There are plenty of crops that aren't grown here for economic reasons. Why are raisins special?

You say that and then spend the next two paragraphs explaining why the movement doesn't have the votes to wield power.
I don't know that it's "unpopular", but it's definitely small. Those low propensity voters that really only just vote for Trump's personality are a mirage.

I've sometimes questioned the use of psy-ops by the military, because I just don't understand how whisper campaigns and dropping pamphlets from C-130s was really doing to impact what people believe. I've watched this shite unfold in a 1st world country and I no longer question anything about it.

I haven't been able to confirm that it is.
1. I doubt it is, they probably checked first.
2. I almost don't care. They shoved that crap down our throats, sometimes people shove back.

Most of this forum hates GWB with a white-hot passion, mainly for telling us Iraq was about WMDs when it was really about something else. This isn't just straight from that playbook, it's the exact same play. And they're guzzling it down like Bluto in Animal House.

For point of reference, this is how people were living in the Great Depression.
All you had to do was live with someone who went through it. My FIL had three pensions from 3 different careers and has been quite comfortable ever since I've known him. He'll still put a quarter of a bologna sandwich in a ziplock bag in the fridge. My grandmother used some makeup tool to put on lipstick once the tube got used up because there was another fraction of an inch she could dig out at the bottom. She used a little mesh bag for soap scraps when they got too small to be useful.
Yeah, I see that a lot in these dark times. :lol:

No matter how many times you/others post this, it ain't going to become real.
People have posted numbers multiple times; it doesn't matter to them. Housing costs as a share of income are about what they were when I graduated in the late 80s. No, it's not great right now, but it's nothing people haven't seen before and it damn sure isn't comparable to the Great Depression. :lol:

If you think pricing elderly people out of their homes is only “unfortunate” rather than unjust, explain the principle that makes that distinction.
Because just about every definition of "justice" includes the concept of treating people equally. You haven't been treated unequally because your rent went up.

I don't think we can justify what we are doing if this is the reason.
The administration clearly doesn't think so, which is why they're pushing the narco-terrorist angle. From a global strategy perspective I can't automatically dismiss being involved in Venezuela as pointless MIC meddling.
I'm not claiming any inside information here, I'm just connecting the very visible dots. We have been concerned about China's increasing activity in South America for years (before I retired that was part of EVERY intel brief we got in the last 5 years), China wants another source besides Russia for oil/gas, Venezuela has the largest known oil reserves in the world. The math doesn't look hard to me.

I pointed that out in the other thread because you seemed hesitant to admit that it is not fair for an elderly person on a fixed income to be priced out of housing in the wealthiest country the planet has ever known.
There's nothing to admit. Calling it "unfair" doesn't mean anything and calling it an "injustice" is inaccurate. Nothing is fair so I don't know why you'd even point that out.

There is a difference between recognizing an injustice and pretending it is not one. He refuses to name it. I named it.
But not everybody considers it an injustice. You named it inaccurately then claimed that people who disagree with your description aren't acknowledging the issue at all. I can (and have) agree that it's unfortunate and still not consider it an injustice.
