End this shutdown!

[UltraBudgie]

For real, I might be. 

We demand our government cheese!

Americans are demanding fairness imo.

There are very few jobs right now!  The only ones available are part time and you are applying with thousands of other applicants.

My second job was in a factory stamping firemen’s boots off a conveyor belt 43 years ago in NH.  I loved that job, it was full time, paid my rent and bills/food.  I still have the paystubs, the pay was more than I was making at a school as an aide 43 years later.

People who have never lived hard lives will never understand, but if anyone out there claims to be Christian, I implore you to show some humility and compassion for others who weren’t born into better circumstances.

Yes there is abuse in the system! I saw neighbors and illegals get way more help than I ever got!  It seemed unfair, however, I know this, those people won’t have sh$t for SSI when they reach the age to collect, so they are screwing themselves in the long run.

I can’t stand the thought of children being hungry unnecessarily.

There is nothing which Americans, in the most general sense, can actually "do" when their representatives and empowered elites are not really responsive... and bent on a world of their 'partisan' design.

The main narratives are dominated by their antics...
most news is about celebrities, activism, and escapism.

And to openly characterize the state of affairs to that effect, invites being called an "internet troll."

Notice anything? Anyone?

What architecture of the Constitution, or any such founding document proposed a solution to entrenched cabals and a spider-web of self-interests (mostly commercial).... hidden behind a 24-7 distraction machine - amplified by profit?

• Not the "The Market," which, incidentally, is a manufactured construct... 
  
• Not the the Justice system, presently poised to strike dissent... (with an echo machine to validate their abuses?)
  
• Not the potential to "movement" or "organization" which will immediately be 'absorbed" into that rancid echo-sphere.
  
• Not future generations, becoming an ever dimmer prospect as we devalue new life.
  
• Not the game show of media propagated activism characterizations, and narrative-crafting.
  
• The internet is now what you see before you.... it will not 'bleed' solutions.
  

We just need to keep talking to each other.

And stop letting them pretend we don't know better.

And stop letting them pretend we don't know better.

Amen!

Any politician or news propagandist who treats the American people like 12-year-olds who need a childish narrative because they can't handle the truth about the world is calling the American people retards. If they are it's because they're the ones who did the retarding. They deserve a poke in the nose!

So, if Trump could have ended it at any time, but didn’t, I guess that makes it his responsibility for all the damage it caused?

Yes,

If you ignore the evil left and go against convention, Trump could end it now.

The problem is that if he did do that, the evil left would call him fascist/king/tyrant etc.

That is exactly what would happen.  The Republicans are all over that trap by the sound of it.

This is round tripping

NVDIA just got a 5 trillion dollar valuation 
It makes up 16% of the total GDP




 
Extropic.ai is a startup that just launched thermodynamic computing hardware which is radically more energy efficient than GPUs



Just wait until they turn the money printers back on

It's pretty wild how such a devotion to a ideology essentially puts blinders on those that can't accept the reality of situations.
This should be a wake up call to every American.
