You have to compare costs to what a full scale WWIII would cost.
So.. you're suggesting.. that our military aid to the middle east is NOT going to cause WW3? Wat?
$100 B is cheap.
No.. it's not. Given the state of this country and what we need here and the fact we are not getting it. It's not just the money it's all the things we're getting short changed on, it's the inflation you and your children and their children are going to have to endure.
For a political move? That could have been done in any number of other ways? All Trump had to say is "Johnson is a sissy" and that would have been the end of that man's political career. He didn't do that. He's simply not a skilled political operative. Business skills don't translate.
which is concerning in the death rates
https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/USA/united-states/death-rate
I'm not concerned. Projections are just that. The total rate change is minuscule.
Consider that as the gap increases between death rate and birth rate
https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/USA/united-states/birth-rate
It's approaching 1:1 and projected to remain there for a long time. Looks juiced up to me.
will eventually start shifting to people who aren't native to the region.
Why would this happen? There's a lot of low quality homes. We could just demolish those. If you don't let non natives in then this is probably what you would do. Anyways.. 1:1 is a likely steady state.
that foreign population becomes a greater and greater force
Right.. so acknowledge the "population growth problem" is largely made up and stop admitting them in. Why is any of this a problem?
I don't trust their numbers. I also don't buy that "collapse" is imminent with the unemployment rate what it is and with the pace of technology being what it is.
These are old school agrarian ideas about population growth that I don't believe actually matter anymore.
They're selling this lie to force immigration where none is actually "needed." I think they just want to keep wages and conditions depressed so people are easier to control.
Smart borders and 15 minute cities. That's what the long play is here.
makes me wonder how much ammo the deep state/cabal still has.
um.. trillions? they can now just print what they want. so.. technically, infinite ammo? well, it's just the future of your children and grandchildren, so, not infinite.. but, how can you measure the future wealth of generations being destroyed? 100 trillion.. at least...
Yea.
It's organized crime.
This is how organized crime functions.
You don't get the best.. you get someone's compromised greaseball cousin.
It's a great way to cut ties if the whole things goes sour. You don't have to give up anyone important.
It's not even the best part of their form 990.
Fundraising Events: $3.2M
Government Grants: $258M (fuck)
Private Gifts: $63M
Investment Income: $2.4M
Sales Income: $75M
What a total shitshow on costs, too:
Organization Grants: $60k (yep, thousand)
Personal Grants: $2M (lol, wut?)
Salaries: $121M
Pensions: $17M
Benefits: $27M
Rent: $30M
Interest: $7M
Depretation: $26M
Total Expenses: $307M
Holding:
$2.6B in private assets and investments.
Well.. that explains the investment officer, then. He's carrying this whole rotten fucked up organization on his back. While losing $220M a year overall for the organization, which entitled him to a $600k bonus at the end of the year. What a guy.
The whole long form joke, if you're into that sort of thing.. https://drupal.nypl.org/sites-drupal/default/files/2023-05/NYPL%202022%20990%20Form.pdf
The militia is well defined by The Constitution:
Article 1, Section 8:
"The Congress shall have Power To [...] To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions; To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;"
Article 2, Section 2:
"The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; [...]"
could you expect it to become two bottles without intervention? Of course not.
You shouldn't expect it in any way. You can't absolutely rule it out either. You're basically using a backwards ontological argument to "prove" a negative. Which, you can't actually do, which is precisely related to my point of view.
because you are in possession of the facts about bottles and their capabilities to spontaneously generate.
The bottle could duplicate through some rational process without you being capable of measuring it. You don't actually possess anything other than your ability and capacity to measure things. You are far more confident in this than you should be.
A statement that always describes reality is a statement of fact.
Well, let's try to hit bedrock: "There is a universe."
Well.. probably, but genuinely, since we can't get outside of it, we have to resolve ourselves to a solid "maybe." From here, most hope for "absolute truth" is also gone. Since.. we live in this object that we believe is a "universe."
Still.. our best guess is that the laws of nature inside this "universe" have not been constant for the life of the universe. So, some of your statements, while possibly valid for billions of years, are almost certainly constrained in time (and again, possibly space, which is why dark matter theories are a thing), and if you think they aren't, you'll need to hypothesize and present a different possible explanation for our measurements and observations.
There aren't facts.
There are just declarative statements. These statements can possibly correctly describe reality, to a measurable degree, where those measurements are constrained to specific moments in time and possibly specific regions of space.
"Science" as a verb is simply the process of taking this measurement.
Who cares? The government does not need to decide what I can and cannot see on my behalf. The fact that they carved out a special slot for the king of tendies is ridiculous.
These people are pushing this garbage because they're on the take and the realize the populist MAGA movement really doesn't want this, so they have to come out and try to sell it.
Ignore them. They're fake people.
Don't worry. The military will magically save you. They've proven themselves beyond corruption. So, this is a good fantasy to be experiencing. :|
