This shit is literally what happens every single time America has a shortage of some resource.

Not enough of this thing?

Something happens to make us have that thing, either we fucking find it or an act of god gives it to us.

I fucking love my country so goddamn much.

Wasn't there some previous discussion about there not needing to be a government shutdown, even in absence of a budget? I forget the specifics, but the gist was that the president could allow government employees to remain at work and performing their functions until a budget could be passed. Apparently this was the standard practice throughout history until some President used the move as a way of creating publicity and negative press against the Congress.

Assuming this is true, and Trump need not shut down the government, I think this would be the perfect outcome for him. Federal employees who are worth a damn or actually devoted to their country will likely remain at work. The vast majority of them don't need to be there for the cogs to turn and important functions to be fulfilled and it makes it so much easier to get Congress to cut later when you can point to the fact that things were running fine despite the supposed problems it would create.

Please Democrats, don't throw President Trump into the briar patch.

that was my post. TLDR is that until the carter years government shutdowns as we know them did not happen. it was a part of a way for Carter to get some leverage over congress to get what he wanted so he ordered a shutdown to inflict pain on the voter. its all based on a memo from the then attorney general, not any law or court precedent.

People shill for Massie because he's "principled" against Israel and foreign lobbying but Massie supported the extremely Zionist DeSantis for president after DeSantis signed a law restricting antisemitic speech while visiting Israel. Massie's campaign also took 13k from Zionist Jeffrey Yass's company Susquehanna International Group.

Fan a Massie, am disappointed in his grandstanding still not willing to throw all the good he represents out with the bathwater. I do find this action in particular short sided.

I think it's retarded to criticize Massie over passing no bills when one of his main interests is reducing the size of government and he is an outsider anti establishment figure so hard for him to build a coalition large enough to pass a bill reducing gov.

Second I think until the 2024 election cycle it was very difficult for your normie American and that includes the majority of GOP officials to accept that an election could be rigged as hard as the 2020 election was.

The squad has some good populist policies like trying to eliminate insider trading in congress on stocks. Just because the people are stupid and insipid does mean that cant be right on an issue every once in a while.

Lot of people like to argue that DX is supposedly a left-wing game too, which is a fucking comical stance to take considering MJ12 is pretty much a faction-sized avatar of 'globalist totalitarianism bad' while the NSF is explicitly shown to be of a fervently libertarian, pro-2nd Amendment and Christian persuasion throughout the first 1/3 of the game.

the mistake you've made here is assuming these troglodytes would play deus ex at all. they've seen the highlight clips of denton's VA not having the voice edited correctly, or reading a line weirdly, or that one singular moment at the start of the game with the stats about income tax (which they think are about communism, but are actually libertarian).

Inflation make line go up. If sales go down, make profit go up. This is what every company on the planet has been doing. They don't care if that profit has any sustainability. They don't care if that line go up crashes the company 2 years later. They do not give a rats anus if you can afford their product or not.

You can see the real world version of this happen with most of the tech sector and silicon valley darlings. Nvidia is massively overvalued to a point where they had to split the stock damn near twice thanks to having their fingers in the AI pie, and their last 3x-4x-5x product line launches they put like 3 on the shelf in an entire city or county and don't actually post sales figures and MSRP is a myth as it is being scalped direct from the vendor day one on amazon.

A margin of fucking error amount of people in hardware census and steam auto reporting have a 4090 even after all this time since launch despite it being a damn near iconic flagship product in every other metric. We can't even cite "price" as a problem since apple shit and overpriced other luxury tech can still move.

Despite being the only GPU game in town for most people, most of their wealth is not selling a product to people or consumers, it's investor money and big promises with their only tangible income of merit after the great covid crypto coof boom is selling workstation cards and 4090s en masse direct to enterprise tech outlets, vfx studios, academia, and supplying chinese AI horse shit firms. That's one of their only concrete worth driver, the rest is all investor hype being the only game in town for a buzzwordy tech.

Also dislike the matter all you want even if the whitest african is somehow doing a few good things to a great surprise, Tesla is sort of the same thing. Less total vehicles sold in an operation lifetime than one month of lagging ford sales and ford motors is under 10 bucks a unit and Tesla's has been in the hundreds for years despite not making their money selling electric vehicles. Because they're a post i-phone "Apple" style company.

They aren't particularly selling a product, the product is just there at this point for legitimacy. They're selling mutual promises of wealth and being in on the money pile imo.

"Post Consumer" is a very tangible thing and we've been flirting with that shit for way too long.

Yeah generally. I just seem to like Russian vodkas better. Winter wheat and rye.


The English are the primary reason why The United States has not been able to properly communicate and resolve issues with Russia going on 100 years.

For more modern examples: the Steele dossier was entirely concocted and laundered through British intelligence.

Watch the Joe Rogan podcast with the dude talking about USAID. He was on before all this came out then Joe begged him to come back once it all hit the news. Dude sounded like an insane skitzo the first show with Joe Rogan remaining skeptical. The second show Joe mind is blown but focus more on the already revealed.

He said that we have always used these "soft power tactics" agaisnt everyone else. The different was that Obama decided that conservatives in our country were a threat and opened the floodgates for these same CIA tactics to be used in the United States. Its not just Guatemala Transgendr comics. It is the marvel films and all the gamergate bullshit too. Disney is a glowie company it's likely the accusation of star wars was for manipulating purposes and funded by tax payers.

This also opened the floodgates for the five eyes to use these tactics and run operations in the united states agaisnt conservatives. Previously only mossed would run operations agaisnt US citizens within the United States. (Russia and China are not our allies and of course run ops like it's water).
