  1.  @vinniechan  That is a red herring. Don't conflate local credit unions with corporate banks. Big banks DO NOT create competition, they stifle it. Thomas Jefferson warned about the dangers of banking institutions getting as powerful as they are today.

  2. The Gorbachev-Reagan agreements came AFTER the close call of the Able Archer Exercise as well as the Soviet False Alarm scare. Much like with JFK, it took a close call for the two sides to pull back from the brink.

  3.  @Pointi69  Pipe dream. Hydrogen is produced by consuming energy from cheaper sources, so all you are doing is moving the deck chairs on the Titanic. Nuclear power on the other hand, has been running on the cores of dismantled nuclear weapons for the past 30 years. That is why the US doesn't have many active Uranium mines: there is enough Uranium and plutonium to run civilian nuclear for decades.

  4.  @giovanni-cx5fb  Yes, and Bolivia is STILL an economic basket case. The ONLY people that benefit from nationalization is the kleptocrats in government, never the people. The "Benefits" you claim to have receive are nothing more than table scraps they have thrown you to appease you.

  5. I think the polls have been completely wrong since at least 2016.

  6. He was not on the ballot in 2018, that is a false canard by rabid Trump hater (TDS). Nor was he on the ballot in 2022.

  7. No, this is what corporate oligarchs do to game the system and extract value without putting anything into the system. True capitalism doesn't require government to bailout the people responsible. Capitalism allows the foolish to fail before they can get too big to threaten the entire system.

  8.  @Lili_C.S.  "everyone will have a high unconditional basic ίncοme, free housing, free high-quality healthcare and education" That is the exact same lie Vladimir Lenin said when he took power in Russia. How well did that work out? The Ukrainians refuse to go back to it.

  9.  @Lili_C.S.  All the exact same talking points used before. Your "worker's paradise" is a delusional fantasy. Smarter men and women have tried what you propose and failed; history is littered with examples. Yours will be no different.

  10. Bush and Trump derangements syndrome is not a good look. Say what you want about Bush, but Trump didn't start any wars, and nobody try starting any trouble while Trump was in office. Ask yourself why Putin waited until Biden got into office.

  11.  @of218  Yeah, a crime in which the FEDS have jurisdiction chose not to pursue. Bragg is acting outside of his authority.

  12. Shale Oil boom came about because of the Saudis doing this crap.

  13. It does, but government constantly interfere, which results in them creating the very problems they claim to be fixing.

  14.  @JeanPierreVenson  I agtee with you on that. No less that 50% of deposits should be on hand. Sadly, the Feds allow banks to only hold 10%. In effect, the banks simply add zeros to the balance sheet to create fake money out of thin air with nothing to back it up; no assets nor collateral. If private citizens did that, we would go to prison for Pyramid Schemes.

  15.  @blackoak4978  "Hundres of Thousands of dollars"? You clearly have been drinking the Kool-Aid.

  16. Funny, because under Trump there were no new wars and things were getting more peaceful. especially with the Abraham Accords. Then Biden enters office and the War in Ukraine kicks off.
