Anecdotally, as an unjabbed man, I did knock up a jabbed woman a year ago.

I tend to believe the jabs hurt the men more than the women. I know everyone jumps to the depopulation conclusions as it fits the narrative and has a boogie man involved too, however, I also think there were competing priorities to the mass jab program. For one thing, the jabs might have created a great financial boost to the IVF industry, which is population control by other means. Especially if it only further neutered the men rather than the women.

It just seems illogical to target sterilization of the women, especially because you might need them (e.g. these tech CEOs who are impregnating tons and tons of women).

Also, I suspected Russia might have been the ones who caused the helicopter crash that killed the Iranian President a few years ago, as he was a likely successor. The fact that the Russians been negotiating the Ukraine War end with Trump's people in Saudi Arabia might also suggest this would be Russia's preferred outcome as well. I don't think the Russians want the IRGC to fill the power vacuum anymore than America does.

Seems to be hinting at this.

World leaders didn’t used to be publicly into silly shite. If they do from now on, Trump started it. That just is what it is.

World leaders used to privately be into diddling kids and worshipping an owl at Bohemian Grove while publicly pretending to be serious people. Look where that got us.

Just from a raw business perspective, it doesn't benefit the WNBA to openly admit to there being trannies in the league, however it would benefit them to secretly have them to produce a better on-court product.

Not to smart, but isn't already broke? Democrats are worried what Trump will do as President I am worried about the corruptin inside our government combined with the snowbowl impact of national debt... it's just a matter of "when things collaspe"

It's collapsing in motion, its death by 1000 cuts.

What was more effective under Trump was the rhetoric. It dissuaded people from even making the attempt to begin with and once Biden got in, the messaging across the world to come to America changed, so people actually tried. It's as simple as that.

If people think they cant get in with someone tough on border security, they wont even make the attempt to begin with. The wall is more of a physical representation of that rhetoric.

That these cities became wastelands isn't really on the citizenry IMO. This was planned across the board for all major US cities.

Search any of the above "high crime rate" cities before WW2 and you'll be both shocked and saddened by the BEFORE / AFTER post WW2 cities became within 15-20 years. Operation: City Negligence aka, "Urban Renewal" plans were really about.

ALL these cities pre-WW2 were beautiful. Maybe not have been totally safe, but that always been "life in the city". And certainly not (purposely, by design) made a mess, neglected, and its classic olde world architecture knocked down, razed &demolished for no good reason.

Olde Nawlins, Little Rock, many southern towns/cities that were gorgeous in the 1800s -- up to pre-WW2.

This is a result of federal policies, mainly the interstate system, but obviously also the hollowing out of the industrial base which came later. Not to say that was entirely bad, there were a lot of positives for the Western half of the country, but basically that disrupted the natural route of how goods transported throughout the country (which was via the rivers). It also increased the importance of other cities at the expense of previously wealthy ones.

So for example, Buffalo, NY once was the wealthiest city in America at the turn of the century. Not only is it still the best planned American city, it also has fantastic architecture. It's the only city in the country to have had one of America's 4 most prominent architects (Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan, Daniel Burnham and Frederick Olmstead) design either a park or building. Yet Buffalo got completely disrupted by the highway system because of its geographic prominence connecting NYC (via the Erie Canal) to Detroit & Chicago. Not to mention how the highways cut through this idealistically planned American city. St. Louis is another example of this.

Effectively, there was a massive wealth transfer to places like Phoenix, Vegas, Bay Area, LA, etc. all of which benefitted because of the interstate system, plus air conditioning for the Sunbelt areas. If you look at average home value data by city in the 1920s, the wealthiest cities which have since lost the most prominence in relative values ever since, the ones which standout are Buffalo, New Orleans, St. Louis, Detroit, Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven, Newark, Richmond, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Youngstown. Not to mention, there were other cities like Baltimore, Cincinnati, Louisville, etc. who were on their way to being a lot wealthier too and had experienced a ton of growth up until the war / interstate system.

What about the government and the Fed? They are worse than Enron and get away with it everyday.

Yep, 100%. The only really well done documentaries I've found that at least try to dig at the system as it is are Adam Curtis, even if he is kind of a leftist, I think he's actually far closer to a conservative than he would admit.

At least with Curtis, you begin to see that for the Federal Reserve to have maintained the dollar system this long, its required the CIA to operate the world's largest drug cartel, or that they're engaged in creating the very terrorism which we then have to go fight abroad. Or that they are involved in massive human trafficking, or that they've been deliberately supporting regimes abroad deploying death squads to kill innocent people, all to secure natural resources our system relies on. Or that our govt has they've been robbing average hard working Americans through complete BS propaganda for over a century & we all just accept it because we have no ability to imagine an alternative version of events.

Documentaries like Smartest Guys in the Room are perfect for low IQ libs who are unable of seeing the forest for the trees when it comes to our economic reality because its taking a tiny sliver of the world & pretending its this horrific thing (because its conveniently framed under this "look at those Republicans over there at Enron, they're the real problem" bs), when literally the bigger picture problem is 1000x worse, to the point where a lot of people would probably have to be admitted to an insane asylum if they knew the truth of what was going on underneath the surface to prop up this horror show.

There is a strange psychological phenomenon with people where they seem to be easily able to emotionally connect on a single issue like Enron or whatever, but somehow there becomes a disconnect at trying to understand the bigger picture, that gets written off as "conspiracy theory". If Enron does anything, it actually proves conspiracy is the way the world they live in works. How foolish do people have to be where powerful people don't conspire daily to grow or at least maintain their existing power.
