Your party is the top of the spear giving the rich power to spend at will on politics with little disclosure. The new breed Supreme Court says corporations are people with rights. Then you gripe when you think a company is treating a segment of the population differently. Shame on you, that company has rights now. You can’t love a KOCH and hate a Soros. You like money influence or not. Get woke. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need to get woke. 😂 Surely the foundation of the US is everyman for themselves. Xi and Putin are lifetime politicians, just like the rest of lifetime politicians in the US who no way near the wealth they have if they started form any different career path. Trump at least damaged his wealth or donating his wage for being a president, regardless he wanted that position for fame or out of jealousy with lifetime politicians. When was the last time did US, or even the Western World has some politician like that? Avoiding taxes? Technically anyone choose the welfare net while they still can find a job is avoiding taxes, most of large non profit foundation are for avoiding taxes. A lifetime politician surely have a clean tax record, because they have family members to keep the wealth for them and avoiding taxes in the same way. I doubt any family member dare to cross them, even their children. Looks back to the history, people would find why Germain, one of the most discipline, hard working and logical people voted for Hitler? Because he targeted in their hate for the rich Jews bankers, that they are the victims of ww1 winner and that's when people risk their life and freedom for another war. We have many people who didn't work while think they deserve much more from the Western countries nowadays. The only cure for them is to leave the safety net, go to a 3rd world country to see if they have any value to feed themselves, then they will start appreciating how lucky they are just from being born in the Western countries. The poor people in Western world enjoy much better materialistic life style than the average working people in 3rd world and yet Where do you think these people got fed these entitlement/excuses in the first place? Family? Schools? Politicians? Media? Welfare system only work well in booming time, not in recession time (less income from taxes) or with an aging populations(much much more healthcare spending), and the Western World have both and that's why they need immigrants. While the UK, NZ, Australia, Canada got high skill/rich immigrants from HongKong, China, Korea, India etc. What do the US have aside 65k/85k green card for high skill workers every year and the attitude of entitlement from the basement dweller generation? Don't get me wrong, I do empathy for them for starting their youth in such a tough time compare to people who grew up and working in the 1980s until 2008 where economy was booming and less debt in the system especially 1990s just out of the Cold War. Do you think a person will smarter just because he/she was born in the US? Here is the ranking. https://factsmaps.com/pisa-2018-worldwide-ranking-average-score-of-mathematics-science-reading/ The exception is China, I think they took data in big cities only. And these didn't take into account growing critical thinking and knowledge in careers. Hate Trump is just a diversification from media because when you have Trump in your head, you pay attention to nothing else. Trump won't affect your life but these will. Assuming we woke, what should we do next? Vote for Dems and blame Trump in the future? How does that help? No, we learned way beyond things about Trump. You cannot keep Trump in your head and claim you woke. Is there any part I said above is not common sense or because of my experience make me learn more?

ronwagn + 6,290 October 4, 2021 That is the rational approach, especially as we can see worldwide failings of economies due to overreactions to COVID which have destroyed supply lines, industries, small businesses, jobs, and caused massive inflation. Socialism, fascism, statism all grow during times of crisis. That is why they create crises. The crises can be wars, shortages, diseases, or whatever brings people to their knees. That is how the government maintains control. They "never let a crisis go to waste." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boat + 1,325 RG October 7, 2021 (edited) So Australia has a similar population to Florida. Australia has lost around 1200 to COVID while Florida has lost over 50,000. These are the choices a guy like Ron would make. Then he would call wanting to stay alive, socialism, fascism and statism. There are many countries and peoples that don’t mind sacrificing population for the economy. I personally fight for the idea individual life supersedes business. The US lost several hundred thousand citizens by not closing the borders fast enough and by not tracing the infected along with mandatory masking and later mandatory vaccination. Our people still die one at a time but for some time they had a choice. Many still end up in the hospital and dead. This is Ron’s claim of control. His buddies still getting sick with no mask and no vaccination. To boot they want the medical system to treat and save them. Talk about no accountability.

Boat + 1,325 RG October 7, 2021 Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarianultranationalism[1][2] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy,[3] which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.[4] The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I, before spreading to other European countries.[4] Opposed to anarchism, democracy, liberalism, and Marxism, fascism is placed on the far right-wing within the traditional left–right spectrum. Trying to help wake ya. Trump Boy like a Putin or XI doesn’t have much use for an opposition. They will declare any opinion or negative news fake and fight the oppositions ability to present said material to the public. All in service to the nation of course. They alone have the direction of the country. If your not part of the team, you need not apply. Trump can justify the Coup of an entire nation and has no problem disenfranchising the majority of voters. Besides all that he has a terrible backswing and cheats at golf.

Please study "excess deaths" and the age of the people who died. Also study their prior condition before dying. 2. Study the origins of COVID from Wuhan and the Fauci statements that all contradict his prior statements! Confusion is a technique used in hypnosis. Biden is another person who has contradicted every statement he has ever made! Fauci supported the Wuhan lab and the gain of function! 3. Pay attention to how Fauci fought against any and all treatments that were not expensive and follow the money that went to the most expensive solutions and continue to do so. I am a retired RN, MA and have a lot of knowledge about medicine. Fauci is a clown. First he said don't wear masks, then he said wear masks, then he said wear two or three masks. Anyone who has faith in him has a real judgement problem. My topic: The Latest News and Info on COVID https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MXY8T0j7k0oUBsHW4BfjJM__DRIyzqrDf_FSlV4hHpw/edit 4. CRISES: Do you have any memory of the severe riots in America based on the death of a drug addict who was not compliant with his arrest ( I was very upset about the film and do not support what happened.) But that does not give any cause for rioting and burning down stores and looting them. Many millions of dollars were wasted for no good reason. Few of the perpetrators were arrested or punished. Portland, Seattle, and Minneapolis were severely damaged. Demoncrats supported defunding the police! The crisis was allowed to fester and grow because the crisis was enjoyed by the local and state leaders. They relished it until it effected them directly. It resulted in the Defund the Police movement. https://www.summitdaily.com/news/john-fanning-never-let-a-serious-crisis-go-to-waste/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defund_the_police#:~:text="Defund the police" is a,healthcare and other community resources. Compare the reaction of the Deep State to the so called attempted coup on January 6. It was a faux coup planned by the deep sate, and many people are still in jail unfairly. Many millions of dollars were wasted putting up many miles of fences to " protect the Capitol and D.C." It was a TOTAL wate of money and hundreds of army reservists were called up to support the nonsense. They were not properly housed or fed until Republicans stepped in to help them. https://nypost.com/2021/07/30/no-libs-the-jan-6-events-werent-a-coup/ My topic: Who Invaded Inside the Capitol https://docs.google.com/document/d/19qLxuaWqyPKPsE7xyT2ATV6-I9J_BhfvkChb3E-NL4o/edit If you think this is all babble it says a lot about you.
