What they need is a black guy and a Jew to straighten out that mess. Have the Jew just start printing money and have the black guy convince everyone that free stuff and recovery are on the way.

No sense being greedy. I have forwarded an email to them that I received from a wealthy individual who recently died. It is worth several million dollars. I’m sure they can use the money more than I can.

All they have to do is start minting trillion-dollar coins.

If need be, they can use old bottle caps. The theory is the same.

Wasn’t there a white woman who posted here a while ago from Zimbabwe?

Things were horrific then; hope she’s still alive or has escaped.

Your post #23.

Why? Its the Brits fault. They stabbed the Boers in the back.

Sadly I have no alternative but to agree with your statement. I was in Canada as an ex-pat Brit, when the struggle commenced for the then Rhodesia. I remember the demonstrations shown on television in London. How righteous and know it all were my fellow countryman. They all knew what was best for Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe.

I noted the progress of some of these protesters and one lives in a very neat, nice suburb of London. I daresay that if one looked out of place around there, a local Bobby would be called. They live in a Dickensian middle class enclave. Expensive residences force segregation, they will not admit that though.

Yet they helped thrust on the white Rhodesians a certain kind of regime. It became possibly worse than that which British people faced living in islands off France. These were occupied by German troops early in 1940. We know how the Germans behaved when those British islands of Jersey and Guernsey were occupied in WW2.

The BBC had to shut their mouths about it, for -well life went on there. Bad for the morale. A long ramble, but the protesters in another country ,find it easy to dictate what will not occur in their own country.

"that’s a pile of $100-bills twice as high was the WTC, btw...)"

Here's a better way to visualize it. As you watch, keep in mind that's merely the debt, and does not even take into account what was spent within budget...

Could be worse —they could instead be $115 TRILLION in the hole, after you could unfunded liabilities. (that’s a pile of $100-bills twice as high was the WTC, btw...)

Not in Zimbucks, that's two notes with Z$85,000,000,000,000 in change coming...

Still, if they are financially in the black, they are ahead of us in that respect.

There are T-Shirts out there and there’s a great logo that I’ve seen here on FR, a which I have a copy of, but be damned if I can figure out how to post it.

As an alum of the U of North Dakota I picked the name after the NCAA forced the school to drop its use of “University of North Dakota Fightin’ Sioux” as its sports team nickname (NOT mascot...they have NEVER had a mascot)...I grew up on a reservation (not a Lakota or Sioux reservation) and always thought it was cool that (mostly) lily white N.D. had honored the mighty Lakota nations by using its (admittedly white) name honorarily, and with much pride and respect...
