Trump is discovering he can't 'produce the goods' because.....it’s time for governments to take control of resource mobilization via intelligent central planning (made practicable in the age of AI), to achieve sustainable resource allocation, given ‘invisible hand’ markets are increasingly unable to function properly in an era of ecological distress, increasing population, and mal-distribution of resources manifesting in entrenched poverty and soaring inequality, as well as the looming ecological collapse.

Even Musk hasn’t realised it yet, despite claiming that “AI will render currencies irrelevant” and “work will be optional”…..

Can the prospect of (increasingly evident) political chaos, following economic dysfunction and looming ecological disaster, change men’s thinking?

Sadly, the tariff cheques had to be spent on $Trump crypto. It began at $154.29 and is now $4.85 due to Biden's disastrous incompetence.  It will be great again.

Yes, but do you think the Dems can fix the current political hyperpartisanship which is tearing the US apart?

I’m responsible for ICE
a mess of that I've made.
I got Proud Boys armed and badged,
And Some Racists over paid.

I’m responsible for the border,
The DHS oversees
I can put on any uniform,
I love my accessories.

I’m responsible for the elections,
Yeah I’m out over my skis,
You may say that their not mine to touch
Same with Corey Lewandowski.

But I want the right people voting,
and the right people to lead,
That means if I gotta block your vote,
I’ll do whatever I need.
Cause I want the right people voting,
the ones who agree with me
I’m saying the quiet part out loud
Bye bye Democracy.

Remember Minneapolis?
We came we saw we left,
Was practice for Election Day,
When I try the biggest theft

Remember January 6?
Those pardoned work for me,
They stood back and stood by,
Now they're in our army

But I want the right people voting,

That means if I gotta block your vote,
I’ll do whatever I need.

Remember the folks we killed,
On the streets for all to see

Same question to you: do you think the Dems can fix the cost of living crisis affecting the 50% of Americans who are living paycheck to paycheck (if they even have a job,...)?

Politicians need to start thinking about the post Trump era, because global political instability caused by economic dysfunction isn't going away.

Apparently most people don't seem to understand what living "paycheck to paycheck" means. It doesn't mean those people are living in desperation and fear about how they are going to pay their way in the world. I know many people who live "paycheck to paycheck" and most live a lavish lifestyle above their ability to pay it all back. As long as the income continues they appear to be wealthy.

The post Trump era as you call it may well be the end of freedom. The World is getting better but the other side is sure to turn that around as soon as they take power again. What the other side wants is total control over your lives and I expect that you will feel safer knowing wise people are in control of your lives.

The Stock Market was even better for you in 2024, dear.

The question is, why aren't your drugs 1500% cheaper?

They'd be paying you to take them. The way things are in your country now, dear, I can see why.

We should chip in to have you medicated. If we could fix 37% of US voters, we'd solve the Western world's biggest problem just like that.

We will make America great again, no?

Doge needs to be seen in the context of the public private alliance that is the future model for power.

Trump and Musk are in such alliance.
JD Vance and Peter thiel are in such an alliance.

Musk needs access to government software if he and his team ate to take over the functioning of American society.
The data can feed his AI and he needs that as well for the new crypto currency he will run through X.

Thiel similarly needs the access to massive data through Google and meta to feed his AI and usher in the PayPal bit coin.

As Musk, Trump, JD and Theil correctly recognise, China is bounding ahead in developing AI and digital currency and the USA needs to catch up.

In truth, china's autocracy runs much better then the failed American system and its time that these 4 intelligent patriotic men saved the USA from itself

You obviously dont know many low-income people living paycheck to pay check.

Cost of living pressures are real for these people; and an unexpected one-off expense can increase the pressure immensely. That's why Trump's poll numbers are declining.


Quote:

C-O-L pressures aren't "freedom"; and Trump has failed to fix it.   


Quote:

No, the world is getting worse which is why democracies around the are becoming unstable as the increasing cost of living pressures globally affect the poorer half of the population.


Quote:

No, both mainstream centre (ie L-R) parties are useless, hence the rise of the  "populist Right" -  and remarkably, the  socialist Left eg Mamdani in NY.

But we will see if Trump has resoived C-O-L pressures for enough people,  in the midterms....

I see. Then the US should legislate such a model, no?

In truth, China's autocracy is known by a term loathed and despised by "noble capitalists" such as yourself: socialism.

Despicable stuff.

We could debate the parameters of such a term and whether it might be more accurately described as state capitalism, but what would be the point of that?

The Superior Man, he upon the "narrow road to success", will not truck with such lefty scams. Nor will he allow DOGE to become the operating model of America Inc without being legislated by the Congress, Senate and signed into effect by your DL.

No taxation without representation is the constitutional axiom under which America Inc functions.

Right. So you've converted to communism, have you?

I think not. You're attracted to authoritarianism per se. You like Chi-na because it more accurately resembles a political model known as fascism.

What IS, indeed, the point you are grimacing about but NOT making apart from the usual point you ever make, you ever want to make, is 'Trumphitler is bad' and ... er... that's it.

Socialism - misnomer. 'Real socialism' hasn't been done anywhere and so the debate about 'parameters' is a perennial escape shute.
State capitalism - still  lefty scam, so the 'parameters' as always, are endlessly debatable. The old  'define' what the meaning of 'is' is.

Yet, whatever you call the system, whether socialism or state capitalism or whatever parameters you want to debate, the COMMUNIST Party - for that is what they call themselves - is in charge of every aspect of economic, political, cultural and social life. 
So if socialism's parameters are debatable what isn't debatable is that every time a Communist Party gets to be in charge of a country, they *uck it up, good and proper and quickish. THey all do it slightly differetnly but what is common to all is that a communist party is doing it.

Yet, whatever you call the system, whether socialism or state capitalism or whatever parameters you want to debate, the COMMUNIST Party - for that is what they call themselves - is in charge of every aspect of economic, political, cultural and social life. 
So if socialism's parameters are debatable what isn't debatable is that every time a Communist Party gets to be in charge of a country, they *uck it up, good and proper and quickish. THey all do it slightly differetnly but what is common to all is that a communist party is doing it.


You see? Then we agree. What would be the point of that?

Aquascoot's only real allegiance with the CCP is their authoritarianism, a point on which he makes himself perfectly clear.

Your attempt to debate the meaning of "is" is a mere attempt to obfuscate, but one not without it's ontological curiosity.

After all, when Marx was asked what the meaning of "is" is, he replied with a word: struggle.

Yes, beyond all the dialectical, Hegelian rhetoric, Marx could see exactly what you're up to, dear boy.

You just want to pass wind, no?

I think he doesn't have an exclusive right to give everyone a DOGE check. I pay about $2.19 a gallon for gasoline, if we bought it by the liter it would cost a little over .50 cents. Think about that the next time you go to the petrol station. I pay 0.0% APR on credit cards and how much is 1500% cheaper for drugs work out at $2.36 for a prescription? By the way, the Stock Market has been very, very good to me in the last 12 months. What a turn around from the four years before that.


The Stock Market was even better for you in 2024, dear.

The question is, why aren't your drugs 1500% cheaper?



MAGA still haven't answered that question.

“I don’t mean 50%. I mean 14 to 1,500%.”


Still not answered.


Trump mentioned those, umm, interesting percentages in a July reception with members of Congress, when he declared, “This is something that nobody else can do. We’re gonna get the drug prices down. Not 30 or 40% which would be great, not 50 or 60, no. We’re gonna get ‘em down 1,000%, 600%, 500%, 1,500%.”

Maybe Mort's researching a suitable response, Greggery.

It may not happen overnight, but it will happen, no?
