Too long that poor oil has been held down, segregated, just because it is heavy crude with a high sulfur content It suffers rampant bigotry.

The government and taxpayers did not receive a single benefit from Iraq or Afghanistan despite paying for it all.

And yes true to form the CIA used money from the drug trade to pay for Black Ops we can presume.

But that does not mean that our political leaders and their donor Pals did not get oil from Iraq. All gains are privatized and kicked back to the polits.

We would not invade, they would blow shit up, blow up their infrastructure, bomb them. Even they are not stupid enough to do an invasion at this point in time.

What they would do is try to seduce a faction of the army to initiate a coup, maybe in that case we might contribute some troops to a specific action to help. I don’t think these guys are capable enough to pull that off though.

Cold War 2, the fascist boogaloo and the enemy within.

It is hard to appreciate anything the European Union is doing with their chat control.

I do not know if they are also trying to put everyone into the masturbatorbase, for national security purposes many governments now need to know every page you have considered whacking off to.

Also just so happens connecting your likeness and ID to your IP allows them to see everything you do and say online.

For the kids. The kids that will also have everything they do and say recording.

Did elon’s ridiculously high payment of $60 billion or whatever it was go through? And what was that just for one year?

The intrinsic value of the entire company is not more than 10 billion. The stock market is a joke.

It is not limited to the tech Nazis. Is a fairly large group of super rich, but I would add Elon Musk is just beef front clown of thiel and his technofascists. I think some yarvin fellow is the Brain Trust on it.

They want a market free from antitrust enforcement.

Preferably one with barriers to entry for new players.

Luckily for them that is exactly what they have. Or exactly as they have engineered I should say.

No I was not aware of that. That would explain a lot. Thanks for letting me know. It is my fault for commenting on a memes group anyway.

What we need is a restoration of the post-war years until the seventies when the Business Roundtable made a long game to overturn the New Deal and resulting reforms that led to the prosperity of the working class, never before rivaled in history. Not now obviously. We are quite rivaled in prosperity, well eclipsed by Western europe.

Obviously it wasn’t perfect in the post-war years but the rich after an obscene level of pay face 90% taxes. Banks could only operate in three states, consumer and Commercial Banking was separate, an originator of a Financial Security had to hold a percentage of that security until maturity, and Anti-Trust laws were enforced to name just a few achievements that have been undone in our modern era.

You are right that dropping the Constitution and making something new would lead to something worse at this moment in time. The Constitution is a solid framework however lacking it may be, it is just it is not honored by our political and Judicial Systems. We need a restoration.

The problem is they don’t care what we think. They think they can just bully us into voting for the lesser of two evils indefinitely as if the Republicans are not going to fix elections. The Democratic Leadership and power Brokers are hopeless.

Without new leadership we are fucked and 2028 might be our last chance before the fix is in tight. And it will have to be a popular aggressive campaign to overcome the fixes they are going to put in already.

A lot of people are voting reform, we all know they don’t know what the Republicans are necessarily.

With the Democrats running as the status quo in this time of the plutocratic stealing of our lunches, this was inevitable with Republicans running as a reform.

These Democrats need focus groups and studies to tell them what they should know already. Instead of making public opinion with a strong campaign they just play to the campaigns started by others.

We need new leadership. No shit, popular politicking is more popular in popular elections.

No shit?

Yet in the post war years a minimum wage job would pay for a house and a cheap car and life’s essentials.

They changed the way inflation is measured starting around the 70s. After the 1972 business roundtable made a long game to undo the new deal and workers gains.

Ah you started off so well but then you ruined it with a gratuitous insult, piss off mate

I have already told you this multiple times. Respond to my actual points I have made or piss off

You are so hip with your dog references there buddy. But pal I must tell you, we have 5-8 work weeks, and anything over that is time and a half. Because unions.

Because your grandfather’s, instead of manufacturing politically correct in fractions to attack people on, organized and fought to get a fair share of economic output for their labor.

I never said anything specifically about China originally, you are the one that framed it like that incorrectly. Eastern style government refers to non liberal democracies as everybody who reads current and past events of the era knows. Which is not you guys.

If you want to talk about China, they are a whore of Western corporations, gaining our tech and getting their factories built by western capital to save those companies money by undercutting us on labor and environmental cost, while selling all of their citizens out to destitute servitude.

It also shows a lack of logic. Because Republicans make bad faith attacks on china, all attacks on China are Republican in bad faith. It happens over and over on every subject.

The Republicans attack a federal agency that is failing, because they want to make them worse, and the Democrats and their sheep defend everything about that agency and not just the bad faith parts. You should do better you are not helping you are making things worse.
