Thought I spelled it out pretty clearly in the last post... It's your echo chamber because you ignore all the people who are more knowledgeable than you and correct you on your woefully misinformed posts. You create a bubble for yourself to hide from the smart postersWell, I didn't block you. So what's your excuse for that? I only have a handful of people blocked. They just happen to be the loudest mouths here, and it shows. It's the constant go to for you and many others. I blocked them for being creeps. Don't constantly @ me. Don't make alts and follow me with them. Just don't be a harassing weirdo and you won't get blocked, it's that simple. Oh, there's a couple on there that asked me to block them too, so I did. I just find it funny that it bothers you so much. Another person here posted their block list. It was more than twice as many people as mine. I didn't see you throwing a fit at them.

And yet who is it that keeps bringing out bills meant to achieve that goal? And who is that keeps voting against them?Like the Inflation Reduction Act? The 740 billion dollar bill that does basically nothing to reduce inflation. They hope it will bring in 300 billion over the next decade. Super helpful. They just keep printing money with no consideration of how to pay it back. You want a fun fact? The interest payments alone on our debt are about to surpass our total military spending. Yet nobody will do anything to stop it. We have two multi-billion dollar proxy wars to fund after all.

| Ozmose 10/27/23 2:29:41 PM #35 | Do you really think people are just going to ignore the economy when they go to the polls? We have the worst inflation in 50 years, and it's not going anywhere. They can try to tout lower inflation numbers all they want, it's not going to help. People want to see deflation. They need to see prices come down. They keep cooking the books to make the numbers look better, but it's only making things worse for the average person. I just saw an article the other day swooning over how the GDP is through the roof. Yeah, that's going to happen when Janet prints 600 billion dollars in one month.
What they don't understand is that your average household could care less about any of those numbers. The ones they care about are the ones they see on their grocery receipt and on the gas pump, and when the prices keep going up, they're going to blame whoever is in charge. You can take all the social issues and throw them right in the trash. At the end of the day people's #1 issue is providing for their family. --- Most people are other people.

I mean if the light father, or whatever we want to call him, sent Jesus in to save us from yhwh, the corrupt creator god, then you'd think he cares at least somewhatIt's been a long time since I've read through all of it, but If I recall correctly it went something like this. The creator god of this realm Sameal (the demiurge) abandoned the celestial realm in protest of being shirked of his rank. The actual supreme god and just about everyone else could care less that he did it. The one that did, was the wife of the celestial god. She sent her son to try to help. That's where things get a bit fuzzy depending on what texts you go off of. The post Christianity texts say that this was Jesus, while the earlier writings seem to imply this was actually Lucifer. That was why he led Eve to the tree of knowledge. In a sense, to show them the nature of their creator, and the prison they were bound to. It also explains the severe punishment that followed. I guess you could kinda compare the fruit of the tree, to the red pill in the Matrix. There's a lot more to it but damned if I can remember. Either way you look at it, the one attempt to save mankind failed. I really should go back and read through everything. It's been well over a decade. --- Most people are other people.

It doesn't have any kind of an endgame. Just mankind trapped in an infinite inescapable cycle, with the only players capable of stopping it, being completely indifferent to our very existence.

Israel didn't exist before WW2 and draws its authority from the Bible, yet now control about 80-90% of the country. Even as a devil's advocate it's kinda weird for you to be defending them POWell, it did exist before WWII. It was just a very long time before it. The whole situation with the re-founding of Israel in 47' was pretty messed up, and there are a lot of fair arguments on both sides. The one thing that isn't really debated, is that Jerusalem and the surrounding lands have been in perpetual conflict for thousands of years. It's highly doubtful that things would be any better there if it never happened. A lot of people don't know that Einstein was offered the presidency of Israel in 1952, but declined it. Makes you wonder what things would be like if he'd accepted. It probably wouldn't have been world changing, but it's still fun to speculate. --- Most people are other people.

| Ozmose 07/09/23 9:56:02 PM #39 | People do have too much money, and it is the cause of the inflation. Where everyone gets hung up is with the word "money". In a fiat currency system like ours Money = Debt. We treat debt as an asset. It doesn't matter if you actually hold any of the value of it or not. There used to be limits on how debt was treated but the last of those got torn down with Dodd-Frank. It removed the barrier between speculative banking and deposit banking. Where it was once illegal for a bank to use customer assets for investment, it has now become the norm. People think they put their money in the bank and it just sits there. Lol,no. They invest it immediately. That's why when the yield inverts, all of the banks start going tits up. Everyone thinks they're safe because of the FDIC, but that only works to a degree. The last audit of the FDIC revealed they only have enough to cover about 1.6% of total deposits. Probably less since they raised the $250,000 limit on the SVB claims. --- Most people are other people.
