BS lies from this lying administration. Nobody believes anything from this clown show.
Meanwhile the Epstein files show more and more reality.

You think the house that sold for $82K in 1985 is of the same size/quality/features as the one selling for $419K now? Answer: 1985 one ain't even close. False comparison.
You think the median American home is 45% better than it was in 1985 to justify a 45% increase? Absolutely no way.

If there is no God then killing people is not morally wrong. It would all be subjective based on the person you’re talking to. Your morals come from nothing and mean nothing. Inherently someone with completely different ideology than you is also correct if they say I should “grape” every woman on the planet. Because in my mind, it’s okay. There’s no higher authority to say it’s not okay.
Your point? If God wanted to enforce morality he could just smite said murders and rapists from on high. Everyone would be much happier. But no, it literally never happens. Not once. Almost like He doesn't exist, eh?

the absolute worst thing for "velocity" of money is welfare or "entitlement" payments, aka socialism/communism. the best thing for "velocity" is earning it, working and providing value to others. IOW ... free market.

free of charge.
What? Did you just make that up? Because it isn't true. It doesn't matter where the money comes from. Poor people spend it. To eat. That isn't opinion, it's cold hard reality.

Also, it’s absolutely absurd to think that this world comes from nothing. We are in the perfect spot in the universe, the only place of which that we know, to sustain sentient life and have an order which follows. Remember, matter can not be created or destroyed. But the existence of the universe already disproved that theory. At some point it had to be created. Or if not the case. It was already there. Which is how God is said to be.
Who created God? Where did he come from? It's the exact same infinite regress as our universe.

what he is too dumb or drunk to understand is that atheists have no reason NOT to murder.
They have the same reason everyone else does. Society. The only reason you don't murder people is because you'll be punished for it after you die? I knew you were messed up, but that's some serious high-level pathology.

He thinks the money in banks and Musk's just sits there in large coin vaults that they wallow in like Scrooge McDuck. It doesn't occur to him why interest is paid on that money.
Banks use our money to make theirs. Pointing out extra layers of parasites profiting off the backs of the workers only strengthens my argument. Thanks.

Every single atheist I know is morally bankrupt because they think they can do whatever they want in this life with no worries. Crappy, untrustworthy people.
And every Christian I know is morally bankrupt because they think they'll either be rewarded or punished eternally for their tiny time on this earth. No responsibility for themselves. Crappy, untrustworthy people.

Radical playbook on full display tonight. Seriously, this is the same crap from the 60s.
And we've had sixty years of neoliberal economic policy since then. Where's it gotten us? The youngest generations are the first in American history to have it worse than our parents. That wasn't our doing. We weren't alive.

That’s the point of free will. He lets us choose our actions and to worship him or not. We would have no purpose if we all acted like mindless robots. That isn’t love that’s dictatorship

Lol. And pay interest dividends for using your money. But I'm sure you keep yours buried in jars in your crawlspace. For some odd reason, you think a service business, isn't a business if someone isn't throwing coke into a smelting furnace. Such a broken toy.

Expectations of what? I’m not advocating for myself. I’m analyzing our society at large. How much “chance for advancement” does the average person in Harlan have?
Advancement in your profession so you can possibly generate more income. If you’re in your 30s you still have plenty of time to build for a great retirement. Wasting your energy lashing out at random billionaires you don’t know isn’t going to get you anywhere, I think investing in yourself and focusing your energy there will get you where you need to go. Hopefully your company has a 401k but if not you can start saving, even if it’s 100 bucks a month and you’ll be shocked how you can get it to grow at such a young age.

I’d recommend a couple books: the little common sense book of investing and the psychology of money. Very easy reads and can give you a pretty good perspective imo. I’d also recommend listening to Dave Ramsey. I don’t agree with some of his stuff but his basic principles I think are great, especially if like yourself you’re feeling a little hopeless and overwhelmed. If you can get a plan in place and try to follow it I think it’ll give you some confidence and feeling like you’re in control.

I only was able to start saving for retirement 4 years ago but I feel so much happier and more confident now that I have a plan in place. Good luck to you and I’d love to talk to you in 30 years when you’re getting to retire a millionaire!
Let's piggyback my own comment here to dive a bit deeper now that Christmas is finished and we have the time. Harlan county, the random example I threw out, is, depending on the metric you're using, somewhere around the 30 poorest county in the entire country. There is very limited upward mobility. If you're young and ambitious and looking for "chance for advancement" you leave. Harlan, Harlan Co., and large swathes of our country are dying. Meanwhile all that wealth keeps concentrating at the top. Three men have more wealth than the entire bottom half of the country. 165 million people. And the top 1% has more than 90% of us. Almost everyone. That includes most of you who consider yourselves 'middle class'. We aren't in decline because of immigrants.

So God intentionally lets evil exist just because He wants to. He gives kids cancer, sends tsunamis to unsuspecting beaches, and watches people be raped all just so he can be worshiped? That's "love" to you?

God works in ways that you will never be able to comprehend because at this juncture of your life,you are not able.

Democrats tried to pass border legislation but it was shot down by the Republicans.
In other news....Can't be pro life and pro Trump according to the Epstein files. He is so sick.

And what laws passed that made it possible for Trump to seal the border? I mean why continue lying about something so patently obvious for everyone to observe. Biden left the border open because he wanted our nation invaded. Full stop. 🤡

Finance takes up a significantly larger chunk of our economy today than it did even then. There's a reason they group them all together into the FIRE category with rentals and insurance. Parasites all.

Nah, commies and demBolsheviks always put themselves above the law. Same system they ran in the Soviet Union. Reward your comrades and punish your enemies.
So every rich Democrat got theirs through illegal means but just isn't being prosecuted because of political favoritism, but every rich Republican earned theirs legitimately? Wow, what a simple, team sport world you must live in. You realize how absurd you're being when it's laid out for you like this, right?

Then why did the border immediate change on day one. Also, I love your revisionist history...the democrats said there was no crisis at the border for 3 years, until they realized how bad they were polling, then they created all these insane pork filled bills. Remember, democrats controlled the entire govt when biden took over...whats your excuse, cant wait to hear! They were desperately wanting the border flooded to change congressional numbers..illegals are counted on the census.

Also, Quick, find a copy paste

You don't have to be smart to put a million dollars in the bank and sit there accruing interest. Just rich. That's what our system rewards. Not smarts. Capital. It's even named after it.
Thats your first error, only a moron would put a million dollars in the bank for interest.

Which brings up a point too, social security is the biggest scam known to man...I could put that same money on the market and get a guaranteed higher return. SS is literally a theft ponzi scheme

That was part of my point and the reason I used that particular turn of phrase. Even a dumb rich person gets that money guaranteed for doing nothing. A smart one uses it to make even more. And more. And more. Opportunities the rest of us don't have. All just for being rich. Many of them born that way.

It's the reason millions of America seniors aren't in poverty. Yes, you could theoretically make more on your own. But most wouldn't in actual practice. And the few that would've used it responsibly and actually saved for retirement with smart investments that paid off are already doing so, so it's a moot point.

Have seen a post or two on this thread and a few more on Rafters about MD's two technicals

To my knowledge there has never been and currently is no rule requiring suspension from a future game for getting two techs in a game .. you're just DQed for the rest of the said game
I think a suspension is from a flagrant 1 or 2 foul right?

You're talking to an actual, verified Revolutionary Communist.

They have to "kill" God because your allegiance must be to them, to the state, and nothing else. It's to impose their dictatorship, the dictatorship of the proletariat.



Socialism only works if everyone buys in: what do you think they'll do to you when you refuse?
