Neither do I, at least in stimulus checks. I want lower income taxes.
I'm glad Trump is giving something back to the people though. I just don't want to be at the goverment's beck and call of when I get money that I earned
Well, all the bigwigs are still being paid, it's just the suckers at the lower rungs who got shafted. So your taxes are going straight into Bernie's pocket.
Stimulus checks are just mass wealth transfer. Almost everyone who gets one immediately spends it, and almost all of that money is then immediately captured by the top 1%.
Small sample size. Bitcoin's entire history is 13 years -- not nearly long enough to say confidently that it is going to continue increasing.
It's a fad in my opinion. It hasn't been adopted as currency like it was originally meant to and is only used for speculative investment. In another 13 years I think it is just as likely to be at 0 as it is to double.
We end up dealing with inflation causing our living expenses to skyrocket out of control….meanwhile the oligarch J’ws who own all of the mega corporations that sell every product we buy, they all end up with a massive infusion of cash from the American buyers to pay off debts that didn’t grow at all while they collected record profits. So we get fucked to a point that we can’t survive without further government help, and the ultra wealthy who were never in danger of not being able to cover daily living expenses, end up with a lot more money and a lot less debt.
Agreed. At this point, I see no way to save this rotted out, corrupt, completely controlled system by evil. Best to take advantage any way we can, separate ourselves from the system, build our own parallel communities where we can, save what little we can save, prepare for the collapse, and let this thing collapse. Might even help it along a bit where we can, with stupid stuff like this. Infinite money printing is nearing the inevitable outcome, and the more people suffer, the more that will wake up, the more people move to the right, the more people realize the actual solutions, and the quicker we can fix everything.
We drove by an acquaintance's new build home the other day.
They claimed to have already invested a million dollars in capital into it. It looked like a rez house despite the fact that the price tag didn't include the land that was already owned.
They'd done the vast majority of the work themselves with tradesmen in the family. It was an unimaginative single-level rectangle with no basement. It had no siding on it or brick. There was no grass or landscaping or trees. No paved or lockstone driveway, just gravel.
The property was within the city limits, but also rural & isolated and a good 45 mins from the downtown core.
It was built for multi-generational living. The family members were already hating each other after a few months because the size/layout/design/soundproofing were causing conflicts over noise & no privacy.
If soundproofing is an issue, let the guy know about those foam spikes that streamers use to super-quiet their work space. They're not that expensive, at least compared to rebuilding an entire house, and while they're not "aesthetic" to put up everywhere, sounds like there's no aesthetic to preserve anyways.
there was also some Pulte Homes development in Arizona i believe, where some home inspector, CyFy Home Inspections, has been posting his findings on youtube from the latinx construction, they are all $700k+ homes with so much of that same kind of garbage construction.
The notion that latinx construction workers are hard workers is such a BS lie. They get things done fast because they do it wrong.
The article I saw about 50 year mortgages made them sound even more fucking stupid. It was something like a 400k house would decrease from 2300 to 2000 a month. 300 bucks. If they really cared about cutting mortgage costs all the middlemen would get kicked out. There's just so many people that have to get paid in the mortgage process a lot of times for very little.
But hey at least you die before you can even pay off 'your' house so the bank gets to keep it and will have collected more in interest than the house itself is even worth. I guess that's what you call The Art of the Deal.
Well a 400k house is probably going to be worth 2.5-3 million if not more in 50 years. There is a point where inflation would be bad for the banks but we aren't doing that here.
Well a 400k house is probably going to be worth 2.5-3 million if not more in 50 years.
And 2.5-3 million will have significantly less purchase power than it does today. I'm not sure if that's worth it considering you're gonna pay at least double the amount of your loan in interest alone over 50 years. So over 50 years you'll have made a 'profit' of 1-2 million if you sell your house and then you'll be without a roof over your head at age 70. Sounds like a pretty shitty investment.
Don't forget the part where for the "privilege" of a $300/mo savings you're going to pay basically twice as much in interest to the bank (to the tune of several hundred thousand dollars) over the course of the mortgage.
Wonder what the cutoff for "high income people!" is to get screwed over once more from infinite gibs.
Trump & MAGA also hates the likes of Thomas Massie & Rand Paul even acknowledging the economic basketcase that is the structural deficits, the national debt and the pork that is the Big Beautiful Bill & the government shutdown.
Then they go & pull craven shit like this, handing out 2k cheques to useless eaters that hate them.
I gave up trying to talk about economics to people. Like when I discuss fiat currency and fractional reserve banking people’s eyes glaze over. Or my delivery sucks
Americans: “the inflation is out of control, please do something about it.”
Trump: “here’s 2,000 Trump bucks, that should help.”
Why is our country so full of retards?
This J’ish Occupied Government has 3 main goals:
force Americans to accept a digital ID.
force Americans to accept a digital currency.
force Americans to accept the merger of AI and governance.
Watch for any policy and/or events that could be used to justify any of those things…..stimulus checks, aka a UBI is one of those policies. We don’t want to be reliant on this J’w subverted system for our survival, that’s a bad move. Aside from that, If they dump trillions more dollars of debt on our shoulders doing stupid shit like a UBI, that is toying with hyperinflation and then a banking collapse. That sort of policy could be used to justify a need for digital currency, then they say “well, we want to help recoup the money you lost in the banking collapse, but you’ll need a digital ID before we can dump a bunch of digi-coins into your bank account.
The rebates -- $38 billion worth -- are the product of President Bush's tax legislation
To celebrate the mailing of the first checks, Vice President Dick Cheney and Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill went to a government check-writing facility in Kansas City, Missouri. Friday. Bush joined them via satellite
Clinton was president until January 20, 2001. You're technically correct but wrong about who signed the bill:
The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 was passed and signed on June 7, 2001. The Act cut tax rates, and it also included a rebate of fiscal year 2000 taxes of up to $300 for single taxpayers, $500 for single taxpayers with dependents, and $600 for married couples.
401ks are high because you keep printing money which eventually ends up in the stock market. Eventually we're going to find out that money doesn't do work, people do, and all we'll have left is a rabble of 80 iq imported browns
I don't want money, I want my country in order.
Neither do I, at least in stimulus checks. I want lower income taxes.
I'm glad Trump is giving something back to the people though. I just don't want to be at the goverment's beck and call of when I get money that I earned
I want NO income taxes. If the federal government can’t pay for its shit through tariffs (as they used to), then they don’t need it.
The government shutdown has made zero impact on my day to day life. What am I paying taxes for?
Well, all the bigwigs are still being paid, it's just the suckers at the lower rungs who got shafted. So your taxes are going straight into Bernie's pocket.
Israel’s security.
Agreed. I would just be happy with intermediary steps to that though
That’s not a good plan. Gov isn’t going to spend its way out of problems it is creating, intentionally at that.
"Best I can do it 2000 dollars, take it or leave it"
That's a crappy plan B
Stimulus checks are just mass wealth transfer. Almost everyone who gets one immediately spends it, and almost all of that money is then immediately captured by the top 1%.
Lots of people including me will just use this for rent and groceries
I’d go for silver personally
Small sample size. Bitcoin's entire history is 13 years -- not nearly long enough to say confidently that it is going to continue increasing.
It's a fad in my opinion. It hasn't been adopted as currency like it was originally meant to and is only used for speculative investment. In another 13 years I think it is just as likely to be at 0 as it is to double.
The stimulus checks are coming from the tariffs.
So it is a wealth transfer: from China to average Americans
We end up dealing with inflation causing our living expenses to skyrocket out of control….meanwhile the oligarch J’ws who own all of the mega corporations that sell every product we buy, they all end up with a massive infusion of cash from the American buyers to pay off debts that didn’t grow at all while they collected record profits.

Accelerate.
Agreed. At this point, I see no way to save this rotted out, corrupt, completely controlled system by evil. Best to take advantage any way we can, separate ourselves from the system, build our own parallel communities where we can, save what little we can save, prepare for the collapse, and let this thing collapse.

Weimar problems require Weimar solutions.

Well golly, that means someone only needs to make 96k a year to not be "housepoor" instead of 110k.What a great deal.
But hey at least you die before you can even pay off 'your' house so the bank gets to keep it and will have collected more in interest than the house itself is even worth. I guess that's what you call The Art of the Deal.

You ever try to explain algebra to a hamster?!
No, but I guess it’s the same result
Probably the hamster will learn something
Fuck, he just saved Funko Pop, didn't he.

Here comes the democrat side of Trump. sigh
In 2001 Clinton had a budget surplus and sent $300 checks to every American taxpayer.
I wanted to share some links figured it would be a simple search and Google AI tells me THIS DID NOT HAPPEN WTF.
Not only that but I can't even find any discussion of it. Am I from the other timeline?
Edit: Found an article about it, it did fucking happen, it was a tax rebate under Clinton in 2001 cause he stole too much of our money and then Bush cut taxes in 2008 which saved the economy or whatever according to this article. https://medium.com/@creigh.gordon/what-really-happened-that-time-bill-clinton-ran-a-budget-surplus-e07029701eb3
Think about who was president in 2001.
https://archive.ph/4kHSJ
Bonus:
Some things never change.
Yes that is the third word that I wrote above you there.
I brought it up hoping some boomers would add context because at the time I had just turned 18 and don't remember a lot.
But then I thought I was going crazy because dead internet.
I guess taxes were high when I was a kid in the 90s, and that's bad? It all got sent to israel? They used it to ship in le niggur?
Clinton was president until January 20, 2001. You're technically correct but wrong about who signed the bill:
Stimulus check? You mean a refund. One implies printing money from nothing to give out.
This will turn into a mess.
Enough of Tariff "income" is due to Jagpreet putting the wrong code in, and it taking 3-6 months to get refunded after a dispute.
It means that he's worried about the shutdown and the midterms.
401ks are high because you keep printing money which eventually ends up in the stock market. Eventually we're going to find out that money doesn't do work, people do, and all we'll have left is a rabble of 80 iq imported browns
My inner Ron Paul is going crazy
Mint the10 trillion dollar coin!
Worst sequel ever.
Yay
I'll take my cut before the bones are picked dry.
This is where I am. Gimme the check, make the death of this diseased carcass happen sooner. I'll pay down debt with it.
In an inflationary economy like this the interest rates are lower than inflation. You should be taking on as many loans as you can.
Bitcoin is the best option though.
Can't wait til we go full Zimbabwe and we're all trillionaires.
I think this is just a set up so if the SCOTUS eliminates them...
Honestly this is better than inflating the currency by giving it to the banks first.
