My car is 2012 and my TV is 2010 so I don't want to replace them!

I wonder what time frame we are talking about for a possible "great taking". For various reasons I need a couple more years at least to sort things out ...

Brutal

Kind of a change of topic but do you have any idea what's going on with Matthew Kratter? He's leading the whole Knots movement against Core, and he has convincing arguments, but I'm bothered by the fact that he used to work for Peter Theil ...

So this didn't happen organically in your opinion. This is being "steered" by someone? What is particulary horrible is how they just shipped all the manufacturing jobs there in the 90s/2000s and destroyed places like the rust belt, then brought in opiods. My father was a steelworker, so I'm sensitive on this topic. He ended up with a reduced pension, deindexed from inflation, because the steel mill he worked for was struggling and was bought out by an Indian company

What's weird is, aren't they also spraying themselves from the sky, and bladting themselves with 5G? Why would they do that to themselves and their families?

It's weird that Trump, Putin etc. are listed as "actors" on that site

Very interesting 🤔

I agree that the rivalries seem fake, especially with China:
1. If the US and China were truly enemies, the US wouldn't allow 250,000 Chinese to study in the US every year. That's a lot of potential spies.
2. Similarly, I have a friend who works at the top science and engineering university in Japan. She said there are SO MANY Chinese students, especially at the masters/phd level. Why on earth would Japan be sharing high level scientific knowledge and training with Chinese students if China were really their enemy?
3. If the US and China were truly rivals, wouldn't China cut the US off from all rare earths and weapons parts? I mean why sell weapons parts to your enemy??? It's ridiculous.

Very useful read!

I have a hard time watching movies nowadays, because in the back of my mind I'm thinking it's some kind of propaganda or has some sort of agenda. Also I hate how dark, violent and crude movies have become. It's sad because teenagers and young adults watch this stuff, and I'm sure it influences their mind

This is the well-documented CIA strategy of flooding us with so much info and so many wacky theories that we can't separate truth from fiction
