I'd rather have dangerous research done in Alaska or somewhere far away from people, and completely run by Americans. Rather than the one of the only places more corrupt than America. With Millions of people crammed into cities, to boot. Whoever thought that doing this kind of research in China was a good idea is fucking retarded.
That’s why I’m convinced China bought off people. Remember, we also found out they essentially controlled the WHO.

And it’s not just about having a place to do research without oversight. We TAUGHT THEM SERIAL PASSAGE.

Here’s a thought experiment. What would the affect of Trump’s tariffs be on the market if nobody sold? What’s the mechanism to adjust value outside of supply and demand?

I asked grok to make sure:

If absolutely no one bought or sold stocks for a month—meaning zero trading activity—stock prices as reflected on exchanges would technically remain frozen at their last traded values. Prices only update when transactions occur, so without trades, the ticker wouldn’t move in real-time.

How fucking stupid is it, when you think about it? It’s a market that doesn’t do anything until perception convinces people to do it to themselves

Rmember when we told people to not invest lightly in the stock market, because the market is volatile? I think about thar everytime I hear the "X in the stock market is RUINING retirement funds!!!" like during the gamestop days.

Like, nigga, isn't that your fault? You should have diversified into some safer, but lower paying investments but instead you put everything onto the holy line. I really hope this person is one of those "THE RICH PEOPLE ARE EVIL REVOLUTION NOW" commies because that would be too fucking funny.
these people don’t want a revolution they just want to larp as a revolutionary.
 
How do you support both drastic economic interventionism on the national economy, and also be against Central Planning?, because right now, what Trump is doing isn't exactly "free market" economics.
I refuse to use the Lord's name in vain/repeatx3

National security demands we secure our supply lines(see: Covid economic disruption) as we are still dealing with the aftershocks(those are the random holes on store shelves) of Xi's Zero Covid policy on our supply chain. Control of international trade isn't classed as part of the domestic economy, and never has been. It effects the domestic economy as a second order effect, not a primary one.

National tactical strategy in international trade, has never been "Central Planning" in the economic sense.
I expect the government doing this to not be retarded and make this worse for every one of us, you can't just pray everything works out in the end.
Yeah, that's why we're not going to tell the sharks how to do it, when they already did it(see: US markets fluctuations this week).
 
I wish Michael Crichton was still alive to see this unfold and comment on it. He would’ve made a lot of enemies lol.

It's probably bes t that Crichton died when he did because he would have been ultra mega cancelled in current year, He was already pissing people off for calling out climate change back in the mid 2000s
 
Setting aside agendas, Audrey Hale was primarily a retard who suffered from the worst possible fate a female could: lack of attention.

She got a crush on a black teammate from middle school basketball because the black girl defended her from a bully. The black girl basketball player was the most masculine person in her life to show anything that could be misconstrued as affection, scrambling her retarded brain.

This black girl got a boyfriend in highschool and this destroyed Audrey Hale’s life in her own mind.

All of the ideology is downstream from these key events. It was her justifying her feelings retroactively

The black basketball American was the person she last Facebook messaged before going toddler hunting. All of this could’ve been avoided if one selfish person somewhere could’ve given her just a taste of the dick
This person was just crazy. Have you seen my show? I get rejected all the time, but it never made me troon out.
Don't believe what """journalists""" tell you.
I would believe literally anyone in this thread before I believed any "journalist." The profession has been taken over by communists.
China is reportedly censoring mentions of the term 104% on their social media.
Please provide evidence of this and archive it - not that I doubt you, but I want to see it and laugh at it.

This is correct, but I referenced the most recent major biosecurity leak. I was not saying that there haven't been massive fuck-ups by the US, but rather that they're increasingly rare. Before that, the most major and serious public fuck-ups were the anthrax scares, which were the result of domestic terrorism rather than a simple leak. Bruce Edwards Ivins was mad that his research funding got cut. God knows what Fauci would have done had he not gotten his little China lab...

Lyme Disease is a bitch, but you really only get it if you're an idiot and don't check for ticks. If you remove a tick within 24 hours and don't do something retarded like try to light the thing on fire, you won't get Lyme Disease. I know this from getting countless ticks and never contracting Lyme Disease.

I agree with this 100%.
 
You are making the same mistake that Washington people make, which is to think there's always some higher authority that must be convinced and from which consequences come. There isn't. If China decides (rightly in this hypothetical) that the USA is to blame for the disaster, that's it.

I worry that many in the West are so used to everything being about proving who is right or wrong, from their first days at school, that they're unprepared for situations where it doesn't matter.
Niggas thinking legalistically, not understanding the jury is one guy with nukes.

The biggest mystery for me was the videos out of China of people falling over dead in the streets. I suspect they were fake but why? The other possibility is that it actually was really deadly but that ends up for selection and mutation towards a less deadly strain very quickly. Perhaps the chings took a bullet for us by dying from the deadly mutations too quickly to spread the particularly deadly strains. If this was the case a major concern would be that China likely has samples of that variant and may be replicating large stockpiles of it.
 
Basically the banks just started handing out loans to every nog and spic who walked in the door knowing that they couldn't afford it because the banks wanted the property. Most of these people defaulted by the 2nd payment and the banks took their houses. This is how, when you look up at how much property banks own, it's staggering. It was all a plan to transfer assets to banks.
dude i love your posts but this is forest for the trees take. The loans were handed out to everyone because everybody was flipping loans and it wasnt just "dur dur we love niggers"

here a dude that did 55 million dollars in fraud explaining his life story about how he did it.

 
I would like America much more if their government didn't consistently simp and suck off billionaires, CEOs, and capital owners.

Even right now, Republicans are working on a tax bill to give huge tax breaks for the wealthy while doing little to nothing for the regular person. I can't really be mad at a random Chinese person when these greedy rich faggots have a greater effect on my life.
 
Can't wait for a blue wave that lasts decades because instead of just lowering the barriers to entry in the US economy, Trump went on a full retard war with the world economy.
"Don't ever do anything because someone might be upset about it". It's literally how we have lived the past three fucking decades, if not more and look where that has gotten us.

"Lowering the barriers" do you realize who you are competing against? Literal ant people who are part of a government who will grind them to dust if that means getting the product done. It will be impossible to convince anyone of doing anything as long as the you are able to fill factories full of pajeets and chinks working to the death for a pittance.

I can't imagine one or two more decades of this decline, you'll be sharing a pod with your colleagues Han, Xi, Sukhdeep and Jalid.

You're going to be waiting a long time.

How long do we have before some random judge in Berkeley orders Trump to rescind the tarrifs?
The judge should just order the stock market to go back up. It'll do about as much good.

No you don’t understand trump should just let china continue to ass rape America or else they might get upset.
 
Xi is truly retarded. I don’t understand the rationality of doubling down against the very country you export model relies on aside from his thinking process operating on nationalist sentiment instead of logic.
Xi has written explicitly in his political treatises that the way to beat the US is simply time. He knows that presidents change every four years and his plan is to wait out Trump. After Trump leaves office, or maybe even after US midterms (if Trump's plans go awry), China can re-negotiate with better leverage. The gamble from Xi is that Trump's economic plans will fail and the gamble from Trump is that his economic plans will succeed.

The reason why people hate and are scared of Trump in DC is because they know that, at the highest levels of government, the president has the power to make gambles like this. A lot of shit is a judgment call. The deep state doesn't like gambling for a variety of reasons both legitimate and bullshit. They like stability. As much as I like Trump, his plans do have the possibility of failing spectacularly even if everyone is on board with said plans and they all do the right thing.
