He’s rich, not a branch of government.

Kind of curious where he gets the funding for that board.

Poland’s military is about half again larger than Ukraine prior to the war, large portions of it are very well trained, and their equipment is significantly better. If they decided to march to Moscow, nothing Russia has, short of nukes, would slow them down. And Poland would really like to discuss with them, some of the things that happened in WW2, in an up front and personal way.

The US still makes massive amounts of cotton. That all gets exported to other countries before getting turned into garments and things.

Coffee, tea, and everything you’re wearing right now.

They won’t shut it all down, just localized areas in order to ‘protect the safety of officers operating in the area’.

Probably best to stick to coordinating movements to isolate and neutralize paid provocateurs and provide secure wellness stations, while maintaining a recording of EVERYTHING done by officials. Remember to broadcast everything, not just record. That way recordings can’t be seized.

At some point they’ll start shutting down internet access to prevent recording of their actions. But that will probably coincide to when protest isn’t the most efficient of methods any more.

Very true, and if the nuclear threat goes away, it’ll look like a pack of junk yard dogs let loose on a kitten.

Right wingers only see problems when it happens to them personally. So the only way to get rid of Trump is to give him enough rope to hang himself. This is just a tiny string in that rope. I’m hoping he gathers up enough to end up like Mussolini.

If not for nukes, Poland probably would have rolled Russia by themselves. The rest of NATO could just be emotional support.

More food banks and more spending can both happen at the same time.

While I fully support these protests, they need to be planning for the responding violence from authorities. It’s coming the day Trump takes office.

Everyone is broke, but still buying everything in the economy? Sorry, time to acknowledge the reality that life is just hard. Deflation happens after it gets really bad.

Deflation just means everyone is already starving. Deflation isn’t the start of a process, it’s the result of massive failure. Just like inflation doesn’t happen the second money is printed, it has to circulate before price inflation is a thing.

What we need are labor groups, and taxes on companies who use government benefits as part of their wage calculation.

In short, never try to make prices go down, instead make wages go up, and make competition control prices.

They sell the targeting, from there it’s simple for the advertisers to compile the list with the tracking cookies left behind.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LES1252881600Q#0 Real wages are up since Covid was dealt with. That’s simple factual reality.

The perception of course, is that everything is worse. Because prices did go up, and they’re staying there. Which just means the economy didn’t collapse and cause mass unemployment.

Google has that list, and it’s for sale. Regardless if you tell them, they know.

Add him to the next case as knowing accomplice with criminal conspiracy to obstruct justice. He’s publicly calling for a criminal act on an individual.

The sad thing is that there are a thousand ways to attack prices, or even just give sound bites that the public can run with. But almost all of them would upset neoliberal billionaires, so they can never be spoken.

You know you’ve heard people say inflation hasn’t stopped because prices are still high. Like they’re going to magically get better prices when inflation stops.

Yeah it’s stupid, welcome to America.
