Yeah. I don’t disagree that the transition would be rough, that there would be a reactionary tide against it. I just also think that there’s a very real underclass in a precarious position, regardless of the larger income compared to worldwide averages, simply because the base costs of living are also inflated.

I think even with a massive re-evaluation of the dollar, that living standards could still increase for a lot of Americans. A large part of the domestic economy is based around the financialization of critical needs, like healthcare and housing, with prices grossly inflated.

Even if things generally get more expensive, so much would be improved for so many people with just guaranteed housing and the ability to go to a doctor. I don’t think the impact of that can be overstated.

It’s worse, in my opinion. Landmines are fixed in place. Warnings can be put to deter people from approaching. This entirely uncontrolled, random.

It’s really convenient when you train on that same media class as examples of unbiased reporting

When that child is brought up, the demons start talking about how the ratio “isn’t that bad actually, surgical really”, both downplaying the death of a child and immediately assuming none of the thousands of other victims aren’t children as well.

The fucking animals in cheering this on are making me fucking furious. Even if you accept he base idea that Hezbollah is a terrorist org, and that Israel is justified in attacking them (Which I don’t), it’s fucking absurd to think that all of these explosions only harmed “terrorists”. So many people were harmed here, and likely many more will die. Thousands were harmed by this, people just guilty of holding on to a communication device. This is such a disgusting action.

Well, considering his most recent dream ticket was Vivek/Haley

There’s competing factions in the US deep state right now. Some more invested in US hegemony are trying to force reindustrialization because they are starting to realize that finance capital has been eating away at the core productive forces required to project real military power abroad. Other factions resist this, as it cuts into the immediate profit margins, and so they awkwardly fight.

If you’re meaning understanding in the sense of “Why is the Universe like this?” sure, that’s an open question, but it’s actually very well documented in terms of behavior and dynamics, at least in the scope used for stuff like quantum computers.
