That's a really scary wall of text without a single citation or hard fact. You went to a lot of effort just to say you're really not informed on this matter at all.

I'll point you to the work the Land Deal Politics Initiative has done over the past decade. Or even just do a simple Google search "are land grabs more common now". Simple stuff.

Good day, sir.

Oh, jesus. Of course it's not the exact same government, but it's America and America is comprised of people and people are fundamentally the same as they were 200 years ago. Ignoring that, this will work because if anything Land Grabs are waaay more common now than they were back then.

This is the same government that brought us the Louisiana Purchase and Seward's Folly, both of which were really cheap land grabs. They just need to find a quasi-official way for someone to accept the terms and then execute the terms by force. The $10,000 agreement is their legal shield for taking the land by force.

Team Mammal. Y'all are just a bunch of homers.

All good and well founded research has a definite end date for revealing results.

When we visited Claiborne Farms in Kentucky, I was surprised how many peppermints they gave Orb, one of the Derby winners that was there. I guess it's not a lot of teeth to brush and keep clean though.

I hope she got some peppermints for being so cooperative.

A heckin concern.

And there's only a neutered SEC left to investigate.

Damn, I guess the artist really does have to educate the critic.

The spectacle and witnessing something revolutionary makes the person feel like they're a part of history. A modern equivalent is any time that happens. The article is irrelevant, whether it's a huge hard drive or an artificial heart or a robotic arm or a human dinosaur hybrid being loaded into a cargo crate doesn't matter.

So you can see the Blackberry phone holster on their belts.

How do tariffs, which ostensibly are meant to drive manufacturing back to the states, going to effect the deficit? I get that it's functionally a tax on consumers, but it shouldn't last long enough to put a dent in our budget deficit.

So just murder the plaintiffs and then get a pardon?

Kidding. That wouldn't happen.....

Kroger has better produce.

All he must do is explain the logic behind the decision using real economic concepts and theories. We're all keenly aware of why he isn't doing that.

Yeah, look past the self-righteous grandstanding to see it for the big wealth transfer that it is.

I guess I was thrown when you said a loan for a used car was wild.

0% for a used car?
