Energy use is a fallacious argument. You have the same problem with every single currency.
How much oil did we have to burn to smelt gold coins? Print semi-paper cash? The chickens you traded for the pork?
All of them have an energy cost.
I can't find it now, but after the shooting, someone posted a military plane landing in Uvalde 10 minutes before the shooting started and taking off 5 minutes before it ended.
At the time, I thought it sounded like an extraction with a cover story.
WARNING: NOT TO BE TAKEN ORALLY
Their system's problems are. ..them. No system is perfect, but Ill let the money wonks go over the specific pros and cons of any particular system. Just note that even a fiat system left to its own devices and the general capitalist market will find a state that functions well for the system.
They create laws that manipulate the system for their own gain and then snap the rubber band when its most advantageous to their power or money plays.
The boom and bust roller coaster with ever heightening busts is by design so that they can put their next level of control on you. They are still in charge when its over (more so!) and they still control the government workers, so who really suffers?
Only us. The Theys get what they want and walk away without a scratch.
I dunno....the thought that occurs to me is that this was a black hat play thats getting countered.
My thought process goes thus: BHs want to fold the world through a reset where they are the power structure. If they do that in quick order, people will seceed from their power structure in ways that will cause the whole thing to teeter and maybe collapse further than they want to go. No one wants power oflver rubble, they need those souls to sell.
What's the tried and true method to get control of people? Through their money. What does a systematic nationalization of banks do? Give them direct control over your money.
After these couple of small test banks, they'll hit the big four that most people have their money at ard" against "Russian terrorism" they'll implement CBDC. And everyone will follow them because their net worth is now under their control.
The initial or of step announcements about the failure (no bailoits, etc) were this plan and then the narrative jumped. We are totes fully bailing everyone out.
Its beyond that. CO2 makes plants utilize water and nutrients more efficiently. It is causing the greening of the deserts. The low levels we were at in the little ice age was bordering on gaian collapse - had the natural processes that control CO2 presence in the atmosphere continued to be a net negative for another 50-100 years, we wouldnt have been able to grow enough to eat. Natural plants would have all-but died out, which would have decimated all the complex animals on the food chain.
Here we are, scarcely 2.5x above the catastrophe line and at 0.1x of the level it has been in earths past and the "experts" bible thump that we are all going to die - while doing everything they possibly could to ruin anyone who dared bring up facts to challenge them with.
Thats because people dont realize what high functioning autism is. It has been lumped together with several disorders to obfuscate what people have. Disorders like Aspergers and the 'media' autism where you can't interact with the world aren't part of a spectrum, but it makes it easier to have a treatment if you can lump them in, no?
The 'high-functioning' autistic individual is delayed in several fronts of cognitive processing. When you speak to a 16 year old, they process as a 12 year old at best and a 6 year old at worst. 6 to 12 is when you are normally experimenting with gender, e.g. kids dress up as the opposite sex or take the first grade school boy/girlfriend. They get feedback from their peers and they normalize to a status somewhere along the 'normal' wavelength.
Now that same 16 year old didnt do any of that. They have no concept of what it means to be a gender and their peers have all moved on. This wasn't unknown, it was called 'late blooming' in the olden times. One or two in a normal peer setting get straightened out eventually.
But now, they either latch onto others in their same boat where they encourage but dont normalize the gender play, or they get co-opted by broken adults with broken ideals.
In the previous eras, this woulf work itself out as they get experience. 26...30 years old, somewhere in there.
Now....it becomes tragedy. The broken ideals of the broken adults lead so many in the the trans community into suicide. They were promised that the surgical act was pinnacle, that they would finally 'feel' like what they were told everyone else 'feels'. And then they wake up feeling less like anything, more alien than ever.
Sorta. You sign a contrqct for a vehicle because you need one. You dont go all out, somehow you manage to pick one up for 25k in todays market.
Next year, Biden craters your industry. You have to start over in a new career. You still need a vehicle to start out in yiur new career, but between life hold bills like rent and food and utilities, you cant make full payments until you get your footing back.
Before, you could goose six months and pay what you can when you can and then get it back on track.
Now, your car drives down the street at midnight 31 days after your last payment and you mever see it again because they will only accept 2x car payments plus tow fee for its return.
No new job for you, scrub. You had the audacity to exist where politicians wanted to make money. Better luck working with the meth addicts at KFC for 3 hours a week at minimum wage.
This is closing the door on the cage built around us by the elite, meant to trap people eternally into eating cheap bugs and living in Section 8 housing.
To be fair, most parents aren't worth trusting anymore. The ones raised people to be mentally ill, who then had kids who then had kids. "Returning" will require more than educational reform.
And the switch to digital temperature readings from mercury also added warming to the signal mix.
Its deeper than journalists. Journalists dont matter. We are the news.
No Ukrainians post anything, either.
Realize that this isnt jungles. Wheat fields. Prarie. Its cities separated by a few dozen miles of farms. This is like having a foreign army in New York marching towards Philadelphia and no one taking pictures, trying to talk to their kids/relatives in new york, or fleeing people asking for help.
Some people complained including an allegation that he once stole a sandwich from a pregnant woman?
With this one particular complaint being what they pulled out to report on, what were the other complaints from the 16 people? If this is the highlight, its a bullshit letter of complaint.
Ive been kind of wondering about all of these....'accidents' and the lack of response.
Normal cycle is incident, media blitz, ds 'solution' that checks their goal, rinse lather, repeat.
I keep seeing incidents and none of them take hold in the media. Is this a flurry of attempts by the DS to get back narrative control?
We do exactly what you claim to want.
There is not a single main street in a metropolis, there are dozens to hundreds, depending on your metropolis.
The only way to make sprawl stop is genocide or hell hole high rise.
Go to Taiwan or Beijing to see the result of your thinking.
People asked for this because people want to own property, not condos. No one wants to be packed like a sardine to satisfy the pride of a city planner who ignores the inherent problems of his grand master plan.
Because you are getting rid of people to make the town compact. Farmers have to get to town to trade. Workers have to either get to their jobs or be shoveled into vertical apartments just so that it stays compact.
And, at a certain threshold of population, this has to expand in size just to manage the population flow through the market area.
I didnt say 'sprawl is so great'. I said, paraphrasing, that you have an ideal that you are ignoring real problems about because you prefer it.
So, how have I gotten it wrong? I explained in general detail how our forefathers operated. You pretend to be an authority, but instead demonstrat poor critical thinking skills backed by nothing but teenager level insults.
"Walkable small town neighborhoods" are either urban hell holes or sprawl. Our forefathers didnt have that, they had a main street that everyone would horse and later drive into where they could walk around, but they lived away from main street. First in farms, then in suburban homes, then in urban high density housing. Housing was always located away from shopping and industry.
You are quite obviously thinking with rose tinted glasses.
And yet, you dont take into account how many more schools and big box retailers will need to be built and how many more bodies will need to be stuffed into each 15 minute zone to make paying for that added infrastructure, without debt, feasible.
Go look at the megacities in fiction like Judge Dredd. Thats what you are advocating for. High crime, distopian, state above all else.
Kids in suburbia can usually access jobs - if their parents will let them. Unfortunately, the media has convinced everyone that not having your children in line of sight is bad.
This is the normal (well, one of the normal) ways to produce vaccines. Basically, thr mRNA bull spit wasnt needed at all.
Go figure.
Right, which means we let them keep on going throigh hell.
I understand and agree with your analysis, but i think we are leaving a key peice out. They found themselves in their bad place because they didnt pay the price. Its always hard, but we need people to realize that the cost of freedom is their eternal vigilance against all usurpations.
If the awakening doesnt pound this into their heads, they will again wearily trust everyone who selles what sounds right, and we'll be back here inside a generation.
Evidence presented in this paper: Post hoc, ergo propter hoc.
Not science or credible anecdote.
Because "free energy" doesn't mean anything. You cant grow bananas with it. You can't use it to make anything - you can power the prodution, but that needs intelligence.
Free energy is a pointless addition to the mix u til that free energy means post scarcity.
