The political class and their corporate partners in crime are just blatantly looting the Govt and taxpayers for anything that is left. This is after running up $40 trillion in debt. Which let's be honest. A large amount of that also made it to this same corrupt group. It's just that back in the day, they had to scheme and play games to steal and ultimately bankrupt the Govt. Already going after Social Security too. At some point they will have run up so much debt and stolen so much money that there will be nothing left to take... Other than the ongoing corruption to maintain power and all the regulatory capture that keeps the fraud and corruption machine going... Which itself is being fed by all this imaginary money from the Federal Reserve. And the rest of us just pay for it while being increasingly unable to afford the cost of all the corruption and theft. Then due to these same assholes building systems and robots to replace labor, you're going to have fewer jobs and the ones that exist will be increasingly shitty as different roles are replaced as AI and robotics advances. All of those people will be looking to a welfare safety net to literally stay alive. And the response from social security, and all the other programs will be that there is no money for it. Where did it all go again?

What's more interesting is that the AI fueled replacement of human labor is happening along side the largest global rebalancing of trade and finances in history. It could be argued that the U.S. is entering a phase of readjusting to not controlling all of the international trade and being able to run endless debts by doing it. At the end of WW2, the U.S. was able to set the terms for many countries. The contrast between these changes in reduced funding to social welfare programs, which the eventual collapse of the U.S. bond market will force as there will be no money to pay for much besides an outdated military and the interest on the debt. To keep the party going they massively hyped up AI and dumped even more imaginary dollars into it, hoping to be able to replace the need for workers. Creative ways of keeping the bond market bubble going crossed over between these two issues. One example is how tethered currency to the dollar for things like USDT have behind the scenes been funding an increasing share of Treasury debt. It's all one big interconnected house of cards where at the root of it is an idea based off having exorbitant privilege with a reserve currency. Where you can create this imaginary private company called the Federal Reserve which has magic balance sheets that can act as a second unlimited treasury, while feeding the debt issued by the primary treasury. All of this money just moves around causing inflation and higher interest payments. A system like this will have to collapse at some point and with all the international finanace changes happening, it's only a matter of time.

It takes a lot of restraint to have total access to important systems and be in a poorly ending situation with a company.

All of these articles fail to mention that since 2007, Tennessee's 9th district has been held by Steve Cohen... Who by all accounts is not a black man. In fact, since 1823, every representative has been white, except for Harold Ford and Harold Ford Jr, who were more of a political machine who represented the white areas than real representation of the black people of the district. Even then, they were only in power for about 20 years out of the time since 1823. This parallels what happened after reconstruction failed... Just using the system (gerrymandering) to disenfranchise other than polling taxes and literacy tests.

Y2K times 9/11

 

There was a post recently in the Denver subreddit that posted an article about how all the "Devils are in Denver" from some crazy right wing site or whatever.

So I posted, "Blue cities have no clue what is headed their way"

Then a mod bans from me from the subreddit and didn't explain why my post was bad. I think it's pretty obvious given the urban, rural divide that blue cities are dealing with all kinds of stuff.

So I follow up to the mods, "Hey what is the ban about, I didn't break any rules?"

They didn't reply but made it where I can't speak to them for a month.

LOL, I also said something like it makes sense why everyone is leaving centralized sites like reddit.
