You don't care that people are going bankrupt because they get cancer? You don't care your police are running wild and killing innocent civilians? You don't care that people are still defending slavery?
OK. I think I have explained myself in full and I don't get what extra chromosomes have to do with any of it. I'm done. Thank you for your time.
I'm not defending Trump. That's where your entire argument falls down. I am bemoaning the lack of an alternative to Trump that would give the American people the choices that they deserve.
The point is anyone on the left is better than the scumbag known as Donald Trump
Biden isn't on the left he's in the centre. Bernie Sanders and AOC are centre left but they ain't running the show and never will be.
Yeah, what I'm not doing is saying that both sides are equally as bad. That would be a false equivalence. I am pointing out that there would be a lot less room for people to make that false equivalence if one side were actually much better than the other rather than "less bad".
But you carry on with your centrist nonsense, with any luck the dry toast is going to beat the fascist rapist because your fellow Americans will elect to eat the rabbit shit sandwich.
Oh yah, that's sold it to me. If you're wondering where my allegiances lie, I'm a UK citizen living in London. Even the Labour Party here is to the right of me. The Democrats would never accept most of the Parliamentary Labour Party as members because centre-left here equals 'undemocratically communist' there. We've had universal healthcare since the 1940s and the Democrats still haven't been able to implement it three quarters of a century later. Why is that? Because the Democrats are just as enthralled by your cult of greed as the republicans are. Yes, the Republicans are worse in that since the Tea Party incursion they are batshit unhinged but it still doesn't make the Democrats a good choice.
The "both sides" people would have less to bang on about if Biden weren't such a poor candidate and the Democrats weren't such a poor alternative. Trump is a dogshit sandwich and Biden is merely a rabbit shit sandwich. Undoubtedly, Biden will do less long term damage to Americans (Palestinians... probably more than Trump) but I think you should be holding out for a candidate and a Party that won't make you any kind of shit.
It could indeed and has done so in the past. But the thing about it is that the price always recovers because people believe it will always be valuable. It's the belief that endures and because people will always pay for what they believe to be valuable the value of gold as a currency endures. Also the retail value of gold remains high as the single largest application is jewellerySource page So there's a conflation of the value of the labour that goes into making jewellery, adding value and in some cases the value of the piece will take that gold permanently out of circulation for use as currency e.g. the Mask of Agamemnon
Gold is agreed upon as a store of value. There's always someone willing to buy it. You're right that its intrinsic value as a material is lower than the actual price but people's belief in gold is the same as their belief in a fiat currency.
The difference is that gold is a physical asset, so that no matter what the rate of inflation or the fluctuation of the market price if you have a tonne of gold you will always have that tonne.
Also it is not administered by a central bank with a political agenda.
Lastly gold is rare and finite. Eventually there will be no more gold to be mined.
