It took two years to do the transformation. Do you think it'll be difficult to do another transformation when the time comes?

Actually the 100 families that "control" the world do so because they are obscenely wealthy due to inherited wealth and familial connections. Some of them just happen to be Jewish, so there's no point in focussing on that fact.

Look through this list and find how many of them have Jewish heritage.

Sorry, I wasn't explaining myself well.

Just because a story isn't factually true, doesn't mean that it has no value, or negative value. There are other types of values which can supersede factual value:

  • aesthetic
  • symbolic
  • ethical
  • didactic

Truth isn't always about facts. Sometimes factual statements can be used as a weapon of deceit.

If a narrative is not literally true, does that mean it has no truth value?

Oh, that explains the myth that Adam and Eve at an apple, when a specific fruit is never mentioned.

I see economists complaining about variations of this policy being bad, e.g. leading to food desserts.

Sounds delicious. Let us eat cake.

What's a word for when everyone is laboring, but no one is getting paid?

Success is a combo of luck and work.

And connections. Grow and lean on your network, fellas.

For me personally, I want to limit interactions with my phone by ~~reading notifications on my wrist~~ increasing interactions with my watch

That just sounds like interactions with your phone but with extra steps.

I guess that's why they call it capitalism.

We don't know the size of the section, or the quality of the job.

So that could be: "God damn, that's cheap!" or "God damn, that's expensive!"

If he is getting tips, then it may actually be reasonable. Genuine question, do Americans normally tip the people who mow their lawns?
