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.

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


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.

Don't like it? Suck it up.

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

Why would I despise China?

China can build a 10 km bridge in the time the Dan Andrews cfmeu alliance can build a piece of Ikea furniture.
So much to admire.

China is full of hard working patriots and a government surveillance system  to punish morons.

American is full of obese entitled dickheads who spend their day fussing about somalians, trans rights and Gaza.

We are going to live in an autocratic surveillance society,  like it or not.

Much better to have intelligent efficient leaders who reward industriousness and punish sooky entitled takers

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.

And that's okay. Liberalism ended far too soon, no?

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.

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?

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%.”

You have your answer, most prescription medications cost me less than $10. Money doesn't come in denominations that are 1500% less than $2.45. Insurance pays most of the cost of medication.

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.


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:
The post Trump era as you call it may well be the end of freedom.


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

Quote:
The World is getting better but the other side is sure to turn that around as soon as they take power again.



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:
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.


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 know a fair number of so called poor people living from "paycheck to paycheck". Mostly their situation is self inflicted due to poor money management. You can't have it all now because someone will extend you credit. Most are either lazy or have no idea the opportunities available. I personally know a man who became a millionaire mowing lawns.

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.

Don't like it? Suck it up.

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

DRAIN THE SWAMP !!!



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.




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?



Competance is the admirable feature.
If you need a bit of authoritarian leadership to accomplish that , no problem.


What IS a problem in a democracy is the ratio of lifters to learners.
Of contributors to takers .

In 1950 Australia or the USA it was 80 % contributors to 20 % takers.
Now those numbers have flipped.

With 80 % now on welfare in the public service or doing some created BS job created by government, HR or working for the NDIS or childcare or on the climate scam, we see the tyranny of the taker bossing around the conributor.

In China you contribute or starve.

In China if you want to be a Muslim or a trans activist, XI labels you mentally ill and you go to a work camp and contribute whilst you are re educated.

A fair system, a meritocracy, a system of responsibility to you fellow citizens conducive to group harmony

You have your answer, most prescription medications cost me less than $10. Money doesn't come in denominations that are 1500% less than $2.45. Insurance pays most of the cost of medication.



Grin Grin The Texuus educational system everybody. The reason why morty torty's Rx drug claim his meds cost $10 is due governmental assistance or he is lying.


Now, who pays for the rest of morty torty antipsychotic medication? That's right, people who actually have to work. Something a government parasite like morty torty will never understand  Shocked
