@GW The lack of economic progress for decades by the middle class certainly contributed to their willingness to be swayed by the indoctrination. Also, our systemic racism was fertile ground for Trump’s brand of otherness.

Runyan50 (runyan50@newsie.social)'s status on Tuesday, 21-May-2024 06:20:40 JST Runyan50 @Lazarou @FantasticalEconomics Yes. I am beginning to believe the capitalist system contributes to the violence in our sanctioned political relations, in our criminal violence and in our worsening mental health. Now that it is destroying our environment, we must end it.

People won’t like it because we will have to say “NO” to some powerful oligarchs, but the time has come. Also, let’s start measuring Gross National Happiness.

If they use real violence against a ship there, they will be attacked by both subsonic and supersonic missiles simultaneously. Those missiles could be fired by the Navy, but this ostentatious placement by the Army is a line in the sand so to speak. The Tomahawk’s ability to hit the Chinese mainland is a bonus.

This provides anti-ship and land attack cruise missiles out to 1,000 miles and supersonic anti-ship missiles out to the extent of the Philippines economic zone. China’s move.

That’s their business. The problem I have is people shouting their standards like kindergarten teachers constantly.

It means a combination of other taxes and poor services. Companies know that it is difficult to recruit mobile employees to areas with poor education, roads, crime and pollution.

Runyan50 (runyan50@newsie.social)'s status on Monday, 28-Aug-2023 05:26:30 JST Runyan50 @Free_Press The Republican goal is to cause chaos so that democracy can be replaced with authoritarianism. Everything they do supports this outcome. Republicans have not voted yes on anything to strengthen our democracy for decades, probably before Reagan.
