I added this here instead of the economy thread only because this is U.S. centered and I believe the information is more important to voters than the usual stupid blue anon q anon drama..

John Ford: "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution."
Politicians' profession is voter bribery, and for that they need more money than they have themselves, thats why they abuse and spend the money of others, namely that of their later victims. Cutting it short, the mechanism of how to get that money, are central banks and FIAT money regimes. Both inflate the amount of currency units in circulation and help redistributing real property from the have-littles to the have-much. To wait for the Fed confronting the government therefore implies the institution will disobey the very purpose and mission it was build for. How liklely is that...? And thats not only the FED, but every central bank there is. Voter bribery is the name of the game, and it lured Western democracies into overspending. Personally I think the damges by now are so high and unimagibaly monumental that the system is beyond repair. Even more so since their is no insight at the politicians' level. They all do clever plans and clever words to look electable. But that is a deception only. Debts are too high in totals. You cannot recover from them. You can only hope to delay drowning in them until you are close to your biologcally inherent death anyway. Fixing tzhe debt crisis is one fo the thigns where I indeed think that it is a totally hopeless case. In 2020, the total global debts climbed to 226 trillion dollar. Thats 256% of the total global GDP. (Source: ICF Global Debt Database 2021/22).

Some of my American friends here and on FB are complaining about the high age of the Candidate.
Why do they put their vote on them ? There must be some other candidate who is young. Like Kennedy was when he became President in 1961. Markus

Obviously there are not legit alternatives to Biden.
Even the Dems by majority do not want him, say he is too old - but they seem to agree that they have the by far best chances with him only. However, only running by a slogan of "I am not Trump" may be a bit too little this time for Biden to win again.

The chance for this is astronomical little-As you wrote earlier they, both Dems and Reps, have pumped billions of dollars into this bribery of the American voters. Markus

Like all of the other GOP "blockbuster" investigations of the past (Whitewater, Benghazi, etc., etc. ...) this "ChiCom" link will most likely end with no one in the DEMs being seriously affected, if at all, and leave the GOP with yet another embarrassing failed investigation; shouldn't be too surprising, since the GOP hooked up with the ultimate loser, Trump, and is now having to deal with their fat, orange Albatross... The GOP is royally screwed in 2024; if the GOP puts up Trump as a candidate, they will continue to lose the White House and, mostly, have whatever tenuous hold they have on the House vanish again; Trump has already demonstrated, twice, he cannot get a plurality, much less a majority of the popular vote, even when he and the GOP made a full court press in the 2020 Election; Trump only won the EC in2016 because he gamed the Electoral System and was given a huge boost by Hillary's over-confident neglect regarding the same; Trump never was, and never will be, the choice of the majority of voters in the US, and, given the growing rumblings in his own party's ranks, he has probably even less appeal and support with the Party's voters in 2024; hell, right now, just about anyone could defeat Trump, even Clinton, if she were to face off against him again... As of this writing, Trump seems to be the de facto nominee of the GOP in the 2024 Presidential Election. Why? Because he's gonna game the Primary system like he did in 2016. Remember, almost all the states where the GOP has Primaries, the races are 'winner takes all', meaning a GOP candidate in those states doesn't have to get a majority of the votes in those states in order to claim all the delegates for those states, he/she only has to get the most votes of any other candidate on the ballot in those states; say you have five candidates on the ballot and they equally split the vote, 20% of the votes to each, but one gets 20%+1 vote, making them the winner of all the delegate votes in that state, yet the fact is 80% of that states voters opted for someone else, hardly making the 'winner' the peoples real choice at all; Trump just has to make sure his minions can secure at least the bare minimum of a win in each state and he harvests all of the delegate votes, ensuring he will be the nominee... ...and the other way the GOP is royally screwed is if they somehow manage to prevent Trump from screwing up their 2024 prospects and deny him a nomination, you just know Trump will start a campaign of his own, probably some sort of a MAGA derivative, and siphon off votes from whoever the GOP nominates in his place; Trump's ego is too big and his penchant for vengeance to strong to allow the optic of being slighted by his own party to go unchallenged... Watching the news about Biden's run for reelection, I wondered if Biden's move isn't just a bit of a 'rope-a-dope' against the GOP; Biden announces he's running, the the Trumpettes push for the GOP to nominate Trump, a very weakened candidate at best, and, once Trump is locked in, Biden and the DEMs find some reason for Biden to drop out and run another DEM in his place; as I said almost anyone can beat Trump in his current condition, and the GOP would be faced with having to replace Trump as a countermeasure only to then face Trump as a 'spoiler' if he decides to 'get even' with the GOP; the GOP should look long and hard at they way they intend to select their nominee in 2024... <O>

Meanwhile as team red and team blue battle over pointless arguments, rope-a-dopes, low hanging fruit and one liners about a senile old man jacked up on Adderall to help him remember how to string two words together, his crackhead son and a load mouthed entertainer who doesn’t know when to stop talking.

San Francisco Bay Area’s economy is collapsing. Probably why California’s homelessness increased 42% while other states declined by 9%.
https://layoffs.fyi/ Government keeps on with uncontrolled spending injecting more and more currency into the money supply and causes inflation. And until people wise up to that fact YOU will keep paying the price for and the ones feeling the pain. Jerome Powell says the Fed is ready to ‘bring some pain’ to households and businesses. ‘These are the unfortunate costs of reducing inflation’ https://fortune.com/2022/08/26/jerom...-jackson-hole/ Quote:

So you’re waiting for longer lines at the pump? That was caused by OPEC sanctions protesting the United States’ support for Israel in the Yom Kippur War.
But thanks to naive American voters not paying attention to our congress there has been decades of unbridled government spending and increasing government debt. Thanks to those elites they just pin the pain on you. There is inflation, people are losing jobs and lay-offs, major retailers are closing up shops and moving to safer states, banks are closing, major metropolitan areas are turning into drug havens and war zones, homelessness increasing. People now turning to credit cards more than ever just to make ends meet. A corporate run on banks drying up future loans. I could go on.

The wealthiest are getting the tax breaks on the backs of working class. Every republican president in modern history has pushed congress to cut taxes for the wealthy while cutting services for everyone else in order to make up shortfalls.
The gas line remark was a jab at Miami.

Wasn’t one of Biden’s key campaign promises to repeal the Trump tax cuts? If I remember there was great wailing and gnashing of teeth over it. So why didn’t Biden and the Democrat controlled house and senate at the time repeal Trump’s tax cuts?
Trump Tax Cuts Set to Win Staying Power as Democrats Drop Plans - Bloomberg And now you know why the tax cuts are there and why nobody in either party will not do anything of any significance about it. And why should they when you keep voting for the same ones over and over and over and over again. Go team Rope-a-dope! Interesting thing about the two videos is the Democrats blamed ‘they’. Trump at least had the balls to tell you the truth.
