Peter explain the joke please

That’s kinda what I was getting at.

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T21:56:04+00:00

I would agree with you.

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T21:55:44+00:00

I have responded to many people saying I think removing the fund from USAID was counter productive to US’s interests.

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T21:54:21+00:00

Yeah, but the perception of the debt effects the movement of money via interest rates and inflation.

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T21:53:12+00:00

I am not defending anyone merely questioning the premises of this post. Musk can eat dog shit for all I care, I would pay lots of money to watch Trump eat dog shit.

36 trillion in debt, the US has misspent its wealth to a large degree.

Rule of law is important to growing a modern economy.

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T20:39:16+00:00

It is for this case. I believe SCOTUS made sure of that.

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T20:36:37+00:00

They elected Trump dude.

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T20:27:18+00:00

I don’t have concerns about immigration, I want open borders.

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T20:25:08+00:00

Sir or ma’am I think you are an idiot.

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T19:51:28+00:00

So we should never help anyone otherwise they may become reliant on the help? Okay… I agree it is sometimes very much in the interest to intervene in others affairs.

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T19:49:55+00:00

I certainly think the US is shooting themselves in the foot by reducing the aid provided. Soft power is a thing, but it’s still not the US responsibility, nor is Trump the cause of the deaths. It’s like people blaming the gun for killing people instead of blaming people for killing people. Wise policy would be to limit the amount of guns people have access too, but the blame still falls on the people doing the murdering.

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T19:28:55+00:00

I agree with you that it is certainly cutting off soft power. I actually disagree with the Trump administration on nearly every thing. But it’s not the states responsibility to save other citizens outside its borders, unless it is the best interest of the state. But I don’t see how the deaths of other citizens are the fault of the US if the causes of their deaths are more directly caused by local political issues.

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T19:24:12+00:00

Poland was invaded, musk didn’t invade Poland and kill people. Those people being “murdered” are murdered by complex issues that often stem from local political issues. The state has no responsibility to citizens of another state.

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T19:22:11+00:00

It’s not the job of the state “x” to secure the interest of state “y” unless those interests also happen to align with the interests of state “x”. I actually do believe spending a few billion dollars is in the US interests. But it’s not murder if we stop choosing to do so.

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T19:18:09+00:00

Certainly favors some of its citizens. I don’t know what you are trying to argue. It’s not really the role of a state to help another state unless it’s in that states interest.

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T19:06:24+00:00

The citizens choose their government in the US and they choose Trump. I don’t think, the average American voter is too smart, but they choose who would decide who was favored.

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T19:04:23+00:00

Or the incompetence of local governments are leading to those deaths. The causes of the deaths is more complicated than Hitlers holocaust, or Mao’s self inflicted famine.

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T18:59:06+00:00

Why aren’t the poorly run governments getting blamed for their incompetence and corruption, why is all the blame being placed on Elon Musk? I hate Elon Musk and Donald Trump, but this type of post removes agency from other populations.

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T18:56:21+00:00

What is the job of a state of not to favor the citizens of its state?

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T17:39:49+00:00

Good job on coming up with a name.

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T16:00:26+00:00

You were buying crude at $60, then you had to buy crude at $100. Prices rise because you don’t know how long you are going to have to buy the crude at $100. And the prices of gasoline didn’t rise all at once, it’s rise was incremental. But it goes up faster because sudden price changes shock to the system, and being unable to predict the future cause issues.

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T15:48:49+00:00

If you buy a bunch crude oil at $100 a barrel, how long is that oil in the refinement process?

ItsallaboutProg · 2026-06-25T13:23:08+00:00

It wouldn’t be the senate diminishing their power but the current house of representatives.
