oh yeah that reminds me of an 80 yr old lady I know. She's land rich and insanely poor. Like if she sold all her real estate assets she'd probably have easily over a million dollars. But she doesn't want to sell anything just cause. But she's super poor. Like she literally needs a new roof on her trailer and can't afford it. But is sitting on 7 figures of assets lol.

Hell my FIL is that way not that I'm thinking about it. He can't take care of his house he's in a booming hood in Houston and has like 8 acres to boot. He keeps borrowing against it to afford shit and still owes like 100k on it which would still net him a pretty penny for the whole set up. I keep telling him just sell the shit and buy a small home out right and get out of the debt and whatever, but he's super stubborn about it.

this is exactly what is happening. Even in the US. The big ones are buying up all the little ones and stopping their drilling programs entirely. They want to slow the output, reduce competition to kill the service industry.. Then years from now when our production begins to plummet and prices skyrocket politicians will act real surprised.

Can't wait for this to come about actually.

Most boomers and whatever came right after boomers don't even have decent retirements.. That's what's sorta funny about all this. I know quite a few 60s and 70s yr olds that legit don't have enough to sustain their lifestyles and still have to work. The system failed LONG before Millennials showed up.

Many of them went their whole lives "not trusting the stock market" just to literally have no retirement. Much of it was lack of education and access to the stock market when they could have been investing, but then at the same time it is a pretty stupid fucking system of retirement when without notice you can lose 40% of value because some bankers fucked around.

The system sucked for them that's why they still have to work, but instead of trying to fix it, they just complain that it's their kids fault.

if you are found not guilty you can't be tried for that crime again.

They'll figure out how to get it appealed up to the bought and paid for supreme court and that'll save him.

nah I know the kind of people you are who call entitlements welfare. You purposely conflate the 2 and spread your misinformation for more idiots to pick up. You're brainwashed by a party that has become completely radicalized. I say this as a person who use to vote republican.

Our government has to spend tons of money on all the shit it spends money on. We should consider other ways of collecting money to defeat the inflation problem. It's really very fucking simple if you get right down to it.

As soon as we get rid of the theocrats we can probably solve it.

I mean people like you are actual dumbasses..

What do you think happens if they ended entitlements??? Where do you think all of that money goes? INTO THE ECONOMY.. if we end entitlements we'd see the largest depression ever in the US.

Our economy is what it is BECAUSE of them. You think if the government just spent 0 money we'd somehow be better off? Even though literally every other major economic powerhouse hase entitlements and welfare lol.

It's just pure propagandized stupidity.

When the US government stops spending the entire world will spiral into a depression and the US would take longer to come out of it. We'd be ruined economically for the remainder of your life.

But yeah go on with your stupid fucking take.

Sending weapons to Ukraine is also a huge economic boost with the added benefit of securing yet another eventual base and massive political power in that region while destabilizing an aggressive dictatorship shit hole.

Fucking pittance in the grand scheme of things and amazingly smart move by our current leaders. If you think they'd actually spend it on our citizens that's the other funny part. The republican talking points are on and on about "look what we could do with this money" while they themselves want to further take from citizens and give to billion dollar organizations.

Oh but they are too busy trying to install a theocracy to give a fuck about helping citizens anwyay. Mostly republican states that still have not legalized weed because they rather throw people in jail than get a major boost to tax revenue that could go to actual communities in need.

Republican states with the worst education by far and shittiest teacher pay.

Republican states with the worst health care and highest infant mortality..

etc....

But yeah for sure we'd have magically taken that money and put it to good use instead of defending an ally while boosting the shit out of our economy with said defense lol.

Stop listening to pod casts.. You want to know why the government needs to spend that money follow the federal reserve and modern monetary theory. Economically we are still a leader in the entire world with not even close to the highest population. How do you think we keep that going? By cutting off entitlements, welfare, and allowing Russia to expand it's territory and influence?

Fucking brain dead fucking take.

Entitlements are not welfare. Period. Welfare is hardly a drop in the overall bucket. Entitlements are money that people are owed because they paid in. As in they are entitled to that. Welfare is paying for poor people to be able to survive.

You are purposely mixing the 2 because you fall for the serious propaganda on the "right" that somehow social security should be ended. If they end it they owe us that money back.
