Arsonist are paid, if you follow the money came from our own tax dollars. Gov't indirectly acts as a state sponsored terrorist that sets itself on fire. One set of goons on the public payroll is arresting another set goons funded informally from tax dollars. DOGE is exposing all of this gov't malfeasance.
Interesting how people interpret things. I think it's the complete opposite. That's why this country is where it is.
And package it up as a return to .......... Capitalism. Bawahahaha Damn right, those with the power get the capital. Sleepy Joe and son got crumbs, or whatever is lower on the pecking order than crumbs.
We both agree that this is bad... but it doesn't excuse giving out a shit ton of money to people who entered the country illegally. I agree as well. But once again, there is a difference between immigrants before, and many who now expect free handouts. The reason why its been good for America is because that inflation was exported. The access to cheap labour has meant that the US gets cheap goods, and the other countries get the inflation. Now that we are moving away from USD being the world reserve currency, its going to be a huge problem for the US. The 2% inflation is still theft. Its not a good thing. All it did was build up the wealth inequality and inflate the bubble. Its like high blood pressure. It doesn't kill you in the first few years, but eventually you either get a ruptured artery or failed organs. I agree that this corruption is a major problem, but I'm telling you, when we switch to a currency the government doesn't control, many of these problems take care of themselves. The reason why all this corruption can run rampant is because you support the inflation narrative. You want government to be able to print money, and then they just give it to their friends. So they get the asset appreciation, and everyone else gets screwed. If we switch to a currency the government can't control, corruption is reduced 95%. As for Trump coin, of course I didn't buy any. If you are curious, I can explain to you how different Bitcoin is from all other crypto coins.
Child labor is a result of deporting hardworking immigrants. Most immigrants work hard. They are getting deported and now 12 year old White kids get to pick fruits instead of getting an education. 2% inflation isn't theft. If no one buys today, no one hires today. Deflation is the worst thing that can happen. The Great Depression was the result of deflation. The GFC was the result of deflation. Corruption can be resolved with a strong government and strong court system. Dismantling that was part of Trump's agenda which I believe you support (since Kamala represented the opposite).
Trump Says He’s Reached $100 Million Pro Bono Deal With Skadden ByStephanie Lai (Bloomberg) --PresidentDonald Trumpannounced that he had reached a deal with the law firmSkadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flomto provide at least $100 million in pro bono legal work for priorities of his administration, the latest instance of a white-shoe firm offering services to avoid possible sanction by the federal government. The law firm will also fund a fellowship program, commit to merit based hiring and agree not to deny representation based on political beliefs, Trump said. “This was essentially a settlement,” Trump said at an event in the Oval Office on Friday. “We appreciate Skadden’s coming to the table.” The White House has signed executive orders restricting some law firms’ ability to do work with the federal government and revoking security clearances, targeting in particular lawyers involved in efforts to prosecute Trump before his return to office. The announcement comes a week after one law firm, Paul Weiss, cut a similar deal with Trump after the president moved to bar the firm’s lawyers from government buildings.
I guess this is where we will have to disagree. If positive inflation as you say is a good thing, and if they actually taught this in school, they would teach everybody to not hold on to dollars. And if you don't hold on to dollars, what is the value of a dollar? Rich people of course have so many ways to protect themselves from currency to basement, but poor people generally don't. So of course inflation isn't a problem for rich people. By supporting inflation, you are actually choosing the side of rich people versus poor people. When do banks after all pass through the high interest rates to most people? They never do. They just keep it for themselves. And on the immigration front, I am in the middle of watching this interview which touches on all of these points precisely.
Skadden's revenue is about 3.3 billion and they say they commit to 3 to 5% to pro bono. They're doing what they always did.
