The issues of the world......

[Red05]

Another thread, same topic?

Note, that I have raised the white flag on this topic with you, but I am curious about this post. You are now replying to your own posts and talking to yourself. Really weird, and just curious?

I dug up the old post to quote in the Israel thread, didn’t realize it switched me over to the issues thread. Later I thought the post didn’t take so I typed it up again in the Israel thread. My error, no more.
I raise my flag as well, and by the way I’m not always above talking to myself lol.

Don't worry........................In the end, we will ALL own NOTHING and be HAPPY remember.
We will completely dependant on government for food, shelter, and funds to live..................and we will also be enslaved by it as well.

It's funny I was just watching "margin call" a classic movie about money manipulation that triggered the RMBS meltdown and soon after was the GFC. Debt was of course employed to paper over the debacle but that just added to the long term problem. In a real way people are today paying interest and debt on food they ate a year or two ago, funny when you think about it. I remember too when the supermarkets wouldn't accept CC transactions for food, but then they had to lol. Where will it all end, no doubt with what you expressed in your comment.

The sad part of that movie. It was a depiction of real life circumstances that exist in our equity markets. Wall Street regulators learned nothing from it. The same faults in our system that allowed the failure of 08, still exist today. We have banks and equity funds over leveraged all over again. They just kick the can down the road.

The movie Dumb Money about GameStop, showed it happening all over again. Funds get caught, and go belly up, and everyone else has to pay the cost of the losses. If the governing bodies of Wall Street weren't corrupted, the rules would work to keep a stable equity market. Instead we are losing the faith of investors worldwide.

Yeah well I think the majority of investors have no choice now, since 1980, the peak of interest rates coincidentally, everyone Worldwide was herded into private pensions that naturally employ the Share and property markets. They have untold trillions in there now, and here's the funny thing.

If you owned an apple tree and every week more and more people came to you demanding apples, what would you do? You'd put the price up, naturally. The same thing has happened with stocks, every week or every month hundreds of Billions globally is withdrawn from earnings and goes looking to buy them, naturally the prices get bid up, regardless of what the underlying company is worth. What happens to that wealth thereafter in quite convoluted and interesting but it certainly doesn't all stay in the companies. Neither are the shares themselves legally owned by the people contributing, they have beneficial ownership, which puts them last in a long line of entities that have demands on the wealth. Those were new laws instigated a while ago too.

Then you have the manipulation of stock splits, all companies with booming share prices do that now and its obscures what the prices really are, or were. It's all highly engineered to give the impression of stability but we know from the 2008 GFC that it's all a house of cards. Half that "wealth" can vanish in a few weeks, and of course by the rules of engagement a person can't withdraw or modify their private pension quickly, there is a two or more week delay. Oh the people at the top of this pyramid have set it up well. It's one huge grift just waiting to go down. Of course when it happens it will have a cover story, like the GFC only more convincing. That story was so lame, a hedge fund and an insurance company fails and the world's markets collapse, yeah, as if

The next big crash can't be far away...

Nov 2 (Reuters) - Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway extended their retreat from stocks in the third quarter, further slashing holdings in Apple and boosting cash to a record $325.2 billion.
In its quarterly report on Saturday, Berkshire said it sold about 100 million, or 25%, of its Apple shares over the summer, ending with about 300 million. Berkshire has now sold more than 600 million of the iPhone maker's shares in 2024, though Apple remained its largest stock holding, at $69.9 billion.

Cash is good. It can be moved anywhere with the click of mouse, instantly.

I remember watching the TOLL Brothers sell out the majority stake in their housing company in the lead up to the US housing crash back in the 00's. It was so obvious what was going on but the media spin it as "Profit taking." Buffett and Gates were moving vast sums then too, into their save the world private Gates Foundation, which of course they both controlled. They both has massive taxable share holdings but by using the Foundation, avoided all Tax. After the crash Buffett was a big buyer of bank stocks, they were cheap as chips. The media spun it as "Buffett is behind the US banks and you should be too" He got special insider deals special prices and options. Too Big to Fail.

Who controls Gates Foundation? Based in Seattle, Washington, the foundation is led by CEO Mark Suzman, under the direction of co-chairs Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates and the board of trustees. Though Buffett has left the fund now, it served its purpose. Once the shares were donated back in the 00's who knows what happened to them, No taxes then, they were probably sold before the crash and the cash moved through Cayman Island banks. This next collapse will be HUGE! Might not be a recovery either, not for many many years.

Hi. This will fix all the problemes with the world! ( it will not fix my spelling ) The UN's AGENDA 2030. Summit of the Future. Our common agenda. Think about the futute and a harmless pact to protect humanity with our best interest is this a technocratic vision of golbal governance? They could get ride of poverty better health better education [ every one could spell better than me ] reduce inequality help climare change. Who hete does not want this? There ate 2 other documents with this The global digital Compact. What is this for the future? It will in cover pease and security, sustainable development, climate change, digital cooperation AKA ( clamping down on free speech, human rights. This wad adopted bu the by the UN. This will be great for us! Do you not want the rich to get richer? Do you not want the poor to have more? There may have to be forcefuk redistribution of money, food, property and rights.Just like

Good old communism. With this the billions in the middle getten colder, poorer, hungier and enslaved. CoMMUNISM was never about equality. The new version whitch is deceptively called stakeholder capitalism is not about equality either. This is Clous Schwabs ( you will own nothing and you will be happy )
No you won't you will be miserable, weak and obedient! So this will be so great for us all!!!! OH by the way no motorcycles for anyone but tje super rich. Rember this.

Man, you’re not even trying. Trying is free.

Is it me or does there seem to be more and more "beta males" these days?

I was just out doing errands and it seemed like every second younger male I encountered had a man-bun and man-purse slung over his shoulder and just by looking at him he looked like an over cooked noodle, slovenly and almost "hippie" like.....and any of them that were accompanied by a woman, it was very obvious she was in charge.......there was zero equality evident to me....I noted this when I followed along behind them heading to a specific area

I don't get this trend at all........heaven forbid the current wars expand and we have to rely on these people to defend our freedoms....

YIKES!

That's what happens when all the food is full of hormones... I don't eat anything from a grocery store. It's mostly poison.

I've watched this and called it as coming for the last 25 years.
Watching 'men' cave to what women thought they wanted, soft pricks who will listen to girly music, dress how the girls wanted them to, and did whatever they were told...as this seemed to be the easiest path for many to get laid.
Now, we see Alot of women on social media wanting to know where all the Real Men are...lmao...We are with the women who wanted real men a long time ago, and raised our sons to be the same...so they aren't interested in the self-centered demands of most modern women.
And that men and women are equals bs.
Men and women are Both equally important, and should be paid the same if they do the same job equally as well as the other...but we genetically have different strengths and weaknesses, and one compliments the other.
Most women now speak of how they want a man who will not only provide for them(even though they are independent with their own careers)...but they want a man who can protect them...and that sissy boy toy of yours aint it, lmao.
The indoctrination of society is now reaping it's rewards.
Not everyone is a mechanic either, and that is perfectly fine...but if you can't change a tire...you don't need a man card...and have no one to blame but yourself...as most watch everything but how-to on youtube now days.
Rant over.

 

[sixpack577]

And if you ladies want to see what a Real Man looks like...This is it!
So learn to love it, because it's the Best thing going today!

lmao

There is also some science behind this. Testosterone levels in men as a whole is far less than it was a generation ago.

It's the food. We'll see if RFK jr cleans up the FDA like he says he will.

 

[sixpack577]

Yep, amazing how the same popular processed foods are sold here and in Europe, yet their versions have only the first several same ingrediants listed, and that's it.
But here, the ingrediant list goes on and on, full of chemicals that serve what purpose exactly?
And the same chemicals that are Banned in European countries.
Makes more sense when you realize that the U.S is the only country in the world that allows pharmacutical drugs to be advertised on tv, and that the same major corporations that own the food industry...own the drug industry, but don't worry...there's a pill for that...
It's also sad what 'physical fitness' requirements in P.E. classes in school are today, if any, compared to a few decades ago.
As well as how low of a percentage of 'men' at any age work out regulary, or are in decent physical condition, especially young men.
And back to RFK jr; have you seen that guy with his shirt off?
In his 60's and still buff with abs...that should Really shame this generation, as well as motivate them to what's possible.
Oh well.

 

[Bumblebee]

I think we are in big trouble here in the west....

As a former soldier of 3rd generation lineage, my mind always goes to "what if we had to go to war" and honestly I don't have a lot of faith in this generation's ability to generate a fighting force....

...........and our enemies know this as their families and members live amongst us and see this first hand......

We do have our group of "rednecks" but they are few and far between and our current government is doing it's best to make them extinct.

The "Trucker Convoy" was a slice of this group and our government slammed them hard in proper socialist fashion....

Arseholes like this only get away with these things because the generation that defeated the nazis are all old and dying off and the generations that came behind aren't honoring their legacy....

Too bad a few of the greatest generation weren't able to show people like this what they did to nazis first hand.....

There's no place in society for people like this-freedom of speech be damned....this goes beyond that freedom.
