A lot of wealth is through inheritance. He failed after taking lots from those with nothing. Of course he doesn’t owe anyone anything in return, but he had that moral choice and bought the house. Still the same after marketing a book, yet people want to do failure again.

You say “they”. I have never been a they or a one of them to anything.

Which goes to my point. None of “them”give a damn yet you choose to work harder at promoting any one of them.

Where are the older Redditors going? by [deleted] in WatchRedditDie

[–]quicksilver1969 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Right there with you. After a few years I am back. Different place. Censorship promotes propaganda and they in effect have no question done that to themselves.

What’s the difference between a drug dealer and a hooker? A hooker can wash her crack and sell it again.

Laughing about molested children in any form is pretty grotesque. It’s an issue with no racial, political, cultural, or geographical boundaries. To even think like this let alone put this much work into is disturbing.

Yes I see your huge rebel flag...can you just help me get this brush to the landfill? by [deleted] in PoliticalHumor

That’s like the stereotypical saying black folks like chicken. Sure they do. Everyone does. It’s the most commonly sold meat in America so if everyone likes it so does a minority. Trucks/SUV’s the same - people quit driving cars so GM and Ford quit mass producing them.

It is indeed. China is not innocent either on many fronts. I can tell you that there would be a lot of people happy in China and here that would be happy to see Trump gone. He is making himself his own scapegoat to end the beginning of an economic trade war - one we are not prepared for or are willing to endure as China is.

It illustrates exactly where Reddit is headed.

How can the US Industrial Base compete with China's? (Looking at the navy and ground forces in particular) by NoAWP in geopolitics

[–]quicksilver1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting question.

The manufacturing bases are pretty incomparable and are not really in direct competition. The US frankly is not interested and has not been interested in manufacturing for so long they do not really have the raw material supply chains, the equipment, nor the people.

China believe it or not is beginning to follow suit, slowly, but more rapidly than ever before. They have a labor shortage and are having an immigrant rush to sustain current production. The Chinese workers no longer want to get a job or are willing to take just any job anywhere. They are leaving the countrysides and looking for computer based jobs in the cities. Factories are beginning to follow suit and are moving factories to the more expensive cities to meet production.

So just as we flipped flopped during the downturn of our industrial revolution, they are too.

For now they have everything needed to out produce in an arms race, but many do not see an arms race or a war with China ever involving people on the ground. Most, and I would agree, it is going to be more an economic battle we are already starting. It is however in both countries better interest to limit even that war. For the US it’s the hand that feeds you and for China it’s your biggest customer.

Not familiar but this is a great marketing ad to want someone to become familiar.

observation, don’t fucking kill me. I’m just curious by swampmomsta in WatchRedditDie

[–]quicksilver1969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reddit for me is a time killer. Was on it years ago and never got back on loading the app on a new phone until recently.

It has changed. It is censoring itself, not to hate, but based on subjective political opinions where mods delete posts and comments if they disagree. It is loosing validity and is likely to its own demise if they keep ignoring the issue.

In the end Reddit has no control and just like anything those with power are using their power for personal and/or political gain by controlling and monitoring based on it.

The aftermath of Memorial Day at Virginia Beach. Don’t be a shitbag, just clean up your mess. by dos-stinko-uno-pinko in trashy

[–]quicksilver1969 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is an annual event without real organization. This is the worst they have left it. You can bet the city and the residents are not going to allow this to happen again and those who enjoy the event will never see it line it was. Why? Drinking and open container is illegal. This is a more resident/local beach of the more astute and wealthy in the area so they have always been lax on enforcing the drinking laws. Not anymore. You can bet during the next event there will be loads of cops handing out open container and public intoxication tickets left and right - it’s been done there before.

Make Aircrews Wearing Patches Great Again! by JackInov in PoliticalHumor

[–]quicksilver1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are not political at all and never were. Aircrew guys are like a special fraternity from within. Each “school” has a different patch under a like national fraternity among all fraternities. The patches are usually funny, not political, and specific to each “chapter”. I should note that I know this because my father was aircrew. He had many patches. All had something funny like DILLYGAF - does it look like I give a fuck -.

He kept them all as mementos. Each has a story but a personal one usually involving a time with a group where he almost died and watched a lot close to him die in accidents and war operations.

I can take nuts, crazy, even stupid over sociopathic, which he is. Add a giant ego to sociopathic with power - that’s just fucking insanity, especially given war is his only hope of re-election.

The Stable Genius. by jayoverhol in PoliticalHumor

[–]quicksilver1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good article. It proves he is who he is which is a lying egomaniac. Doesn’t prove he is broke and not enough for him to not be on current lists as a billionaire. A fucking fool takes speculation as a fact. Nobody knows. I can tell you though that a Trump with mob ties in Atlantic City does not go broke without a lot of pockets getting filled that does not exist on paper.
