frankfurter + 562 ff April 15, 2021 Re Biden's proclamation to withdraw troops from Afghanistan by September. The proclamation is a clear violation of the agreement reached with the Taliban in Doha upon 29 Feb 2020. To quote verbatim from the Doha Agreement: "The United States is committed to withdraw from Afghanistan all military forces of the United States, its allies, and Coalition partners, including all non-diplomatic civilian personnel, private security contractors, trainers, advisors, and supporting services personnel within fourteen (14) months following announcement of this agreement..."

Boat + 1,325 RG April 15, 2021 WASHINGTON, D.C. — Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm today joined the Secretaries of the Interior and Commerce at a White House roundtable meeting to announce a national goal to deploy 30 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind by 2030. This effort will support approximately 77,000 jobs in industry and surrounding communities, generate electricity to power over 10 million American homes, and cut 78 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. This should make the day for wind haters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he takes that on he will be called the first modern president with common sense. We’ll see. While I agree on the ineffectiveness of US occupation, even with good intention, which will give the opponent excuses to spread propaganda that US invaded their land and want their resources, I don't see the effectiveness of a hypersonic worth millions of dollars on a tent worth of 10 dollars or even a cave, and the guerrilla warfare is so decentralized that one of the leaders are dead, there should be someone else was prepared for that seat. Or they can blend in the city themselves as terrorists so the drones would be useless. You can win no war with missiles alone, with the exception of nuclear warheads. Tanks and aircrafts cost less as they are "reusable" and can hold strategic positions, if there is any in conventional warfare, the field that US has no match but who would fight a conventional warfare with the US after losing their capital? The problem is not in the weapon or warfare system but the occupation will make the biggest propaganda against the US. US can win no war where their opponent are poor and has nothing to lose. ---------------------------------------------- There are only 3 kinds people love to use "white supremacy" meme: 1 Politicians or people who want to gain careers from dividing people and use that as a weapon to frame anyone who disagrees with them. The evidence of they really don't believe in that is to see which suburb they are living, among their comrades or in rich area which most people are white. 2 "Ideology" people who need some affirmation to make they feel they are loftier or educated than others. An easy achievement without much effort, all they need is a mouth and they sacrifice little. Just similar to the most of the elite society in Europe, US, Hongkong, Singapore, Vietnam … with their charity organizations are all about their images, beside avoiding taxes, bribing etc. They don't want to be seen as greedy and empty. They all can silently do that but then... what's the point for them? 3 People with good heart and truly believe in inequality from their idol leader in 1, mostly young and inexperienced (as these people could be a magnet of people who want to use them). Surprisingly I met lots of these people in Church community. However all 3 of the above, I found rarely people want to move to the neighborhood where most of people with color unless they have to for cheaper house price. People who live and work in a few Western countries will see US has the least of white supremacy and even the invert of that term and that is precisely why mainstream propaganda is so successful in Western countries as they depend on mainstream to view the world. You cannot understand a country and its culture with traveling alone as a tourist but to live, work and pay tax there and it is very easy to take what your country have for granted if you never live in other countries, grass is greener on the other side.

Now Bob, no use displaying an extremest view. Trump did run the Federal Government. Unions I don’t know. Intuitively I would guess there are red states or red areas that have factories that are unions. I might look that up. Interesting. But most workers are not in unions. You could call the workforce red. Lol Some newspapers are owned by liberals, some conservative. There are plenty of billionaires in the Republican Party. I you create demand and provide a profit many items on your list can be created. Just get organized. Your party has typically almost 1/2 the votes across the nation. That’s a lot of buying power. If your news or social media feels outmatched it’s the lack of interest by your own party. Crank up your own Facebook or Google. The actual hard core Democrat base is 30-35%. Quit whining and create better policies and ideas that appeal to 51% and you won’t have to whine. Edited May 1, 2021 by Boat 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big manufacturing, USPS, oil... have unions which are liberal and fund Dem party for elections, this is common knowledge from mainstream, the only Union that supported Trump last election is Police unions in few states after George Floyd event. Only in Amazon and Tesla are criticized for anti union, up to the point New York politicians make Amazon abandoned the plan to open headquarter in New York, which costs at least thousands of high paying jobs. Mid and small business tend not to have Union, especially in red states. Public sectors are not source of grows and 20% of SP500 are zombie businesses leak on cheap borrowing cost and often bailed out by government and Fed. Since 2008, we have never stopped QE even before Covid19. While the main source of growth, of labors, of taxes of any country is small and medium size businesses. A increase in high income tax or minimum wage will affect these owners. It may affect top layers of high paying staffs in Amazon but won't affect Jeff. And that's why most billionaires in the US are in liberal size except a few. There are many tools for the rich to avoid taxes. Many politicians in both Dem and Rep are very rich, so it is ridiculous to think these will like to increase tax on themselves without knowing how to avoid it. Most the rich who cannot avoid tax are small mid businesses owners or high pay employees, who are the backbone of tax sources and growth. Increase in tax and reduce growth, that is simply. A country in trade deficit like US can afford public sectors to expand because of USD, the question is with the current speed of QE and spending, the question is for how long. Would USD bonds be saturated worldwide (USD being less used abroad and all come back to the US) is the main arguments of inflation or deflation. These are common knowledge, you can ask union organizers and finance bonds people. The problem of the system we have now existing since Bretton Woods instead of Bancor, which leaded to USD stopped based on gold and lead to the need of exporting USD via trade deficit. Currently Central Banks World Wide are heading toward digital currency and Bancor system, pushed by IMF and WEF to reduce the use of USD.

Read this 10 ACCOUNTING TRICKS THE 1% USE TO DODGE THE TAXMAN and see yourself does Biden tax increasing has any effect on politicians, celebrities or corporations aka the top 1%. Something simply accounting tricks and not polarized by political "experts". This is why the top 1% won't have any problems and the mainstream owners are supporting Biden: https://www.accounting-degree.org/accounting-tricks/ If your sources are from mainstream, then you can be assured that we are both informed, as mainstream in any country is written to target the majority of the publics, they cannot be that difficult for normal people to understand or too technical details and their views will be decreased. They depend on your blind spots to fool you. I doubt most of the writer for hired even understand what is missing and they just repeat some experts with an agenda. Both sides have the people who believe in the "reputation" of their sources of information stream rather than truly understand it and it is delusional to think they know more because they read CNN, CNBC, NYT or Foxes and assume the opposite don't read or don't understand these. Up to a point feeling offended when someone telling their sources half true and believe other are ill informed. Dividing people benefit mainstream revenue. We cannot do research if you cannot see the inconsistency or conflicts, and I doubt we can google to learn something new if we don't even know the technical terminologies for keywords search or understanding the technical articles. That's why it is normal to be leaded by mainstream, kind of "political for dummy" sources to inject fear or hate. Pupil in year 1 will not know the distance between them and year2 , but the one in year 2 will know the distance them and year 1 but will not know the distance between them and year 3. Stay humble and learn for your own knowledge growth rather than assuming you are more informed than any stranger you meet. Use your argument instead. .

frankfurter + 562 ff May 3, 2021 https://www.accounting-degree.org/accounting-tricks/ Actually, the tricks have near zero to do with accounting. The accounting treatment follows the action taken. The methods described do not dodge, ie evade, taxes per se (save for one), as they will defer taxes. True, if a deferral is permanent, it is effectively an avoidance. The only avoidance scheme is the use of off-shore corps, if the taxed person can structure this to avoid being taxed at home base on world-wide income. Taxes are a sinister means to transfer wealth. The US is a plutocracy, and thus the taxation game is to ensure the masses are taxed, but the plutocrats are not. No plutocrat anywhere will accept laws that truly tax all people fairly. Thus we see the plutocrats enticing the poor to join the military as a tool to invade other countries to steal the wealth for and on behalf of the plutocrats. We do not see the US targeting the tax haven countries for the cash wealth kept there. gee, I wonder why? If citizens want fair taxation, then the favourable tools must be eliminated. Those tools are primarily the legal concept that a non-person can be a person in law. Thus, corporations are considered legal persons. Take away the corporation, trust, and other non-persons. and the result will be all wealth and income goes to individuals and thus can be taxed fairly, ie not dodged. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
