The FBI and NSA are in such dysfunction right now, the Taliban could start a forum and openly plan their next attack.

The president appointed his stooge in charge of D.O.J. this term and his first term. Bill Barr, the first term, whom has links to Epstein, himself. The investigation was ongoing until a couple months ago, obviously you don't release all your evidence before you're ready for all the trials.

Superfascists aren't so mighty after all......

It's a movie, as in to make money. If the claims seemed strong they would be all over every network with the bare claims, not just Faux news selling their movie.

"https://www.miamiherald.com 2 days ago — Donald Trump is mentioned in Jeffrey Epstein's emails over 1,000 times — the most cited person in the tranche released this week by the House" The count is up to 1,500 now. How's the song go, "I'm proud to be an American...". Essentially, everyone that is flying an American flag tomorrow supports child molesters over helping the poor.

House sizes have increased significantly, how many people per house has DECREASED, how many cars people own has increased significantly('2 cars person'). How many people are on health insurance has increased significantly, how many people do outpatient visits has increased dramatically, Wages have surpassed consumer staples, not by much, but it hasn't gotten worse, prices have gone down compared to wages but consumption has increased, poverty has decreased. There is a problem with housing, but it's lifestyle changes, houses are gigantic now with only 2 people living in them, in the past 3-generation homes were normal, 3 generations and a third the size, houses with no a/c, barely any insulation, full of lead and formaldehyde; making things safer and more efficient also increases cost. I also believe it's clear home prices are a bubble, not permanent, just from huge market disruptions like trumps tarrifs on building materials his first term and then covid, Trump also did fsa loan changes his first term helping more people enter the homeowner market.

The premise is that something has gotten worse in a few decades. Re-sell the house! Subprime just means the client is high risk, it means nothing in loan terms. Lending to risky people HELPS THEM, you'd rather they not be leant to. No one held a gun to their head, no one made them choose the more expensive house. And they could have re-sold the house. The mortgage rates were well within legal limits, within their income, obviously. Regardless still, that was a minority of the populace, and the practice has been regulated away, now your friends can't get the mortgage.

That's also not what happened. Get a grip and lay off the drugs, your brain is cooked. You would rather they been relegated to renting, so they're out nothing then, some benefited even, if they kept paying or sold the house if it got too much. Since trump went bankrupt 7 times you think the system screwed him too. Is there any personal mistake a person can make that isn't the systems fault? 🤣

The people that were given the loans were harmed? Elaborate. Even if it was risky, it was obviously the consumers choice, AND houses were not expensive then if you're basing anything on high prices you're absolutely wrong. You would rather they been relegated to renting? And cutout the ad hominem, you already look dumb enough. The first one is wages. Quit wasting people's time with your lies.

You think Xi is oblivious to this?

You see no conflict here with China, in your words wanting Europe to have that same ideology? Europe wanting to takeover the world, right? China wants Europe to have this ideology?

That's definitely a "common sense" analysis, let's use something a little more than common sense now. So, you claim China wants to take over the world or something like that, I think you said that, and you think they want other countries to have the same ideology that leads them to also want to take over the world, or whatever expansionism you see with China?

So Goldman Sachs/the systen, harmed people, by giving people loans for homes they otherwise wouldn't have been able to get? Those are lopsided mischaracterizations.

Oil Market. The West does not trust the other middle eastern nations, let alone Russia and China influencing them. Israel is essentially their military base. The root is middle eastern oil and Suez canal. Most proponents are just victims of propaganda. We're in a global economy, every market is intertwined. Why does U.K. own Gibraltar, why do they have territory on Cyprus.

Name 1 living standard that has gone down over 20 years or more("decades") You can't name one. That's your example of harm to the populace, you think this is a good example? You don't have a specific industry or company?

The e-mails suggest trump may have gave someone a blowjob You couldn't make a serious movie with this stuff.

I agree, but, the consumers also benefit from this, it is not a zero sum game. You're still assuming my position is libertetian, Austrian economics, I said it isn't. I do not mean "vote with your wallet". I mean people, everyone, DO vote with their wallet. I believe in regulation, not austrian economics. I think you pointing to specific examples and companies would help me show my viewpoint. Where are there no choices, where are companies violating the populace at large?

I don't ignore it, I acknowledge it, but you place too much strength behind it. Yes corporations brainwash people to a degree, but they are not literal zombies. Where is there no choice, point to something specific? I agree about financialization, I only disagree with the extent of the power you think it holds. Look at the tobacco industry's decay. They can, they only don't because they indeed do serve the people. Point to a specific example where a corporation is not serving the people. Look at the green movement, the oil lobby is arguably the strongest.

Vietnam War was started by France, America came later. My question was

Ya. Are you familiar with the Vietnam and Korean wars, the "sophisticated" west got their asses kicked by peasants. Do you consider China to be left or right? BRICS, left or right? Again, contradictory. You say Europe is Right and militarized, yet China wants Europe to move further Right? So they're less militarized? Because of Europe's rightward shift.

By leftist I mean relative, obviously. You think europe has a military-industrial-complex threatening China?

This seems to be full of contradictions. Are you suggesting leftists are threatening Chinese expansion with a leftist military-industrial-complex and want stricter trade policy? What countries are far-right examples to you?

Electrolyte powders list their minerals and usually have the essentials. "Several electrolyte powders are third-party tested for contaminants, including Transparent Labs Hydrate, Nuun Sport, and LMNT." R.O. seems to be the most practical way to filter your water well.

Let's look at the evidence rather than the propaganda. Your premise is quality over quantity, a divine Telos. Yet, ancient civilizations functioned purely "quantitatively", bloody, power and resource-hungry murderers. Anarchist societies, still existing to this day live peacefully, while none of your so-called "divine" Traditional hierarchies survive. One not indoctrinated by manipulative rulers would call Anarchist societies 'love', and "Traditional" societies cowardly, hateful, and evil, with the introduction of Fascism being the original sin. The divinity of your supposed Telos, would only be if Satan is your God. "The oldest writing ever found is the Kish Tablet, a limestone artifact dating to approximately 3500 BCE that was discovered in Iraq. It is a form of proto-cuneiform writing, a system that predates the more developed cuneiform script that emerged in Mesopotamia around 3200 BCE. The tablet features symbols that have been deciphered as a record of trade and accounts. " "Mesopotamia was not destroyed but its ancient civilization gradually declined due to a combination of factors, including conquest, over-irrigation, climate change, and the rise of new empires. The region, now largely modern Iraq, was conquered by successive empires like the Persians, Greeks, Romans," "Major Upheavals of Ancient India 1. Decline of the Indus Valley Civilization (c. 1900–1300 BCE) The highly advanced urban Indus Valley Civilization, with planned cities like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, experienced a major decline and de-urbanization around 1900 BCE. Cause: This upheaval was likely triggered by significant climatic changes, specifically a decrease in the intensity of summer monsoons, leading to droughts and agricultural difficulties. Impact: The population migrated eastward to the foothills of the Himalayas, and the complex urban system collapsed, giving way to a less structured society. 2. The Vedic Age Transformations (c. 1500–500 BCE) The period following the Indus Valley decline, known as the Vedic Age, was a time of significant social and philosophical change. Events: The arrival and migration of Indo-Aryan people into the subcontinent coincided with this era (though the exact nature of their arrival, whether by invasion or migration, is debated). The social structure transitioned from an urban civilization to independent tribal kingdoms. Impact: This era saw the composition of the Vedas and the gradual development of early Hinduism and the social hierarchy that would later become the rigid caste system, fundamentally altering Indian society. 3. The Rise of New Religions and Empires (c. 6th–4th Centuries BCE) The end of the Vedic Age was marked by a general societal upheaval that challenged existing Brahmanical social systems. Events: The 6th century BCE saw the birth of Gautama Buddha and Vardhamana Mahavira, leading to the rise of Buddhism and Jainism, which rejected certain aspects of the Vedas and the caste system. Impact: This "philosophical revolution" fostered new urban growth and eventually paved the way for the rise of larger, more unified empires, beginning with the Mauryan Empire. 4. Foreign Invasions and Dynastic Shifts (c. 5th Century BCE onwards) Ancient India's northwestern region was repeatedly subject to external invasions, leading to significant political and cultural exchange. Persian and Greek Invasions: The Achaemenid Empire of Persia, under Cyrus and Darius I, conquered parts of northwest India around 550 BCE. Later, Alexander the Great's invasion in 326 BCE, while brief, broke the existing power structures and facilitated direct contact with the Hellenic world, influencing art and administration. Central Asian Migrations: The decline of the Mauryan (c. 185 BCE) and Gupta (c. 550 CE) empires led to periods of fragmentation and invasions by groups like the Kushans and Huns, who established their own kingdoms and integrated into the Indian cultural landscape. 5. The Arrival of Islam (8th Century CE onwards) The Muslim conquests, beginning in the 8th century CE, marked a major turning point, ending the era of indigenous empires and leading to the rise of various Islamic Sultanates and later the Mughal Empire. This introduced new religions and worldviews, leading to the diverse, complex cultural fabric of the subcontinent today. " "Ancient Egypt's upheavals included periods of political collapse, civil war, and foreign invasion, often triggered by environmental crises like severe droughts and reduced Nile floods. Key upheavals were the First Intermediate Period following the Old Kingdom's collapse, the Hyksos rule during the Second Intermediate Period, and numerous revolts against foreign rulers, like the Persians and Ptolemies, which often coincided with climate-related famines.
