I guarantee this will be the case, as it's been the case every election since forever including 2020 when liberals were fear-mongering (like they always do) when they were out of power.

I know you're trying to defend the indefensible but the Doctor of Law from Yale held a gun to a prostitute's head while smoking meth, and RECORDED IT. He also sold his laptop full of incriminating evidence to a pawnshop. Again, wh

I was going to say this exactly. I would also group in "mis/disinformation" because it's such a clumsy phrase and people will often say both making it an even larger often-repeated verbal monstrosity. It's interesti

There's a shortage of air traffic controllers, and DEI policies have bungled hiring in the effort to constrain as much hiring as possible into minorities across practically every corporation.

When does the cut-off happen? Can I claim that I, because of my ancestors in Europe that were routinely bull-dozed by competing empires, deserve compensation?

Your argument for "crypto" applies to money. Money will lose 90% of its value over a century or so. In this case I don't have to "just hope someone else will pay more for it later" I know that money will be practi

Well Biden can't really give a speech due to being undeniably old to the point of incoherence (what led to him dropping his candidacy). Trump did Operation Warpspeed and created Space Force, and openly talked about that, he also openly

Thanks I came across Walter Bagehot in the book Price of Time which looks at interest rates and money throughout history. It turns out that interest rates are still manipulated by banks and governments whether it's gold or something el

The gold standard disincentivizes consumption, and incentivizes savings. Plain and simple. Of course corporations love consumerism, and that's what the central bank fiat regime has enabled: wanton consumption and dwindling away the wea

And of course the reason is that when fiat currency is institutionalized, interest rates drop because money is plentiful since it's being freely printed to fund anything and everything. Interest rates reflect the scarcity of money. Now

I think this reinforces my argument that liberals view it as indisputable that there is no bias in their favor in media and all their opinions are "merely reality."
