Theoretically I agree. I think DOGE is a stupid hammer, but if it sheds light on complex issues like procurement, depreciation and efficiency then it could be worth ... something. I do believe people will die though.

How so ? Doesn't the plan, as it's being executed, at least resemble Project 2025 ? At least more than the 2016 plan ?

Of course not. If this was accepted science we would have heard about it.

You look for reasons to be offended 😔

A cartoon is a drawing. Can you at least acknowledge that I backed up your post?

You posted a political cartoon! Are you insane that you can't recognize facts? And my entire post was to say that you were right. Seriously... Do I have to put you on ignore for agreeing with me?

I highly doubt that you spent The time to check the claim in this cartoon. Anyway, I did it on your behalf. 100% true. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-63681617 Sure... This is happening globally as of 2020 when this report was created. Thanks to globalization. It's not happening within countries like the US and Canada necessarily.

Which rules specifically? The economy grew substantially with globalism. Clearly people were doing better. And not just the top wealthiest top earners the real estate sector doubled in size, which meant investors big and small.... Real estate agents, renovators, home furnishing sales.. Are these people all against globalism?

I doubt it 😕 Maybe these things are related though. I suspect Trudeau was a philanderer with amazing cover-up skills on that front.

So... The thread title is now negated?

I think that they do have such defences but no matter.. can any further defenses be added at this point? What can be done?

Wasn't the system already designed to prevent this from happening? It was supposed to allow an informed public to elect leadership that would pursue their best interest right? If so or if not, then what happened and what should happen next?

Most of them were around about as long as Perspektiv...

21 year old thread 🤔

It absolutely is not.

Says you. Don't judge me for how I spend my time, and I will leave you be as well.

I know that the death of Trump might not change anything. I don't know how society heals. Me wasting my time in unproductive discussion won't do it. You want to call what he's doing sanity, which is not what I would call it. Maybe at the end of this experiment (hope you don't mind the term) people will decide.

I do recall creating a thread for some topic or other months ago. In good faith, maybe one of us missed it? If someone posted just pure garbage and didn't even respond to your posts, would you read them? If so I admire the amount of free time you have. I just get nothing out of it. I don't advise people to use ignore against those they disagree with, that would be crazy. The contradiction is what I pointed out... I have posted my reasons for this and they are ignored by people who don't use the actual ignore function. Explain that one to me. 🤔

I'm confused as to why Trump's comments on recession would cause a market drop? Maybe because it signals he's willing to take on more short term pain to correct the trade situation? And is it true that Trump's chorus are quietening down now with the current situation? That puts me in an odd position: whether Trump is right or wrong, he believes that sacrifice is sometimes necessary for reform and I agree with that. But the "cut taxes constantly and regulations without thought because it always is beneficial" cult may actually be stronger than Trump? We're through the looking glass, Milton...

Who said that I ignore people I disagree with? I posted WHY I put people on IGNORE, but these posts didn't acknowledge that. They -> IGNORED <- something because they didn't want to hear it, not because I wouldn't engage with them...

Now you're learning. There are people I can't discuss anything with, because they see discussion that something different than what I see it as. I never think that I know everything and I have nothing to learn. I never think that it's a contest But a lot of people think that. I'll be discussing something and then they'll say something about winning? Winning what? It's not sports, it's about learning. And if you just want to keep repeating the same thing over and over again and never acknowledge a point, why should I waste my time?

They do go outside the box.

They're known as Christians, but I - an atheist - am more Christian than them.

And Jesus told the masses... "JFC, read between the lines bro"

1. Timothy was gay AF. 2. I thought that there was divinity in Buddhism? I'll have to Google that...
