The top 10% of the US holds 68% of the nation’s personal wealth. This is about $102 trillion. How is it possible that Social Security is about to become insolvent?
It is a fact- the Reflecting Pool has indeed been vandalized- similar to much of our national government. The culprit is a healthy but nearly obese serial liar.
“Our ally” Israel is bombing now precisely because they are aware that Trump (Emperor of Lies) is claiming a peace deal (or whatever) is in the offing.
They will do whatever they can to shut it down.
Young people (20’s and below) increasingly use AI to communicate. I am wrestling with the ethics of transparency in this respect. If one “communicates well,” this redounds to one’s benefit, yet the AI has supported this (AI use is itself a skill). Costs the person? Wealth=smarts.
Andy Biggs should commit to decline office if he wins in November since the elections are rigged. Of course they are rigged when he loses and fair when he wins. Additionally the rigging claim reduces voting and pre-sets fund-raising and other rhetorical advantages with his base.
Every human being on the planet should be paid 2000/month by AI companies- they use the evolution of the human brain for profit. The tech will not help most people, and will harm most people. I would decline the money- don’t need it- such declinations could be fed back to folks.
While JD Vance parades on about “fraud” (Blame the Poor! Tour). The real issue is corruption in the top 10%. This is a developing debate in national politics, on which, as usual the Democrats are right and MAGA is off the planet.
Fuck everyone on this shitty platform.
Anyway Abrego Garcia will hopefully apply for the idiotic and illegal anti- weaponization money.
By the way, for the retards atop DOJ- is the memo a waiver of prosecutorial immunity? (Qualified or otherwise)?
Oh yeah, and fuck off.
@brivael The discussion amounts to Utopianism-Pursuing a mythical unattainable ideal, the pursuit of which causes ruin. It gives rise to what we have now, a sort of facade rife with self perpetuating self deceiving mystifications.
@benonwine Define western civilization- Trump is one of the the biggest threats to western civilization since it all started (as well as everything else).
In about 2 weeks- with a few more on-target missile shots- he and Pete will start talking about nukes for Tehran.
What then?
@brivael There is so much wrong with this typing, it’s difficult to choose a starting point. Suffice it thus: you are confusing value with price. Use valid examples- 400 hours on an ugly chair? Mao tried the “every house a steel mill” thing- didn’t work. Try: where does profit come from?
@CreativeDeduct@jaradkoby The evidence is clear- “allowing free markets to work” results in a swift dissolution of the free market(s). In other words: free markets do not work. Similar to fishing in a dry creek bed. No matter how many casts- no fish. Try something else.
