The truth is that the south has perfected the art of double speak and gets away with saying horrid dog whistles for 40+ years and then blushes and puts their finger on their chin and goes "whoooo, meeee?" when it's called out for what it is in plain English. "I wouldn't feel responsible if anything happened to Fauchi" while simultaneously calling him evil the devil wicked china virus and then removing a security detail. But because Trump didn't explicitly say "I hope harm comes to Fauchi and you should get him" it doesn't count. It's bullshit and everyone knows it.
One political party has played by the rules while the other rewrites their language and erodes their purpose and claims that party 1 doesn't play by the rules enough. Moving goalposts.
Democrats will always fight over the rules while Republicans are busy changing the game and watching everyone catch up too late.
It's anti vax and anti regulation so basically a maga wet dream. Squeeze cow, milk, ta da. In reality to the other 3/4 of humanity it's a microbial breeding ground for unfiltered mutations and diseases because you're just trusting the entire food chain leading up to the cow has been healthy and unmutated.
Pasteurized milk goes through a process where you filter out unwanted microbes or unsafe mutations before bottling the milk. It's like boiling water before drinking vs drinking from a puddle.
I always knew I'd never see a dime of my social security and federal tax payments I've paid into my whole working life. I'm coming up on 40 and have been through several "once in a lifetime" financial crashes/resets, endless war in the middle east, etc and now fat orange is simply stealing the budget and never paying it back. You will never see that money, it's gone now. It's going into elons next business venture aka buying America from you without asking.
If you make it so nobody can retire anymore, then you'll be faced with 2 choices... Die at home crying not being able to afford care or medical aid or die fighting nazis.
They want child labor to fill the gap in factories and service industries now that they are kicking out the browns and gays. This is so stupid, evil, short sighted, and vindictive.
Name one thing OUR ALL REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT has done that's positive since taking office. Anything. I'll wait. They're too busy going "government is broken! Elect me and I'll prove it!" for 40 years.
George Carlin would be proud
Laws are ignored now that R are just using Trump to sign p25 documents and then go golfing.
I'm confused, your first post is about how we need to go back to bartering and personal debt one on one without involving banks or money, and now you are advocating credit cards? What's the message here? Those are 2 different things.
Maybe that worked when you knew everyone in town or that they'd be where you can find them again, but not in a global economy. You can't lend Joe Random 3 goats and he will pay you back if he simply is in another country doing business or is in town for the weekend. Try getting in your car and telling a random shop you don't have cash but you'll pay them back. This logic goes out the window as soon as you involve strangers.
Money isn't real but the idea everyone agrees on subconsciously is it is a medium of exchange.
You have a goat and I have 50 apples. You want my apples but I don't want your goat. OK. Bye bye, good luck finding the next customer.
Or
Sell the goat for the value of 50 apples, and then I can turn that into the new lamp I wanted instead.
Not everyone wants a goat but if you can float the value of something as an IOU (cash) then it's useful.
Same reason why people like crypto, it's the idea of cash but with math securing it's scarcity vs guns and vaults of gold.
I'm pretty sure all these tech companies want to research glasses so much because it's the last real estate before reading your thoughts with a wifi hat. If it can track eye movements, pupil dilation, hear you, etc then it basically knows everything about you as a human commodity. Cell phones have tracking and browsing data but glasses offer your mind to advertising. Knowing what you look at, who you talk with, how you browse, what you delete before retyping a message, your bank pin, anything that you can see.
I'd rather have a Bluetooth earpiece with AI/google assistant/alexa thst does stuff when I want it. What's the weather in 4 hours? Do I have anything in my calendar today? Where is the nearest gas station? I don't want a chess winning butt plug that tracks my bowel movements and sells me toilet paper.
Haha it would be soooo funny to crash the global economy you are right. Totally a lol moment for you and your loved ones!
