So, the Babylonian debt

Didn't Babylon have debt jubilees?

Yes: https://www.historynewsnetwork.org/article/debt-jubilees-an-ancient-solution-for-a-modern-pro

And Solon instituted one in Athens. I never knew he was a businessman. Things we learn every day.

"In the Athens of 594 B.C., according to Plutarch, ‘the disparity of fortune between the rich and the poor had reached its height, so that the city seemed to be in a dangerous condition, and no other means for freeing it from disturbances seemed possible but despotic power.’ The poor, finding their status worsened with each year- the government in the hands of their masters, and the corrupt courts deciding every issue against them- began to talk of violent revolt. The rich, angry at the challenge to their property, prepared to defend themselves by force. Good sense prevailed; moderate elements secured the election of Solon, a businessman of aristocratic lineage, to the supreme archonship. He devalued the currency, thereby easing the burden of all debtors (although he himself was a creditor); he reduced all personal debts, and ended imprisonment for debt; he cancelled arrears for taxes and mortgage interest, he established a graduated income tax that made the rich pay at a rate twelve times that required of the poor; he reorganized the courts on a more popular basis; he arranged that the sons of those who had died in war for Athens should be brought up and educated at the government’s expense. The rich protested that his measures were outright confiscation; the radicals complained that he had not redivided the land; but within a generation almost all agreed that his reforms had saved Athens from revolution."

I don't think there were plurals. I think they had one documented under great protest, duress, and political upheaval, not a voluntary act of charity to the debtors.

I suppose you could call it the local authorities forcing the local loan shark crime bosses to cancel the debts of a beleaguered public.

Killing account holders (the ones the banksters owed money or held value under trust in the bank) was a regular thing, debt forgiveness jubilees not so much.

I think most rumors of debt jubilees are along the lines of fake news and fake history, carrots, like pending reparations used to persuade the idiopolous. Everybody is manipulated on the basis of the pending 'jubilee'. Do you really think that criminals are going to voluntarily cancel debts through some act of altruistic persuasion?

Bankruptcy is the closest thing to Jubilee in reality, but bankruptcy isn't free, either. Assets are evaluated, partitioned, and served out to creditors based on priority, with the bankrupt allowed to keep some nominal grubstake.

If you have lots of assets AND lots of debts, you don't just get the debt part wiped out and keep all the assets.

They had multiple. Sumer did too. Ancient Israel had them every 50 years.

All green measures are designed to fail. Or, blow up?

I have ordered twice a car emergency starter battery from Amazon. Both times, they were misdirected to San Pablo, no explanation, Amazon issued refunds.

Is somebody gathering these to use in stacked formations as bombing weapons? Looks like they'll make quite the grenade for terrorists.

LOL! You trap them in their own gloating, reptilian contempt for the populace with their absurd cartoons? The hyena and the sickening, perverted, undeclared foreign agent promoted by fiat monies? Put them in the royal robes of the MSM propaganda lies and hope it flies?

Their cartoons are incompetent, broken actors who can't improvise or make decisions on the fly. It is a challenge even for them to transcribe the teleprompters into proper speech that isn't some stale and obvious deceptive screed.

I'm sure Vance has told her. "If shit hits the fan, stick with me if you want to live"

Meanwhile, free speech thrives in Great Britain, the author of our national miseries and patent enemy of the Republic. How long before the power saws are on the people and not the doors?

Inflation Reduction Act is just another laundering scheme.
