Public Speaking is hard, try it.

"I've had a few experiences in educational situations, and they've been worse than flies crawling all over my face. I don't know if it is me or what, but having to speak to college students is like having to address a crowd or work-shirking entitlement robots...You can't pay teachers enough to do what they do. Having been in their shoes, even briefly, has converted me into an education advocate. Dble all teaching salaries now." - Douglas Coupland

Do they not realize that putin is allied with Xi? How is that going to work exactly?

It seems more likely to me that it isn't supposed to work at all, except to foment a civil war in North America by (eventually) splitting it down a 'diagonal' from Alaska to Florida.

Speaking of which, Canada is in North America too, and along that 'line'

You're very welcome. And you're right, there are sadly waaay too many theofascists living in rurally insulated enclaves, being convinced and then convincing each other of all kinds of twisted, self-immolating foreign adversary, O&G techbro generated gobbedlygoop.

When you were partying, I studied the blade. When you were having premarital sex, I mastered the blockchain. While you wasted your days at the gym in pursuit of vanity, I cultivated inner strength. And now that the world is on fire and the barbarians are at the gate you have the audacity to come to me for help.

It's a thread!

    Sorry, it's not true. In spite of all the indoctrination we receive in schools — along with mountains of government propaganda — capitalism and democracy cannot co-exist.

    If democracy is going to work, you first must have equality. But equality is not possible under capitalism because far too much power always flows to the money side of the equation.

    So let’s accept that voting within the capitalist structure is simply a means of reinforcing that very structure. It’s about power and control, not about freedom and choice.

    Without socialism and true equality, there is no democracy.

    Under the pretense that the roughly 7 successful decades of practicing McGeer monetary policy was too inflationary, in 1974 the Basel Committee recommended gov'ts stop borrowing from their national banks and look to private finance to fund their public works
    The result was that nations/states/cities that had been frugal before now had easy access to 'unlimited' capital, except any interest went to the private sector, instead of back into the public's coffer (McGeer policy)
