As has it matched mine. I am surprised how much more meaning that the bible has, now, that I've matured.
Oh, I didn't misunderstand you at all, fellow Pede, I was expanding on your thought.
As a consequence of its distributed development, Capitalism can be used positively.
As a consequence of its centralized development, Communism produces massive inefficiencies.
I should have better clarified my thoughts :-)
Hmmm... that last one. An eye of Horus?
Lol, the comments are hilarious. "This is like making a 9/11 movie, before the second tower is hit."
Capitalism isn't bad. It uses the desire to compete to bring "the best product to the most people in the most efficient manner." Money is just the cost of doing business.
Communism, OTOH, is used to reward your buddies and friends-who-bribe-you with cushy positions. Those cushy positions just so happen to come with lots of money... which goes back into your pocket.
Yes, it is a self-serving industry that exists to keep disruption out.
When I was in graduate school, I saw some of the brightest and most talented get sidelined by those who were more "productive." While true scientists get excited about innovation, there's no money in the innovations, themselves.
My departure from graduate school came with the knowledge that money runs everything.
And it will be. Look at the GameStop mini-squeeze back in January. The bankers didn't give up, then, and let the public have a small win.
Now the entire economic system is collapsing - with wealth being transferred out.
You got it, Pede.
I've been praying for strength, for all of us, because of how many (I expect) to pass away. Hope for the best, expect the worst, after all.
I don't know what he teaches, but he should look into small liberal arts colleges. While the locations can be more remote, the goal is more often the complete education and intellectual development of the individual. More conservative campuses.
Failing that, sign at the local Christian Science church as a member.
I have always been a fan of fantasy, and so I watched Dr. Strange.
I recall becoming unnerved during the Aramaic chanting & summoning of the dark one. I assumed that the movies were created by the Kabbalistic worshipers to drag us into their framework.
I then watched Captain America, and I felt much more comforted.
Yeah, I work for a Fortune 50 international megacorp. I spend, roughly, eight hours a month on Diversity & Inclusion meetings. About 95% of our newly hired workforce is a minority and/or has a lower IQ.
I don't feel like I'm working towards developing the best product, or that I'm part of the best team. I feel like I'm working for a company that's more concerned about sexual orientation than who're good employees.
Also the increased amount of regulation is overwhelming.
Using the enemy's weapons against them.
Seriously. The ethylene glycol scandal, testing on non-drug ingredients (iron gut crew), thalidomide, and 24h oxycodone.
While they might have started with the best of intentions, the FDA quickly fell from grace.
It's very easy. Follow the money.
I think I'm beginning to notice something.
Along the ocular rim (bones surrounding the eye), there always appears to be a slope from below-the-eye connecting to the bottom-of-the-ear.
Whereas it seems that Christian people have that same slope below-the-eye leading to the top-of-the-ear.
Am I crazy, or is there a difference in facial construction?
Unfortunately, this is true. A majority of people still aren't ready.
My mom and dad, who are firmly in the Trump camp, both took the vaccine. My mom still goes around masks and, is, sadly a mask-hole.
At a group fitness class, last Wednesday, 7/10 participants were angrily speaking about the unvaccinated and the pandemic "that is destroying the economy."
Such good news! I didn't even connect those thoughts, when I realized that BlackRock would own such a large stake in GME.
I feared that they would use their stake to capture the ENTIRE market. However, since that company is involved with foreign powers, the US Government can confiscate their assets!
God Wins!
Could be a swipe at the Jews who have abandoned Moses' law, in favor of the laws of men. Kabbalistic Jews following the Talmud.
Yes, the documentary can be graphic. More than just graphic images, though, are the interviews with the survivors.
Thanks. I did read a bit, after spending some time in the park. I do feel better.
To what quote are you referring? I am not too familiar with Patton, other than he is a classically-educated general, a patriot, and has good morals.
He did make a fairly striking comment about the impending hyperinflation. I found that disconcerting.
He is very bright. I read the whole thing, years ago.
I wonder if there really is a desire for a power process or a desire for purpose?
Oh shoot, just thought of this (after reading your post). What if we're a plague of frogs against the establishment? /pepe
We are everywhere.
While I was travelling home to visit my parents, I saw a motorcycle with punisher skulls on it. Since we were at a stop light, I only had time to say WWG1WGA before we left.
