True @hindy111 with marxists arguing that the more excessive plunder of capitalism is softened by social security etc ( crumbs) to stop the masses from rising up.

And over the last 30 years the increasing propaganda of the market embedding itself in community consciousness.

And distractions of other social issues.


I look at capitalism as another era in world history. That Venice wedding was gross, imagine if the sick prick had spent the money on hospitals and serviced in poor countries?

Or trying to help feed the people in Gaza?

Yes sir

sorry mate, you know who to ask

Meanwhile people idolise the orange guy for the austerity measures of the Big Beautiful Bill.

The ‘big, beautiful bill’ has reaffirmed that a pledged golden age is really just a windfall for the uber-wealthy

Yes, it was always a cash grab for the sections of the rich and the poorest have been smashed. The analysis says Trump is rewarding certain sectors but not others.

In the meantime shooting and killing civilians trying to get food packages so they don’t die from hunger-seems quite insane and has only managed to drive away Israel’s allies.

How the Israelis thought this would be all fine and that the global community would tolerate and endorse it is beyond me.

Which is not to support the cowardly attacks on the Israeli civilians. That was also planned and conducted by dickwads.

God help us.

Another useless conflict courtesy of hate filled halfwitted dopey cretins.

Sage Gary.

Went the way of your nudist camp idea in the snowy mountains.

Not much demand for the see through woollen apparel you were trying to flog at the kiosk for blizzard conditions.

I am certain once Trump is gone there will be just as many problems as there are currently. He might enable them but he hasn't created them.
Only a poorly educated individual would think differently

As Billy Joel once (almost) sang... "Trump Didn't Start The Fire"

The orange merkin just kept pouring petrol on it every f**king day!

Mate I agree. Because it is true. His idea seem outdated.
But Biden was worse

Yeah, big funding seems systemic in American politics. A lot of money to blow on failed leadership attempts.

Even then, Trumpy is pretty unpredictable making for an interesting presidency to say the least.

Winners and losers in these things.

It all depends on your circumstances I guess.

Twas was good watching Elon get skinned alive.
