Open borders with incentive to cross illegally, government handouts, government-forced mandates and infringements, extreme environmental policies, COVID overreach not making a bit of difference in Covid deaths, other than them increasing, dangerous globalism, demonization and defunding of law enforcement, soft-on-crime lawlessness causing crime to skyrocket, a miserably failed Afghanistan pullout, Arming enemies, Drone strikes on innocent civilians, increased taxes, inflation and regulations and an uncanny OCD emphasis on wokeism over reality, empty grocery shelves, and enemy aggression is just a taste of what you get when Democrats are in power.

I agree and disagree with you.buying a lot of unnecessary things, is the person himself to blame? Yes..
I know you have a "credit history" that everyone prays for and is forced to maintain for their normal existence. You must use credit cards all the time. are you to blame for this? no.you were taught to sit on a credit needle. for those who benefit from it, and then you are accused of superconsumption.
supercorporations like amazon or google are rich because they buy or destroy their competitors

Large corporations and big government are not the cause, they are the effect.
(Edit: Well, to a point. We have allowed them to manipulate our society)

Corporations and Government would not have the power they currently do if not for the characteristics of our society.

Society would not be what it is without the influence of communities.

Communities share the collective values of families

Families are created by people.

People are suffering from greed, pride, a severe rejection of personal accountability and a serious lack of self discipline.

If our society as a whole were to consciously reject economic pitfalls and predatory lenders - there wouldn't be any pay day loan, title loan or reverse mortgage companies.

If we rejected 18% interest rate credit cards? The card companies could not charge 18%.

If people refused to go to college because it was too expensive...the cost would go down!

The last 10 years have been good for most people. The whole of society was so busy "living their best life now" - they never stopped to consider how vulnerable and ignorant they have become. People today are addicted to convenience - they detest real responsibility.

Parents spend more time concerned with their own selfish desires and emotional instability. How many small children have been (and continue to be) raised with smart phones in front of their faces 3-5 hours a day?... Why? Because it keeps them mesmerized.
Teaching children proper behavior can seriously test someone's nerves. Give them a phone when they act up and the problem goes away!

When I was a kid, I used to believe adults knew everything. They had all the answers. In my young mind, adults were a representation of intelligent wisdom and authority.

As an adult, I recognize the collective society as a playground full of spastic children all looking to big daddy government to tell us how to act, what to think, where to go, who we can be friends with and who our children must become.


Wealth is attracted to people who know how to care for it - those who don't will never have it. Consider a lottery winner who goes broke in 5 years.

Take money from the wealthy and it will come back to them 10 fold, that's just the way it works.

We cannot use simplistic short-term solutions to solve fundamental societal problems. When someone seriously suggests redistribution of wealth or "death tax" as a solution for anything - it is a clear indication of just how dangerously naive and foolish they really are.

You grew up a little after you were a kid. I suggest you still need to grow up more. You are the biggest predictor of who your kids will be when they grow up. Do you even have any of those.

That's a reasonable assessment. If you're not growing, you're dying. I look forward to a lifetime of growth.

I completely agree with you about the influence of parents on who a child will become. This is why I feel change needs to occur from the bottom up, not top down.

I will never claim to be a perfect person. I struggle with pride, envy, laziness and procrastination just like everyone else. Just because I'm willing to say the quiet part out loud doesn't mean I am being self-righteous.

This nation as a whole has been shoveling it's lingering issues into a corner for a long time. Well... The cupboards are bare, the truck is broke, the kids need shoes and the mortgage is due.

Tell me Jim, what should we do?

Do we steal from those who - through sacrifice, knowledge and hard work - created success for themselves?

Or shall we swallow our pride to have an honest conversation about how we got here in the first place?

I haven't heard a single politician, statistician, media agency, government agency or public health official say that the best way forward must include an increase in personal accountability...have you?

Why hasn't anyone, anywhere - suggested that we start by asking wealthy people to help us identify the problems? I don't mean the 1% that everyone goes on about... I mean good honest people who know how to handle money.

Or here's a crazy idea...How about 2/3 of the states form a team to audit the federal reserve?

"Tax the rich" isn't about the 1%. They don't need to double the size of the IRS in order to do that. The government is going to systematically strip all assets from the hands of private citizens through the use of taxation and our own foolish, tribal and spiteful nature.

I do believe the oldest generations screwed the pooch on passing wisdom and knowledge down the line. I do not mean everyone to a person- but rather as collective generations.

That said, death tax is theft. It is just plain wrong to take the wealth someone spent their lifetime (or multiple lifetimes) building.


I am respectfully curious to know your thoughts on the matter Jim.

Some losers like you think that fighting is the way to solve every problem. It's no wonder that you can barely lift an 8' flourescent fixture without screwing up your back.

I never said that, I did mention removing all the 8 foot fixtures, I guess you got a little bit right.
You spineless coward.

True story easily as worrisome...

UK registered, Japanese-side-of-the-road Company BMW and I come back from a high speed recce of France, off the ferry at Dover well past midnight..

Trucks and other motorcars all processed. Fellow in MY both is digging about all over the booth.

I am not yet a UK citizen, am at C&W HQ on a US passport plus UK 2 year "Work Visa", still-yet.

Finally all else clears. All other booths go EMPTY. of minders. the fellow sez:

'Mr Hacker, I am afraid Her Majesty's government is unable to allow you to re-enter the UK!"

Shocked:

"May I ask what infraction I am being seen to have committed?"

"Oh, none, Sir.". "You do not appear to have set a foot wrong, Sir

"Well.. then ....WHY ... am I not to be permitted entry?"

"Because some lazy sod has nicked me BLOODY proper RUBBER STAMP, Sir!"

And off he went to do the same .. purloin the correct rubber stamp... out of one of the OTHER booths .. since they had gone empty!

English humour...?

Well as the Irish say when they hear someone say "Scotch Whisky".

"Some think it is!"

:D

FDA Revokes usage of monoclonal antibodies Why? They do not cause any harm and thousands with Covid swear they worked for them.
The reason they give is that they "Don't work well on Omicron"
Omicron? you mean the variant that pretty much gives you the common cold symptoms?
OK, but we were just told that the Omicron variant is resistant to the vaccines.
So why are they not revoking the usage of Pfizer & Moderna vaccines?
This is all about $$$ folks, and if the left were the party of Liberals like they were in the past, they would be leading the charge in outcry.
but they sadly are the party of Marxism these days.

Hell if they are!

Sad cocktail-party imitations of Marxists, mayhap.

I have actually known a hard-core "Marxist" or few..."back in the day".
Any Old-Skewl Marxist would DISOWN these wuckfits as too bleedin' INCOMPETENT to drag a white flag down a public road and stay out of the drainage ditches.

What they are is a Helluva lot closer to "Papa Doc" Duvalier's "Tonton Macoute" Haitian street thugs or Robert Mugabe's gangs.

But with neither brains nor C.O.Jones to their name.

you have false Marxists))
"in the Late Carboniferous, the world behind the scenes adopted the so-called cultural Marxism (which G. A.

the speech in the quote is about lgbt ++++ but I also think it is clear that "Marxism" what is in quotation marks has nothing to do with Marxism from the origins. I have already been accused of being Putin's agent and doing propaganda :D but I just want to say my point of view, from across the ocean

ROFLMAO!

"Humans"..... pesky critters..

All their systems of government are ultimately still the same damned Feudal systems wired-in as ..... "parents" implement over infants....

Manufacture of LABELS and HOOD BADGES.. for the Industrial Gullibility Industry.. is one massive money-spinner.

Of course.

I did say "humans"? I mean.. planarians ain't evolved enough to handle the required level of suicidal stupidity...

"Run what you GOT!"

:D
