German children playing with worthless money at the height of hyperinflation. By November 1923, one US dollar was worth 4,210,500,000,000 marks.
The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the
second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.
— Ernest Hemingway
I can’t believe we live in a world that allows a person to become so rich Jeff Bezos can spend 600 million on a stupid wedding , is the same world that allows homeless people to freeze to death on the streets. WTF
The Pitchforks are coming.
Medical bills are the #1 reason for bankruptcy in the U.S.
When the victim is an evil villain the murderer becomes a hero.
This act like this county has a vigilante problem NO. They are noticing that MANY disenfranchised Americans, didn’t see a problem with that murder. And that scares the bejesus out of them because that’s how revolutions kick off. The media and the elites can’t have it both ways If the young man is to be be treated like Osaka bin Laden – then they must discuss the politics around the case – They won’t be allowed to create a bogeyman without any context .
Apparently the entire population is terrorists except CEOs and rich people, ignoring the deep outrage at the brutal healthcare system. The ruling class, acting on behalf of PACs and one-percenters, want to declare war on the American people. They can’t have the poors fighting back. White Supremicists aren’t terrorists, but Luigi is. CEO’s are sacred! The majority of your citizens who are not CEOs and are being defrauded by the health insurance industry… The only thing the working and middle class can look forward to is to be bilked by corporations. 69,000 people dying each year due to lack of insurance or being under insured is actually what’s alarming. Just remember that they never registered the KKK as a terrorist organization.
Merry Xmas Matt
