A lot of good that halliburton money will do you in hell, eh dick? Rest in piss.

Dr. Oz is a heart surgeon, but that doesn’t prevent him from selling bullshit.

This is why I always check the ingredients list.

Advancing tech was sold as a way to make all our lives better. Here is an instance of tech making our lives better, but instead companies dismiss it because the real purpose of tech for the capital class is control.

Biden is israel’s bitch.

“The good cop and the bad cop aren’t 100% the same!”

You’re so right, support for genocide was just a minor mark against perfection. Keep compromising, soon you’ll be agreeing that democrats shouldn’t fight for marriage equality because some other issue is on the table and we shouldn’t let perfect be the enemy of slightly better than rabid nazis.

Not just Bill Gates, huh?

What we need is a wealth tax. If you don’t want wealth to be hoarded, then you tax it. The rich and their stooges online will parrot that “wealth taxes don’t work” precisely because it is the only tax that does work and that is why they oppose it.

I don’t understand what part you’re saying doesn’t work. Obviously paying down the debt doesn’t work if someone does the opposite right after, that’s true of everything.

I wouldn’t say manageable, it was only a matter of time before the debt would topple over since it compounds. That’s just what happens with anything that has assumed infinite growth. Deliberately burning down the economy of course accelerates the collapse.

Slowly? Isn’t just the interest payment on the debt like $1 trillion a year now?

I’m not driving between neighborhoods much, but I do see for sale signs here and there. What I notice a lot more, however, are tons of for lease signs in front of business real estate.

Trust is why I brought up a federal reserve issued digital currency. The federal reserve already creates US dollars. This would be the same except there wouldn’t be an entity printing physical dollars and you’d need an account to work with it, like a debit or credit card.

People already mostly pay through mobile, cards, online, etc. The trust is already there. Digital currencies don’t have to be a cryptocurrency. A well-known institution like the federal reserve could issue a digital currency and provide assurances for stability of value as well as measures like the ability to roll back fraudulent transactions. Since it’s just a number in a database and not tied up in investments, you wouldn’t even need the FDIC since your account and the amount of money in your account will remain as long as the federal reserve is still around.

All part of the roadmap.

Any day now…

The people protesting the genocide weren’t enough political pressure? She essentially told them to shut up and then ignored them. Tell me, how would she be more willing to listen to them after she didn’t need their votes?

You said:

If your goal was to stop the genocide, you should’ve voted for the person that values human lives

I said:

Neither of the top two candidates qualify.

Then you disagreed citing isolated examples of caring about human lives while ignoring the platform of genocide she hitched her wagon to. I pointed out how her examples of “caring” were out of political convenience. If you acknowledge that she’s not a good person, then you agreed with me from the beginning but decided to try to defend her anyway.

Harris has only tried to do the right thing if it was politically convenient. Remember in the debate when she called out the racist history of Biden? Magically she dropped all that when she became his VP. Similarly, she was willing to run with the genocide platform because she thought it would help her chances at the presidency. Yes, she’s the better choice, but even the better choice is not good enough. Neither candidate was willing to do something about the genocide and I think that’s something important to recognize.

It doesn’t mean I think she wasn’t the better candidate and it doesn’t mean I think people shouldn’t have voted for her, but when we’ve come to the point where genocide is being actively supported with Biden sending billions of dollars in weapons to the cause and Harris hitching her trailer to that dumpster fire (and this is supposed to be the “good” party) then the situation is just absolutely fucked.
