Just thinking: The 401k was NEVER meant to be a primary long term retirement account for the American *worker*. It was designed as a tax dodge for the business and corporate executives.

Everything you've just described has a name: "containment".
It describes the practice of "allowing" populist dissent to succeed as a pressure release to ward against society blowing up in their faces.
The public gets what they want, pressure dissipates, revolution is avoided, but behind the scenes the various deep states dismantle and de-fang the threat.
Brexit is the prefect example. It was never delivered and millions of immigrants were let in. Containment.

I think I had the correct Rick and Morty experience. I liked it but the 3rd season seemed forced. Lost track of it after that. Never got any merch. Never figured out the drama with the fanbase or the creator guy at all, but it sounded gay. It gave us the just x with extra steps meme so okay great. That's it.
But, what it is just funny to me that people would rather simp for a party or their personal caesar figure that they can't consider the possibility that there was an amount of allowance to ease public skepticism of the system. Someone that can be a scapegoat for the failures or be a unifying figure to start a war with to protect our 'Greatest Ally', but these people have learned nothing and will simp politics. Funny seeing all the senate leader shit now and them pushing whatever their media says
Others I talk to take this as a 'Too Big to Rig' situation... which I'd agree with had 2020 not happened and shown nakedly that their upper limit was 80 mil people. These people do not see the potential in Trump being absorbed if not partially so by the system or having already been an actor in it. Personally I think he's not necessarily a direct actor, but a more milktoast 90s made man wanting to draw some things back to that era. I doubt serious change coming along.
Obviously keeping in mind that the Republican Party is the primary adversary preventing change.
What this reeks to me is a few things. It is evident that they wanted Trump to win or more so that they had the capabilities of keeping him out. But they did not. This pretty much confirms that they want to dump their issues onto him or have him get White America together for a war.
Though it does seem perhaps that they wanted to let him in with control of house and senate. It could have been 'flipped' red, but something just tells me they wanted the margins slim for uniparty types to control.
But Magically they didn't have enough to get Kamala in. Even though 2020 proved otherwise that they had a higher upper limit.
So they did fortify the senate races in Swing States https://x.com/shylockh/status/1855872507271639539

@FinalDresdonation I listened to his podcast years ago when he had just started to date her. She started intruding on the podcast. First a little, then a lot, then she made herself a co-host, then she was pushing feminism and reconciling with your cheating wife.
He had every chance to get rid of her. It's like he got shot at in bullet time, but still took the bullet to the chest.
Funny how the day of and day after the election were the only days where this site had all mass media issues. Reeks of gayness
Anyone else's club broken with all images?

Lessons in Economics.
If you or those in your circle need a primer on economics from really basic to advanced, here are my recommendations in video format:
1. Uberboyo - What If The Banking System is About to Collapse? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUDmKrSUlSg
2. Academic Agent - The Complete Guide to Thomas Sowell's Books (including a Top Ten) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhyY0DpTlLk&list=PLO0MloTwGgjjPgqUQLcoV1oVc3mBxO7uF
Uberboyo does a fantastic job of taking the complete novice through relevant concepts and history, no jargon.
AA/Sowell - enough said
@Justicar There was never going to be big news. It was going to be a quiet implementation and trialing of the BRICS Pay systems in the partnered nations. You understand these things just have to move and be done like a normal every day thing to measure transactions, scaling, and networking right?

@Lorgar lol everyone is calling him out for using mostly Israeli sources.
A comment I found by sorting new:
"Better to listen to credible sources like:
1. Jon Elmer of Electronic Intifada
2. Colonel Jacques Baud
3. Scott Ritter
4. Colonel Douglas McGregor
5. Alexander Mercouris
6. Al Manar English Website
7. Elijah Magnier"
@Pain66 This shit isn't some religion centric thing. This is as simple as men st large being pussies & belief that non-physical conflict legalism will just solve the problems the hand should be solving. Ideally this should have not been allowed in the last century, but here we are w/ people pretending pre-nups or papers work in lieu of fists.
@Justicar Well, the basis of this is if there are hard times it is best to not be a cultural outsider. If people feel something bigger is going to happen in their life times it is a horrible idea to be a cultural outsider. Plus some people do want to be among their people. The last thing too is to legally settle elsewhere is a lot of resources on top of the resources spent at home to not be in high density living areas on top of these problems.
