A lot of people born in the US don't know what they have, I live in a democracy, but I have nowhere near the level of freedom or (codified) checks and balances you do.
So, in a sense, the USA means a huge deal to me because of what it represents.
You are more right than you know. I have been in some real shitholes in the world, and some nice places as well. I still chose to come back to the US and retire.
The US means a huge deal to me, born and raised here. Not that anything is perfect, but free and fair elections as well as the rule of law were never questioned. Now they're both at risk.
I don't talk about what I'd die for because nothing's managed to kill me yet, and it's not for a lack of trying. I'd certainly kill over many single issues that are FUBAR, and we've got a LOT of those. It may come to that's the best (or only) solution, but we all hope not. Right now we're all focused on DJT not being poisoned or abused, and emerging from the hospital intact. The timing of this right when Blackstone is taking over the merger of the Fed and the US Treasury has DS written all over it ...
Completely true. I was born in communist Romania, my father was jailed in Popa Sapca (Popes Hat Prison) for helping people flee communist Ro where he was beaten and tortured for 14 months potentially facing 7 years and never broke. We came to the US in 86 and I can still remember my family gathering around a tv in '89 watching the revolution, teary eyed. For my family and many Romanians of that time, America is and will always be "the promised land flowing with milk and honey" from the Bible. We value the freedoms in America because they cost us a lot, and you don't value what doesn't cost you. God bless the USA, God protect us from the evil communists, God help create more avenues for people to get involved.
“What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.”
Some people won't know what they have until it's gone. We're so damn lucky to live in a country where people can be this spoiled!

The issue is being able to emigrate legally, the immigration system means it is very difficult to come in lawfully.

How is black stone talking over? Black stone is a private company also.
So is (was?) the Fed. This is THE biggest issue of our lifetime.
Is Blackstone run by globalist bankers though?
