I think "Cool yourself man" kid was black, which adds context to the teacher freaking out so hard
"AFTER I STOOD UP FOR YOU!?!?!?!?!?! PUNKASSS!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Lol I only listened to it once and thought he said "kill yourself, man"

Kinda disappointed he didn't, though the reaction it illicted is even crazier.

The only solution to imagined racism is apparently unironic patronizing racism while thinking you are some enlightened bodhisattva of anti-racism.
 
I'm around a lot of Boomers, and nigga call me Nostra-fuckin-damus over here because suddenly, amazingly, unfathomably, the price of food is now an issue.
Like bro, all I heard from the royal you was that the Bidenflation wasn't a big deal and, in fact, that the President doesn't have anything at all to do with food prices.
It's not even amazing anymore, it's actually kind of scary how easy and quickly they adopt the current MSM programming.

I saw earlier posts about getting back to the gold standard, but that would be a multi-stage process, also hinged on if Vance wins 2028.

As much I would love to just kill it, I feel that a boiling frog approach is more needed:
  1. Repeal Dodd-Frank
  2. Return Glass-Steagle, possibly with less of the regulatory clauses so monetary self discipline in the private sector is expected
  3. Have an internal audit of Fort Knox and start buying up Gold within the international market. Open up gold mines (Greenland) and try to recoup enough gold to be at least the world plurality, more preferably have a larger gold reserve than all of BRICS or the EU, maybe about 20,000 tonnes? That's about 2-3 trillion dollars right now, expensive but worth it.
  4. Reverse Nixon's cessation of convertibility of dollars to gold. I don't know at what rate
  5. Repeal any remnants Gold Reserve Act of 1934, protect and enshrine the private right to own precious metals (and crypto) and allow dollars to be traded for gold
  6. Further shed and wither out Glass Steagle
  7. Formally abolish the Federal Reserve
Returning to the gold standard sounds great until you realize that it puts the value of the dollar into the hands of anyone with a gold mine

Ideally it'd be by constitutional amendment or something so that it'd be basically impossible unless there was a nation threatening need. Forces a balanced budget so no more capital injection by fiat but allows it in break the glass scenarios.
 
I don't want to doom but what can be done? Because I know they'll keep pushing it, and they've already bent so many rules to fuck over Trump.
Take solace that we were not the ones to destroy the Republic and pray that we can put back the pieces together in a meaningful way after we do the needful to the weirdos in funny robes.
 
Where ever the next job is. And if there isn't any, it doesn't really matter anyway cause they can't afford the mortgage and will lose the house either way
Could we see a housing price implosion?

DC will be a ghost town rige with empty houses and squatters.

It is more that the genie is out of the bottle, and the amount of dollars out there makes it so that you would empty out Fort Knox in an instance the moment you make dollars convertible to gold.

We have trillion-dollar companies built on TSMC, and the island additionally serves to keep the Chinese Navy unable to sail at will in the Pacific. And unlike many Asian industries, it's not a matter of American companies offshoring their factories; TSMC is simply better at making semiconductors than anyone else in the world.

There are American foundries, but Global Foundries is run by dishonest retards, Intel is the sick man of the chip industry due to brain drain, institutional sclerosis, and diverting money from R&D to DEI for nearly 10 straight years, and Texas Instruments gave up on being bleeding edge ages ago.

If anything, our lifeline in semiconductors is the fact that East Asian countries don't have any equivalent of the Civil Rights Act or a large, negro population that needs to be pandered to, so they can stay ahead of the tech curve without diversity grifters coming for them.
I'd consider ensuring American access to cutting edge chips for our most important and profitable industries, as well as being a strategic bulwark in China's backyard, to be far more valuable than anything the EU offers.
 
It was more than a nasty cold.
It was more than a cold but the virus didn't shut down businesses deemed unworthy, enforce lockdowns, force people to wear useless articles of clothing under penalty of law, fill you with sketchy retard-juice, pull off the largest transfer of wealth from the working middle class to the elite in human history, or run 24/7 psy-ops.
All that was governments, all of it, and blaming the virus neglects the actual monsters who did that to us. And they made the fucking virus so either way that's who I blame and who everyone should blame because they did that shit.

So apparently the UK has this in the general area figures like the queen live in which are always vacant and just used for money laundering through property. I have to wonder how much of that happens in our capitol.
 
We won't stop funding Taiwan's defense as long as TSMC can produce the latest chip silicon in Taiwan.
If the US manages to get ahead of the curve, then Taiwan becomes less technologically important. I'll always buy Ducky keyboards, though.

These are all very valid points - and you're right about Taiwan being useful military real estate - but I don't think you can compare the USA's second-largest trading "group" (the EU plus the UK) to Taiwan in terms of importance. If the US manages to produce better semiconductors (and I admit that's a big if), what does that mean for Taiwan? I doubt we'll fuck off and leave them to their own devices given our (at this point) long diplomatic relationship, but it's a question I'm interested in asking.
