I had literally never heard of this until today. What the actual fuck?

The system is working as expected, want it to stop, demilitarize the police.

True, what ended up happening is that I was interested enough to click on it and then got hit with a paywall, but was not interested enough to actually go to archive to find it.

Edit: thx for the link

Paywalled, don’t click.

LOL. That will teach them not to stop shooting down your drones for sure.

It’s true that they could be armed next time, but I think not arming any of them would not be the way to go, because if they don’t arm any of them, then the other country might get the idea that they won’t arm them at all and stop shooting them down.

That is a good point. You don’t have to arm all of them. You just have to arm at least one. And then they all have to be shot down because they don’t know which one is the armed one.

Right, so if each drone that they launched cost $2,000 a piece, that means Iran spent About half a million dollars in order to make Israel spend two billion dollars. I had said in a previous comment on another post that I suspected it was an economic wrist slap rather than a military one.

Oh, but we have a pathological need to smash people we don’t like! Of course we don’t want the free market because then the free market doesn’t need us.

Monero. 0.85% inflation and decreasing all the time

From what i understand molten salt reactors are quite safe as well .

I did not say there weren’t downturns. We never had a great depression until we had the Federal Reserve. So, they have caused them to be worse. Before, when a business acted irresponsible, they went bankrupt and closed their doors, and the people who invested in that business lost money. However, now, in general, businesses are not allowed to fail, and zombie companies are continuing to exist and not being culled. Eventually, they do fail, but when they do, it’s way worse because now instead of a couple failing, there’s tens of thousands at once.

buy silver then or buy only part of an ounce of gold but still buy something because it will go down in price but it won’t stay down. You are most likely right about people not being aware, though. Most people have no idea what. “The fed raised interest rates” actually means for them.

If you don’t prepare for it, absolutely. If you are prepared for it, recessions are actually a really great thing. Just like rain, you know it’s going to rain, so you bring an umbrella to work with you so you don’t get wet.

Edit: To be fair, if we did not have central banks and we’re using a gold standard, then we would not have to worry about depressions and booms and busts, because we would have inflation of roughly 1% per year, depending on how much gold we could physically mine. Fiat currency and central banks cause booms and busts and transfer money from the poor to the wealthy.

We will go through a recession and that is a fact. Anyone who is not keeping some cash on the side to buy perfectly good assets (like gold) at bargin prices in the next year or so is crazy.
