corporations were never imagined to be immortal.

That was the way it started out with corporations. They had a limited defined purpose with a beginning, a middle and a defined end.

The foreign occupied foreign city state of Washington DC is a corporate zombie, since the foreign corporations are completely dead bankrupt, but Congress keeps them lurching on by fiat legislation because they are the source of all the corrupt bounties.

You are confusing trade deficits vs budget deficits, it seems.

No, I'm conflating them on purpose. Trade deficits inevitably lead to budget deficits.

No, they don't.

Google, however, is itself an arm of the CIA at this point, a way for them to efficiently spy on all the Gmail and search habits of America.

UnitedHealth Care may be the Google in health insurance industry.

While true likely, you don't just go killing people because you don't like their company. 2-3 body guards at $100-150k/yr a piece is nothing sauce. $20k on a security system at home. Fencing. Bullet proof windows. Oh goodness I spent X amount of dollars AND EXPENSE it to the company.

I guess it creates jobs, but now CEO's are likely getting security detail. Guess what? They just pass that onto the costumer and your rates go up.

First you just don't kill other humans. I don't care how much disdain you have. Regardless of not allowing a claim or whatever, there are alternative that don't involve killing. The CEO never even made a decision on a claim. That's 3-4 levels down. Are they good people, no, but there are a ton more bad people out there that are worse.

Killing a man with kids is awful.

Did the actions of this man, the company he was the CEO of and other companies in this industry harm the lives of Americans? Who committed the greater harm, Luigi or Brian?

The only way to fight bad practices is stop buying from them. Everyone should stop buying health insurance for 5 years. Everyone should stop borrowing for 5 years etc etc.

Marc Andreessen just remarked on this - how he was explicitly told not to bother founding any AI companies, but only the three or so now in existence will be allowed, because the government can control them.

Do you know which 3 companies?

I read all this AI hype. I just don't give a shit as I'm anecdotal. If I didn't see it I don't believe it. Maybe I miss out on real stuff, but I don't care. No clue if Trump is even real. Haven't met him. I deal with real people I know and see things I know are real. It's why I stopped watching TV and most modern movies. Radio never on in the car.

Probably better for the meme thread, but I can't stand them. I like written personal thoughts. Not a fucking picture book. I know that will piss some off, but just write. I don't like quotes from other peoples articles that are probably made up articles and you wouldn't know. What are YOUR thoughts, not someone else's.

GNL says

No, but the point is only that there will be pretend competition while the government is actually in charge, to control what people see and to spy on what questions they're asking.

Reminds me of the Apple / Android duopoly in phone operating systems.

GNL says

Yes, but they have made it illegal not to buy health insurance. That obligation for the public to buy a private product used to be the core scam of Obamacare, and it's still the law in California.

I don't know enough macro economics to understand this. So if a country runs an overall trade deficit, does that mean that its government will borrow to make up the difference?

Patrick says

Trade deficits and budget deficits are two different things. One does not automatically cause the other.

For over two decades, Italy and Japan have had mostly consistent trade surpluses yet enormous and consistent budget deficits, for example.

I disagree here. Fauci is a shit head for sure. Do what you want with him (legally). Who is the fucking actual scientist that thought this was something they should do work on? Creating a virus? Who did the work?

You could maybe bring up AIDS as an example, but what disease or virus REALLY has been deadly in the last 60- 70 years. Ebola? Nothing there.

We've learned you don't fuck men in the butt if you don't want to take a cock(tail) of pills. Covid was a joke. I don't even know how Ebola is transmitted. Malaria and shitting your pants is the biggest concern traveling abroad.

Cleanliness was our issue and we fixed that with running water and sewers. There's no need to research or make a virus in a lab, that doesn't fucking exist. The scientist knew it was wrong and still did the actual work. That's who we should be going after. This isn't the 1500's with some plague as you're swimming in your own piss, shit, blood and vomit.

Whole thing was staged. Like Ole Dammegard says, don't look at the managed stage play, look for what ISN'T there but should be.

There were two direct witnesses, the person who was right there and dodged when they saw/heard gun and somebody in the vehicle on the curb. Not a peep, nada, no interviews, nothing revealed about these characters as well as the complete void of characteristic follow up. All we have is the blaring spotlight bullhorn on the designated patsy. The lack of designated appropriate follow up is a common theme of the Intel/Deep State movies these days, substituted by media glare on a magician's distracting narradigm.

It's like Trump's Pennsylvania 'assassination' where not even the slightest gesture of proper procedures for crime scenes were followed.

WookieMan says

Fauci and others whose names we don’t know, collaborated with Eco Health Alliance to off shore gain of function research when it was banned by Obama. Fauci is responsible for the creation of the virus. And the virus did kill people. Perhaps not as many as the ill advised responses to the virus, but under certain circumstances/ in the right person that frankenvirus will kill. The initial strains were likely the most deadly, the ones that escaped to the US were less lethal.

Yes, it was Fauci who created the virus in Wuhan, and it did knock off quite a few elderly who were on death's door anyway. Proof of that is that the average age of a virus death was greater than the average age of death overall.

The timing of the plandemic, right after two failed impeachments of Trump, strongly suggest that it was deliberately released to destroy Trump's excellent economy and provide the excuse for mass mail-in ballots, which are trivially easy to use for fraud.

Why has Fauci not been prosecuted? There is a clear paper trail showing his funding of the people creating the virus in Wuhan.

WookieMan says

I don't even know how Ebola is transmitted.

I think it's transmitted via the blood of the dying. Supposedly Ebola makes you bleed from every orifice, including the eyes.

On the bright side, it seems pretty easy to control that kind of transmission, unlike Fauci's virus, which is transmitted just by breathing near an infected person.

Luigi's trial will be blown up into a national spectacle while a bunch of important issues will be sidelined. OJ Simpson Trial Part 2. Mainstream media will take Brian Thompson's side. Social media Luigi's.

Luigi did nothing wrong

It is at least understandable that when a government squanders all its credibility protecting criminals that the people will eventually administer justice themselves.

The first job of any government is to fairly enforce justice, and our government has utterly failed at that most basic task:

- no prosecution of any Epstein Island pedophile
- no prosecution of the Biden Crime Family for their openly run bribery scheme
- no prosecution of Fauci for overtly breaking the law by developing the virus in Wuhan
- no prosecution of top "public health" officials for lying to the public about the danger and inefficacy of the death jabs
- no investigation of the obvious and massive election fraud of 2020
- no investigation of Pelosi and the FBI for their Jan 6th entrapment scheme against the election fraud protestors
- no prosecution of the perpetrators of the Russia Hoax
- overt abuse of the "justice" system to convict Trump of bogus charges

And on and on and on...

Our rulers ought to appease the restless masses by preempting their political demands – not because they are happy benevolent paternalistic overseers with our best interests at heart, because it is in their interests to do so.

In the United States they should’ve dialled back the racial egalitarianism and the transgender nonsense as soon as it started to generate serious pushback, and they should’ve taken steps to restrict migration before Trump ever came within reach of the Oval Office. Here in Europe, they should be winding down climatism and also taking any number of steps to close the borders. Yet they are either not doing these things, or they are not doing them hard enough.

As popular sentiment drifts away from them, the elite here in Germany if anything have grown more radicalised. The United States witnessed a similar dynamic well through Biden’s presidency – one that ultimately cost the American establishment not only the presidency and the legislature, but also all initiative for the next two years at least. In older and more pacified Europe, our rulers mostly retain command of their governments, but they are losing control of the political dynamics nonetheless.

“eugyppius,” my critics will say, “you are being very naive.” (My critics love to call me naive.) “The elites want to deindustrialise Europe. They don’t care if it makes people mad. They want to import a new client class. They don’t care if it inflames the populist opposition.”

(paywall)

Why are the elite continuing with actions which will surely get them massacred in the long run?
