It's not really his puppet, she's a wanna be imperialist collaborator. She wants to sell her country off for a little slice of the profits, she's hoping someone will take her up on the offer and install her as president

Yes, yes... Let the frustration flow through you. Whine even more, threaten all the jobs

No it's not. It's wage theft, plain and simple

I'd say this is par for the course. Technology has made it much more public and more rapid fire

Also the complexity of modern society resists change. We have layers of procedure, checks and balances, even logistical realities that slow or disperse the kind of blunt demands being made at the top

So there's a lot of stupid but effective things they could do back then, where today the same things are stupid and pointless

Exactly. And on a related note, they're going by Liberty voting now

It's like, the opposite of scalping. You can look at anything through the terms of markets and opportunity costs, but most of it is myths about how the world works

There's no exchange here, there's no loss, only gain. A shell that's too big isn't an investment, it's a danger. The crab that waved the others down doesn't benefit more than any other crab, it's just a mutually beneficial redistribution of shells

Yeah, seems like it. My guess is that RFK pulled the trigger and fired the CDC employees, then Trump (or more accurately the last person Trump spoke to) freaked out and said "this is really really bad, these are the people who stop pandemics" and then they scrambled to reverse it

I mean, it's not like they do it through proper channels, they're just mass emailing their orders and going back on vacation

It's not over yet... So far, their wins have only come from people complying in advance

Oh no, it's really bad when things are shrinking outside the bubble

When the housing market collapses, investors can move money into stocks, bonds, alternate forms of debt, or even just liquid currency

When everything else is falling and the bubble pops, the money is going to go overseas, which is just going to make the pop bigger

This wasn't a step in the right direction through... It was a massive hand out to insurance and healthcare systems, and in exchange they couldn't deny people for preexisting conditions

Obamacare made it so doctors average like 3 minutes in paperwork for every minute in front of a patient. Negotiating with insurance companies is far more than that, so it basically killed private practice

Now we have massive health systems meant to squeeze out profit and insurance companies that can use AI to dictate what care you get... The two sides of a system "meant" to be adversarial checks on each other are just screwing people from both sides

Outside of AI, it's already shrinking

They all just don't want to be the first company to admit how bad things are

tail lashes in agitation, destroying rows of waiting room furniture

"Please doctor, you have to try!"

Security officer runs into the room, pauses, slowly lowers taser
