Um I think that’s the reason they pushed the button.

Thanks… That was extremely needed context. I would have gone around thinking that dude was an asshole if I saw him again.

I like the Epstein class because it’s not just billionaires that are the problem, it’s all the people who break or circumvent the law to enrich themselves or gain power.

The situation is more fucked than western media has let on. There isn’t really footage out of that area, nor are they allowing satelite, so few know what’s going on. But reports have come in of a ton of damage. Even from what’s been confirmed, a significant amount of oil infrastructure is offline and won’t be online for months to years. We’re about to see some long tail effects.

The Trump administration is burning cash to keep the paper price of oil low. But the price of a delivered barrel is is like almost $40 higher.

This is not meants as a doomerish post, just a long winded saying of don’t expect gas to go down anytime soon, even if the news says that the futures oil price dropped, it might in fact even rise some more.

I knew things were fucked when Aliexpress all the sudden started selling privacy slide stickers for cell phone front facing cameras.

This is amazing… Now I wish I had a 3D printer. Maybe I can find a friend to make the case parts for me.

That’s because they didnt get the 2/3 in the Senate they needed to remove him. But they need that 2/3 to 25th him… So yeah.

Plus if they 25th he can just write a letter saying he is competent and resume being president whenever he wants.

Honestly kind of more people than I expected. Who wants to listen to JD?

What if the war is global?

Found the details: $$$

Yup, we have an insane amount of laws and no one can actually read through and remember the entire legal code.

The average American unwittingly commits 3 felonies a day.

Jesus Christ just go for impeachment. If you can 25th, you can impeach. What a waste of time.

From their job or the same place they get money to pay a traditional mortgage?

Let’s say the borrowed amount is $250,000, so you owe $500,000. That’s a 1,400 monthly payment. So 7 people get paid each month, or 84 a year. By the end of the period you have paid out all 2,500 lenders.

(I am using $100 and $200 repayment and $250k to make the math easier and more round. Oddly it is close to current interest rates)

Fascinating. Is there a term I can search to learn more?

Does it? McDonalds is franchised, that might just be one of the things not specified in the franchise agreement.

Longest or shortest flight ever depending on the trip…

Smart. They would probably think your a prophet if you could do things like that. I think the hardest part is convincing them into at least a semi industrialist type mindset.

Interesting! Did everyone have their mortgage paid off or do lenders accept that kind of insurance? Who manages the funds?

So the idea is its a cross between charity and gambling, who gets paid when is the gambling. It’s a feature.

Also, I don’t think your math is taking into account the $200. You borrow $100 and pay back $200, the interest is baked into the repayment amount. It’s a gamble, the people paid in year 1 get hella interest. The people paid back in year 26 basically break even on inflation and people paid back in year 30 lose money.

But I am fascinated to know what procedural hurdles one would face trying to set something like this up.

Well one of the other 2,500 people might, so it’s there to give the legal protections they need to recoup their investment. But I agree, a majority of people wouldn’t see it as an investment. I would have no problem giving dozens of acquaintances $100 if I knew for sure it would lead to them getting a house.
