not at all, the fdic can't be trusted any longer, and that's only up to 100k 250k when it was under trustworthy management, and people had the expectation of being made whole by the federal government if their bank failed. yeah, no, there are no safe answers here. this ghost valuation of the market propped up on yesterdays laws of american commerce though, whoof. someday soon somebody somewhere is going to say "the emporer has no clothes" and then it all comes down.
same thing, same stories as 4 years ago, and even after over a million covid dead from this fucking asshole's inept pandemic response, young democrats didn't vote, stupidest shit i've ever seen in my life
ok, i've said "no to oligarchy" three times now, out loud. now what? is there a little dance i need to do, an incantation, blood letting? awaiting further instructions bernie.
IBM, Coca Cola were offered on the American Stock Exchange you potted plant, not the Nazi stock exchange, and Volkswagen was using Jewish slave labor at Auschwitz to make their cars, what the fuck are you talking about. Fascism isn't good for business, it's always destructive. The American Stock exchange still governed by sanity and the underlying business law back by the Constitution functioned as it should during WW2, not the fucking Nazi stock exchange, jesus fuck
All of that makes sense only if you fundamentally misunderstand the concept of "underpinnings". The German stock market was valueless to anyone, and it's stocks not worth the paper they were printed on when the Nazis took over, only German companies being offered on American stock exchanges kept and grew, and realized their value during and after the war. You sounded smart there for a minute, until I thought about what you wrote. It's like your whistling in a hurricane, a south park cop saying nothing to see here nothing to see here.
yes financial value isn't intrinsic, it's created, but it's created by group acclimation, a thing is worth what a) someone of a group of someones says it's worth AND by b) a second group who is willing to pay what the first group has valued that thing at, for that thing. but it's an understanding, which is based in observable, recordable, and prooveable metrics BASED equally on the intangible of trust in the underlying business system upon which it is offered. That second bit can't exist in the current environment, when the Constitution and all law based on it, are becoming meaningless.
The "full faith and credit of the united states government" as expressed and guaranteed in American dollars, is probably pretty safe for a while at least, as most of the world's nations economies still base their own currency on the us dollar, but that's going to unravel at some point sooner than later i imagine
Musk is right now as we speak, and for the last two weeks, mainlining destroying American Institutional power, dude it tapped directly in, it's coursing through him. I'm not sure a couple people with signs out front of his space centers and electric car showrooms are going to move the needle, but hey if that' where you want to spend your time, have at it.
it's not unreasonable for anybody, that's a facile and childish reading of what i wrote, it is unreasonable to expect the white house press corp to push into territory it knows will get they and their publications banned, after watching all the same exact mainstream media both sides trump and republicans for the last 8 years through his re-election, it takes a real fucking moron to imagine that now, is the time that they grow a backbone and journalistic ethics
the press need to pay their own rents, and buy food, and clothes, and send little timmy and mary sue to summer camp, if they get locked out, they've got nothign to write about except for getting locked out, and then they lose their jobs. depending on white house reporters to stand up to the fascist is unreasonable, standing up to the the fascist white house for new orginizations is untennable for their bottom lines. cowards all, surely, but there's a reason the rest will fall in line. their business is stories, without content they're just complaining.
bad news, truly, this is what i believe from all evidence i've seen, most european nations have no standing armies, and no conventional weapons stockpiles, only uk and france have nukes. europe will begin to cauterize ukraine soon in order to concentrate on their own borders, but their defense spending has been so low, for so long, they couldn't offer a token defense to the russians (not even mentioning the americans) in 10 years, and that's if they started diverting enourmous parts of their gdp currrently going to social services like health care, yesterday
I don't see how any other single human being could have done a better job at leading and defending Ukraine these last 3 years than Zelensky has. The only reason Russia/Trump is pushing for elections is so Russia can interfe with them.
