Free-market elections are stolen by the state. Deep State = Spend State. Synchronicities. Numbers. Words. Perusing Ghostly Planes of No Population.

@pairunoyd @NewmanJ_R When a producer sets a price for a product, that's an asking price, not an accepted price.
When a customer exchanges money for a product, that establishes the minimum value of that product and also makes the producers' asking price the accepted price.
English
Spending does not determine prices.
"The mechanical passing of a specific sum of money from one hand to the next in exchange, that is, 'spending,' is completely governed by the money price that has been antecedently established by the exchanging parties. Thus the money spent is merely an outcome of the pricing process and in no sense a causal factor. In other words, the aggregate flow of money spending is determined by the value of money and not the other way around." - Salerno

Women once spent nearly 50 hours a week on housework on average.
It's not moral decay but a sign of technological progress that there are fewer scenes of heroines scrubbing floors.

In many early disney narratives, scenes of cleaning are not incidental, they function as a form of visual shorthand. The association between domestic work and moral worth reflects older cultural ideals, where patience, diligence & self-sacrifice were considered defining virtues.

@StatisticUrban government being destroyed is freedom being restored. trumps no friend of freedom but dismantling those we must pay or lose our freedom or life is a wonderful thing. let them get by on mutual consent. do away with the coercion.

Changes like this, even if they can even be reversed, will consume inordinate amounts of time for the next Dem administration.
It's much, much easier to destroy something than to create it.

The Trump administration has announced it plans to dismantle the US Forest Service. All 10 regional offices are set to close in addition to over 50 research labs.

Imagine I told you that AI was going to create a 40% unemployment rate. Sounds catastrophic. Now imagine I told you that AI was going to create a 3-day working week. Sounds wonderful.
Yet to a first approximation these are the same thing. marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu…

@jamesanthony_us @NewmanJ_R Quote Newman and his quote. Quote yoursef. Ask Gemini what you're missing, what you're overlooking, what you're not understanding.
English
@NewmanJ_R In a broad sense, yes.
But at the same time, each act of spending is what establishes the value of the money and what puts into action the producer’s asking price.

@larken_rose Remember when @ThomasEWoods bemoaned your lack of loyaltly, apparently giving it priority over the truth?

I think we're at the "cats and dogs...living together!" stage of things now when this guy is saying this stuff. Has the grift angle shifted or something? Or are they all fleeing a sinking ship? If this is what the tea leaves are looking like, how do we read this?

Alex Jones: 5-6 times a day, it's, 'Oh, we won, it's over. No, it's gonna go on forever. I'll never let them have the Strait. Yes, we're giving up the Strait. I'm getting out of NATO. We're staying in NATO.' When you know people in early dementia, that is exactly what they do.

This is embarrassing, however…
NASA’s Artemis launch: $4B
California bullet train: $126B
Meanwhile, Musk launches SpaceX rockets for roughly $70M.
Government builds cost billions.
Entrepreneurs figure out how to do it for millions.

@SethDillon You support an inveterate liar and a self-absorbed psychopath. He's one of the most prideful men to have ever existed and the Bible says it's an abomination. You never think maybe you're siding with the devil?

You can’t find the truth by anything but sheer luck if you’re starting from the conclusion and working backwards.

@Lib_Development thats the books. didnt they trade silver and gold?

You’ll never guess what they used to trade grain in ancient Sumer
@ratlimit@ratlimit
Something feminine about a man using spreadsheets. You were meant to trade grain in ancient Sumeria

I dont get it
All of a sudden Trump critics are saying hes a chicken for NOT blowing up Iran??
I thought we WANTED him not to strike Iran

Who cares. You now defend glyphosate after campaigning against it as a nefarious poison for years. You claimed to defend children's health but then defended the mass murder, maiming and starvation of multitudes of children in Gaza. You once railed against mass surveillance and the militarization of healthcare but now market surveillance wearables as essential to American "health" and are still letting military/intelligence contractor Palantir run all of HHS' data.
You have absolutely zero credibility and are a salesman for what you once claimed to hate.
