But that's not all that people want. You don't want affordable housing, you want affordable housing in Austin or Chicago. The mass of people wanting this has a compounding effect. https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/46-Hubbard-Rd_Sylacauga_AL_35150_M88874-61173 Medicaid pays medical costs for poor people, most workers get medical paid for. Education is free at community College for poor people through Fafsa. And CHEAP for non-poor. Most people do not need college for income. It's being a super-consumer. People want this, a newer car, entertainment, dining, not working on their house or car, not growing any of their expensive food, not fixing their expensive clothes. And at mass scale, this has a compounding effect, the more super-consumers, the more prices snowball. Super-consumer. And you're not doing it out of effort, but by buying something, a degree, and residence in expensive locale. You can also just start a business with zero degree, go build houses, sub-contract, remodel.... Not true, some areas need more people, population increases actually bring down relative costs in some situations. Let alone lowering the costs in Austin and Chicago. Houses are vacant in areas. Piling into select cities is extremely inefficient, it also increases taxes because infrastructure needs grown. You cannot go by median income, most retired people own the most expensive homes, own, no mortgage. I'm not a liberterian, I believe in cooperation, social programs like medicaid, education, temporary housing, and taxing the heck out of corporations, Community ran free hospitals, something like California producing it's own insulin now, state level, not national, medical should be done at a local level, with federal funding to poor states like west virginia. I don't mean lazy workwise, I mean lazy in terms of putting effort into your life. They just go into debt to buy a new car and mcmansion after they get their gold-plated degrees and work 60 hours screwing off halfVirginia. I would argue the work culture you refer to is more of the "super-consumer" ideology, an infantilizing, 'go to work, buy everything and every service', 'only know your job'. The population doubled in 50 years, so each family, say from a grandparent level, building one house, would have kept housing at the same level, that's it, one new house per family(1 apartment per renting family, but we have more apartments now which is the problem) each family has two kids, but most couples have 2 people from 2 different families. I'll watch the video. Does it say why they build more? If not, why do you believe they do? NYC and London are older in regard to their population boom, see charts. Tokyo started in 1960, London and NYC started 100 years earlier, it's much younger so I think you would expect a greater capacity for new construction.

Make love, not turkey 😏

Do you think you drink enough? Dehydration causes hunger.

Healthy carbs https://www.businessinsider.com/31-year-old-burned-body-fat-eating-more-carbs-workouts-2025-11 "31-year-old man was eating too much protein. He cut his body fat percentage in half by eating more carbs and doing full-body workouts." "Jared Wakeford cut his body fat percentage from about 20% to 10% after switching to full-body workouts and a diet with more healthy carbs."

Fasting is so easy, if you haven't tried it. You'll get hungry but it never gets worse and then it goes away. I fast almost every week for about 40 hours once or twice. I think it reduces how much you eat otherwise too, psychologically, you're more aware of how little you need. People tend to eat way too fast too, causing them to over-eat. Reading or conversation while eating is an easy way to slow down. And trying to chew more, it sounds weird, but most people don't chew anywhere close to how much they should, because we eat so much softer food than what humans used too.

I don't think he'll finish, but i have no confidence in my opinion. I think he'll die. But if he doesn't, i would lean toward him resigning for vance to pardon him. There's continuously mounting pressure to impeach him, the Venezuela thing could easily do it if Europe ever speaks the hell up. He was almost convicted his first term with several republican senators voting to convict him.

Not what I said. Read the quote, put down the drugs. wItH aLl DuE aSpEc!

You have to find the right sub-culture. You seem to really value this, other people do too. You need to find your tribe. Most people that do volunteer work tend to be sincerely compassionate, maybe check out some volunteer opportunities and find people.

@zazen Japans growth is slower, u.s. doubled in last 50 years. See chart I still say your doomer attitude of the system is unfounded. 1, obviously the people can and are readjusting, making the market adjust. 2, I think all of your worries are purely based in a super-consumer mindset. There are cheap areas to live in the u.s., everyone wants to live where they make the most money though, this is related to too many people going halfway across the country to a party school and then growing roots there. Sure, I'm suggesting people, some people, could live a "poorer" lifestyle, move to Albuquerque, or the south, but not poorer in the sense of lower standards than the near past, just poorer than today's commercialized standards. And, there's massive opportunity for young people, in construction. This may seem trivial, but in a globalizing world we could be much worse off with much more offshoring. The market will/is correcting itself, people are resisting though, slowing it down, too entitled to adapt to a changing world, too deluded to settle for less than what's on instagram. This is not a systemic problem, it's cultural. How many grandparents and parents hand down their houses, any kind of inheritance, and those that do their kids sell the houses and blow the money, houses should stay in families, grandparents down to grandkids or whatever, making life easier for successive generations, this isn't a government problem. In 50 years, every family only needed to build 1 more house, the population has doubled, is 50 years too short to build one house for a family! It only makes sense that relative home prices would increase in a rapidly growing area, it's ridiculous to suggest otherwise, all while homes are getting bigger and better too. The 08' crisis was caused by something that was producing more houses than people could actually afford, a band-aid, perhaps there was a better way to increase housing units but perhaps not. Either way, Americans are lazy and entitled, and completely capable of changing this dynamic without special governmental acts of god; go into construction, quit buying garbage, live in as cheap an area as you can practically find, honestly, no need for college right now for most people, learn at the library(don't be an idiot(not for a degree or anything)). Of course raise taxes on the rich, and invest in schools, infrastructure, healthcare, ban risky banking, and corporate home ownership, yadda yadda, normal democrat stuff, I agree with all that. Creating a socialist nanny state does the same thing as 08'. People need to think for themselves and be responsible. Creating a system of infantilization creates slaves, drones, zombies, idiots. This current downturn can be a good thing, breaking people out of the nanny system. Screw corporations and all that, but don't wait for your nanny government, people need to do it themselves now.

I mean the first graph here. I'm still reading the rest of your post.

You can remove him, it's getting close but we need more congressmembers still. He was almost impeached and convicted his first term. Best thing to do is not vote him in.... The problem is more than trump, it's republican voters.

For people that don't know, American oil cartels are funding these culture war people, Dunn and Wilkes funded Kirk, they fund Praeger, fox news, everything. Cutting your oil use isn't just good for the environment.

Why do you believe in your faith?🥱

The investments are mostly in infrastructure, not scientific research. The investments to get to AGI would be into places like M.I.T., not data centers. The DotCom bubble was from an over-investment in infrastructure ,from companies like AT&T, fiber optics, networks, etc. These things helped later on, but they didn't have the operational costs of these data centers, not just utilization electricity, but even just the real estate. Investors are not going to keep their money tied up in businesses that don't turn a profit, there's actually profitable companies to invest in The investments in the 90s internet or 1800s railroad or 1900s electrical grid were after the invention, not before.

He said law doesn't exist.

A McDonalds fry cook is essentially a CEO in comparison. People will never be satisfied, it's not just Bezos with how big a yacht he needs.

Here's Altman the hype man "In 2005, at the age of 19,[20] Altman co-founded Loopt,[21] a location-based social networking mobile application. As CEO, he raised more than US$30 million in venture capital for the company, including an initial investment of US$5 million from Patrick Chung of Xfund and his team at New Enterprise Associates, followed by investments from Sequoia Capital and Y Combinator.[22] In March 2012, after Loopt failed to gain significant user traction, the company was acquired by the Green Dot Corporation for $43.4 million.[23] Y Combinator In 2011, Altman became a partner at startup accelerator Y Combinator (YC), initially working on a part-time basis.[24] In February 2014, he became president of YC.[25] Altman aimed to expand YC to fund 1,000 new companies per year and sought to broaden the types of companies funded, particularly focusing on "hard technology" startups.[26] In October 2015, Altman was involved in expanding YC's scope. He contributed $10 million to the initial fund of Y Combinator Research, and announced YC Continuity, a fund to invest" "https://www.thetimes.com Sam Altman and husband fund startup to edit babies' genes Nov 13, 2025 — The Open AI boss and his husband, Oliver Mulherin, have invested in the startup Preventive, which aims to genetically engineer children" Typically with revolutionary breakthroughs, a 'genius' of sort is out front; think Gates, Jobs, Edison, Tesla, Zuckerberg, not a venture capitalist. Tech bros can raise money, but AGI requires genius. Pair all of this with data centers being underwater and losing money hand over fist.

A president has the ability to pardon anyone for any federal crime.

I don't think Fuentes was on the decline before this, they did it because he's bringing in Kirk's followers, already. I think getting banned from everything already did what you're worried about.

The first car to drive itself across America was in 2001, in 2015 Musk promised FSD in 5 years, he's arguably not gotten closer in an appreciable way, Waymo is expanding it's market very gradually. AI is not close to being a panacea. Self driving is simpler than robotics, it's 2 dimensional, the hype around these things is for investment, it's a con. AI will work it's way into production in all kinds of ways, the result on people will be determined by taxation. If corporations are taxed more, think utopia, better working conditions, free education, more creative and inventive careers, lower prices, space travel, cleaner environment. If corporations are continued to be given the advantage over individuals, think more mad max, wars, terrorism, genocide, more like Stahlins USSR.

The purpose of these resolutions is for the right-side to condemn it, therefore tamping down politicians moving that direction. You might have groypers rallying behind some politicians, this would hurt that.
