The Ugly One dijo:
They believe that an economy can subsist entirely on printing money. You don't actually need mines, factories, logging, oil wells, farms, ports, shipyards, or any of that. You just need a central bank ready to issue currency and fiddle with interest rates, and you'll just sorta magically have everything you want. Any time you have problems, just run a few billion or trillion off the printing press, and the problems go away. The fact that we didn't all die during the COVID lockdowns seemed to them to confirm this belief.

i swear, rich retards need to die or try to live their life on an average wage for once
 
the fuck are you niggas making that takes you 3 straight hours of nonstop kitchen work? even when i make something that takes multiple hours to cook I'm not slaving away in the kitchen the entire time, it's like 20 mins of prep time max and the rest is just waiting for stuff to heat up and letting the food cook. this isn't an all day affair that takes up all of your time.

We're in the "everything is political" segment. Horseshoe theory yada yada.

Not everything is political, but the quality of our food is directly linked to politics. It's not simply "we are rich and affluent now," because other first world countries eat better than us. It's not a "self control" issue because Americans were having perfect self control for centuries, so what changed? Politics from up high which shifted social trends towards poor health by lobbying of the food and agricultural sectors.

And yes, nothing stops individuals to choose to just eat healthy, but what is a few thousand people realizing they're eating goyslop and getting better food to the millions that still are not because the social conditioning engrained from corporate-government aligned policy?

At least discuss how to solve this problem politically, then. People are talking about crock pots and meal prep. That isn't politics, it's food.

Who’s excited for the National strike that’s only going to last a single day, just like the economic blackout that only lasted a single day?

How many people are going to get fired for taking part in this retardation or catch shit from their coworkers for it? Place your bets!

Man I love how they do these strikes on fucking weekdays when people literally have to work, and then they wonder why nobody shows up.

You all don't even need to get that complicated with the 'food is political' take, because it's not even that complicated; industry giants lobby politicians who will let practices slide that keep their margins as green as possible which oftentimes happens at the detriment of our health. You could sum it up with 'because it's cheaper'. At the end of the day it's all about the money.

Especially with big YouTube cooking channels who have become less and less approachable for home cooks and people with family.

I have a whole playlist for myself saved, everything from breakfasts to desserts, and if the meal can't be explained in less than ten minutes and can't be explained without your face on the camera then it probably isn't about the actual food and I skip it.

-Reduce inflation which gets rid of the need for a two-income family household, that means there is someone to cook at the kitchen
-Find any ABC agency who psyopped second wave feminism and cut out any remnants of that psyoping "women in the workplace"
-Cut all corn, rapeseed, and soybean agricultural subsidies. While I prefer no subsidies, if there is any, go for avocado, olive, and coconut subsidies, maybe subsidies for bee farming too
-Get rid of the years upon decades of lobbied messaging about fats, carbs, etc. I would argue the whole propaganda machine should be dismantled but if it had to stay, just push the opposite - foods without HFCS or seed oils
-Put in large text "This food has HFCS/Seed Oils which is linked to inflammation, cancer, and heart disease" for any food with even small amounts of it
-Stop fucking with the meat industry and allow cattle farming to be more widespread

What kind of dumb fucking question is that. Why the fuck would you ask the most important man on earth the dumbest and mundane question like that.

If the transcript was literal (I cannot load the video for the life of me) then it seemed to me the reporter was taking a jab at O'Donnell, making a joke.
 
SaidNoOneEver dijo:
You can't have it both ways after claiming the price increases after the inauguration were Biden's fault. Pick one and stick with it maybe?

that's true if you dont know what the causes are. mid feb 2025 saw a big importation of eggs which is causing the price of eggs to drop now.
SaidNoOneEver dijo:
It's all infantile semantics anyway.

and this is true if you're a retard.

They're quitting something they never do for a day?




But line going down means lower numbers and that's bad. Line going up is always good regardless of how or why. Don't you understand that funny numbers are the end all be all for economic health? Just add more money to the money pool and that makes the economy better. Forget your bank accounts. Forget the jobs or industries that actually produce value. The markets are bearish and that means the wrong people are losing money. Now the world's on fire and it's your fault. You stupid idiots. How dare you.

Speaking of, line gon up today. The stock market is up across the board due to lower than expected inflation reports.
 
Gavin Newsom apparently secretly partially funded the creation of his own monument in San Francisco’s City Hall. The total cost was $97,000. He donated money from companies he owns to a nonprofit and earmarked the payments for “Mayoral Bust at San Francisco City Hall.”
