There should at least be some diversity of background in reps, not almost all lawyers and or military.
If one group makes up a majority your going to start seeing their desires.
If you have a government made up of almost all lawyers your going to see what we have now endless bills and laws that few can decipher, If you get a government made up of mostly military your probably going to start seeing more wars and saber rattling. If you get a government made up of milk farmers your going to get a lot of emphasis on milk, cheese, butter, .etc.
This, unfortunately finding people willing to take all the flac and hardship that's required without selling themselves out for power and money whittles down the selection.
And we all see how nasty Democrats and even Republicans will treat you and your family when you go against the grain.
I hope this can change though.
One big thing ignored is that China is also growing it's influence in Africa, all the western nations left because they were afraid of being labeled racists for one reason or another and China is happily filling the void, and they don't tend to care to much about feelings.
Yep, Germany even attempt this stuff further back in the 1870s (if more at a privately funded level) to take over Texas by sheer numbers. Thats why central Texas has so many little German towns and people of German descent from them, people lived and functioned in them without ever needing to learning english. It wasn't really enough to be successful though, by then lots of deep south refugees were also migrating to Texas as well. The final wrench was thrown with the US entering WW1. By then it wasn't so good to be the German guy, so most molded into being outwardly more American.
For those unaware China also likes to use the pretext of Qing dynasty era maps for what's considered theirs, they've been through at least 2 (3 if you count Japanese occupation) major governments since then and even more constitutions. It would be like Spain suddenly claiming that Texas belonged to them because it used to.
Great... This is probably 1 of 3 things.
#1. As the Fed is technically independent and they can't just order them arround, this is signaling or a threat to do what they want since they may not be playing ball as they want and they're not comfortable with their pants down. Quite frankly Trump would be facing this issue too were he rightfully in charge. The Fed is in a very precarious situation of damned if you do damned if you don't, if they raise now they risk a crash blaimed on them. If they don't well it seems even Democrats are worried.
#2. They need a new disaster with a new boogeyman as the virus winds down and they can't take any more of blm converting people to our side. Maybe even a boogeyman that can seemingly "unite" the country while allowing political insiders to gain power and riches fighting said "enemy".
#3. They want to cause an economic crash as a means to consolidate more power FDR style and get rich with insider knowledge via shorting etc.
Ultimately depends on who's in charge of the whole charade.
Was wondering when something like this was going to start occuring.
I've been saying, if the powers that be want anything to rule over, rates have got to be raised, the entire government has it pants down right now and no way out if there's another even minor economic downturn.
The Dems are probably pushing their propoganda outlets to try and influence the Feds because even they smell trouble on the horizon.
The fed wants to play it slow, but they're in a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation now. Raise rates and drop the stocks short term, don't raise rates and have no ability to lessen the next downturn which who knows if could be sooner or later after all the craziness with the economy this last year.
Haven't checked this year but it was like this in Texas at the beaches too this last summer, never saw such an outpouring of support and dedication for a president that was such grassroots.
This is probably the same old dog and pony show, Democrats are just as guilty of it as the GOP. Make a "promise" or commitment, perform minimal effort to even achieve it while lobbyist whisper in your ears, go "oh well maybe next time" and use the issue in the next round of fundraising. Rinse and repeat.
I believe this is the media/democrat conglomerate's goal, they want to push normal people over the edge with the lawlessness and unfair treatment under the law to use as a pretence to yet more power and division.
Exactly, "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics".
Same, and this alignment is how Facism forms, when everyone falls in line.
I think one would be hard pressed to even find private security at this point that would come.
The second a private security actually takes action and trys to detain or shoot one of the animals they will be crucified by the media and mob. Probably not worth the risk for a paycheck to them, it's not their shoes and TVs anyway.
Yea, how there constructing the data matters. Are they basing it on average or median car price or the cheapest car available on the market at the time.
Look how closely housing follows wages as if raising the minimum wage will make such things more accessible and the prices wouldn't immediately go up to meet it.
I think some of these corporate folk are so deep in clown world that they legitimately still think theses people are just like the people there used to dealing with except somehow oppressed. You know they must all be white and blue collar workers like you and I who are just disgruntled with the system, but if we put up the signs they will respect us.
No, theses are the bottom of the barrel parasitic slime of inner-city society that's been bred and enabled through decades of failed policies and ignoring real issues. Wouldn't be surprised if a portion couldn't even read the signs. Not that it would change anything, if anything the signs enable the behavior at this point since there has been no condemnation for past riots and only kowtowing.
Google? More like Ghetto.
Search results for this should redirect to grammar courses.
I don't doubt it's a similar percentage for the US. The elites seem to want a wage slave class for their usage as well as any politically needed class warfare. People on the brink are easier to control at least until they get hungry, that's when things get nasty.
The lack of financial education in schools is appalling, but come to think about it I don't know if I have heard of any country that pushes for it, which is pretty telling in itself of how governments "care" for their citizens well being.
I would like to see every gun store scan prospective buyers social media as well before fulfilling a sale. It's painfully obvious FBI background checks are worthless. As arbiters for the cause it's a small thing every shop could do to help.
They have a hate filled vitriol social media? No Sale.
They have a social media otherwise normal with some minor democrat propoganda? Make it as a learning experience.
Would be interesting to see if it's true, but based on other accounts it seems most of the crazies are never shy about there radical feelings. It's almost never going to be goodey-two-shoes just one day snaps and decides to kill random people, it's usually a troubled person who is overtly mad at the world for one reason or another with a lot of buildup that they make known.
The pawns and enablers always think they will get a place of honor and prestige at the end for their comradery, but history shows time and time again there the first lined up against the wall and purged once their usufulness is expended.
The dollar is a weird animal being a reserve currency so typical economic principals don't seem to always apply in ways one would think regarding inflation etc.
Once they realized this their now pushing more and more and seeing what they can get away with without large immediate effects (lasting effects are the next guys problem).
It's a cookie jar but it's a black box, you can't see how many cookies are in it. In the past we said don't take more than 10 a day or you won't have any more tomorrow, but then someone took 11 and the next day nothing much changed, so they took 12 so on and so forth. Someday though there going to reach in for 35 and only pull out 10, that's the beginning of the end.
In another way the dollar is not to unlike bitcoin, nothing backs it except the confidence of value and in the dollars case the backing of a historicaly rule of law respecting nation (something vastly disappearing). If the confidence is lost or something better floats along it's in trouble.
You have two groups one pillaging wanting it to continue so there's more to pillage, the other actively trying to destroy it via instability. Both sides seem to think they can use or outsmart the other to their goals and are racing to the same result.
#1: No, not really at all for normal people, their plenty nationalistic, but there's no downright hatred and to the contrary usually welcome with open arms. American products are also highly valued still over some domestic ones even with massive tariffs and taxes on them. The main country that, get beaten on politically is Japan, usually when a political distraction is needed, but even that's mostly symbolic.
2# No, there's certain areas usually government workers where your basically required to be a member if you hold the job. If your a big business person or something it might also set you ahead, but for most people it's not a concern. If I recall the party usually likes to try and pick prospective people out while in college and guide them toward the political route.
3# Not much, it's hard to get a guage, but most people seem to be content or at least go about there own business, stability is very much valued and nationalism is heavily pushed in school and society so people are generally proud of there country.
One thing to remember is that China is communist in name only there not ruled as a command economy as the Soviet Union was, they tried and that failed badly. Rather it's more akin to Facism in definition, capitalism is allowed and encouraged, regulation is pretty relaxed. China actually calls their system "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics".
4# I don't think such things are even on the lay person's mind, and for the government it's usually if any at all just sabre rattling with no intention. China doesn't need hot war anyway to get ahead especially when the competition is repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot.
Another thing is that China had a nasty violent time during the 20th century, they don't want to go through that again. This is sometimes even touted as an excuse against democratic reforms or different political opinions. Essentialy "You don't want to risk chaos again do you?"
Because China had such massive economic growth in the last 20 years a lot of people are still happy or content, not sure if things will change as it slows down, but for a while it's been like the US 1960s with a lot of growth and movement to middle class.
You can't do much in China without a government ID so pretty much everyone has one so it's likely tied to that.
They serve the same function as we typically use drivers license in the states, need one to open a bank account, purchase a sim card, travel on a train, rent something, etc.
As for cash the use of cash in China has dropped dramatically in the last few years do to WeChat Pay and AliPay type services, some don't bother carrying cash arround anymore its so prevalent. Credit cards never really took off, but these pay services did big-time, and I got to give props for the effectiveness and ease of use especially getting it to small merchants and no crazy fees.
You open the app scan a QR code and you pay, super easy, down side is now the government can potentially see everything, but it's like that with credit cards anyway. You of course need an ID to open the account.
I don't have data to back it up, but I don't think the social credit score system is widely used at least yet, more it exists as a threat of public shaming for bad behavior.
This is what baffles me, there's something really weird going on, someone is trying to stir the pot and these incidents seem to only be in a few select areas. There were advertisement on tv up before these reports were even coming out much, so it's all really strange.
Is random people getting beat up in the street by thugs relatively equally distributed across the population and the media is only reporting on Asian victims for reasons? Or did all the thugs simultaneously wake up a few weeks ago and decide all the world's problems are due to random Asian people?
I'm thinking it's the first, there seems to be something about NY and DC that encourages thugs to beat up random people, I recall hearing a few months ago that even Rick Moranis got randomly sucker punched by a black guy while walking down the street in NYC.
It's also obviously a payoff to the hotels who have connections for killing tourism for the last year.
Do Democrats ever do anything that doesn't results in some buddy of theirs getting a payoff?
It will probably go straight into political allies pockets and nothing will actually get fixed as these places will become or remain burn out husks roamed by parasites and the poor who couldn't afford to leave, shame the census wasn't a year later because I suspect a lot of flight is going on right now and probably in red state's favors...
