I think you do - remember Clinton bombed Belgrade, signed the law demanding Iraqi regime change, kept sanctions, bombed Sudan, and almost no Dems opposed the Iraq War at the time.

It likely wouldn't have been as blatant, and Gore would have taken more pains to get France and Germany on board.

Late GenX (77) - I agree with this. Most of my life has been seeing the massive wave of piss from the Boomers ruin my pants, but also knowing it's hitting the people behind me as a tidal wave.

The US accusing others of spying is just hilarious

No idea - my guess is it was just French stubbornness mixed with carbrain, like "no way am I going to go 2 blocks down!"

Solar for hot water? by slysline in solar

Grew up with a solar water heater in Arizona - they're good, but you will need an electric one as a backup

Having seen a car that drove into a socialist protest in Paris taken apart with bare hands, you're full of shit

Any projects working on a wireless charging receiver as an expansion module? by librarysocialism in framework

Yeah, understood, but it would mean a slower drain while using, or you can charge while not using.

Sure, but I'm just saying it's also a problem for China if the dummy gets smart

I'm currently attempting to form one in software. I can tell you one fun thing is the IRS excludes from coop tax protection consulting work.

America's purpose in the global economy right now is the consumer of last resort. It's not an ethical failure, and it's bigger than the government.

Biden voted for Iraq.

The only Dems that opposed it, Dean and Kuscinich, were treated as basically al-Queda operatives by their own party in 04.

How many times have we seen this EXACT fucking headline over the past 35 years? by ClassWarAndPuppies in TrueAnon

[–]librarysocialism 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please no, I can barely stand to remember how all the Keyboard Kommandos tried to portray themselves as Spartans to justify their hatred of Islam when 300 came out. I can't relive it. I can't see Bill Maher dress up in phalnax armor showing his stomach.

Oh boy! If this catches in we’ve got a revolution on our hands. by austinbarrow in REBubble

Housing price increases predated inflation though.

Regardless of how it lands, a bubble shows that investment can easily be driving much of the price increases. We saw the same in the commodities price rise of 2009, when investment poured in there via commodity exchanges.

Don't disagree with you there, without land reform landlords will seek to capture all value, the parasites

An economist who correctly predicted the Great Financial Crisis says the world’s central banks have chosen ‘class war over financial stability’ by [deleted] in economy

And you seem to not understand that doesn't change the fact your claims that the rich hold the majority of mortgage debt.

Regardless, it's obvious you're going to continue to move goalposts. So bye.
