The shrinking of the middle class is mostly the responsibility of said middle class. People whose parents were middle class have chosen not to embrace the ideals that moved their parents into the middle class. You wouldn't have seen any of those old school guys standing in line at Starbucks for example. Most of the fault lies in ourselves no matter what most Europeans here will tell you.

Only when it has recently hit epic proportions (people going into medical bankruptcy, CEOs being paid hundreds of times what their employees make, wages stagnating for decades) have you seen the proverbial 'call to arms.' Even then the working class is split regarding opinion of who or what is to blame. It's a bizarre form or manipulation, I'll grant you that, but it is psychological manipulation, none-the-less

The thing with stories such as those above. Presidents in reality have very little control over the economy. It’s the U.S. Congress which determines fiscal policies and the FED answers only to Congress. Presidents do not dictate economic policy but they can work to add their ideas to the bill. Hell, Congress if they want can even force a bill through without a presidents signature. But then that would put the spot light on Congress and they know Presidents make great scapegoats.

Rationally, Putin has zero reason to attack Ukraine. Especially when he can without much work just keep it the unstable, corrupt, crap hole it already is.
On the other hand some have every reason to gin up a war. It’s what leaders do when they founder and “lose credibility”. Get ready, it’s not a matter of if but how much the FED is going to start raising rates to combat inflation and there’s not going to be a “soft landing”. But rest assured your the representatives you keep voting in and who the FED answers to will be rich.

These self starters when asked, have all said they found college too confining in pushing outdated theories and practices being taught in many cases by party hacks. Some of these professors have never worked professionally in their fields and essentially hide out in the colleges teaching and espousing principals that have in many cases been superseded by better and more cost effective means. This isn't all that common though, in my experiences. It may be in other peoples experiences, though. In my case, I lucked out in college as my professors were well known in their respective fields of expertise and they kept up with the times. |

I can't find an argument against that. I was thinking Erik the Red, but even exiled like his father, he still had slaves and could muster a fleet to quest for Greenland and settlement.

Was this produced and released from Martha's Vineyard Ma. ?
The bastion of the old Roman ways of life. And did Epstein recreate an Island many miles from true Power and Debauchery. How many young teenagers bones lie at the bottom of the sea around these islands because they believed for one night or a week they would walk among gods. |

If you want to really know history, The world has to know who the Hunters were that provided the slaves. And if people hunted down their own people and sold them as slaves don't you think the world should know that to? Don't you agree? that's something no one wants to talk about.
