Doge wants to cut $2 trillion per year.

Single mothers cost the taxpayer $421 billion annually.

On a related note, I've always like Paul Elam and he's getting more based with age.

Here he is discussing the Western tradition of dowry and how you can draw a clear line from the abolition of dowries and the introduction of Romantic Love to a $421 billion liability.

@Justicar

I'll just leave this here ..

@DoubleD @TenaciousGoat @Stahesh

Yes that's why I used the term "hyper-inflating". Housing is inflationary by default, but govt has many ways to boost scarcity and demand.

Incentivizing divorce and the court system to split families up has just been one way.

@DMA

I found the Tower of God anime very confusing from a continuity perspective. Kinda ruined my enjoyment.

Anyway, let me know how the install/download goes. I hope it works out.

@DMA

I use Android/Linux so I'm not sure what options you have for IOS manga readers.

Whatever app you use, set the format to webtoon and enjoy the fuck out of Solo Leveling.

I warn you it's highly addictive and I take no responsibility for you ditching your normal daily life while you read it.

@DMA

OK, I don't know how technical you are but here goes anyway, it's a solid way to get manga without the bullshit.

Github: https://github.com/metafates/mangal

Open the Terminal app and enter this command to install mangal:

curl -sSL mangal.metafates.one/install | sh

Once you've installed it enter the following command to download all 170-odd chapters in cbz format

mangal inline -S Mangadex --query "Solo Leveling" --manga first all --download --format cbz

Transfer to your phone and read in webtoon

@DMA

MacOS?

@DMA

What platforms do you use - Android, IOS, Linux, Windows?

@DMA

You've read the manga?

@TenaciousGoat @Stahesh

It's my hunch that property price rises were deliberatey inflated.

Technology is inherently deflationary as you can see from that list - tech becomes better and cheaper over time.

Hyper-inflating the housing market is a surefire way to offset that. And if house prices had stayed in line with real inflation, we'd all own houses, have families and it would be far harder to push us around and grow government.

Without Tolkein's genius, all the the rich mythology of elves, fairies, trolls, orcs etc.. might have been just a literary footnote.

Without the Fantasy genre he established, anime might never have had fantasy and isekai.

No dark elves, no adventurers with unlikely harems, just endless mecha and school drama.

@Zeb @RoninGrey

You're right about the Palantir, I forget about that bit sometimes.

But like water, corruption flows in the direction of least resistance. His type of evil followed the fault lines that were already there.

He wasn't retarded. His greatest sins were apathy & cruelty.

Selling out Gondor by not lighting the signals? Favoring his dead son over a living son? Willing to end his bloodline by sending Faramir to needlessly die? Trying to kill himself & Faramir?

Fuck that guy x1000.

@Justicar

Trump just secured Panama's compliance through their rejection of Chinese patronage.

If he secures Arctic trade routes via Greenland/Canada, then he has the entire western hemisphere under American influence. A kind of "Wider Munroe Doctrine".

If he can replace Neolib trade policies with Nationalist policies, he changes global economics.

If he brings 1 or 2 major European countries to his Nationalist way, WEF Globalism dies.

Lots of Big Ifs that could fail, so it's a "We'll See".

@RoninGrey

Yeah, he's bad. But he's kind of modeled after a Jew archetype - weak, resentful, scheming, disloyal.

Denethor just boils my piss.

@houseoftolstoy

Yes, the USAID revelations are a necessary medicine to expose all the fuckery.

Yes, the integrity of those doing the exposing will be judged over time.

But the question I most want answered and I see nobody asking is "Who were the people who masterminded and architected USAID's war on the American public".

Open borders, paid for riots, weaponized justice, trans war on kids, targeted censorship.

Who are the Big Cheeses that chose all of this? That said this MUST happen?

@RoninGrey

Of all the characters in Lord of The Rings, the one I've come to hate is Denethor II, Steward of Gondor, father to Boromir and Faramir.

No redeeming characteristics, just loathsome.
