DEFLATION IS COMING!

Smells like a whole lot of bullshit here. First, the (supposed) small decrease in the M2 money supply is not going to outweigh the massive increase we just had, and inflation is not really stopping. Second, just because the Fed is looking to sell assets does not mean there will be any buyers. Third, government still spends like a drunken sailor with printed money.

Maybe someone can prove me wrong here, but I just see bullshit.

@furgar Hello, strawman much?

@Shadowman311 Just because the lockdowns did not go as far as actually forbidding people from leaving their homes did not mean they did not happen. Many businesses were forbidden from operating due to being "non-essential" (or were so restricted business was not profitable).

So shut up you faggot assholes who were unaffected personally. You begged for every restriction possible and more. People got jailed and fined for your bullshit.

@Dicer @WashedOutGundamPilot It is the survivor bias, where you only get data from planes that make it back. Sections that did not see damage were because they would be the parts that would cause the plane to stop functioning if damaged.

With trannies, you have a lot of data points that do not make it 20 years due to suicide. You cannot just ignore those stats in the whole trans debate, because it turns out living in a fantasy world will not make you happy.

@WashedOutGundamPilot By "working out" and "love cardio" they mean the elliptical machines. A great example of a "solution" that does not work, like many of the examples you have posted with women (the two fingers under the belt in the car for example).

@IAMAL_PHARIUS They are still saying that inflation is peaking/will go down. It will happen real soon just you wait!

Even if that is true, that still means that the price increases are permanent.

@DW2 Some "educational" experiences are better not to experience for yourself. Would you rather starve to death trying to implement a communist utopian system, or read a book about how it totally failed and would be retarded to try again?

The only reason we were able to advance as a civilization is because people wrote things down so that others could build on that. Otherwise, you just have oral tradition, and we can see how far that brings your civilization (hint: no further than mud huts).

@sj_zero @TechNews To be fair, the "it's a private platform" started out as a snarky retort to free marketer right wing types. They never really believed in that statement or cared about it, they just saw it as something to throw in their oppositions faces.

Though that does not make it their comeuppance any less merited. And often, many on the left say a lot of other things they do not personally believe either.

@dave Looks like something caused him to get a burst blood vessel (even propaganda outlets like this report it) :

Yeah, his wife says it was not the vaxx, but gee, we sure see a lot of cardiovascular problems right around the time they were pushing everyone to get vaxxed.

@WashedOutGundamPilot @deprecated_ii Perhaps family is not the only thing that gives men stake, but it sure is a major one. Men need to know that they will not be screwed over at any moment or be stuck in a miserable marriage in order for them to have a desire to get married in the first place. Though frankly, so many women are not marriageable that even rolling back some of the bad laws might not be enough.

Hey Dave, how about we give men a better deal before bringing on the shaming tactics?

@WashedOutGundamPilot @deprecated_ii Just what is causing young men to give up? They feel they have no stake in society. What gives men a feeling of having stake in society? A family. And look what has happened to the family. Divorce is rampant, thanks to women being able to turn "till death do us part" to "for whatever reason I feel like." So many men simply cannot see having a family and KEEPING said family as a realistic prospect.

Give men a better deal, and they can once more be motivated.

@WashedOutGundamPilot @deprecated_ii Dave Ramsey has a good understanding about how to manage personal finances and help people get out of debt, but he does not have an "eyes on the ground" view of what is going on with younger generations.

It is just like in Office Space when Peter says "It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care." So many young men just don't care any more. Give them a good reason to go out there and work, and they will do it.
