ZIRP is basically still a major factor. The cancer of ZIRP was with us for literally a whole generation, that is not simply just undone by stopping the consumption of the carcinogen.

Unfortunately for the majority of people, there are effectively zero good outcomes from any of this. Just like none of the previous promises and assurances of how {insert technology} would make things better for everyone, while always turning out to only benefit a few; so will the current lies of the same pattern result in the same output.

It’s something europeans don’t yet understand, that “diversity” has utterly destroyed community, trust, and tranquility in the US; mostly because it has been forced upon people against their will in direct contradiction of the core tenets of the Constitution and founding principles of America.

I realize hearing that or seeing that others may read that, may anger people who are deeply invested in the fraud that diversity is good, but all the legitimate research into the topic all tells us the same thing; that “diversity” is detrimental to any and all human communities all around the world, even for the very group that pushes it on others while aggressively rejecting it for themselves and their own.

edit: No amount of downvoting will change reality, whether you shoot the messenger or not. It's a shame, because good does not actually prevail, especially with brainwashed fools who assist those seeking the demise of others. Support of "diversity" is no different than the support of the genocide the jewish state committed and is to this day still committing in Gaza... the support of evil without the intelligence to understand that.

That all has way more to do with Japan’s bond issues and the carry trade unwinding. 8 billion will have caused a tick, but that’s nothing.

The civilization that created that must have been a wonderful place and probably was taught how to create such things by aliens.

Is sarcasm, but it may as well not be since that America is long dead and gone and has been replaced by an America that really needs to be renamed at this point.

No it’s not. It’s made very easy to vote and it has only been made easier and more people have been given the vote. That’s the whole point, so you on the one hand believe you have your say, and on the other hand the expansion of the vote was always for the purpose of drowning out the vote of intelligent, informed, smart, invested, productive people.

For every vote the most informed and well read and intelligent person has, whose family built everything there is in any democracy…every single year of your life there is one additional foreign, alien, hostile person that was just given the right to vote along with the 5 children they will have to your 1.5 to all vote against you.

That’s why the rich don’t vote, they got politicians, institutions, academics, organizations, etc. that’s our vote, we vote millions and billions of times with dollars, while importing millions of people who totally neutralize your vote and say every single time you go through that charade called voting.

It happens all the time. America and the EU are bought and paid for. The funniest part is that they’re being paid for with the very money the buyers plunder with the left hand, only to use the right hand to purchase the treasonous dominant class.

It’s like a sleight of hand magic trick pulled on an infant that is then gleeful for the deception.

I'm not sure if you are trying to mock the idea, but it would not be the first time that something like that would work and although not sure, it seems that FB would not be above any of that given their history (having some inside knowledge from very early on) and that the demographics seem to be going against them in a major way.

I should have been more explicit, if I understand you. I support not just making it illegal for any minor to be on any big SM, but also creating standards and specifications for data ownership, controls, collection, and privacy that are hard and accompanied with extreme punishments, i.e., per intentional, negligent, or reckless violation; per data point, not incident. Make the companies aware that a single event can crater the whole corporation if the corporation cannot prove that its officers did not act in violation of the corporation and are therefore personally responsible, and they will keep the rules.
