I usually don't watch the long videos everyone seems to be putting out, but this interview with Mike Davis by Lara Logan was one I'm glad I watched. Actually, I mostly just listened while I did other things. Very interesting though.

"Die Bewohner des gleichn. Villenviertels im Hamburger Westen haben dank einer über 100 Jahre alten Klausel mehr Rechte als andere Nachbarschaften[...]

Die Klausel [...] stellt sicher, dass die Anmutung des Nobelquartiers noch heute so exklusiv ist, wie es vor mehr als 100 Jahren entworfen wurde: Die großen Gärten dürfen nicht geteilt werden, Nachverdichtung, Gewerbe, alles verboten. Flüchtlingsheime natürlich auch. Einzig Villenbebauung ist erlaubt"

"Über die Einhaltung der Klausel wacht der mächtige [...] #HochkampVerein, der sogar über dem Bezirksamt steht: Wenn das Bauamt Altona einem Eigentümer eine Baugenehmigung erteilt, muss der trotzdem noch den Verein um Erlaubnis fragen. Was der Millionärsverein ablehnt, wird nicht gebaut, da kann sich die Stadt auf den Kopf stellen. Die Klausel gilt auch für das Grundstück an der Reichskanzlerstraße, das derzeit als Parkplatz dient."

Agree wholeheartedly! My first introduction to this band was in the movie, Lost in Translation, one of Bill Murray's best in my opinion, where the song Just Like Honey was used and couldn't have been more appropriate to the theme. But that song made me curious about the group and so I sought out and listened to other pieces, yet to come across anything by them I didn't love.

@Kuklinski'sJewHate @Bernard Marks @RTB I was adopted at 3 days old given up by my birth parents because they had three children and did not feel they could afford a fourth, raised primarily by my mother as my adoptive father left when I was ten, but somehow survived, bought a house, remained married and raised for children, and operate my own business. So year the circumstances story is bullshit, NOBDOY has control or choice of their circumstances but EVERYBODY has the choice of how to react to it. It is YOUR actions NOT your circumstances that matter.

I’ve heard the argument that hell is simply Christ giving man what he wants — a place absent of His love, and that the fire is a parable symbolizing eternal pain due to said absence

Idk where I stand on it personally, thought it was interesting. Not really crucial to salvation

Trump’s Popularity SURGES Four Points After Unleashing ‘Liberation Day’ Tariffs: Daily Mail

annihilationist. The Jewish people must be exterminated; it's unique. So, that just establishes its uniqueness. So, if there are non-Jews annoyed with Jews activism in Left-wing causes, I share that annoyance. But, they're not annoyed; I don't hate Jews for that. I hate those people who mislead people. I hate Trotsky; okay, I do. I hate his guts; but I'm not a Jew hater. I hate Trotsky. I feel that way about George Soros, okay, but does that lead me to Jew hatred? If ...

yeah absolutely. partly comes down to the usual classism, i think it also comes down to appalachian history of class war. the powerful wish to punish the region and keep them down lest they wake up and rise again.



The case FOR #tariffs - in one article: zerohedge.com/markets/your-dis…
#Billionaires (other than #Trump, it seems) have a difficult time answering questions like “What happens when we run out of middle #American towns to gut?” and “How has your quality of life been negatively #impacted by #monetary policy over the last 20 years?”
.
The reason they can’t answer these questions is because they don’t have any idea. Monetary policy helps them accrue more #wealth and #power, and they don’t live in middle #America. But if you take a trip to a place like Flint, Michigan, or Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the answers to these questions become a lot clearer.
.

The direction the country was heading in monetarily and fiscally was simply #unsustainable. #Deficits too big. #Debt skyrocketing against #GDP. #Wealthgap accelerating. Drug and alcohol addiction ravaging cities.


.
We were walking a path that decimated the lives and the purchasing power of the people who need it most and took American #jobs away from people who needed them the most.
.
Worse off, it made the United States #dependent on adversaries like #China to simply go about our day-to-day. When global supply chains were cut off during #COVID, it was obvious that our quality of life was 100% dependent on #imported goods—everything from consumer electronics to clothing to the ingredients used in pharmaceuticals.
.

Recalibrating the country away from being dependent on adversarial nations is not a simple and inconsequential thing to do. On the contrary, it’s about as consequential of a decision as we can possibly make, alongside of trying to get our fiscal house as a nation in order.


.
Consequential means #change. Change means #discomfort. Discomfort requires #courage. On a positive note, to me, it seems like the first time our government has taken more than a 10-day outlook on the future of our nation.

The welfare system (at least where I am) seems intentionally harming people and keeping them dependent. Makes one wonder where are all the incentives for that kind of corruption to arise. ... Obviously harm & dependence are the polar opposite of what it's supposed to do, to support people back into independence. Makes it seem like someone's profiting from keeping a flock of feebles around... and using them as a political football
(not least as a handy "other" to drum up hate for... a rather tragic and cruel example of the "wants your cookie" satire, eh? Especially when people fall for it, not realising that's their own safety net they're attacking, at the bequest of the sharks).

Money where there's constriction on the economy from impoverishment's a strong, vital, essential PART of the solution. Those who go full-bore dogmatic on UBI (as the sole remedy for all things) creep me out. Scary thing to have in the hands of dogmatists and totalitarians... the economy and all our resources and people's lives... "" ... but trust the experts, obey, because, maybe they care. ... (85% positive test for psychopathy among billionaires and CEOS etc, I heard yesterday).

Universal basic income, social dividend, universal facilities, universal provisions, universal services, and so on, all can contribute to (~ not magically make) a better world. But in this level of corruption... generations deep into the suppression of the emancipatory technologies to keep the "rentier" class on top, not by raising them up, but by keeping us all down, by their rents, on their inferior technology that also pollutes. ... It seems highly implausible they'd offer something genuinely beneficial, certainly not benevolent.

We have so much headroom, without the crooks and their corruption.

Tarriffs... seems like deckchair shuffling on the titanic.

I see real mends coming after the proliferation of the emancipatory technologies. Energy being the biggie. They don't like the idea of losing their captive market of everybody. Same with the banking system.

More than anything, it's education that helps us mend this whole situation. (And, no, not the tyrants usurp of that too; not the indoctrination in place of education.).


Consequential means #change.


... my mind starts spraying exceptions to that rule at me.

Change means #discomfort.


Nope, nor that. Exception space seems potentially larger.

Discomfort requires #courage.


Or masochism?
Or ignorance? Or stubborn perseverance? And/or purpose and drive?

Okay okay, putting the pedentic nit-picking deadpan dry hard logic fun aside...
It is a good point being made there. And no, I don't know how I'd rephrase it to avoid such ambiguities.

On a positive note, to me, it seems like the first time our government has taken more than a 10-day outlook on the future of our nation.


Yep... though...

We'd be fools to hope that'll last.

Or that those presenting such appearances really are the government...

What If We Made Advertising Illegal?

Even as an advertiser (especially as an advertiser), I am convinced that outlawing advertising is the best thing we can do for our world now. More than gun control. More than tackling climate change. More than lowering the price of eggs.
