Hardcore troubadour 12,403 Posted January 10, 2021 This is soft tyranny at the hands of big tech. And people here are defending it, some like Rusty cheering it on. Trump is less of a problem than what his presence has exposed. Trump isn’t making them behave like this. America is not in a good place and it’s not all the rights fault. The right has no power, at all levels. Not even the Supreme Court, with 6 “conservatives”. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If push comes to shove becomes real, I hope so. Its not just Big Tech. It’s the media, the university/school system, Hollywood and other entertainment. Recently they added corporate power and soon the executive and legislative branches of the federal government. The squeeze is on, its coming from all sides, and this is already happening before they have Biden* installed in the White House. The people do have the guns though as you say. It appalls me that I’m finding myself typing riversco sentiment in my posts. The pressure and rhetoric is not being relieved it is being amped up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

easilyscan 545 Posted January 11, 2021 19 hours ago, JustinCharge said: In the end, liberalism will collapse because they have pissed absolutely everyone off. God how I wish I could agree with that. Unfortunately, I think it's the opposite. How else could you explain the fact that, at least for a while, people like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren were serious contenders ? 44.00% of those who filed a tax return in 2018, got back as much or more than they paid in federal taxes. (I realize a significant % of that is the elderly, and the disabled) I live in an allegedly thriving town in Southcentral Minnesota. Why is it that the hottest real estate sector for at least 10 years now is low income, a.k.a. affordable housing ? It's the same in Minneapolis St. Paul and other large cities in the state. I have to believe it's the same in cities across the US. All the people that are taking advantage of this, will now be fans of Liberalism/Socialism. I think Minnesota is a bit unique, because we are forced to absorb a completely disproportionate % of the legal immigrants that are brought to the US. No problem with legal immigrants, but it's not fair that one state should have to absorb such a disproportionate number. The worst part is how they lie about the financial impact, & make it impossible for someone to find out the truth. The state admits investing $110,000.00 in each immigrant, & claims that after 20 years, they've paid all that back +20 K. A bigger load of BS I've never heard in my life. The last time I debated someone about it, I closed my argument with this. If these immigrants are such a financial windfall to any state that absorbs them, why haven't the states who import a disproportionately low number ever complained ? I imagine the 44.00% rate I mentioned above, will rise substantially for tax year 2020. What if Biden and Kamala succeed in eliminating student loan debt. This will certainly upset those who worked hard & paid off their debt, but I'm sure it will be a net gain because of all those who didn't, & will now be fans. A country that consumes so much, but actually makes so few of the things we use on a daily basis, will crater at some point. When the subject of debt comes up, you'll hear a figure of around 30 trillion. That's not even close. If you add in the unfunded liabilities from Social Security and Medicare, it's a minimum of 70 trillion, & possibly close to 100 trillion. People get desensitized by these figures. I decided to break it down and try to explain it in such a way that it would give people an idea of how staggering that amount is. I figured real debt was 70 trillion. Here's how it would work out if the US decided to finally take it seriously. Starting on January 1, 2022 the US did the following (based on 70 trillion) Tell present debt holders, they'll no longer be receiving any interest. From that point forward, they would only spend as much as they brought in. They'd set aside $1 million per day for debt. At one million per day, it would take approximately 200,000 years to pay it off. I know what some of you are thinking right now. This guy is a nut job, I'm doing great, how can things be that bad ? I can certainly understand that. I'm doing better than I ever dreamed. I retired over 5 years ago at age 53, & I've made so much !@#$ing money in the past 2 years, I literally have to pinch myself when I look at my Fidelity account. Bought a meager 20 shares of Tesla in May 2019 @ total cost of approximately $4,500.00, as a Fridays close, shares are worth $88,000.00 But it's not about me. I'm in a small small minority that have been blessed. A country can't survive when its spent the last 40+ years exporting high-paying productive jobs, & importing poor, non-English speaking people. What's Biden's solution, open the borders completely. War pulled us out of the great depression, because we made so many things here. We 'were' an industrial nation. In 2021, we're a service economy dominated by the healthcare industry. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
