On the Epstein files - I think they should be released, with appropriate redactions to protect victims. I don’t care if it makes Baron Trump or anyone else look bad. And anyone who is in them should be considered innocent unless proven guilty.

There should also be excise taxes on tattoos, Piercings, processed foods, cannabis, HFCS foods, soda pops, plastic surgery, and other stuff to pay for Medicaid.

The trusts & gifts should all face a IRA sequestering process the same year that matches the gifts/trusts amounts that eliminates the worst abuses on this.

And on all this the biggest challenge of all is we are talking about a system at the federal level that is unconstitutional in a post 16th/17th Amendments era where the gold standard is dead, fiat money is running its historically disastrous pattern, national debt exceed 3 years gross wages, annual deficits exceed 20% of gross wages, and fiscal sanity is dead in DC.

The best insurance for anyone is to marry well, have several kids & raise them well, stay happily married, live thriftily & work hard/smart, and make very good health, exercise, diet, and other lifestyle choices. That way as the federal malaise gets worse then they have a better chance of taking care of the elderly & disabled (starting with yourselves).

Most likely what will happen is that federal CMS quality of service for seniors and disabled or truly needy people will continue to deterioate as will any of the people on insurance plans or living in places that are heavily corraled into subsidizing the CMS deficiencies. If you live in a Blue zone you are screwed as their voters are going to shutdown the possibilities of untethered health care services & it will become like the Prohibition era in such places where real quality health care will be underground.

And if you insist on living a non-thrifty lifestyle then be prepared to be heavily dependent on the mercies of the system. Whenever you see anyone over age 50 not having 2+ years of liquidity + being debt-free then you have to wonder what they were thinking the past billion seconds on preparing for this stage in their life. They will never have the same health/vigor in the next billion seconds as they did the past billion seconds. I don’t wish them bad ill. But I see how much riskier things will be for them in the future & how much of an extra burden they are placing on everyone else.

Leftwingers have a habit of being dishonest and even making up baloney. If they would learn to be honest then the rightwingers will never win nationwide elections again. There are way too many people who fall for the old Roman tradition of giving people bread & circuses in order to get them to give away their freedom. The humans, by default, are no different today. The key to changing this is to get them educated on having strong critical thinking skills and being well-informed about human history.

Where’s the line for people wanting to pay? These Blue zones are slow learners. If the people who own assets, earn income, or spend money they earn all disappear then there is nothing to tax and no revenue coming in. And what is vital for the rest of us not in such zones to do is not live or work those places & ninimize our time in such zones. Otherwise, the taxoholics will infect our lives with their nonsense.

Rent control will scare away the real capital investments -> improvements needed to make places nice to live. When such a system exists then the investors are playing roulette & they can only win if they are super tight with a corrupt political system.

Anyone wanting long-term stability and fairness LOSES in such a system.

Overrun*

We must NOT allow the same to happen here in America.

Isn’t France now a holy waqf? Yes it was liberated by the Allies on D-Day. But due to getting overrub the past few decades its now a holy land for Muslims?

Iran could be like Syria the past 15 years in the near future.

Since when did government agencies “do much”?

There have been a lot of treaties in history.

For example, the 1871 Treaty of Frankfurt to bring lasting peace between France and Germany.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Frankfurt_(1871)

This meant that future generations, such as those in the 1914-1918 and 1940-1944 years, in France/Germany could be comforted to assume they’d have peace and tranquility.

In all fairness he should be allowed to explain for himself what he means. For starts, how do his views differ from Dr. Mengele at Auschwitz?

I totally agree that the country of Israel and Jews should face scrutiny for whatever they do. But they have certainly demonstrated in the USA a really boring track record in the criminal justice system. How often do we hear of any Jews doing riots and other crimes in America? I have never met any impolite Jews in my entire life and I have met thousands of them.

Do we have confirmation from Jimmy Hoffa and Elvis Presley that this is true?

In Wars any party that does not unconditionally surrender has no say on when the War ends.

As driverless cars become more widespread I suggest that pedestrians who plan to keep on living be less trusting that the driverless systems will always have effective anti-collison capabilities.

Trump is not an Article 1 officer in the federal level of US government :(

Here’s a good sentence for every Gen-Z worker (and others) to remember to NOT ask in their work duties and job hunting.

“How do I get training from the company”

Here is what they need to remember. The resources for training is going for AI Models through Machine Learning & not for training human resources.

Human resources get their training through self-service. What they should instead be saying is:

“What are the resources and recommendations on what I can do to proactively do continuous learning and self-service for gaining new skills that the company needs?”

Anyone not a proactive self-starter on working & learning (and most importantly on getting feedback from their management to ensure they are aligned with the fast changing needs of their business unit) is moving themselves to the front of the line for layoffs or exclusion on getting new jobs. Companies just won’t have much use for humans that act like machines that have to be instructed on everything.

I approve of “No Kings” but strong disapprove of how the protesters are neglecting the biggest risks of all on why America can become like a despotic country.

For starts, why were the protesters ignoring the blatant widespread violations of the 9th and 10th Amendments to the Constitution by officials who have ALL sworn to uphold/defend these important rights of ours contained therein?

Where were these protesters the past 4 years during vaccine mandates and other abuses of power by the regime of Biden?

And raise taxes on sanctuary cities, counties, and states to pay for it.

Its like the PTA - top down. Thats how the bylaws work.

Its not that they want to be homeless. Its that they want to have no responsibilities.

Take care of the landscaping to be clean & green? Take care of roof & foundation & structure & exterior? Take care of garbage, sewers & sewage, and utility lines on the exterior or underneath? Take care of framing, wirings, utility lines, drywall, floors, tiles, and interiors? Pay for electric, gas, water, sewer, trash, and other utilities? Keep appliances in good condition? Be respectful neighbors with appropriate decibel levels on the inside and outside? Proper maintenance and care of vehicles parked there, including 18 wheelers, boats, RVs, tractors, cranes, busses, TEU containers for cargo ships, 3 wheelers, mining equipment, spare parts for vehicles like old batteries & flat tires, old broken construction tools & oil refining tools & supplies like screwdrivers, axes, drills, saws, pipes, open containers of chemicals,etc and making sure that the neighborhood toddlers stay safe with all these items that may be collected on these properties? Ensuring that their airbnb & vrbo guests & others who stay or visit are responsible?

These types of responsibilities aren’t wanted by the Homeless.
