So here's a question: Why shouldn't we just give southern ontario back to New York State and cut our losses?
Put simply, because 50% of the American economy was government at its peak in 2020, and 80% of dollars in existence were printed since 2020.
So for every apple you buy, there's a whole ecosystem sucking apples down without doing anything productive in exchange.

ngl, as an old man who grew up watching power rangers, I kinda want to read the comic.
It didn't do very well until the pandemic. If he actually is the bureaucracy buster he says he'll be, it's going to go down, but if he's the same as Trump 1, I sort of expect it's at least go generally sideways. If he spends like he did in his last quarter in office, it's gold 10k like Peter Schiff says.
I'm leaning towards "that's fucked up" because part of me thinks it wasn't a mistake.
I feel like some forms of inflation are morally just, and "I have to pay more money because we don't have slaves do work anymore" is one of those just causes of inflation.
The same media that told you to believe all that told you Trump would never be able to be in politics ever again, he'd never run for president again, and that he'd never win.
Uncritically believing whatever the media tells you isn't healthy. Imagine if you were in Germany in 1938, what would you be telling me then if you uncritically believed what the German media told you?

If only everyone could agree we live in a more authoritarian western society than we ought to and focus on pushing back against that, instead of pushing back against the less authoritarian people who happen to be "on the other side".
The left is like "Oh, he's hitler, he's going to bring about ethnic purges" and every wignat I see is like "Shut up! He's not going to do that! He's not cool enough!"
The one I heard that made me smile the most is if Trump makes Ron Paul the chairman of the Fed.
They could make LED bulbs last forever basically tomorrow, and they'd be a lot more efficient too. It's a real shame achievable stuff like that never gets pushed and instead they push for moonshots.
One person on the right I used to be mutuals with saw me saying "Oh yes, the orthodox Jewish vote, just like Hitler got!" and got offended, probably because of Poe's law.
But the fact that many of the supposedly offended minority votes moved Red in record numbers should tell us that the fundamental message is universal.

People are scared about how they'll keep having food and shelter and the dems were calling it "brat summer" and hoping for a "vibes election".
This was a Marie Antoinette election.
Hopefully this election helps humble the Democrats somewhat so they can nail their feet to the floor and start running campaigns in the real world again. Blowouts like last week aren't ultimately good for the people in general.

The scary thing is that antidepressants are like a volume knob for your emotions, you can turn it all down.
I always liken them to taking morphine to stop the pain of a broken leg. The thing is, even if you kill the pain you can't keep walking on that leg or it's going to get further damage done to it.
If the drug companies had their way, they'd want us all walking on two broken legs popping morphine to kill the pain, and broken inside popping anti-depressants so we stop thinking about how much it hurts in our hearts.

Maybe on January 6th they should go down to the congress building and peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard?
One thing that really became obvious to me this election is how much of the democratic platform assumes that everyone is a stereotype.
The Democrats assumed that every Latino loves illegal immigration when Latinos who can vote are citizens who went through the process legally. Similarly, the Democrats obviously assumed that the only thing that women want in life is to abort babies, and while I'm sure that is a factor in many women's decisions to vote, the fact that people aren't able to afford food shelter heat and transportation at the same time is universal. Who cares if you can get abortions if you're going to be living under a bridge down by the river picking through garbage for half eaten Big Macs?
