That is the classic neocon argument. Because for gods sake wages can’t be rising and workers can have an upper hand. Why do you think Fed is so busy now trying to raise the rate while all these time they were busy buying bonds creating the

No unfortunately. Both parties are run by elites and busy screwing over people. But why do we have to think in terms of party line?

Atlantic has sadly become the type of neoliberalism fanboy that even after decades of pushback from American public hasn’t got the message seemingly. America isn’t self obsessed, the elites running America in its current state in the form o

Real problem is elites in this country from both parties made it clear they are much more concerned about wage growth than anything else. This whole last 14yrs of extraordinary asset inflation, which by the way they conveniently don’t take

Right and forcing Europe to choose between coal and getting freezes is not threatening climate efforts I guess? Here is a much better rebute of all the environmentalists claiming mining is the problem: https://www.lynalden.com&#x

There is something interesting going on here from a geopolitical angle. EU is being sued for providing recovery fund because some senior German EU officials don’t like their right wing government.[1] This is even though Poland is housing mi

This isn’t unique to Portugal. In Toronto, where I used to live asa kid, home prices have gone at least 300% depending on areas. Vancouver has experienced the same type of price increase. At this point, a lot of Canadians I know unless you

Was in Germany, can confirm many locals were opting for trains. Not to say many small towns were getting long needed boosts in tourism after Covid downturn. I don’t know how small compared to overall German government balance sheet to withs

It doesn’t justify but it prolongs it. The so called “resistance” everyone here is encouraged to form and sympathize with, at some point you realize why do I as someone sitting far away have to care so much more when their own leadership an

Mostly agree with you. I used to be as pro-Israel as it gets but after my visits to that area I think the burden you mr average Joe Palestinian has to bear to for example just to do normal things such as going to work or driving to see the

That’s an interesting point, I wonder how much of obesity is contributing factor to consuming fast food such as cola or sodas and burgers etc. because McDonalds were around even in the 70s. Or perhaps the obesity is propagating through gene

Of course you had to slander me instead of putting up any reasonable counter argument. Classic!

Of course and that’s how we get our civil rights eroded. Revolving door between security apparatus and news agency. Why do the media have fifth amendment protection then I may ask.

Oh but NVDA has operational hub in PRC. And by their law NVDA would be required to hand over the IP.

by mercy_dude 4y ago
Jokes on them. China should already have IP ownerships of these products just because of the fact that Nvidia has their manufacturing hubs based there. They will get the IP and then copy the product and sell them to the rest of the world in

The biggest underlying issue is the decline of family units. No one talks about it but it’s true. You can’t function as a society when there is no immediate support system left in the form of family and loved ones. We are inherently a socia

Or May be that was the US master plan all along. I mean when has US ever had a marshal plan? Anyone who has followed US foreign policies after war, there are multiple examples come to sight where they just straight up help the country go in

Again it goes to show how the nation state apparatus controls the narrative. If FBI can control FB then what is to them NYT and WP which they served all along in the previous administration as a source of leak. Oh wait we are still under th

Don’t forget also the anticipation of inflation - many use housing as a hedge of high inflationary environment. If there is more damage the Fed could have done to GenZ since the bailout, that was reckless Covid spending. I sincerely wish th

I am as sympathetic to the Germans who dont want racial diversity and as anti globalist as it gets. But here is the counter argument. Europe (if you don’t take the Slavs and the albenians into account) has a negative birth rate. There is no

I don’t think you understand geopolitics in that part of the world. Shia dominated Iran has very little influence on Sunni Pakistan. As far as I can recall, Pakistan always had their entire existence centred around anti-India perspective, t

This is a false equivalency. The extent to which Pakistan used its military apparatus to train militias and other terrorist organizations is unparalleled. There is a reason Osama Bin Laden found a safe heaven. This is the what aboutism that
