Yup, he doesn't really do anything. Lobbyists and the Establishment is in charge.
He reads from his script, with the threat that if he doesn't, himself and Hunter go off to prison.
Oh everyone is getting more taxes.
They will probably tax all cars, EV and gas powered, by the mile. Along with higher per gallon taxes on gas.
And that methane tax? I hope you either like getting your protein by eating buggies, or you are super rich. They will probably add a cow and pig tax.
I just hope that you aren't buying a ton of paper that will rapidly lose value with inflation.
Want to know what to do? Join up with a position with a local political party. Start pushing Patriots into office.
It really started at around 2008 with Occupy Wall Street.
At first the Occupy Wall Street people were protesting against the excesses of the Financial Sector, and how they were getting billions of dollars of taxpayer money, by virtue of holding the economy hostage.
This is what gave the Tea Party it's start as well. The main difference is that Occupy Wall Street wanted the government money to go to Main Street, and Tea Party wanted government money to be returned to the tax payer.
Then Occupy Wall Street got "assistance" from a bunch of Trust Fund babies from Harvard and other Ivy League Schools. Suddenly they stopped giving a shit about billions going to billionaires, and instead started complaining about intersectionality and how everything was "White Power". This shit is still going on today. And they will still keep going until people reject it. BLM kind of got their start here as well. But do you think that BLM and Antifa are going to protest against Vulture Capitalists and globalists in general sending all our jobs to China? Nope. The leadership got their 10 billion dollar payoff this year, with a promise of more to come. They know who wetted their whistle. As long as the checks still keep coming from Uncle Sugar, they will keep fighting against "whitey".
Of course, the rank and file got jack and shit. Antifa is still smashing up bank windows. Thrashing around, not realizing they are basically Mongo from Blazing Saddles.
Antifa don't know. Antifa only pawn in game of life.
The Tea Party ended up the same way. Instead of focusing on the billions of dollars going off to Vulture Capitalists, Fox News and the GOPe got involved and suddenly it focused on 2A and Abortion. Of course, we finally got Trump, and he started pushing back against the globalists. This is why they are attacking us with the fury of a thousand suns.
Antifa/BLM are controlled opposition. We actually are still pushing back against the Globalists.
Welcome to the Great State of Anarcho-Tyranny.
Yup. I love it that they preach about these things, while living in a mansion protected by fences and electric sensors, while outside they have bodyguards armed with guns. Then they are happy with closing down the schools and restaurants "all of our safety" while hiring private tutors and chefs.
While they say that no one needs guns and that fences don't work. And that people who aren't worth millions are "endangering us all" while wanting to go to school and lift weights.
The point wasn't to throw them in jail. It was to intimidate people. If you protest about what we are doing, we'll throw you in jail.
Playbook out of CCP.
I'll be kind of honest. There is part of me that hopes that Frankenstein's monster visits Kroger stores in the area, just as they did with Target in Minneapolis. I suspect that I'm not alone in this indulgence, but I cheer a little bit when Antifa/BLM rioters burn down or otherwise damage stores and places of business that cover their windows in lambs blood.
I'm looking at you Starbucks in Portland and Seattle... Along with the various banks.
Yup, I immediately saw it as "Kroger closes underperforming stores, focuses on improving performance of nearby locations."
Keep in mind that Walmart doesn't want to soak up the cost indefinitely. Once the competition is gone, they can abuse their local monopoly to make some multiple of the initial investment back.
However, all of the single store/smaller chains have been driven out of an area, and they still can't make a profit off that location, they will close the store. It sounds like Kroger is doing the same thing.
A market's customers still need to buy food, it's just that they will have to drive 10 minutes to another location, hopefully of the same chain, (which will help make the other location even more profitable) instead of 5 to the one in the local neighborhood.
They want everyone a criminal, that way they can selectively enforce the laws to arrest those they find politically "problematic."
Same shit that goes on in Russia and China today.
I hope he reintroduces this when it will actually pass.
You aren't wrong.
Governmental stupidity.
If we wanted to engage in currency manipulation to improve the trade balance with China, the Federal Reserve would print US dollars and use them to buy RMB. This would devalue the dollar and increase the value of the RMB.
Printing a ton of money is almost certainly going to cause inflation. This will result in significant losses to those who own dollar denominated securities and those on fixed incomes. But, it will be pretty sweet to those who owe lots of money.
Those who own natural resources or means of production will only be effected by market disruption.
If you want to take advantage of it, your best bet would be to purchase real estate that you can rent out. But, do avoid areas that have rent control or limit rent increases... If inflation hits, you could get screwed if your tenants can pay pre-inflation rates, and you are forced to pay for repairs and taxes with post inflation dollars. The other thing would be to invest in things used to manufacture necessities.
Things will probably get wonky with interest rates. Inflation, and the prospect of future inflation typically substantially increase long term interest rates. But, on the other hand, there is a ton of US dollars sitting in bank accounts, looking for an investment, slowly evaporating due to inflation typically suppress them.
To be fair. It was a pretty good border and immigration policy. Next up, he can finish the wall. Then he can say "This is Biden's wall. Just like how operation Warp Speed was Biden's idea."
Give Al Gore a run for the money for his invention of the internet.
There is a reason why you want sheriffs, police chiefs, and DAs to be elected officials.
Of course, if you elect a shitbird, you kind of get what you deserve. Hello Portland and Seattle!
So, after that 2x4, it's about $300 bucks, right?
Here I was planning on doing some home improvements this summer. Then I looked at the price of lumber.
It's our duty to make a mockeryXXXXXXXX money off of their gun buyback programs.
I'm heartened to hear that patriots are taking back their party.
It was fake CGI using special effect. During the 80s, computers didn't have the horsepower to do this kind of CGI graphics, but it was on the horizon. Here is a picture of Max Headroom being filmed.

Nope, not CGI.
Max headroom was a guy in a mask and plastic suit on a green screen, with some creative editing.
The original background was all hand drawn in the early days. But they then did eventually move to CGI for the background.
Not really. You get somewhere between 3 to 4 miles per kWhr for electric cars, depending how large it is.
Average cost in the US is 13.2 cents per kWh. That's like permanent ~$1 dollar a gallon gas.
But, you do pay more upfront for an electric car than a gas powered one. ROI is highly dependent on how many miles you put on it per year, but it will typically favor the electric car over the lifecycle as compared with a conventional engine.
I've done the math for someone who was trying to decide between a Model 3 or a Camry for his side Uber job, and the Model 3 came out strongly ahead.
Forget GME. Under Biden, a gallon of unleaded: 🚀🌕🌙🌛
I hope it's a TIPS, or otherwise inflation protected...
Too bad all my guns and ammo were lost in a boating accident.
