A meter is almost exactly the same as a yardstick. Why would anyone use two rulers?

That’s why I think trump will go down in the polls as we get closer to the election. The American public genuinely did want trump to shut up when Biden said that. I hope Biden tells him to shut up again at this debate with the muted mics. It would make him go nuts.
Literally just say “I whooped your ass and I’ll do it again.” Trump would lose his mind. He never encounters people who say that to him. Everyone around him is a sycophant.
The indigenous people are the shareholders, so no it isn’t.
Yeah, multivitamins work but $0.25 is way too much. You can get it down to $0.06 per pill if you look around. $0.09 is normal.
No? The coup was stopped through non-violent resistance and diplomatic pressure. That’s the opposite of what you’re saying.
No, it’s time to vote. Fucking vote.
You think that high interest rates keep real estate prices high? That’s the opposite of what happens with high interest rates. People can’t afford to pay as much when interest rates are high (like they are now).
I’m judging solely based on your comments. You are using big words incorrectly. You clearly don’t understand what you’re talking about if you think high interest rates keep real estate prices high. Also, your description of Japan’s economic problems are disjointed and confused, not correct.
Attendance at his rallies is already down. He is already fading.
Yeah, this is what convinced me. He already was president and lost as the incumbent. It’s the biggest advantage you can have. He’s not winning.
The average moderate voter is lazy and doesn’t think about politics until a month before the election. Trump will be a way worse candidate in Oct 2024 than Oct 2020 or Oct 2016: older, fatter, smellier, more boring.
He has lost his novelty factor and now only has shock value to get attention. It will fade once people remember that he does crazy shit all the time.
This isn’t going to do anything. First of all, North Korea is probably not going to send battle ready soldiers to a foreign country. There’s really no reason for it. They might send ditch diggers for trenches.
Second of all, this isn’t going to move the needle on the battlefield. Russia already has more troops than Ukraine. They need more and better arms and ammunition, plus better support, training, airplanes, missiles, drones, commanders, etc. Basically Russia needs a completely different military.
It’s not a “failed model”. Japan has issues because banks committed fraud and disguised non-performing loans. There are strict rules in the US about when assets must be “marked to market”. Plus the US has a growing population because we let in immigrants, which supports a growing economy. We are not close to having problems like Japan.
There are also many levers the Federal Reserve can pull to keep banks in check. As I said, they can raise and lower the reserve requirement and raise and lower the overnight lending rate. This can prevent banks from going nuts with lending, but obviously can’t prevent all asset bubbles. Sometimes people are just irrational.
Frankly you seem to be using a bunch of big words and implying that they make a point. Using “ex nihilo” instead of “from nowhere” clinched it for me. Also, you spelled “keiretsu” wrong.
Yes, they still have it. It’s just not in cash.
Fractional reserve banking works because most people don’t need all their money as soon as they get paid. Most businesses keep some money in the bank too. Banks have a required percent of deposits that they must keep on hand to allow these withdrawals. And if they run low on cash, they just borrow money for a day from other banks (literally just one day). The US government can adjust the percent of required reserves or the overnight lending rate to keep banks from lending too much money out.
Banks use this money to loan to businesses or people buying houses. It works well because whenever the money is loaned out it is used for a purchase and just redeposited in another bank. A percentage of that money is retained by the bank and the rest is loaned out again. And again and again. This way money is “created” when people buy things in the economy.
Maybe, but trump couldn’t beat “Scranton Joe” in PA even when he was the incumbent. He’s not going to do it this time.
I mean, the Four Seasons Landscaping press conference debacle happened in PA. It’s not going to happen.
It’s cheap to treat TB. You are ignoring the fact that the medical systems in many of these countries do not pay enough doctors or buy enough medicine for their citizens. People die of malnutrition too. That’s prevented by eating.
In a bipartisan vote of 133-69, the Pennsylvania House passed legislation that would add state-level protections for contraceptive access in the Keystone State.
And somehow people believe polls showing Biden losing PA. These people are not going to vote for Trump.
“You better hire another negotiator within 48 hours, and fire this clinical idiot who values Americans’ bank secrecy at $50,000,” the LockBit post said
My friend, you don’t want the Federal Reserve to be mad at you. They’re offering a low price because the alternative is that you spend 20 years in a federal prison.
You’re lucky they’re embarrassed about the hack. I’m surprised they’re offering anything besides, “Turn yourself in and we won’t yank you out of your house in Bulgaria in the middle of the night”.
Some people want to feel bad.
No it doesn’t. The US especially has spent a ton of money building up countries it has defeated in war.
The prime minister decides that their only course of action is to declare war on the United States. Expecting a quick and total defeat (since their standing army is tiny and equipped with bows and arrows), the country confidently expects to rebuild itself through the largesse that the United States bestows on all its vanquished enemies
They don’t love America. They love hierarchy.
This representative probably thinks he deserves the combat badge because of his imagined status.
This is the Ariana Grande clone who gives the concert in the movie:
It’s M Night Shyamalan’s daughter. This movie is just trying to boost her image. Lol.
