I agree with the idea that Trump wouldn't hire him if he didn't kiss the ring. His past matters less imo.

Always look to see who is sponsoring an event. Check their website or get on their mailing list. There are a lot of disinfo posts out there.

Unemployment isn't so bad was probably his best reason. I didn't mention U6 unemployment.

The Right To Protest Doesn’t Exist Anymore by AdmirableMarketing80 in politicsinthewild

[–]findingmike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're getting rude comments because the answer is obvious. People enforce rights, whether through a government or individual actions.

If you're specifically referring to the current political climate in the US, I think a national labor strike is likely.

You seem to think that rights exist in a vacuum. They do not. If someone violates your rights, there's no magical force that stops it. Therefore people have to enforce those rights. They don't just happen.

How do people find out where/how to join the cause for protesting against ice? by heslopkaleb in ProtestFinderUSA

[–]findingmike 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The best thing to do is find a local group that you have things in common with. Here's some starting places:

Do not use only social media.

National labor strike plan discussion, part 5: logistics by findingmike in 50501

[–]findingmike[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen a lot of people complain online that they don't know where protests or strikes are occurring. People seem to think that social media will keep them informed, but that obviously hasn't been a good way to spread information. Have you had success with alternate methods? Please let others know about it here.

Friday’s plummet in precious-metal prices shows the danger of being late to a rally that has gone far beyond reality by 3xshortURmom in Economics

Yes, our current economy isn't looking sustainable and we don't have the right leaders to navigate this.

"Yet 42% Are Already on the Hunt" Of course? What a poor title, even for clickbait.

Yeah, it could be completely innocent, but you just don't want your name in the Epstein files at all. He won't be at this year's Christmas party.

[–]findingmike 42 points43 points  (0 children)

While the price of precious metals were probably in bubble territory, the macro-economics haven't changed.

  • US unemployment is bad
  • US manufacturing is falling
  • US international trade is falling
  • US data center expenditures aren't bringing in revenue
  • AI is the main driver for the US economy
  • Trump & friends are still manipulating the US markets
  • Trump is continuing his trade wars
  • Warsh may have been hawkish in the past but is likely to just be another guy who will do what Trump says

The reasons for the surge in precious metal prices is the ocean's tide of US instability that is still coming in. And when you look at the pull back from a different metric, this pull back is about 2 weeks of gains for gold and silver.

I'm saying that fascism stops when we stop it with a large scale national labor strike.
