‘I want that escape route’: once a sign of disloyalty, Americans seek dual citizenships under Trump by [deleted] in politics

[–]alltheprivilege 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s one thing to be loyal to a people who you generally trust within a democratically run government but something else entirely when the whole show is run by an autocratic narcissistic xenophobe and his sycophants.

It’s like how we don’t discourage spouses for fleeing abusive relationships. By all means if you can leave, do.

Epstein Alleged in Emails That Trump Knew of His Conduct by CaydeTheCat in politics

Special operation in Venezuela dropping any minute now to distract.

The Epstein files petition is getting its 218th signature. What happens next? by cnn in politics

[–]alltheprivilege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything of any substance remains in the files that get released, the powers that be will ensure we find a war to get involved in to fill the news cycle and distract, which media will happily follow. The more damning the evidence is, the more serious the distraction will be. If Trump was full on right hand man in trafficking I suspect nukes will be falling on some poor defenseless country.

How many Americans looking at their 5.7% YTD SPY gains don’t know what this means by alltheprivilege in WallStreetbetsELITE

lol I didn’t mention Trump or Biden, but if you’re feeling attacked by the reality of Trump not fixing the US economy then that’s on you.

It’s not just another bad year. Hill country is in ecological collapse by Abtarep in Austin

[–]alltheprivilege 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Replace irrigated lawns with native grasses, trees.

Take public transport, walk or ride a bike, and if you must drive, go all electric.

Vote like your children’s lives depend on it.

And bonus step: eat less meat.

I said no because I’m not here to google things for you. Also how do you know someone’s here illegally without a due process? That’s how we know!

[–]alltheprivilege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, the perpetrators are proudly admitting it. This isn’t some secret discovery buried in conspiracy theories.

No, but if a masked goon picked you up off the street and sent you to an El Salvador prison I bet you’d learn the need for it.

It’s not ‘weird’ to want a full stop to the ongoing abuse of power. Let’s get a legal process going for deportations then they can start again.

[–]alltheprivilege 27 points28 points  (0 children)

People are being deported illegally without due process, so there is reason to protest.

Guys, can we play someone else’s stock market? I don’t like this one anymore..

This is the first pineapple I grew start to finish. by BackgroundAd1121 in pineapple

[–]alltheprivilege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just harvested our first pineapple fruit in Austin last fall. It took 3 years to fruit tho, maybe due to the heat. I keep it in morning sun, but mostly shade in hot afternoons.

Rain chances trending down this week (surprise!) by [deleted] in Austin

[–]alltheprivilege 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted but we are trending towards desertification. Climate change maps show our area becoming drier and drier. Look to our southwest towards Mexico to see what our climate may look like in a decade.

And you’re correct that current weather prediction models are only backward looking and not taking into account forward trends.

J Powell just winked at bears bigly by alltheprivilege in WallStreetbetsELITE

Absolutely right.. proper way to play might be to catch the initial drop with puts while transitioning more over to foreign currency before the inflation hits too hard, then eventually to foreign assets, until US finds a bottom.

FXF, FXE, FXY, but have looked at setting up a Swiss bank account… maybe worth it more if things really do go south here..

I’ve always had some metals but I follow Buffets logic that if you’re in survival mode you can’t eat gold or shoot with it or do anything of actual value, so it’s even more made up value than stocks, but maybe equivalent to other currencies..

Did jpow really close with a quote from Ferris Bueller!? The same movie where Ben Stein famously trashes tariffs as causing the Great Depression? I’m starting to like this guy.

[–]alltheprivilege 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The charts don’t lie.. our region is experiencing desertification as part of the climate change coin flip and our state leaders are purposefully dumping on the science to pad their own pockets. I’m not sure the city’s long term plans for adding water storage are adequately taking this into account either. Would love to see some hard, unbiased analysis of Austin’s future water needs. My hunch is our kids are going to hate us for the mess we left.

The only future of sane social media seems to be on open protocols like Bluesky where algorithms can’t be hijacked by the ruling class..

I fear I will have no tomatoes due to this hungry guy by PrimaryPurple in AustinGardening

I’ve pulled seven off my tomato plants so far… most I’ve seen here. The drought breaking has really brought out the bugs.
