Couldn’t be climate change.

This is why I only sniff correction fluid.

he can only debate a dementia patient.

I think all the people working at the weapons factories could be put into better use like building high speed rail.

The liberals argue the MIC is a good way to stimulate the economy when in reality American military spending mostly ends up in financial markets not being used for anything productive. A small bit of it maybe ends up in the hands of people working in the factories (who then spend it on goods and services etc) but that is nothing.

This is a good article on military spending

yea and they froze Russian foreign reserves (which are in U.S. Treasuries or EU bonds), pretended that it was being used to ‘fund’ ‘aid’ to Ukraine by using it as collateral for a ‘loan’ from the IMF/World Bank. How did IMF/World Bank acquire the Dollars, I wonder who gave it to them.

Obamna

I think he should be sent to gulag not just because he is a fraudster and possibly a r*pist but just to derpive him of internet access. It’ll be better for him and the society.

like the Faux news reading the Soviet constitution

i hate the narrative that implies you can only protest Israel’s actions if you are an American taxpayer because ‘taxpayers are funding Israel’ or something. Its so annoying. Almost every American (other than maybe those living in the caves ) contribute to the American economy and war machine either with the work they do or with their consumption or both. Even those who are on welfare and get more from the Government than they pay in taxes contribute to the output with their consumption.

Wheels on the stonks go round and round

It’s so stupid. If America (or Britain) is a “rich” nation no one would have to go to the “poor” nations for affordable Healthcare and education.

You are unlikely to see the billionaires going to some private hospital in India for a heart surgery, the type of westerners who go to global south countries with private Healthcare disparity are the “middle-class”, those who have enough money and time to travel but not enough to afford the expensive domestic Healthcare.

true, but wechat is just an intermediary. you have to load money into your wechat wallet from your bank. when you deposit/withdraw from wechat to your bank the settlement and clearing is done by state run corporations like UnionPay.

he is doing the opposite of mewing

I think it’s in part due to the US not having a good payments system. Debit and credit cards have processing fees too.

Other countries have atleast partly state run payments system competing with private companies. EU has SEPA, Russia has SBP, China has UnionPay etc…

Edit: Fun fact, before the Federal Reserve system in the US, checks issued by one bank usually couldn’t be cashed at par at another because the banks didnt trust one another. So if you write a check on your account at Bank A and cash it at Bank B you might only get 80%.
