Probably the only good thing that came out of the mid terms. Senator Ron Johnson was reelected.

Dr. Ryan Cole Says OB/GYN’s Are Sending Him Placentas From Vaxxed Mothers to Examine
Sam Vaknin warned us about Obama in 2008 and Trump in 2016. He has issued another warning for Trump. I’ve come to understand narcissism/ personality disorders much much better after listening to him for the past 5 years.
I don’t know a politician right now that doesn’t fall under some spectrum of crazy, regular people cannot mentally be politicians. This just means it becomes a turf war to try and persuade the powerful to throw some crumbs our way. The problem with Trump, possibly Putin, is they will blow the whole thing up once they feel defeated. They could care less about self-destruction so long as no one gets it. This is a fundamental difference from Biden, Bush, or Desantis. Although, ordinary politicians have been embolden lately. Covid turned many politicians into petty tyrants.

It is not that complicated, and Trump could do it. DeSantis might too. But he's young, and can wait for 2028.
1. No men in Stilettos in the WH
2. Energy independence
3. Army seals the southern border
4. D. MacGregor as SecDef
5. Verifiable elections (I should be able to download the equivalent of 50 Excel spreadsheets and do the count myself, with traceability to unique and registered voters - say, each gets a GUIID every election - trivial - A fun little GUID generator - good one)
Fully concur. I have gay friends regardless of our difference in beliefs on the subject of sexual orientation. I have seen them treated terribly by "the community." Some for political things like supporting Trump or other "unapproved" candidates, but sometimes just for having their own opinions on non-political things that didn't jive with the hive mind. It goes back to the false dichotomy priming of society I spoke of previously in this thread. Just because people don't agree doesn't mean they can't still love or respect one another, but that's not how activists see it.
Disagree here, still. Trump is absolutely the perfect candidate for president in 2024 precisely because all he has to do is take out the regulations and people that need to be removed. Regardless of how successful he is there are two options: a war of attrition until people literally retire/die out of the system or it collapses as you said.
Desantis has demonstrated, unequivocally, the power that a governor can wield AND that states don't really need the federal government as much as people think. There will need to be robust infrastructure and systems in place to survive demographic, economic, trade, food, transportation, energy, technology and labor collapse as globalism dies in the next couple of decades. Either state and local governments begin preparing and cooperating now for that inevitable outcome to support people and commerce, or we all just kind of saunter into a deindustrialized world where we all farm by hand, carry loads on our backs, and die of disease early.
Sharper minds than mine may recollect that about a year ago we were reading on this board something about life insurance companies NOT adjusting their premiums in the wake of COVID. Am I mis-remembering that? How does this dovetail with this data re deaths and life insurance, if ANY of it is true?
Stop noticing things.
Agreed. The current civilization is predicated on so many flawed and 180 degree wrong assumptions. It simply cannot work. The only reason some of it sort of still seems to work is that we are running on the fumes of social/cultural fuel that was found, excavated, pumped, filtered, distilled, bottled, packaged, shipped, delivered and sold by an earlier civilization.
A brilliant discussion on the essence of money!
