He's going to say its going to become an oligarchy or a dicatorship.  But any party tries to get the majority.  But he'll say with this it's different because Trump has a God complex.  So now it's like he thinks he's ordained by God and that the people need to be obedient because he is the hand of God.......and they are then going to use their power for evil.

A very dark painting.....

You just more or less exactly described what Hitler did back then. If he could do it, why shouldn't it happen again?

Hitler was just a human after all.

A hiring freeze is nothing new.  Now if they fire someone who voted for Biden then yes I'd be concerned.  But that hasn't been shown yet.   I think that's another democratic smear campaign.  So yeah I'll bet you five dollars. 

 

I am almost certain that signing an executive order hiring freeze is not normal.

When will the next financial reset happen?

It looks like the economy is a pyramid scheme we’re the cost of everything keeps going up indefinitely.

I guess the last economic reset was World War II?

[integral]

So the cost of everything keeps going up until it crashes?

Inflation is at an all time high so let's see if it comes down along with the economy getting better overall.

Even a quick google check would show this to be incorrect.

To get Pragmatic where do you think we should put our money?

if cash will have inflation, markets crash and crypto has no underlying value(IHMO)? maybe time for gold? Also I wonder if normal banks and brokerage accounts will keep being reliable or will start scamming their clients(if all Leo is saying happens, this is a possibility I guess?)

My mistake i forgot it had come back down - probably because it hurts everytime i buy eggs now... i guess I need to make more money to keep up with the current rate though because I'm sure feeling it in the pocketbook....as I'm sure you are.  Incomes have to keep pace with inflation.. And the rate has been pretty high last few years as your graph shows.

@Leo Gura In the Tucker Carlson interview with Sergey Lavrov, Lavrov claimed that the current Government in Ukraine was not legitimate because the 2014 Maidan Revolution was an artificial CIA coup d’état. Do you think this claim holds any legitimacy? 
 

He also claimed that the Ukrainian Government was “exterminating” the culture of Russians in Ukraine by stripping them of language and culture rights. Is this true?

This is actually the justification that Lavrov provided for the legality of invading Ukraine. Because the UN charter states that a country’s territorial integrity is only to be respected if the Government is legitimate and respects the sovereignty of all peoples. And because (according to Lavrov) the Ukraine Government was established illegitimately through a CIA coup and does not respect the rights of Russians, who had their culture “exterminated” (Lavrov’s words), the Russian invasion of Ukraine is legal and just, according to international law.

Don't group alt coins in with bitcoin. Two different things

Lavrov is Putin's lapdog, trained to bark where Putin wants him to bark.

He is false.

This is BS.

1) Russia is the one trying to set up a lapdog government in Ukraine. They had agreement not to violate Ukraine's international borders.

2) Ukraine is a sovereign nation. They can change their langauge however they want. It is not Lavrov's place to tell Ukraine what culture or language Ukraine should have.

Can you imagine invading another nation because you disagree with their language policy? That is insane.

This is Russian gaslighting.

@Leo Gura

Let's forget everything and zoom out for a moment. 

We agree that Ukraine sovereignty is important, given that Ukrainians exist in the first place.

The path we are treading right now is leading to a irreversible demographic collapse.

Do you feel any moral responsibility to take actions to save Ukraine? 

What's the end game here?

[Leo Gura]

@Bobby_2021 I am not engaging with you any more on Ukraine or Russia or US foreign policy because your mind is skewed and closed.
