Why are you acting as if the insanity pushed by a few, represents the public opinion at large? Are you just trying to make everyone feel angry and depressed?

Stop.

honestly don't care about women with penises or whatever the fake news is saying about our fake politicians I just want the economy to be as good as it was in the 90s

it probably ain't happening

Yeah exactly. All I want is our middle class back, that has been systematically destroyed over the last 40 years

in the 80s economy was pretty trash, that is why Bill Clinton won, I don't think who the president was made a difference either because toward end of bill clintons time it started collapsing then it really did at beginning of bush, tho that got blamed on 9/11 but I don't see how a few buildings and just 3k dying can cause a global recession (I can see how something like a lockdown would of course). Then it shit the bed completely at end of W Bush's time, then slowly improved under Obama but it kept improving under Trump till now it has shit the bed but we all know why and it's not cuz of Trump, it's cuz of china plague. But all thru all these presidents it did have a net decline since the 90s altho there have been a few upticks here and there followed by collapses where it never completely recovers.

It almost feels by design. With each collapse/recovery cycle, more wealth gets siphoned to the 0.01%.

Median American buying power was strongest in 1973. Will we ever get there again?

Good point yeah I think it can be hard to pin point when the economy was at it's highest, might be 73, I think it might have been the day JFK was killed. Cuz after that LBJ had disasterous social justice policies that hurt things but Nixon tried to reverse them, he was against jews which is why he was framed and forced to resign.

A lot of trade goes on at the Twin Towers at least at that time. 9/11 destroyed a lot of computers that dealt in these trades. I still wonder if there is any remains of the data from the original computers used..........

that never made much sense to me they didn't have stuff saved elsewhere? they had the cloud back then. I remember the theory about the info about missing 2 trillion dollars being destroyed at the pentagon too. I think the economy was going to decline anyway, because of overall shitty economic policies anyway.

Clinton won, because he was selected by the democratic party. He was involved in the Bush family cartel because of the Mena drug smuggling connection.
Clinton was/is controlled.

Clinton is Bush Lite.

He betrayed the American working family.
Pushed through NAFTA.
Shipped manufacturing to China.
Etc.

The Clinton's are globalist republicans in all but name.

Globalist Republicans have been in the Whitehouse since 1980, because CIA Bush Sr was the VP.

I'm on the fence about Regan. The cold war was ended under his term, and he was either senile or slowly poisoned/drugged IMO (Bush Sr ran against Regan in 80 and nothing is below that man).

Either way, Unipolar Globalism hadn't taken hold under Regan.

Say what you will about Trump, but he is the first non-globalist president since at least 88.

Trump cancelled the TPP.
He deserves tremendous praise for this particular action.

Oh.... Tom

The Clintons sold weapons to China which is how they got power. They were caught but the press brushed it aside and people were too scared to threaten them. If you did you were considered a 'suicide' victim.

How come Trump sat on his hands and feet for 4 years?

[–]magnora7 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

Same reason they all do. They've been bought out by big money interests.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

How do we end big money?

[–]magnora7 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

We end big money by ceasing to obsess about money as a culture

How do we do that? Individual self-sufficiency and small businesses

He has nominee accounts in China. He is a parasite as are all the oligarchs who steal our labor.

I remember when things like Epcot was EPCOT (Experimental Protocol Community of Tomorrow) not Experimental Protocol Community of Today nor Experimental Protocol Community of Movie IP's.

Spaceship Earth is the only thing not movie based now that UOE has been torn down both versions. RIP Ellen and Stupid Judy!! https://youtu.be/rRRTujzuTOs?t=1288 "But Ellen that makes no sense she has a PHD!" "She's the professor of ENERGY!!!" "Who needs stupid Judy and her stupid energy!"
