  • Depends on how you define the economy. The economy won't be good in the eyes of the average person until there has been a huge redistribution of wealth back to lower classes.

  • The rest are the AfD

  • Probably allowing everything but producing reproductions.

    Basically they could use the ideas from the book and whatnot to do whatever. But they couldn't just print duplicates with a different cover and sell them for cheaper.

  • It will be hard, but it's not impossible. If you start organizing early you could get enough pissed off people. It would probably end up collapsing one of the parties in only one or two election cycles (likely Democrats) anyway.

  • Never going to happen. They have given everything to MAGA, if Trump is out of the picture then it's game over. No one cares about Vance, the population would be so enraged he would be impeached and removed faster then you can imagine.

  • Labor shortage is just code speak for we don't want to train people or pay the appropriate wage.

  • Jesus fucking Christ we need a working families party so bad in this country. Why isn't Bernie, AOC or any other leader starting to coordinate such a thing?

  • Religion is a net harm in my opinion. For every person that is inspired to do good, an equal amount do as much or greater harm by doing bad in the name of religion. That's not even to mention the weird thought processes that arise from the afterlife concept... Climate change not mattering being a prime example.

    I fail to see how people need a moral code written by god to be good. I think if you somehow could mind wipe the earth of religion, there would be a similar number of equally good and bad people here. You certainly wouldn't have to worry about dominionists provoking war to start the beginnings of their idealized end times.

  • That's the thing that always bothered me about religion. There's no sales pitch, its just indoctrination. There's a million different varieties of religion, and supposedly only one of them is "correct"

    Judaism seems to make the most sense to me of the monotheistic varieties because there is no demi gods like Christianity. But clearly religion isn't about religion, it's more about having an in group.

  • If I were them I would just re barrel it and sell it as like a 15 year aged Bourbon a decade later or so.

  • Isn't step one or two to implement arbitrary tariffs to fund the reserve?

  • Well two thirds or more of their portfolio should be in bond markets if they are close to retirement.

  • I actually think I know how he plans on "legally" stealing the money for himself too.

    Remember that sovereign wealth fund? I would bet dollars to donuts that he is going to funnel the tariff money into that. Then he uses that money to buy crypto, which pumps up the whole market including his coin. Then they sell off some of there crypto assets, rinse and repeat.

  • The bougie ones have glass... That might be what they are referring to.

    I do a lot of hiking and most often it's plastic. Weirdly you find the glass covered ones in usually boring trails in small towns that seem very rarely traveled. I have even seem some that are just cork board, with nothing covering it. The pages are either lamented, or less desirably slipped into a 3 ring binder type sleeve and stapled.

  • That's a cool story considering Silk Road 1.0 was shut down in 2013 and 2.0 in 2014.
