Burning 20% of GDP in debt can’t be sustained. The only way out of this is severe austerity (which people will vote their way out of) or hyperinflation which people cannot vote their way out of.
Looks like it’s going to get ugly in our life time.
Just wait until they try to kick out all these fighting aged men.
Or pwsafe. Open source format. Encrypted file. I sync across a cloud service. They have the file, they don’t have the password. NSA can decrypt it when I’m dead.
Gotta protect the real pipeline. I’m sure there are many things happening in that corrupt country that certain people in power do not want revealed.
Embers in the wind can land in a boat, or water. Only the boat burns.
Don’t worry. They’ll alter the soil temp data soon to make it colder in the past and warmer in the present, then declare they have identified a dangerous trend.
They’ve done it with most of the other temperature records.
Life is a sequence of happy accidents. Each unlocks the potential for several others. The first one took a long time.
Alternatively, humanity used to be advanced. Fully woke, fully recyclable (all products, buildings, clothing, cars, computers, everything biodegradable). Information density at the molecular level (we are there today with hard drives and memory sticks). A civilization collapse would leave nothing but myths behind.
I wonder how long before they turn off the natural gas services. My homes in the USA have natural gas piped in… I need to start figuring out a place to drop a propane pad.
Civil and Criminal trials should have the same standards of proof. It’s complete bullshit that a person’s livelihood (wealth, future income) can be stolen from an accusation lacking in evidence sufficient to convict them of the crime.
We see this shit play out in the bogus rape allegations against conservatives (e.g. Kavanaugh, Trump) that seek to destroy their political careers, but clearly lack standing or evidence sufficient to convict (ie. No one filed a police report 30 years ago).
Yea sure, but I am real, right? Right?
Do you avoid sunlight? Own a microwave? Have electric motors? You are surrounded by electromagnetic radiation whether you like it or not. Your body can handle it.
Not trying to defend the dollar, it continues to accelerate it’s journey into worthlessness. However, this isn’t the first time the U.S. devalued their coins. Quarters, dollars and 50 cent pieces used to be made of silver. Pennies used to be pure copper. I read that a few years ago, a nickel was made of $0.11 of nickel.
This debasement is not new. It’s just another depressing step toward default.
Buy a gold coin. They’re amazing.
Probably just part of the plan to undermine the stolen election theory. Now they will point at this to explain that it was deboonked. See, Alex Jones owes them a trillion dollars, sandy hook was real. See, Fox owes them a billion dollars, election was legit.
And in six more months they will stop the bivalent shots too. In a year, they will declare everything forgotten and claim young people have always died suddenly.
No. Management. I get paid more if my team performs better, therefore, I am incentivized to help them grow their skills, capabilities, and career. The better I do with the teams I am assigned, the more people I am given to manage. The more people I manage, the more I get paid.
Humans manage toxins in manufacturing All. The. Time. This is not the reason. The reason plastics are not recycled is because it’s cheaper to make new ones from oil than develop recycling processes that actually work.
I don’t think VR / AR goggles will ever take off. They can be disorienting. No one else can appreciate what you are seeing or experiencing. Even regular glasses (or contacts) cause fatigue and eye strain.
We’re going to end up with screens and display surfaces. Holographic ones too, but things everyone can see and enjoy without wearing crap on their faces.
Well, you have to be careful…
I wonder if someone has created an inverse ESG ETF? I bet that’s a good investment.
Money.
People create cities around ports. Ports enable commerce, cities rise up. Cities get into high density people, living on top of one another. Fighting. Stealing. Killing. People have bad ideas how to handle such things. Some get really tough on crime, put to death a lot of young misguided young adults. Some get really soft on crime, robberies and homicides skyrocket. Commerce keeps growing, politicians keep asking for more money to “solve” the crime problem. More money leads to corruption… people seeking power for its own sake, not to serve the people. Eventually they realize if they keep the crises going, they can always ask for more money and more power, forever.
2020 lockdowns changed a lot of people's perspective. I'm open to the idea she's coming around. Like I said, she could just be setting up the inevitable betrayal.
That's certainly what we told ourselves when I was starting out. Now it just sounds like naive envy. I spend most of my time now helping people grow in their careers and double their income. Doesn't feel like selling my soul.
People who took a second dose and died within 14 days count as "1 dose" people on that chart too.
Well, she’s convincing enough to setup the inevitable betrayal. Most of her policy stances seem people oriented. Unfortunately, the skin suit only comes off after they get in office and continue the traitorous policy making.
What the fuck. This is flat out treason against the US Citizenry.
