@integral I think you're dealing with some displaced resentment. I don't read what she's saying as "I come here to win".

It's not just sexist either, in this context it's gaslighting too. Sadly, I think this is the kind of thing Emerald identified as the root to her suppressing anger.

"Women. 🍻 " "We're not sexist, we're just right! 🍻" Every woman should get her daily dose of mansplaining, they'd wander into traffic or something otherwise. /s

It's invented, and incorrect in the sense that 'something counter to it is incorrect'. The double-slit experiment has proven infinity, not that there was ever any logical way infinity could be false. Take 1+1=2 There are no two identical objects in the universe, nor is there true separation between anything for there to be 2, nor the combining of anything. This befuddles all math. The patterns you're discovering are purely conceptual.

Maybe to be heard. It'd be toxic if she just wants to win. Sometimes people aren't looking for you to help solve a problem, but just to listen. People tend to fall into two diametrically opposed categories with communication; don't help unless they ask, they'll easily ask if they want your advice, or the other people; they'll almost never ask but they'll always listen to advice.

I posted a graph showing wages outpacing consumer goods prices, three times. You believe the system has caused this by practices like 07' subprime loans? The larger houses are custom builds, spec builds are the smaller. Of course they're more profitable, because they're more desirable. Spec builders are going to build the houses that sell the fastest, not the biggest they can build if it sits longer than a slightly smaller one, neither the bank nor builder dismiss turnaround. What is your systemic solution, tighter loaning regulations? It's about an increase in the standard of living, a substantial increase. We've also phased out lead gas, coal power, gas guzzling death-trap cars, and smog; these advances in the standard of living come with some cost. what is your theory on the systemic problem and solution with college? My opinion is the demand is too high, too many people wanting college degrees, and not from community college for free for the same exact career outcome. People can get college for free in the u.s. with FAFSA, but they want to go to a big name party school for social reasons, again overconsumption.

The FBI and NSA are in such dysfunction right now, the Taliban could start a forum and openly plan their next attack.

The president appointed his stooge in charge of D.O.J. this term and his first term. Bill Barr, the first term, whom has links to Epstein, himself. The investigation was ongoing until a couple months ago, obviously you don't release all your evidence before you're ready for all the trials.

Superfascists aren't so mighty after all......

It's a movie, as in to make money. If the claims seemed strong they would be all over every network with the bare claims, not just Faux news selling their movie.

"https://www.miamiherald.com 2 days ago — Donald Trump is mentioned in Jeffrey Epstein's emails over 1,000 times — the most cited person in the tranche released this week by the House" The count is up to 1,500 now. How's the song go, "I'm proud to be an American...". Essentially, everyone that is flying an American flag tomorrow supports child molesters over helping the poor.

House sizes have increased significantly, how many people per house has DECREASED, how many cars people own has increased significantly('2 cars person'). How many people are on health insurance has increased significantly, how many people do outpatient visits has increased dramatically, Wages have surpassed consumer staples, not by much, but it hasn't gotten worse, prices have gone down compared to wages but consumption has increased, poverty has decreased. There is a problem with housing, but it's lifestyle changes, houses are gigantic now with only 2 people living in them, in the past 3-generation homes were normal, 3 generations and a third the size, houses with no a/c, barely any insulation, full of lead and formaldehyde; making things safer and more efficient also increases cost. I also believe it's clear home prices are a bubble, not permanent, just from huge market disruptions like trumps tarrifs on building materials his first term and then covid, Trump also did fsa loan changes his first term helping more people enter the homeowner market.

The premise is that something has gotten worse in a few decades. Re-sell the house! Subprime just means the client is high risk, it means nothing in loan terms. Lending to risky people HELPS THEM, you'd rather they not be leant to. No one held a gun to their head, no one made them choose the more expensive house. And they could have re-sold the house. The mortgage rates were well within legal limits, within their income, obviously. Regardless still, that was a minority of the populace, and the practice has been regulated away, now your friends can't get the mortgage.

That's also not what happened. Get a grip and lay off the drugs, your brain is cooked. You would rather they been relegated to renting, so they're out nothing then, some benefited even, if they kept paying or sold the house if it got too much. Since trump went bankrupt 7 times you think the system screwed him too. Is there any personal mistake a person can make that isn't the systems fault? 🤣

The people that were given the loans were harmed? Elaborate. Even if it was risky, it was obviously the consumers choice, AND houses were not expensive then if you're basing anything on high prices you're absolutely wrong. You would rather they been relegated to renting? And cutout the ad hominem, you already look dumb enough. The first one is wages. Quit wasting people's time with your lies.

You think Xi is oblivious to this?

You see no conflict here with China, in your words wanting Europe to have that same ideology? Europe wanting to takeover the world, right? China wants Europe to have this ideology?

That's definitely a "common sense" analysis, let's use something a little more than common sense now. So, you claim China wants to take over the world or something like that, I think you said that, and you think they want other countries to have the same ideology that leads them to also want to take over the world, or whatever expansionism you see with China?

So Goldman Sachs/the systen, harmed people, by giving people loans for homes they otherwise wouldn't have been able to get? Those are lopsided mischaracterizations.

Oil Market. The West does not trust the other middle eastern nations, let alone Russia and China influencing them. Israel is essentially their military base. The root is middle eastern oil and Suez canal. Most proponents are just victims of propaganda. We're in a global economy, every market is intertwined. Why does U.K. own Gibraltar, why do they have territory on Cyprus.

Name 1 living standard that has gone down over 20 years or more("decades") You can't name one. That's your example of harm to the populace, you think this is a good example? You don't have a specific industry or company?

The e-mails suggest trump may have gave someone a blowjob You couldn't make a serious movie with this stuff.

I agree, but, the consumers also benefit from this, it is not a zero sum game. You're still assuming my position is libertetian, Austrian economics, I said it isn't. I do not mean "vote with your wallet". I mean people, everyone, DO vote with their wallet. I believe in regulation, not austrian economics. I think you pointing to specific examples and companies would help me show my viewpoint. Where are there no choices, where are companies violating the populace at large?

I don't ignore it, I acknowledge it, but you place too much strength behind it. Yes corporations brainwash people to a degree, but they are not literal zombies. Where is there no choice, point to something specific? I agree about financialization, I only disagree with the extent of the power you think it holds. Look at the tobacco industry's decay. They can, they only don't because they indeed do serve the people. Point to a specific example where a corporation is not serving the people. Look at the green movement, the oil lobby is arguably the strongest.

Vietnam War was started by France, America came later. My question was
