Anyway, there is a lot to ponder here. Your thoughts and comments are welcome.
“The rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class pays for it.”
“gold”
2025:
$1 million house ~= 250 ounces of gold in value ~= 16 pounds of gold in value
America’s ‘golden’ age [1929 mansion $16,000, gold $20/ounce]:
mansion ~= 800 ounces of gold in value ~= 50 pounds of gold in value
True wealth is mainly in real estate.
Real estate wealth is tied to good land titles, civilized behavior, ample employment opportunity, and transport quality [railroads, superhighways & most importantly, airline service].
An very elderly friend who is in excellent health was told by her physician she has a chance of developing osteoporosis because of a ten year risk noted on her bone density scan.
At her age, the risks from the medication are worse than the risks to her bones. She declined.
She also declined over the years mammograms. There is no trace of breast cancer in her family.
There is a constant push to test, scan, invade, and overmedicate. It is up to the patient to examine the risks.
Of course, the doctor can always cancel a non-compliant patient.
“Real estate wealth is tied to good land titles,...”
My family learned there is no such wealth when the government confiscates land through revolution or war.

That only works if the value of the real estate keeps going up.
In the end,, maintenance, realtor fees and annual real estate tax most likely will make it a break even or losing investment.
EC
Europe got rich, because they worked hard, invented things, burned a lot of coal, build railroads, houses, factories and dams.
It is called industrial revolution, you stupid!
If the colonies were the main source of wealth, why would Spain and Russia, the biggest colonists of all, were pretty backward and poor comparing to central Europe, which had No colonies?
The first paragraph are the ravings of a lunatic mind, and I did not read any further.
The West (what you call colonialism) has done more to lift up the world out of poverty than anyone prior.
“If the colonies were the main source of wealth, why would Spain and Russia, the biggest colonists of all, were pretty backward and poor comparing to central Europe, which had No colonies?”
Excellent observations! Where did all that Spanish gold go?
Certainly not much to build colleges of engineering and innovation, not to develop an entrepreneurial class.
Why do they never talk about Muslim colonialization, they made it all the way to Indonesia.
I didn't record the link.
Be aware that infant formula nowadays contains man-made sugars that are found in natural mothers' milk. As I understand things, these sugars inhibit intestinal bacteria growth.
Perhaps withdrawal from formula should be gradual.

"OLIGOSACCHARIDES: There are two types appearing in some of these Baby Formulas...Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and Galactooligosaccharides (GOS). GOS and FOS can be commercially synthesized or derived from natural sources. (Source: Frontiers in Nutrition: Technological Aspects of the Production of Fructo and Galacto-Oligosaccharides May 2019)"
"There are different studies on supplementation with FOS and GOS...some conclude that their inclusion is advantageous, but some had different results including one which notes, ' . . . they might have adverse effect on glucose metabolism'. (Source: National Library of Medicine; National Center for Biotechnology information PMID: 28924143 September 2017)"

Spain and Portugal. Yes.
The UK? No.
Thank you for posting this.
Very thought provoking.
The global climate scam and green movements run by uber wealthy elites are another way to extract and transfer wealth while managing control of the middle class ….also a weapon of war used against the industrialized world by competitors seeking resource control and market monopoly ( chiiina cough cough )
It is not politically correct to talk about Muslim colonialization. All of the current and past world problems are due to greedy white European and USA males. To suggest otherwise does not get you tenure at most American universities or a chance to run for office as a Demorat.
the only thing wrong with this supposed plan is that the rich vacinate their kids too.
And are maybe in fact more likely to do so.
WIKI [Galactooligosaccharide]
Because of the configuration of their glycosidic bonds, galactooligosaccharides largely resist hydrolysis by salivary and intestinal digestive enzymes. Galactooligosaccharides are classified as prebiotics, defined as non-digestible food ingredients as substrate for the host by stimulating the growth and activity of bacteria in the colon.
The increased activity of colonic bacteria results in various effects, both directly by the bacteria themselves or indirectly by producing short-chain fatty acids as byproducts via fermentation. Examples of effects are stimulation of immune functions, absorption of essential nutrients, and synthesis of certain vitamins.
Stimulating bacteria
Galactooligosaccharides are a substrate for bacteria, such as Akkermansia muciniphila, Bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Studies with infants and adults have shown that foods or drinks enriched with galactooligosaccharides result in a significant increase in Bifidobacteria. These sugars can be found naturally in human milk, known as human milk oligosaccharides. Examples include lacto-N-tetraose, lacto-N-neotetraose, and lacto-N-fucopentaose.
Immune response
Human gut microbiota play a key role in the intestinal immune system. Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) support natural defenses of the human body via the gut microflora, indirectly by increasing the number of bacteria in the gut and inhibiting the binding or survival of Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium and Clostridia. GOS can positively influence the immune system indirectly through the production of antimicrobial substances, reducing the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria.

NOTE: I’m not saying these are bad. But they, their administration, the withdrawal of their administration and their effects should be studied carefully.
“You took their gold, you enslaved their people, you forced people to work in the gold mines and that sort of thing. That’s how Europe got rich. That’s how the UK got rich. And so that’s the historical pattern for 500 years. 500 years of colonialism.”
In North America the Indians were not enslaved, and they didn’t have any gold. The English and French came as farmers and fur trappers and traders and to escape religious persecution. This article is a load of C**P.
There is a lot of crazy in that screed
simply supply and demand. Land is a limit resource, while demand continues to go up as the population increases.
This results in land always going up in value over time with the population.
