“Suicide” yeah…. Sure…… Nothing to see here plebs, keep on turning the wheels of capitalism to make us richer while you suffocate in poverty.

No amber whataboutism or volcel police?
There are others i would rather see go first but i wouldn't be upset with that outcome
It just strikes me as ridiculous they are full blown trying to make this kid a martyr. But the maga crowd arent the brightest bulbs in the pack. Wcgw? 🤷🏻
Price of gold just hit $3140 why does that matter? Because gold is the true measure lf inflation. The inflation statistics used by walstreet and the FED come from the world bank and IMF. These numbers are based on consumer price index which is an inadequate measure of inflation because it does not account for the devaluation of a currency due to the increase in circulating currency supply and leveraged debt. Also Cpi Has been manipulated several times in the last few decades to keep inflation numbers skewed.
The reality here is that capitalist empires in decline always lie about the true measure of inflation to prevent civil unrest and the fomenting of a revolution by the working class.
But anyway: for the first 173 years of the us dollar as a standardized currency the price of gold only fluctuated 95% from $18 to $35 but in the 54 years since nixon withdrew from the bretton woods agreement ending the gold standard(the convertibility of the us dollar into gold at any bank) the price of gold has increased 8900% from $35 to $3140 this is directly proportional to the increase in the national debt in the same amount of time. From $400 billion to $36 trillion or 9000%
Even when fdr first passed the fair labor standards act setting minimum wage at 25¢/ hr that was more than the highest minimum wage currently for corporate fast food workers in California of $20/hr. As 25 cents an hour in 1938 produced 14.9 ounces of gold which would be $22/hr today or $45,160 (From 1938 to 1968 federal minimum wage was increased 7 times. On average from 1938 till today federal minimum has been increased 22 times on average once every 4 years with most adjustments happening within a year of the previous one. But today the federal minimum wage has not been adjusted in 17 years. The longest period it has gone unadjusted in 87 years.)
For about 4 decades a minimum wage worker could support a family of four with enough left over to save for their retirement (if they were not part of the approximately 50% of people with a pension) their children’s higher education and a modest family vacation once a year. During this point in history the median house price was $7200 but a home could be bought in most states for $4k-5k or even less for a fixer upper (my geandfather bought a house they were going to burn down in 1955 for $2700 about an hour outside Boston in the metropolitan providence area of new England and today it is worth $600,000) in 1950 minimum wage was raised to 75¢/hr which is 45 ounces of gold a year or $141,000 / $68/hr today. in 1956 it was again raised to $1/hr or 60 ounces of gold a year or $188,000/ $90/hr and in 1968 it was raised a final time before the end of the gold standard to $1.60 an hour this was 95 ounces of gold a year and today would be $300,000 or $147/hr it would take both adults working 2 jobs at 80 hours a week with overtime at a base pay of $30/hr to reach the same quality of life/ buying power
The reality is wall street took over our government, enacting the business plot they had attempted during the FDR administration(if you dont know about this coup led by prescott bush and the other robber barron wall street legacy families look it up) and they used their wealth and influence to eradicate the progress made by labor and civil rights advocates in the 30’s 40’s 50’s and 60’s primarily by intentionally devaluing the us dollar to lower the cost of wages for all the jobs they couldn’t outsource to the third world in the next step of their plan to siphon more wealth from the working class and poor. They had Reagan re legalize stock buybacks again and implement trans national trade agreements that sent a majority of the good manufacturing jobs and the jobs supporting them to the third world to cut lanor costs by 90-95%+
Now rent for a 2 bedroom in most metropolitan cities close to shipping ports is $3000/month (rent for 2 bedroom apartments has always been about an ounce of gold on averagein areas such as hartford ct, plymouth ma, providence ri, burlington VT, many parts of NY outside the city and new jersey. By the end of this administration gold spot price for an ounce will be $4500 last time he was in office saw rhe largest price increase under any administration from $1200 to $2050 or 71% so brace yourselves.
The reason financial institutions don't tell us this as I mentioned above is to prevent civil unrest and revolution. If more people understood this as i do they would immediately stop participating as a wage slave in a system that doesn’t afford a quality of life worth working or living for. Minimum wage has decreased in value by 86-95% meanwhile executive pay has ballooned from 30-60 Times the median worker wage back 54-84 years ago to 1000-5000(3333%-8333%) times that same metric today with the highest paid executive earning an hourly wage of $72,000 or about $800/hr back before 1971.
The reality is that it cost more to purchase and maintain an enslaved person for their average 30 year lifespan during chattel slavery than minimum wage workers anywhere in the United States are currently compensated
Fuck steve huffman aka u/spez
It’s definitely a bunch of LEO’s and corporate executives. The shit they type is so ridiculous. Like luigoids are transphobe far right incels and saying brian Thompson is a hero for providing gender affirming care. Like what planet are these people on?
Im pretty sure that sub has been there since before kfa was representing him. I could be wrong,
The Balfour declaration was literally addressed to “Lord Rothschild” fuck the Rothschilds. Zionists are evil
Why don't you defend all billionaires and tell me how hard they worked. Obviously anti semitism isnt really a big deal to zionists if they are best friends with trump and Elon musk who did a blatant open seig heil salute not once but twice at the inauguration while espousing all the pro Zionist bullshit he can. The ADL even excused such a disgusting gesture so if doing a seig heil salute isnt anti semitic then clearly calling out the rothschild family cant be either right? Which way is it? Sure the rich Zionists who use their money to further their cause are all good guys because of the magic sky daddy they worship.
Get the Zionist boot out of your mouth and go touch some grass and breathe in some Reality for once.
That youtube link is for anyone who wants to hear the truth. Its from code pink. Obviously you don't want the truth you want to make excuses for genocidal war mongers because you deludedly believe their ethno-religious identity shields them from valid criticism.
I made a post on antiwork yesterday about all the additional comments underneath the top comments that just don't exist when you go to expand them. Made a screen grab video of it. In one case it said there were 48 comments but you open them and nothing then you scroll to the end it said 458 comments and there were like maybe 40-50 it’s ridiculous what a corporate bootlicking shithole reddit now obviously is. At least it was better hidden before.
Today on neo liberal paridoxical brain rot. “Anyone who identifies as a zionist is therefor jewish and completely absolved of being held accountable, the idea that ultra wealthy zionists who hold extreme Socio-political and economic power who have publicly spoken of their aims and used their wealth to manipulate and influence others to also serve their interests are very likely working together for a common interest, is just a crazy tinfoil hat conspiracy theory and should be discredited immediately because it makes all people who support a genocidal ethno stare look bad and that reflects poorly on judaism as a whole!”
Too late. You’ve taken a ride on the intellectual equivalent of the lolita express.
This isn’t on the majority of US citizens.
Its obvious our entire socio/political system is corrupted by money. The idea that a group of sociopaths who behave as if their socio economic status grants them impunity to act as though they have divine provenance to manipulate whatever they please for some reason view the us democratic system as too sacred for them to touch is foolishly naive.
There is the election fraud case in rockwell county new york that is moving forward. And besides that i like to call attention to Germany the supreme court of which decided that electronic voting is unconstitutional as it is impossible to determine the difference between fraudulent results and legitimate ones for lay people or anyone who is not a cybersecurity/ IT expert.
This coupled with the corporate media’s narrative manipulation and successful attempts to shift the Overton window as far right as possible in the last 5 decades as well as such insidious techno fascist tactics such as Israel’s consortium of tech contractors called Team Jorge in operation since st least 2015 which engage in hacking, and social media narrative manipulation through sophisticated bot farming it paints a picture that the American electorate is ultimately powerless and being insidiously controlled by a group of disgusting power hungry fascists that are engaged in a class war with us.
Anyone directly responsible for the current state of the USA and gloval affairs involving Israel deserve no mercy whatsoever. Including the overly audible minority of conservatives who have been lead to believe they are the majority and the world is their oyster to shit on and step on freely with complete impunity.
But the majority of us are good people who dont want this. Especially the millennials and gen z. The Democratic party has shifted so far right to appease it’s corporatist(fascist) masters and education standards have been gutted so most people dont even understand how we are being victimized. Maybe my faith in humanity is misplaced considering how igly things are but leftism has always been popular especially among educated people and this is why the right has destroyed education standards. As nixon and reagan advisor roger freeman said “we are on the verge of having a highly educated proletariat, this is dynamite! We have to be more selective of who we allow through higher education. At the time he said this before the Reagan administration some public universities especially federal Land grant universities has free tuition and many others that were not free were $50 per semester. Even yale was $700 per semester for tuition before the 1970’s now you need yo go into massive debt to get a degree that might gaurantee you a wage of $25-30 after you graduate with a debt of 50-100K at least if not 4-10 times that.
They want dumb complacent obedient workers who will not object to being looted so they can live in opulence at our expense while simultaneously funding their forever wars to further their imperialist agenda and profit motives.
