Hi 698,

One of the pathetic posts that I have ever read.

Daniel Kahneman Nobel winning economist, David Hume, Jonathan Haidt would beg to differ.

Read Propaganda by Bernays and Alchemy by Rory Suderland.

Nassim Taleb.  Also: An economist is a mixture of 1) a businessman without common sense, 2) a physicist without brain, and 3) a speculator without balls

Bernays states the obvious, so in that sense he's right. Suderland simply uses the ancient idea of alchemy to argue that perception is reality. AKA Marketing 101.

Keynes disproves that.

 

In fact they become MAGA Republicans.

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/quiz-find-the-best-country-for-you Has an interesting ten question quiz to connect someone with similar country attributes. I filled it out choosing MAGA/Brent responses and it correctly came up with the US.

Orwellian.  Light is dark!  Dark is light!  One group stood up to firing if they espoused right-wing beliefs in the work place for the last decade.  The other group got internal employee groups and "STUNNING AND BRAVE" cheerleading. 

Also one side had assassination attempts, while they other had support of the corporate world, the media, and the universities.

Should definitely take it seriously and not listen to people fighting the system when they have charges from the establishment:

King was jailed several times. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director J. Edgar Hoover considered King a radical and made him an object of the FBI's COINTELPRO from 1963 forward. FBI agents investigated him for possible communist ties, spied on his personal life, and secretly recorded him. In 1964, the FBI mailed King a threatening anonymous letter, which he interpreted as an attempt to make him commit suicide.^[3]

I was wondering…well…just a VERY little bit…how you all were handling life given the results. I can see now. I guess the vast majority of Americans really do disagree with and don’t want all your liberal nonsense. Maybe you should look in the mirror and figure out if the problem could actually be you. Either way…it matters not and there isn’t crap you can do about it…at least for a couple years. Que tengas una buena vida!

Because of all of the leases approved by the Trump administration. I’m not sure if you know this,(and clearly you don’t) but it takes some time from approval to production.

it sure does. Often more than one Administration. Specially considering leasing the land doesn't yet grant you the right to drill, need another permit for that. Which makes the following pretty interesting:

Federal Acres leased in first 19 months of term:

• Obama 7.25 million
• Trump 4.4 million

Add to that the fact that Biden approved 50% more oil and gas drilling permits in his first three years in office compared to Trump's first three years in office. Certainly seems you have Democrats to thank for these record production numbers......

And yet mathematicians saved thousands if not millions of lives.

There are probably people on this forum who should thank those gentlemen for their own existence.

It makes about as much sense as Kamala’s explanation of the passage of time.

Yea, that is an Orwellian take. Trump has the best policies for business which is why the corporate world supports Harris. Harris has corporations and media on her side which is why Trump has the world’s richest corporation owner and media boss in his administration. Yeah, sounds legit.

Vast? That is some take. Is it basic maths or the meaning of words that the Army doesn’t teach you?
