Bears can also run very fast and much faster than humans.
is not as easy as saying they are a socialist or far right or wall st puppet etc.
This is very true. For many years the politicians in the west have ran out of ideas and no longer really hold to these ideologies. I think this is largely due to the failure of the ideologies to solve the problems of our day and the past. Yet, the media still calls people by these names in an attempt to discredit them... I guess. I doubt it is working as well as they think it is.
Think of all the people calling Musk a Nazi. Honestly, I don't know what Musk is but the Nazi label isn't helpful. It is simply a slur. One problem is that people think in very simplistic ways. Someone could be an old school democrat or republican and still be a tyrant. Look what happened during Covid. The systems we have build as societies are the true tyranny.
Yes, Trump is pushing the edges to get done what he wants to get done but the system isn't gonna sit quietly by and do nothing. There is a war happening and these slurs like Nazi and Commie aren't helpful.
It is wild why people think Musk is terrible. Its often boils down to they don't like what he's doing. Never mind the fact that the President put him in the place and the citizens and their "representatives" have allowed the executive branch to expand its power and influence for decades. I suspect when Trumps crew leaves we will see the same sort of executive power used to swing things back in the old direction or many a worse direction.
As an American that views all governments as illegitimate and believes in human liberty it is hard for me to listen to any news from Europe and believe it at face value. Any political movement to the right of Bill Clinton is called far right or worse. It seems to me that many European countries are slowly rolling into left-wing authoritarianism. Obviously there are nationalists movements gaining ground that are not from the left and this is further evidence of how far left the culture has moved. How tired many Europeans are of the EU and its policies. All that said, its hard for me to think I actually understand what is going on when I get the feeling I'm being BS'd all the time by the European establishment. Much like the US establishment they have lost all credibility.
The obvious example is someone like Trump. While he has said and done some good things that align with bitcoiner's views he clearly can't be trusted and is doing plenty of things many of us do not align with. The popular positions are to hate him or love him. Looking at his with skepticism isn't nearly as popular.
This sounds bad. I'm sure many of you have noticed this before but its very easy for people to drop their skepticism of government once a politician seems to believe what they believe. At the same time, it is easy for people to not acknowledge good things these people can do. We humans seem to lack the skepticism that is needed.
Yes, trees, bushes, flowers, and a vegetable garden. Of late we've been trying to get our stone fruit trees going. Looking like we will have more fruit this year (2nd year with the tree).
IMO I don't care about words. It's action and violence that's the problem. When the state has a monopoly on violence and at the same time denies the people their right to defend themselves and their property... that is the problem.
Best response. Also, it's centrally planned price fixing. A floor as you said. I have teen sons and know many busines owners and the wage floor does hurt those with low skill the most. Not just young people but those with disabilities as well. Like most government programs sold as good for the people it is the opposite. The market fixes this.
There's no time, it either comes up naturally or doesn't. Never push into it. If the convo leads into a direction naturally I will tease it and see. But that's me.
Good luck with this guys. You can't stop 3d printering of anything. It's not hard work around anything they would throw up. Open source parts will make this impossible to do. The battle is already lost, this clown just doesn't know it.
Was just talking about this with some friends today. I've always been more on the accuracy side but wanted to be faster.
