My post that you originally responded to was literally an explanation of the PROBLEM with our debt. At no point did I ever come close to agreeing to it. I was explicitly identifying why it is a bad thing. You even missed that simple fact.


Stop telling people how the economy works; you’re adding more confusion than you’re fixing
It’s very troubling that a 30 year economist for the state doesn’t realize that the Fed has nothing to do with the national debt. That is 100% a function of the treasury department.
What the frick kind of rambling nonsense is this?


My response isn’t going to satisfy your anger, because making someone this misguided understand their error would take way too long to be worth my time. But here’s the highlights version for the third party observers…

The US does print our own money; printing too much of it is what causes inflation. The Fed is not the one who prints money or issues new bonds, that would be the treasury department. We absolutely don’t need to borrow money, greedy politicians have found that promising away borrowed money is the best way to get reelected. That has trapped us in the exact collapse cycle I described above. And no portion of that collapse cycle requires Jews to be able to understand
Perfect example of…

Biggest short term concern is that is raises interest rates, which crowds out domestic investment, slowing economic growth.

Biggest long term concern is that higher interest rates attracts a massive flood of foreign capital, which substantially appreciates the value of the dollar. This pushes us further into the spiral of being an importing consumer economy at the expense of being a less competitive producer economy. As we become worse producers, we struggle to raise the taxes we need to pay off our debt, which pushes us further in debt. And the cycle mutually reinforces. More debt, dollar appreciates, domestic production crumbles, more debt. And on and on the cycle grows. Each step along the way crowding out more investment, racking up more interest payments, and further slowing economic growth.






For all the shitty reporting the media has done over the last several decades, I contend that their treatment of economic debt is among the most irresponsible reporting they’ve ever done. It’s downright shameful how poorly our population understands the perils of the financial path we are on.
A team that splits its home games 50/50 between San Antonio and Mexico City would make more sense.
There is a difference between the micro and the macro


At the micro level, every individual is allowed to do what they want with their property. But at the macro level, you’re downright delusional if you think the “private equitification” of sports won’t suck for the average sports fan
You think Private Equity is going to be kinder to the club?

A quick glance at some social media, and a lot of women are coming out in support of this wicked woman who murdered her 3 little babies.
Those “women” are called bots. They’re intentionally placed on social media to make you angry, divided and/or depressed. If you’re social media is feeding you this rage bait content, stop using that social media. It’s bad for your health.
Does anyone know where the audio clip came from?



While I have 0 doubt of it reflecting his true beliefs, the cadence on the audio felt very AI-ish. Just curious where the clip came from.

Thanks!
This is the very definition of click bait


They intentionally frick up the list so that movie fans will rage share it all over with a “look how stupid they are” message. Meanwhile, every rage click they generate just piles in more money.

They’re playing you
Man, you sock puppets are having to work real hard on this one

history is not based on heresay.
The vast majority of the time, it quite literally is :lol:


Almost all of recorded history comes to us from second hand recorders, not direct participants. How little Herodotus actually observed himself might blow your mind :lol:


Point being, compared to virtually any other historical record, one of Hitler’s direct subordinates recounting a conversation with him is extremely strong evidence. That’s not something you can just wave away as irrelevant. And to be honest, it’s kind of weird that you’re working this hard to try.
Assuming the league has a flex spot, that’s not a problem; Breece or CMC will both start
I always like this one…



The difference in size between our entire body and the smallest identifiable subunit of our body (a quark) is just about the same scale as the difference in size between our entire body and 300 light years (thousands of neighboring solar systems).

So if you think about your existence from the perspective of the smallest subunit in your body, you are about the same size as a few thousand solar systems put together.

Yep. It’s crazy how attacking a country causes a massive spike in nationalism. Who ever could have guessed that?
No… the whole reason we built all these bombs in the first place was to win these wars.
You know that these numbers were copied and pasted from legally required open source reporting from the US military, right?
Summary of our conversation…


You: All the MSM does is lie, don’t trust these numbers
Me: The US military produced these numbers, not the MSM
You: The US military doesn’t want the enemy to know our munitions numbers, so they’re not going to publish the truth
Me: If we were going to lie about our munitions numbers, we would overstate them, not understate them
You: We shouldn’t be talking to the enemy anyway


For summary:
In 3 successive posts, you made exactly 3 completely different arguments. As soon as one stupid statement got disproven, you shifted the goalpost to a new stupid statement.
How does it benefit the US in negotiations to spread disinformation that makes the enemy think we are weaker than we actually are? :dope:


What the IC published is almost certainly the upper limit of what we have available. They wouldn’t undercount the true number. Telling a lie about the number being lower than reality would be certifiably retarded.
