Simply put the additional debt with out tax increases that goes straight to the 1% is going to spook the bond market.

The government can borrow as much money as it wants as long as it's pouring it right back into the economy because it comes right back out.

The trouble with Trump is that he's going to borrow $5 trillion dollars and just hand it to the top 1%, who will use it too by a competitors and jack up prices.

The bond market rightfully understands that's a recipe for disaster so they will invert the yield curves and basically crash the bond market.

That will weaken the US dollar increasing the price of imports and The increased inflation coupled with high interest rates and the constant layoffs that plague our entire economic system will lead to a massive crash.

This is before we talk about all the deregulation that's going on that leaves Wall Street open to do pretty much anything they want.

I've said it before but half the people reading this or going to be home listen 4 years, maybe six depending on how much equity they have in their house before the bank takes it. They'll get you with the healthcare system. You'll lose your job and you'll need healthcare so you'll mortgage your house to pay for it. You won't be able to get Medicaid either and there won't be any work for somebody pushing 50. But the system will be designed to prevent you from accessing healthcare unless you have a job, which as I mentioned above you can't get. So you will mortgage your house to pay for the medicine that keeps you alive and then eventually fall behind until the bank takes it.

And that seizure of property is going to be how we get our first trillionaire.

It's entirely possible the person you're replying to really isn't living in the same world as you. There's a phenomenon from last year called sane washing where the entire news media protects Donald Trump and the Republican party at all costs and anyone who threatens them gets fired immediately.

I watched dozens of journalists fired last year for trying to call Donald Trump to task on the things he's said and done

Stephen Miller wants them arresting 3,000 people a day when they're barely doing that in a month. It's why they keep pulling actual US citizens off the streets.

Seriously if you have a tan you could easily find yourself locked up for two or three weeks. Let alone if you are actually Latino or Hispanic. And they could care less if you are a US citizen.

Also the whole thing is really there to get us used to having a heavily militarized police just kind of walking around. We are gradually being conditioned to expect people in full camo with covered faces and assault rifles walking around our cities as if it's normal. It's another aspect of project 2025.

It's a scam just like recycling his old scam to keep the plastic industry going.

One of the things that frustrates me is an adult is how we have all these bizarre fucked up scams that make up our civilization and society that we all just kind of shrug our shoulders at and allow.

It's the old boiling of frog trick. If you took a kid and you told them how dishonest adults are they'd be pretty fucking pissed but you grow up learning one scam after another.

The one that got me first as a kid was Christopher Columbus and finding out he was an absolute monster. Like Adolf Hitler grade son of a bitch. There are plenty of others though.

Most notably the h1b. So if you make good money you can expect that none of this is going to have any effect on you. We are rounding up a whole bunch of Mexicans and Hispanics, honestly mostly Hispanics Mexico's median income has been going up, who work in low tier shit jobs but we are still bringing in a fuck ton people to take middle class jobs.

Also Trump is already working on figuring out how to bring in more people on little skill work visas without pissing off his base. The bill he passed that cuts somewhere around 15 million people off Medicaid is extremely unpopular, so he waited until after the midterms. But the fact that he passed it anyway indicates that he's not going to need any votes in 2028. And no that's not because it's his second term. We will be seeing a third term of trump unless he happens to die.

The only thing I find hilarious, and it's going to get me down modded into pulp, is that in case you were wondering why all these numbskulls voted to get rid of the workers they needed for their farms it's because they're kind of racist and they thought that the black people would come back to the plantations as it were.

Practical quantum prime factorization is all the way up to (some) 2 digit numbers and it only took 20 years. Lately, scaling of quantum computers seems to have hit a wall. MS's meetoo quantum chip turned out to be a mock-up, Google's imminant announcement of the largest QC yet is now a year overdue and silence from the hype machine is ominous.

So I guess this is Aptiv trying to cash in (or perhaps cash out) before the bust.

Russia barely has an air force. They're corrupt government had been basically pocketing the money for their military for the last 20 years and so it turned out they didn't really have the kind of air force that could overwhelm a country.

It is extremely impressive though what Ukraine has done here. Even with all the corruption Russia does still have a hell of a lot of weapons and a hell of a lot more people. Although it is telling that they keep pulling North Koreans and I think now people of Laos into The fray rather than risk a full-scale draft for this useless war.

Remember all failing empires eventually try to expand their borders in order to fill their emptying coffers caused by incompetence and corruption. America will be there eventually. When it happens you can expect a draft.

Name recognition is name recognition. As the saying goes there's no such thing as bad publicity.

And if it's one thing the last 6 months has taught me it's that the public has the memory capacity of a forgetful goldfish.

Money laundering has been what's propped up crypto.

The problem is that only works if cryptocurrency isn't tightly integrated into the main line economy. That's starting to happen.

Overtime the volume of money laundering will not be enough to prop up that integration and when it goes down it'll be like a rotten scaffolding taking us all with it.

The two big to fail banks will be just fine but you're still going to lose your house. Even if you own it out right you'll mortgage it while you're unemployed for 5 years waiting for the economy to recover

For the housing market collapse to hit. It still hit and we never recovered from it.

You're like those numbskulls that drive too close to a semi truck. Not realizing that the damn thing needs a football field to stop.

The economy doesn't stop on a dime. It will take a while for the collapse to hit but it's going to hit like a brick. If you survived 2008 with your finances intact you won't make it through the crypto crash.

Seriously no respect whatsoever. Rodney Dangerfield levels of no respect. They certainly aren't expecting to have elections in 2 years let alone four.

The next crash these scam artists are engineering is going to be so much worse than 2008.

Tire particulate is not large sized that's why it's not on the ground making everything filthy. It's incredibly tiny so it turns into particulate that stays in the air. I don't think I care to bother looking up whether your numbers are correct but it doesn't matter if they are the point is that tire particulate is microscopic.

And all of your other numbers are completely stupid because they are all based on a single car ignoring the fact that we have millions of cars in any major city.

Yeah you're beat up pickup truck in the middle of nowhere is probably not going to be a problem. It's the tens of millions of cars being used to go literally everywhere because we have not just built our transportation that work around cars but around forcing people to drive a minimum of 30 to 60 minutes a day. Every aspect of our city is designed to force you to drive more.

And again you know damn well the studies currently show the tire particulate is literally hundreds of times worse than engine exhausted at this point.

A 10-year-old could figure out why. We've been working on engine exhaust and limiting it for almost 50 years. We didn't do anything about tire particulate and frankly we can't. It's a fundamental problem with the use of automobiles and it's why people who are trying to protect the established order and obsessed with cars will scream and cry and do everything they can to stop any discussion of tire particulate as a city pollutant

Because they're probably isn't any solution for it at all. If you did something the prevented the tires from going into the air that particulates still has to go somewhere. So unless we're going to spend billions cleaning roads of tire goup.

Basically it's an intractable problem and another reason why we shouldn't be using 2000 lb boxes to go to the fucking grocery store.

Those chargers aren't free. Or even cheap. They are very expensive and it will cost you roughly the same to charge per mile as it would to fill up your tank with gas. Only it takes 5 to 7 times as long.

So I get a shitload of inconvenience at the same or even sometimes a higher cost. As a consumer that's not a good deal.

That takes my comments and modifies them in order to make them more ridiculous. I haven't quite figured out what they're up to but I assume they're training in llm because they figured out that I'm a real person.

They're trying to get you to engage with them so they can get more engagement to train their llm, again I suspect.

I have commented about tire particulation based on articles and studies I've read. And it is a much larger problem than exhaust from internal combustion engines now because internal combustion engines are extremely clean. They have been for 20 years.

So by all means educate me. List out the reasons why I am wrong and why the studies I quote are wrong. Can't do that can you? All you can do is say nuh-uh like a 2 year old

But I'll wait. Go ahead tell everyone here why tire particulation isn't a problem. Why breathing little bits of tire particulate is okay. We are listening...

It's cheaper but it's not much cheaper than buying gas. In fact it's often more expensive than buying gas depending on where you're charging.

That pretty much negates the cost advantage. There was supposed to be a maintenance cost advantage because the engines are supposed to be more durable however the rest of the parts are more complex and more expensive to fix so it ends up negating the savings from the engine.

I'm just saying that is a consumer unless you're charging at home there isn't a lot of cost advantage unless the government is heavily subsidizing your purchase. And most of that ends in September.

Now mind you the electric cars out there are starting to have an effect on the price of gas by reducing gas demand. So there is that. But again that's the classic tragedy of the commons, I got mine fuck you scenario. I'm going to drive a gas car because it's more convenient at the same price.

But again if we were really trying to solve our transportation problems we would be building out public transportation instead of pouring tons of tax dollars into private companies run by billionaires. But that's not how anything works.

But we all grew up with cars so we're not going to change anything because nobody ever wants to change anything they grew up with. It's called 4 to 14.
