The Iron Bank funds both sides of every war... "The Iron Bank will have it's Due" If they think the side they support more heavily is going to lose, they will switch to increasing funding to the other side which will have to pay all of the debt.

GOT is very gritty and not for everyone, but George RR Martain is a master storyteller. Being an HBO Tv series they weren't shy showing you gritty subjects.

However, the story shows that there is good and bad in all people.

Since I'm sure liberals are a higher % of the vaccinated than conservatives. I feel it's God's Natural Selection setting in. Oh well. They are helping the overpopulation they so fervently believe in.

People don't realize that while most illegals may be paying taxes, many are not. Corporations love not having to match FICA, Pay Worker's Comp, or unemployment. They love not providing Insurance or any benefits at all.

The Deep State made a large portion of our youth lazy and angry, meanwhile, the jobs they should be working are going to the illegals. Most of the illegals are here to work and they work hard, but they still need to be kicked out.

We will need guest workers not illegals, it will take generations to repair the damage to the segment of American youth they destroyed.

This will be a must watch for me, and I don't watch most of Trump's activities.

I have 2 nieces in the Philippines. Cnit(Nickname) is in her last year of getting a degree in Business. We sponsored her for HS jointly, then I took over when we lived in the Philippines since my wife had no income. I also paid for her first year of nursing school. Then COVID hit and they were teaching via cell phone and I just didn't want to pay for that, a waste of money. I had her test for a school where we were living and they had enough students from the local area to fill the spots, so she wasn't accepted.

The school works way differently there. It's mostly full-time, and they nickel and dime the bill. They let you pay as you go sorta, before each major test you have to pay a portion of the bill or they won't let the student test. The bill ALWAYS creeps up. As an example when she was in HS, there was a Misc and 2 separate charges that were called something else, but were also misc. Then they do field trips that also must be paid that aren't listed. They love to spring all this stuff suddenly, I feel sorry for Filipino families... I of course paid.

So she missed a year of school and when we returned to the USA my wife switched her to business and is paying for that. Education is improving over there, but there are too many extracurricular activities and not enough academics. Really for those planning on working abroad, the school is a waste of time. When living there I met a HS math teacher, he didn't know Middle School math. I asked him what 6 squared was, deer in headlights look, then I asked him what 5 cubed is, deer in headlights look again.

The thing is, people who are intelligent and motivated can teach themselves regardless of the school system. I dropped out at the start of 9th grade, but passed the GED without studying when I was 26, completed a 3-semester vocational electronics course in 2 semesters, and had a 2+2 Honors scholarship, full ride. I didn't complete, I didn't want honors classes, but the school doesn't get the money if they don't have a student who qualifies. I have always hated English, but I can do a bit better than my education has taught me.

Bing Bing the other niece... Before my wife and I met, my wife was sponsoring her for school. Then she got pregnant. Her son was a 6 month old baby when we got married. My wife always displayed anger when talking to me about it. I told Nanay (My wife's mother) who raised the niece to just come to Jek (one of my wife's nicknames) with the baby in arms and it would be alright, it was.

The father of the baby is a seaman working on Cargo ships (he was in school for that at the time) and the Shipping company sends a portion of the salaries home to the wife, or if not married, to the mother. So his Nanay would not let them get married. Bing Bing lived with his family. then about 8 years later had another baby. When that child was almost a year old Bing Bing returned to our province and home. The son went back to his father's family for HS.

The new child, I got to see her take her first steps, and that was so special for me as I have no children. She is the sweetest little girl I have ever seen, I never saw her pitch a fit ever! She is almost 5. Bing Bing ran into a HS classmate at their reunion and got pregnant. Zia was born this past June.

Bing Bing sounds like a slut but she isn't, she has only slept with the 2 fathers of her children. This new baby? Well I'm sure living alone gets lonely. Bing Bing lives in our house with the 2 girls. The seaman sends money for the first girl sometimes. My wife wants money from the father of the second, but he is dirt poor and married with kids. I send Bing Bing a little now and then, but my wife provides for many.

Its heartbreaking how many Filipinas go abroad leaving their children behind in order to put bread on the table. Often Filipino men are raised to be lazy, while the girls are raised to be responsible. My wife's first husband never worked and got shot in front of their son when he was 8. My wife worked in Singapore then Hong Kong as a domestic when her son was 4. After her husband got shot she returned to the Philippines and got a 2 year midwife degree. She was working in Saudi Arabia as a medical nanny when we met online. She worked as a CNA in Fla for 5 years then we moved to the Philippines. Now back in the USA she is working as an EKG tech. making decent money, and working her butt off taking all the overtime she can get to provide for the family back home. Spoiling our granddaughter and the 2 nieces, and a little bit other children in the family.

So Cnit, and Bing Bing would love to come here, but will go anywhere they can earn a living and take my wife's place as provider, I hope. My wife is 55 now and needs to slow down. Her job is all 12 hour shifts. She is upset when she only gets 4 shifts a week.

My last dog was a chow chow, and I bought her from her owner when she was 6 months. She crapped in the house the first day afraid of a new house and new people. She never had an accident after that. I miss her... The only pet I ever paid for. Too tired to share more, but wow, she loved me too and kept scumbags from breaking into my house at night while I was at work.

I had a time bringing my wife here... I married in the Philippines and it took 9 months from filing and a lot of money to assemble the documents, pay immigration fees, and fly her in.

Sad to hear about your family's problem. Lets hope Trump fixes it.

I had Vanguard funds back in the 2000s before the collapse and made a little money, but only had a little money in them. Takes money to make money. I have a safety net, but its not much to brag about, in non-fiat money.

These Multinational corporations are the main impetus. A sole Proprietorship or Partnership is the best form of business. The stock market and corporations are schemes for lazy people who suffer the same problems as the government. I'm not going to look right now, but probably the little guys own most of Vanguard and Blackrock, etc... But a few at the top control them.

For the life of me I can't find a photo, but watch Obama's recent videos. He look like Marshall Applewhite, the Hale Bopp cult leader nut job in videos. If I could just find a photo of Obama with a facial expression like Applewhites'

Prison should be for violence, and they should have a tough hard-working life with the bare minimum of entertainment. If they won't work stop feeding, then they will work.

Yeah, I have plenty of Filipino family who would love to come here the legal way if it wasn't such a pain in the ass. They speak English, are an ex-American territory, and fought with us in all our wars since WW2. Why should the Hispanics get to flood in because they are close by?

Pre-COVID 57% of Illegals were Mexican, and its the 15th largest economy in the world. They used to throw illegals off the trains. from further south to appease America, since there was no incentive.

Corporate America is turning us into a third-world country with all these no-benefit jobs. Many of whom get paid cash so no Payroll taxes for the corporations. In the Philippines a lot of cash workers too and they have no benefits.

As a security guard, I have no benefits except 1.5 for over 40 and for working ON a Holiday.

Less than half the people in the USA have no or almost no benefits now.

These cash workers aren't paying into SS to provide for the retired, like we have been all our lives. It's speeding up the bankruptcy of the SS system.

Corporations as a form of business are evil and need to go.
