Lmfao they are completely not ready for another reichstag fire. They don't have the infrastructure in place to delete evidence quickly, they don't have the infrastructure in place to entrap their political enemies, and they're just aren't enough jail cells to hold all 60 million of them.
I'm sure you're just joking, but I don't understand why anyone has savings. With inflation on the menu, having cash just doesn't make any sense.
I saw a post a couple days ago by a leftist, excitedly chattering about how the latest budget proposal is going to dramatically raise taxes on the rich.
These people need to understand how politics work. The reason that that budget was put forward this year and not last year is that last year it stood a chance of passing. Meanwhile, the richest people on the face of the Earth get bailed out with money intended to protect the little guy.

With media in general controlled by adverse parties, there's a lot of bad lessons being taught to men and women.
You can take your wooden sword and swing it 6,000 times per day for 10 years, but it won't help you get a single question right on a calculus exam!
Meanwhile, nobody on earth can pass a calculus exam having never learned numbers. Studying for the exam isn't evil, and nobody will pass the exam because they're just inherently good.
Yet we teach women to pursue self-improvement that's meaningless for their goals, and we teach women that they're already good enough and they don't need to change themselves at all anyway, and we teach men that their worth is set from birth and that improving themselves is evil.
Then you get stuff like this thread is about because they do want better than the losers they find themselves around, but the problem is that by demanding unrealistic men, you'll get one in a million supermen, and 999,999 liars.

If he did then he would have proposed this budget last year when it could pass.
His entire party is a fraud. Handing trillions to the world's richest people while pretending to do shit like this with his other hand.

I'm running it locally, and some of the stuff it comes up with is impressively silly.
You're right that being able to run anything remotely similar to the big product on local hardware is a big deal.

I ain't one of them big city doctors, but it seems to me that China has a larger population than the United States.
Nerding out here for a minute, but one specific type of isekai that I see in Korean and Chinese stories is where the main character goes back in time to an earlier time and uses their knowledge of the future to do better this time around. (Arguably it isn't isekai but that doesn't matter for what I'm about to talk about)
I can't help but think that this type of story reminds me a lot of being a parent. You've already lived through a good chunk of life, so you already know where some of the pitfalls are, and so you're trying to help someone who's a lot like you do better this run around.

If you take away someone's work, that messes with their heads. We aren't built for that.
Cesar Milan talks about it a lot on his shows with respect to dogs, and obviously dogs aren't people, but there are a lot of similarities between dogs and people which is why we tend to get along. If you take a dog who's like a hurting dog like a sheepdog, and give them all the food that they'd ever need and never walk them never do anything with them then they start to do things that are harmful. They'll start tearing up the furniture. They'll start digging up the yard. They'll start barking at passers by, because they have a certain amount of energy that their body is set aside to do work during the day so that they can live, and there's a big problem when a dog whose breed had a job to do not only doesn't get to do that job, but doesn't get to do anything else instead. The results in that dog trying to use up that energy doing something else, but without anything to do they end up doing things that are destructive and negative. The answer for dogs is to put them to work. It's to go for walks, it's to play in the yard, it's to go to the park, and if you do that then the dog that was previously a problem animal becomes a perfectly behaved companion.
Of course, dogs are not the only animal that we've seen this in, and we have data showing that this applies to societies as well as individual animals. In the famous Mouse Utopia experiment, mice were given more than enough room to live, more than enough food, and there were no natural predators. Under such circumstances, and the most society grew for a little while, but eventually ended up having a number of pathologies in the society that ultimately led to a colony collapse.
Finally, in my view there are human examples of this as well.
Keep in mind that most of human history has been extremely brutal. Forget about humans and other humans for a minute, humans have always been at odds with nature. In africa, we had to stand up against malaria and other diseases, as well as megafauna that can and will kill us fully dead, and once we left Africa every new environment that we went to had new and different challenges. Until the development of the heavy plow, Western Europe was very difficult to live in, combining different dangerous animals with an annual freeze that is more than enough to kill human beings who evolved on the Savannah. Scientists are aware of a genetic choke point called mitochondrial eve where the human race came so close to extinction that a single woman is the mother of the entire human race from that point forward. That's how dangerous the world has been for humans.
So with that historical context in mind, I have two different opposite examples: first, the kids of the ultra rich. Many of those kids end up totally fucked up because they know full well they don't need to do anything in their lifetime to survive. Many commit suicide, overdose on drugs, crash their sports cars or planes, or otherwise destroy themselves and waste the legacy their parents left them. Good rich parents force their kids to work (even if it's make work jobs) so they can grow up to pass the legacy on as well. Second, native reserves in canada tend to provide the basics of what people need to live. Someone comes in and builds all the houses, they tend to get vehicles, they get all the food that they're going to need, and it is the worst nightmare hell hole you've ever lived in your life. There's more to it than that, I will grant you, but I think a big part of it is the fact that they don't need to do anything to survive. Some people point out that the areas of these reserves are aren't very nice, but those same bloodlines lived in the same places for 20,000 years before today without the same problems that we see now.
I could go on all day, but I won't. There are just too many examples of taking away a person's need to go out and do something in order to earn their survival leading directly to suicidal behavior. We human beings just aren't wired for it.

The saddest thing is the number of people who don't realize the good guys lost. They think that the good guys won and are winning.
Which shouldn't be a surprise, we know that the powers that be have an unlimited amount of money to hire room full of people to figure out how to twist that which is good and positive and just into that which is evil and negative and unjust for their own benefit.

If you want to see Mass suicides, implement universal basic income.
On the other hand, a lot of the people in power want to see Mass suicides. Damn poors and their soaking up resources the 0.1% could be using!!!

My favorite part is that they don't understand... Virtually no mining takes place without fossil fuels. There are mines that call themselves all electric, until you actually go there and realize either that they rely on on site generation so they burn diesel fuel, or they rely on mine air heaters that burn millions of liters of natural gas or propane.
The amount of energy we would have to magically find in order to replace fossil fuels in mining is astronomical.

Cool, so since everyone is so opposed to book bannings we're going to bring back all those Mark Twain books that dropped the n-bomb right?
Ooooooh. I guess it turns out they're not against censorship at all. They're just against censorship when it's controversial messages that they want directed at children.

Peter Schiff has talked about it a lot over the years (There might be other examples of people talking about it but I didn't find any in 3 seconds of searching), that part of a market crash is a "slope of hope" where there's high volatility and people think that the market is turning back around so they buy back in, then they quickly lose their money. This is how seemingly sophisticated traders can lose everything in a market crash.
Remember that these are the same people who think Christianity is entirely about not judging anything or anyone ever.
I feel for the alleged beneficiaries of wokeness (the minorities), because the backlash is going to be far worse than anything it was intended to prevent.
It's the ultimate in modern colonial mindset: These rich and powerful elites waltz in like they own the place, spew their bullshit all over the place, and they'll quickly leave once it starts to smell and there's no more clout to extract.
