Should we worry? About Trump’s reciprocal tariffs which are going to plunge the world into the greatest recession since the 1930’s, Trump breaking the post war Western alliance and making partner of Putin’s Russa, or Trump dismantling of the Constitutional underpinnings of all American juris prudence? Oh, you’re talking about some fucking router.

this was thought to provide babies with fresh air, instead of cramped dusty fetid apartment rooms (no mention of the fact these were usually directly over streets with car and truck exhausts pumping out smog)

i remember mama

That’s fun, standing next to Sisi who killed and imprisoned every last member of The Muslim Brotherhood he could lay his hands on when he ousted the last Egyptian President (who also died in prison while on trial) in a Military Coup d’etat, hahahahahahahahaha

Dr Evil asked for 1 Million dollars (pinkie to side of mouth), that was the joke

And I think you’re seeing this ending up a whole lot differently than I am. I think Trump and Putin carved up Ukraine in their phone call. That Russia isn’t going to allow any troops but Americans into Ukraine to secure the “negotiated peace”, that they will threaten to fire on any NATO country that sets foot in Ukraine except for the Americans. Russia will keep what they invaded and took plus some, the US will get to rape Ukraine of it’s rare earth minerals in the rest using Ukranian ports to export them to the US under the guise of reparations for aid given in the last 3 years. That’s how I see it playing out. Europe is going to have to decide how important Ukraine is to it, and given European history, they talk a big game, but when it comes down to it, they’er going to decided to protect their own borders, rather than forcing their way into the meat grinder between the US and Russia.

For the last time, birds are not real.

sadaam crawls up into a little ball when you do that

Well, firstly you have to understand that deep down on the DNA level the man is a weasel. Everything springs from that, with each successive gain in financial success, he’s become emboldened and excused to allow his inner weasel to run wild. He’s got 11 kids at last count. He’s done everything we wanted to do professionally, and then he got bored, and found the greatest drug there is for a weasel with tyrannical proclivities, using his money to buy power, in order to act like a god, then bully and hurt people. It’s not rocket science.

cheers, thanks for the correction

you’ve just perfectly described all meme culture my good man

not at all, the fdic can’t be trusted any longer, and that’s only up to 100k 250k when it was under trustworthy management, and people had the expectation of being made whole by the federal government if their bank failed. yeah, no, there are no safe answers here. this ghost valuation of the market propped up on yesterdays laws of american commerce though, whoof. someday soon somebody somewhere is going to say “the emporer has no clothes” and then it all comes down.

that’s right people lost their homes, farms, businesses, and jumped off skycrappers in 29, before the market crashed, i must have forgotten

IBM, Coca Cola were offered on the American Stock Exchange you potted plant, not the Nazi stock exchange, and Volkswagen was using Jewish slave labor at Auschwitz to make their cars, what the fuck are you talking about. Fascism isn’t good for business, it’s always destructive. The American Stock exchange still governed by sanity and the underlying business law back by the Constitution functioned as it should during WW2, not the fucking Nazi stock exchange, jesus fuck

All of that makes sense only if you fundamentally misunderstand the concept of “underpinnings”. The German stock market was valueless to anyone, and it’s stocks not worth the paper they were printed on when the Nazis took over, only German companies being offered on American stock exchanges kept and grew, and realized their value during and after the war. You sounded smart there for a minute, until I thought about what you wrote. It’s like your whistling in a hurricane, a south park cop saying nothing to see here nothing to see here.

yes financial value isn’t intrinsic, it’s created, but it’s created by group acclimation, a thing is worth what a) someone of a group of someones says it’s worth AND by b) a second group who is willing to pay what the first group has valued that thing at, for that thing. but it’s an understanding, which is based in observable, recordable, and prooveable metrics BASED equally on the intangible of trust in the underlying business system upon which it is offered. That second bit can’t exist in the current environment, when the Constitution and all law based on it, are becoming meaningless.

The “full faith and credit of the united states government” as expressed and guaranteed in American dollars, is probably pretty safe for a while at least, as most of the world’s nations economies still base their own currency on the us dollar, but that’s going to unravel at some point sooner than later i imagine

ok. best of luck with that. i don’t think i’m overstimating russia, or understimated european capability, and more importantly european resolve.
