And if bread is $20 a loaf it won't be because of who is President..it will be because of the weather 
Look...I'm not trying to blow you here, but you're a smart dude. I don't agree with most of what you post...at least recently and vice-versa I'm sure, but we both have been here a long time and without divurging (sp?) opinions and even radical opinions, this will turn into Pace Adv or the opposite. |
You are partly right that the economy ebbs and flows independently from government. It is controlled by a separate entity that is accountable to no one.
And when called into question at debates the puppets who are owned by them laugh at the man who has the courage to question the beast that is the Federal Reserve.
And, of course, the man who questions the Fed has a complacent stance on abortion and gay rights.
That's where I say it was planned that way. To believe otherwise is naive and that's where I get abusive towards folks who don't see the problem for what it is.
Bob I know you're a smart guy and have been successful professionally. It's understandable that you're supportive of this country and still believe in the process that made you successful.
I propose that you are successful, in part, due to collectivism and the abandonment of your core beliefs for profit. You made a decision for you and your potential future generations that was the most beneficial. That's understandable and I apologize for saying you sold your soul to them.
If put in the same situation I would probably do the same.
It doesn't change the fact that the system is fatally flawed. And the profits you have made overseas have been a small piece to the puzzle of the destruction of this country.
The empty cities in China are telling. Their economy is more than likely tapped out.
About bread...
A decent loaf of bread on the gulf was running $5 at Publix. Not the kind with high fructose corn syrup and other sh.it that kills you.
So yeah it's possible bread could go to $20 in the next decade. I say it only needs to go up 50% for things to spiral out of control.
Comparisons to pace advantage? Well I think that PA doesn't have a liberal quite on the level of Riot. Sure they had that weird Canadian guy but he's not in her league. If you want to make this sub-forum better then I propose sacrificing second tier party tards like dimmy and bigpun.
And if that doesn't work get rid of Riot and the new Bizarro Riot.
