I made chilli con carne yesterday for tonight, brown rice and greens.

Hopefully the Toronto Touchers win it next time.

Congratulations Roughriders.

Quote from: Lokmar on Today at 11:40:27 AMI'm curious if this was forced on entities for more than simple rules compliance. What I'm getting at is they tripled the money supply as I remember which would devalue a banks assets by default, would it not. Was this in any way an effort to lessen further collapse caused by the money press? Do you have any other thoughts on additional motives?

They knew the printing press wouldn't yield immediate catastrophic consequences. It never does. Just like the CRA which birthed the whole crisis didn't yeild immediate consequence when Bill Clinton signed it into law and just like Obama care didn't completely wreck healthcare until years later. So they printed their way out of crisis and gave us all the illusion we had averted calamity.

it takes a while for a ship this large to pivot in any direction. But yeah, the immediate intent was to lessen the collapse. the long term affect was smaller institutions being swallowed up by the bigger fish. Which is what the democrats are truly after. --- this is why it is always so laughable to me when democrats say they are for the average working person. -- lmao at that! Case in point. We all remember GAmestop stock fiasco don't we? THe ONE time main street took on Wall street and won what did Biden do? Sold stock for people are 500% undervalued price points to save greedy hedge funds that were being raped on short positions.

Don't think this is so? Look closely at the A.I bubble which is destined to collapse any month now. Sam Altman is already looking to the 2008 playbook to prop up the A.I bubble with tax payer dollars when that PONZI scheme starts to implode.

And another point I'll put  to you this way. 300 million goes in as free money and 900 million goes out in the form FTEs, products and services required to comply with an entire plethora of bullshit regulations that do NO ONE, least of all the customer, any good.

All of these generate additional tax revenue and allow for more government bloat. Which is what the government is actually looking for


again, tying this back to Israel. only a complete moron believes we are writing a check to Israel in the sum of 4 billion dollars to spend as they please.

When in fact, what we are doing is essentially using Israel's finger to write a check to a US based weapons manufacturer and laundering the money back to special interest groups via that mechanism


it's government Mafia




And on another note. the US does not want the bombs to stop dropping on Gaza and anyone with a fraction of an IQ knows this. This conflict, just like the one in Ukraine, is a fucking CASH COW.

Again, I'm all for getting the fuck outta Israeli affairs and to be honest with you, every intelligent Israeli I know wants the same damn thing.

they are like the bank I used in my example and hate every minute of it. Their faux alliance to the US is like selling your soul to the devil

He said "moar hot bitches", not moar asses lookin' like hot air balloon bitches, lulz.

I swear I think I seen an actual meme of Flock of Smeagols once lol.

President Trump says House Republicans should vote to release the Jeffrey Epstein files.

In a post on his Truth Social platform late Sunday night, Mr. Trump wrote, "As I said on Friday night aboard Air Force One to the Fake News Media, House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it's time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party, including our recent Victory on the Democrat 'Shutdown.'"

Quote from: wizer on Today at 03:15:42 AMI'm not much into politics, especially since I now live in Greece but I keep an eye on the more interesting stuff, and being a native of NY it will be interesting to see if NYC really does tank with the new democratic mayor.

This article explains why it might not happen any time soon.

The TLDR version is that Mamdani won't be able to keep most of his (questionble) election promises which would probably be devastating to NYC, because they are either impractical, delusional or not supported by other political figures who must lend their support in order for it to happen.

He thought he was running for emperor instead of mayor.
