  1. Is that supposed to be your rational way of admitting we're in deep sh*t? Because those eras, the 1930s, 70s, the big Lehman Brothers crash of 2008, were some of the worse eras we've had. Saying we've been through worse isn't good, it's really concerning to think we're going through another losing pattern for maybe the next decade. Because a crisis doesn't hit right away, you're older than I am, you know that for a fact that when a crisis happens, it is 2 or 3 years later that everyone feels it. The poor and the middle class being the most hit.
  2. In the past 100 years, there had been catastrophes and such bad events. And pretending we have no bigger problem but that a Ted was not called Sarah as she would like to be named while putting all other problems such as class warfare under the rug will create social issues we're not prepared for.
  3. In its current proportions, income inequality is the widest we have seen in the West, it is way worse than before the pandemic. Plus, the rich gets to travel and being above restrictions compared to the poor, and may avoid rules imposed to everyone. Inequality is also increasing with inflated prices for housing and inflation in general. How come have you completely ignored the effects of the pandemic in your previous answer^ By the way, yes, public discourse shifted from class war before; Nazis came to prominence because of the Class war that was, ultimately, ignored by German higher society to the point where literal Commies and Nazis were fighting to death in the streets for a decade because the Democrats, Liberals and Conservatives loved their privilege.
  4. Because of the sharp rise in inequality, especially in this pandemic. There should be increased focus on wealth disparity from the media and civil rights organizations right now. The rich have made exponential gains while the have nots have not.
  5. During this pandemic, the super wealthy enriched themselves extremely quickly, while the downtrodden made little to no gains due to inflation. This is coming in a delicate and dangerous era when a seemingly weak and proven to be an unhealthy Democratic President is elected in the midst of quasi war with China, tensions have mounted since his short tenure as president in the Middle East and a major chip shortage which could shape America's level of sovereignty -and dignity- in the XXIth century, is far from being won in the American perspective. This comes at a time where a divorce in the upper class warrants you being the richest female the world has ever seen. Jeff Bezo's ex, who contributed to nothing except maybe cooking an omelette when Jeff was tired, made a fortune doing approximately nothing. This comes when Jeff Bezos has a net worth of $150B, and still manages to pay his employees $15/h, and they don't get toilet breaks. Jeff Bezo's employees, while they are working very hard and putting in the effort to make the biggest delivery corporation in recorded history, are pissing in bottles and rely on food stamps for living. Food stamps to subsizide the sh*t wages Bezos is offering. Meanwhile, Democrats and GOP Congress cut down the $2000 stimulus for every american to a short $1400. The upper class is making a lot of money on the back of their workers, who in turn get close to jacksh*t. Wages are extremely low, competition is very high; an immigrant will replace you for a bowl of rice, if not, they will robotize your position. Corporate establishments are buying houses by the hundreds of thousands to control the Housing sector, increasing prices of said houses. And what do we hear in the public discourse? RACISM. SEXISM. TRANS RIGHTS. What do you think will happen in a society that completely ignores its own internal problems? What do you think happens when the populace becomes more and more hungry and the upper class lazier and lazier, and worse; making their money in immoral or unjust ways?
  6. So all the Bloc Québécois voters would have to swear an oath too?
  7. Your point is good, actually, and changed my mind a bit on the issue. Specifically in Vancouver though, I know Chinese 'investors' go and buy those houses to leave China, and make auctions as high as possible for money laundering their money they made in China, so they can get a huge line of credit when they come here.
  8. Yes, partly. It's their way out of China, and they have access to an incredibly high line of credit since their home is so overvalued.
  9. How is having more immigrants when the supply for housing doesn't grow as fast as demand, not having an impact on the cost of housing? Please, I want to know your reasoning, because I'm in the real world, where there is supply and demand. Increased demand inexorably increases price if supply doesn't follow.
  10. Monkey from Tribe B wants to go to Tribe A. Monkey buys hut from Tribe A first to not make Tribe B suspicious. Monkey eventually moves to Tribe B, after hut worth 10 bananas instead of 2. Michael understood?
  11. Come on. Are you serious right now. Buying real estate in Canada is the way to go for Chinese aristocracy to leave their land.
  12. You would have to be some kind of stupid to not make a link between both. Come on, cut the BS.
  13. These are the world leaders. Say something nice about them.

  14. Good. Canadians were the most opposed to Quebecers and their nationalistic pride, up to the point where Canadians rejected their identity just to prove they were morally superior to the French. You despised everyone talking about group pride, as some form of bigotry. You let hundreds of thousands of strangers who have nothing in common with you, except the desire to make money, and you thought it wouldn't have an impact, because Canada was supposed to be a fairy tale country where everyone gets along all the time, eh! Yet, every effort you made to preserve 'your country of Canada', has made you weaker and weaker. Your own academia, media, governments and even mayors hate you Canadian Folks. And you deserve all of that. I'm very happy for that outcome.
  15. I'd call it a Human Rights issue. Poor white folks deserve of as much help and compassion as those who are not white. Denying them help because they are white will lead to a multitude of issues in between the already fragile equilibrium of races in the United States.
  16. Joe Biden, who took office in January, announced nation-wide recovery measures to combat the effects of the pandemic on the USA's economy. One of his specific plan, was to give money to small businesses most hurt by the pandemic, under one condition; the owner of said business must not have white skin. This is an extremely concerning news, as this is a plan pushed forward politically that would create a lot of animosity. This is blocked by two courts right now; https://www.wsj.com/articles/stopping-racial-bias-in-covid-relief-11622421892 This is something we saw Democrats do as well in Oakland, where the people -except those who have white skin- who make less than $US 59,000, are eligible to receive $US 500 a month. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/23/oakland-california-universal-basic-income-program Just remember the Democrats really hate White people, and they would risk a civil war if they could hurt them to favor them electorally.
  17. If I were in Trudeau's shoes, for once, I would do the same. What kind of details can you give in those circumstances?
  18. The Japanese played their cards better, as they didn't make strong shows of force and have made no enemies per say -just rivals-.
  19. HOW JAPAN PICKS AMERICA'S BRAINS Much of its economic success has been built on bought, borrowed, or stolen technology. Now U.S. companies are striking back -- but a two-way street is still far off. WHILE skirmishes over trade balances continue to dominate the governmental dialogue between Tokyo and Washington, technology is rapidly becoming the main battleground. ''The future of U.S.-Japan trade negotiations is increasingly high tech,'' says a top Western diplomat in Tokyo. Indeed, technology has been at the root of a number of recent diplomatic flaps between the two countries: sanctions against Japanese electronic products in response to microchip dumping, the illegal sale of Toshiba machine tools to the Soviet Union, demands for access to a big part of Japan's market for U.S. supercomputers, and attempts by Japanese bureaucrats to restrict foreign competition in domestic telecommunications. Sometimes protectionist sentiment spills into the technical arena. https://archive.fortune.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/1987/12/21/69996/index.htm ---- I wasn't even born and I remember the story of Japan incoming economical powerhouse which would dominate the US. China now is the Japan of 1987.

      It was definitely the first time we saw a president inviting a mob to sabotage the Constitution and storm the Capitol and then going home to watch it on TV.

      The meds, Bubber, the meds. You have all kinds of stories in your head. It's fine. Take care and reapologize later.

      I reapologize. I understand how you feel humiliated now and don't want to upset you. I think it's starting to sink in you guys will never recover. That realization hit poor shady like a ton of bricks. 

  21. There is a strange reactivity to denounce immediately the worse elements of the Right, while the Left does the same, and with the power of corporations, and get no threats of losing their jobs, to be attacked in the streets or to be punished. It has to change, so that both sides are punished equally. Or else, it is Civil War.
  22. And who is here to call for his imprisonment, from the radical left of this forum? Where is Bubber, Argus? Why is it that Left wing violence is so mainstream and widely accepted as it is right now? In the meantime, Donald Trump receives 600k views on his livestreaming on Youtube 2 hours prior his speech; Is the Left completely radicalized and resorting to violence because of defeatism inside their ranks?
  23. Hey Sir, what's up with the Russia conspiracy thingy?
