I just wanna know which amazing video game innovations We are protecting here in America. Are we talking about the failing franchises that have been milking their customers for 15 years? Have we done anything really innovative recently? Remakes delayed games and flops.
Do we enjoy the premise of capitalism where businesses compete to make the best and cheapest product for the consumer?
Yes. Yes we did up until a few months ago.
Idk how many people have died from Covid 19 vax? I keep taking it and my cock is huge, no other side effects
I mean Gates donated his own money to help the poorest people in the world. Elon spent his money to become president so he could steal money from the poor at people in the world.
Wow you mean reddit is banning real users and replacing them with bots???
The tobacco industry was monopoly busted, and heavily regulated for 30 years. That’s the point. Yes they still exist, but not like they did in 1970. We should do that to social media. It’s crazy how you missed that point yet harp about intelligence.
You guys are prepping for Jupiter to become a second sun? That’s hard fucking core man!
Eh we’re already seeing massive drops in skilled labor. The political environment will create food scarcity in 12 months. It’s already paying to be able to fix your home and car. Can’t imagine what next year will bring. Probably unemployment for many.
All very fair points. Thank you for adding some color and context.
I spent my days in museums and spent my nights drinking at dodgy bars talking to people about all sorts of things. I don’t really set out to meet any types of people but I met all types in Japan. Got very drunk with a heart surgeon in Kagoshima. You guys are not politically outspoken so I wouldn’t assume anyone’s politics. Most of the conversations were around Japanese history, American culture and food.
I spent about 3 months traveling between Tokyo and Kagoshima. Even made it to Okinawa and that small island south of Kagoshima. I really appreciate the hospitality that was extended to me the whole time I was there. You guys are truly wonderful nation full of beautiful people history and scenery. Did not meet a single anarchist there, except maybe a French traveler I spent a lot of time drinking with.
Sorry for assuming you were a weeb that was very rude. I also did not know they were Japanese anarchist so that is an exciting revelation. Carry-on brother. That must be a true oddity in your culture.
Ya, I know. I’ve just never been able to join you in the presumption that law can exist without a state. That’s where property rights come from. That’s where the mediums of exchange come from. At the end of the day someone’s in charge of making rules and enforcing them. At the family level up to a national level; and perhaps even a global level. I admire programs like USaid and see the value of governments. If there ever was a time to gain support for those ideas it would be now. I just want the government I had 4 months ago to come back.
No lol, just knew lots of Anarchists and communists growing up. Oh and the ‘Fight a Tyranical Government’ Libertarians. What are you guys up to these days? You seen the other two around?
Yea it basically requires that you are either a bad actor pretending this is true, or a basement dweller who choses to believe this is true. They have no idea the kind of assholes you meet traversing society, or they are the assholes. The 5 million people in Manhattan are just not going to live peacefully without law and order. Be fun to watch tho.
Bro you already have anarchy, trump has turned the USA into a lawless place. This is it chief. Enjoy.
Yea time to fill up the garage with portable generators and nintendo switch
Yea i guess the most simple explanation, that is most coherent with the rest of the administration’s actions, is that it’s just a mob style shake down of every major economic player. Pure extortion as the japanese said.
But ya its funny to see the SEC and DOJ neutered and then actually used against big tech. Ironic and poetic, and fucking stupid. It really burns at the senses, and creates confusion.
Absolutely. As an investor and enjoyer of US markets and economy, I am truly terrified at the ramifications of all this. No safe harbors left to hide in and it appears to be hit the economy with a wrecking ball, and funnel the remaining funds to elon. I’m not so interested in US markets anymore and i can imagine this will have a lasting effect on investor confidence and companies bottom line.
What confuses me is if you steal all the money and destroy the stock market and USD in the process, what do you even do with the stolen wealth?
