompetence.
@SamaHoole I prefer eternal life trough Jesus Christ...it is way less radical and more reasonable too...who would have thought? Leave eternity to God, not freaky humans
"Life expectancy has doubled since 1900. Modern food clearly works."
Marvellous. Airtight.
Picture your Victorian, dead at thirty-eight. What do you imagine finished him?
The butter on his bread?
The lard in his frying pan? The mutton off a hillside? The eggs from the yard, the milk carried in from a cow he could see out of the kitchen window?
Or was it cholera, typhus, tuberculosis, dysentery, smallpox, a splinter that went septic, a birth in a room where nobody had washed, a mill accident, a pit collapse, a war, the workhouse, and a physician who treated all of the above by opening a vein?
Nobody added a decade to that man by swapping his dripping for sunflower oil.
We added it with sewers, soap, antibiotics, and the radical proposal that a surgeon might rinse his hands between the mortuary and the maternity ward.
Margarine contributed nothing to that. Margarine has spent the intervening century quietly working the other way.
The plumbing did the lifting. Build the plumber a statue.
