What world do they live in?

I think if they saw some of the celebrating in this thread, DAILY, they might have a conniption fit
That's Pizzacake, she has a thread here.

She's in her 40s and has a terminal case of TDS despite being a Canadian.

Also cucks her husband, draws weird porn comics of herself, and is an onlyfans whore, among other things.
 
Great thread from an arms dealer on the implications of lifting import restrictions on Russia:

It's long but very informative. Make SVD Dragunov's cheap again!
Dragunovs are expensive even for Russians. American guns are awesome. Look, we all like the bizarre chic Soviet aesthetics, like dang why do even their camo patterns seem exotic and naughty, but for real. America is the best at guns
 
I've been doing some reading and it seems like Trump is following Moldbug/Curtis Yarvins map of how to do things almost to the letter

Yarvin advocates RAGE (Retire All Government Employees), Trump implements DOGE
Yarvin advocates expanding the power of the executive, Trump is doing that

Yarvin was invited to the Inauguration Ball and Vance has cited him as an influence


i cannot wait to look in history books and see this

He makes good points. More choice is always better.
 
Ain't it though? As I said, I thought we were all about freedom of choice here.
Not with shit you’re taking from other people.

Like I said earlier, I made one dollar an hour too much to qualify for food assistance with one income and three kids in 2024.

If you made one dollar an hour less than me, you suddenly gain a benefit of close to $1,000 a month, and I have to help pay for it

So don’t talk about your freedom with other people’s money

The Yarvin/Thiel/Vance/Trump connection is a rather fascinating thing to think about.
 
1 the $5000 is already existing money and we wouldn't print now money

Money doesn't cause inflation by sitting as an entry in a book somewhere. It causes inflation by getting spent on goods & services.

same, pay down my cc and build a nice new pc, this one i have is almost a decade old and it's limping along. Maybe drop a little for a vacation for the folks.

If every gamer in America suddenly has five grand burning a hole in his pocket, it won't cause manufacturing capacity to increase 100x. The nice $1500 machine you're thinking about will just cost $3000. Same with vacations. Printing money and handing it out won't expand America's beaches or make Disney World bigger. Everywhere will just start charging a lot more as reservations start getting booked up.

I hope everyone's buckled in for a lot of inflation, because that's what's going to happen if all DOGE is going to do with that $1.8T deficit is, instead of reducing it, start writing checks to everyone to spend on goodies.

This isn’t really black and white.

That money sitting there is going into all sorts of calculations. It doesn’t materialize into inflation just because a pleb touched it, when it was already figured into bond ratings and interest rates and all the macro shit.

It’s circulation would make inflation more visible on the micro scale, primarily by increasing your willingness to spend it by virtue of having it

I havent completed my readings but based off what I read, MAGA and NRx go together hand in hand. Both advocate for an isolationist America, NRx just takes it further into becoming a technocratic society where the President has absolute power and relies on a technocracy.

Seems like we have the choice of the Trump/Yarvin technocracy or the Cathedral's technocracy

Found this post and it gives me pause. I know Trump is an Israeli boomer shill but is Putin really going to abandon Iran for some Ukraine land?
It's certainly an interesting idea. It's not abandoning Iran, but it is a short term fucking. Putin's long term plan is total control of Ukraine and a peace deal would help Russia by freezing the line while they reconstitute and reformulate. Would he be willing to put this kind of pressure on BRICS to get to be able to call a timeout in Europe? Maybe.
 
It’s retarded, sure. Anyone financially competent would say “um, pay some debt, bro?”

But this sets it up so that the evil democrats don’t want us to have our own money, they want to give it to Peruvian trannies to show kids the stumps where their dicks used to be. But we could have our own money if the evil democrats stopped fighting the president

I don't want to have double digit inflation in a way that owns the libs. I want to stop seeing my income decrease 15% every year in real terms.

I don’t think we’re getting $5,000. As I said in a different post where I was not shit talking some angry euro, I think this is being floated to frame the debate with democrats.

Would you rather a Peruvian tranny have $5k, or would you rather keep it?

You need something more solid than Elon saying “lol we should” before thinking your actually getting money

Not necessarily. If the pre-DOGE government would have spent $500 billion in the US domestic economy and instead the post-DOGE government gives that same $ to taxpayers to spend as they see fit (while of course not still spending the original $ anyway) the net effect on inflation should be 0, no?
