Well our money was backed by gold until 1971, are you saying there is no difference between fiat and precious metal backed currency? A lot of folks on here keep saying we have to raise taxes to get this and that done, and ive been trying to explain taxes do not fund govt spending. What say you @eridani

He was a famous figure in the music world for decades before he became a criminal, so it’s not surprising that gets more mention in an obit. I don’t think that’s the same as excusing him or saying the victim’s life didn’t matter. In the article I posted they put “murderer” in the title.

Hi eridani,

eridani – “The motivation for lying about UFOs would be what, exactly?”

Hi eridani,

Since when was the CIA to ever be trusted with anything, much less being honest?

Hi eridani,

I have heard objections to hand counts before for various reasons. Where there is a will there is a way.

AFTER votes were tabulated from the evoting machines and reported out. Most likely because they didn’t figure in Tom Steyer doing as well as he did. They can only steal a % of votes in an evoting machine before it becomes obvious what they’re doing. That’s when they go to the computers to ‘fix’ things and make them right for their hand…[Read more]

Hi eridani,

I would add the following for consideration:

• the UK counts all ballots by hand for the entire nation in one night – it is possible
• election day should be a federal holiday so everyone can vote without impediment
• we need a national voting process that is the same across all states and the same for every election
• if a…

Hi eridani,

All good suggestions for consideration.

Some additional thoughts:

• the UK counts all ballots by hand for the entire nation in one night – it is possible
• election day should be a federal holiday so everyone can vote without impediment
• we need a national voting process that is the same across all states and the same for…

Hi eridani,

Diet is not hard.  Watch the documentary on UFC fighter James Wilks as he searches the world for the best diet.

Hi eridani,

But is Block Chain the underlying technology which will eliminate money as we know it? If all money is controlled by Block Chain, then the powers that be can see and control all transactions by everyone. How, by simply controlling where you can spend your BitCoin. Good here but not there. Like having your credit card…[Read more]

Hi eridani,

Maybe so. But who will do the protesting? When the majority of Americans are on the ragged edge economically, there will be no protests for lack of physical energy and funds to sustain long-term action.

For comparison, the 1960 protests were largely driven by youth who had the time, energy and resources to stage a fight.…[Read more]

Hi eridani,

My understanding is Brexit was really about European tax laws. By removing itself from the EU, the UK uber wealthy will have saved themselves billions in taxes. And secondarily, the UK will itself become a tax haven. From a conservative playbook this seems consistent wit similar plays around the world.

Hi eridani,

Your post underscores that peril of capitalism in this regard.

Hi eridani et. al.,

Draw attention to this paragraph as the author captures reality that society walks past in “hope” of something better – delusional thinking at its finest.

Bernie ran as a Democrat because yeah, he could get on the ballot, because the GOP and the Democratic Party have the ballot all sewn up.  Shitstains.  I voted for Bernie in the primary because he is BERNIE – issues, record, deeds.   Being on the ballot as a Democrat was not a selling point, believe me.  I figured they would fuck him over, and then…[Read more]

Hi eridani,

More progressive Hopium for Congressives ( @ohiobarbarian ) to salivate over. Chances are high that the House of Representatives will switch to Republicans at the mid-terms in 2022. This pattern has repeated itself over and over again in American political history. So, even if Turner can get elected, she will probably be…[Read more]

Voting for Vichy Dems is not only a waste of time, it is giving assent to war and austerity.  I believe Biden and Pelosi are giving a master class in that very thing right fucking now.  Ask AOC.

Here’s the unalterable thing – the BEST I can do – and fuck voter outreach, by the way, if the Dems’ voter outreach is all pandering lies, which it is -…[Read more]
