Yes, not many were paying attention to the loan structures implying there wouldn't be much of an internal change. However, everyone else already has issues competing on interest rates, and I'd think lowering them would entice money to invest on something; the crisis on the core should come when another tech bubble bursts, no? Which America definitely doesn't want.

I miss something often enough, but I think you're overthinking a little.

Perhaps. I think the issue is that how money works is counter-intuitive, especially after being used to common nonsense,that simplifications are useful... in a particular context, and they fail in others.

The important point is that money isn't scarce, so all the limitations you're used to exist because of other reasons. I believe that creates an opening for thinking and criticism, even if the American branch prefers thinking you just to fiddle with the numbers to keep the system going.

And it will still be run by an American. Shouldn't they figure out what the chain of command is for the "European army" is first? I still want to see them argue about what country gets to lead what countries.

The only savings are the paper, if it's physical money. The consolidated government reduces and increases the total value of reserves when needed either way.

Double entry book keeping that sums to zero. You can find a better description, but it's something like this:

Government spends first, telling treasury to increase numbers in appropriate accounts. The treasury "withdraws" money from the Fed, which is also the state, creating a deposit from the left pocket to the right, and from the right pocked to the left. When taxes are payed, the treasury can "return" the money, wiping the spending from circulation. If the Fed sells debt, it can only be payed with money on the same currency that was already spent into existence. Loaning also creates money in the form of extra debt, but that debt can only be payed if it is spent into existence.

Zionism will destroy itself. Even if it somehow killed every single Arab and had all the lebensraum it could want, the death cult would have to feed of their own.

But it's killing its economy faster than that, alienating the vast majority of the world and eviscerating any notion that there any international rules to follow. Good luck to the entire west keeping the treats coming.

That's anti-sinophism. Buddhists have a right to defend themselves.

Europe now depends on the US for security, energy and its consumer market.

And food, whenever the bought leftovers of the war join the EU.

the document’s intent and implications for the election

Who cares; like RICO, Patriot, et all it will be used to stifle dissent soon and forever as soon as it is convenient, whether by a ghoul of team red or one of team blue.

When I'm not in the nihilist mood, I fully trust the zionist entity to keep searching for collapse of itself.

Guinea Bissau,

As a Portuguese, I'm ashamed I only just learned a little bit about their victory, but now I'm "what"?

The secret service being in disrepair while several police forces are more armed than most countries in the world says something, I'm just a little dumb to get there. But one blatant thing is that the defense of property and controlling the rabble is much more important than protecting the interchangeable figureheads.

The naive interpretation is so that the military can act against a new January 6th. As usual, it's so broad it will be used against protests in a couple of years. Even the liberal mind shouldn't want team red to have this power, but it probably believe it restrains the Great Men instead.

That's freedom and liberation, baby! He's a bit unhinged about collective guilt, is that normal?

It's what the chuds imagine themselves doing while fighting the imaginary hordes in their head.

Make it a group of west coast Americans, brits, and the most unhinged Russians coming together, all white, duh, and it should be.

This is too much. I can't keep forcing myself to bear witness and see it getting worse and worse. We're going to read more unfathomable justifications of why burning a refugee camp never happened, but if it happened, it would be a good thing, and they weren't human anyway.

Just death to Israel, man. I'm welcoming everyone to just launch the nukes for months and months now. Instead, we'll get a few more sternly worded posts from Borell and other useless idiots.

Why would they be hiding it? It's perfectly rules based to do it, and they would want everyone to know.

Somewhat disheartened by the appeal to voting Trump, but I get it. Trump is also not enthusiastically endorsed by the Cheney family.
