Loading ...Lets Talk American Politics
Noooooo……FULLY YOU $%^&t !…..You’ll ruin a perfectly good Tent !
Easy now. I don’t mean Left vs Right . I don’t care if you are Republican or Democrat or neither…this is important times to pay attention to politics in the USA.
I mean this Trump vs China trade war .
Les face it ….this thing is creating the charts right now.
Trump Tweets and Chinese Phone Calls are what is making or Losing you money on trades.
This is the number One market Moving event right now.
Love Him or hate him Le Grande Orange is all that matters right now.
For how long?
Maybe until the 2020 November Elections .
………………………………
Then there is another Market making Event Going on.
It is a distant second fiddle at the moment.
Staring the Fed and all Central Banks.
As we know they tried for a couple of years to convince us that the economy is good and they can normalize rates and suspend QE !
Well they didn’t get close to “normal” and now they are in full blown retreat…in a race to negative interest rates.
This second fiddle is actually what started this Gold Move …but now its not important…Trump Trumps it !!
……………………………………………
OK….so what do you all think
1…Trump is an out of control idiot and is screwing his own chances of re election.
2….Trump is a stable genius and is calculating when and how to settle this thing BEFORE the election while winning major concessions or at least claiming to do so.
3….The Chinese want Trump out so they will play hard ball and make it impossible for him to make a good deal for
US.
4…The Chinese are in tight with Trump and a deal will be made in which both say they win. And Trump wins re election by a landslide.
5….None of the above
Please choose a number 1 to 5 and enter it in your comments
Then elaborate your thinking on this topic.
We will of course keep it civil.
If not here then where ?
🙂
An important extension of this issue….who would be better for Gold and for the General Markets ?
Trump or one of the 20 Democrats ?
I guess if you’re like me and don’t give a crap about who wins because there is no decent choice , you have to hope Democrat…That will likely be gold friendly as they go nucking futz spending and taxing.
Some of #1, but he is really still super popular with his base and solid republican voters. Can he win in 2020? All depends on who (and how many) turns out to vote.
What I haven’t figured out yet is why anyone supports this guy. I sort of got it in 2016, Hillary was just as unpopular (for reasons true and false) and she just couldn’t get her voters to turn out enough.
But after 2 1/2 years of trump, he is clearly not someone who studies and doesn’t seem to understand anything complex (or simple for that matter). But the incessant lies upon lies and his own manufactured reality is destroying America. His administration will be looked back as one of the most corrupt, one that was super anti-environmental, inherently cruel and evil and basically incompetent.
I would vote for a BLT over trump in 2020. I hope enough voters turn out to wipe trump and his republican lackeys in the senate/house out of power completely (not exactly profiles in courage are today’s republicans). The democrats will have their own issues, but at least they will be sane and actually trust facts and science.
I hope to say good riddance in 2020.
Well the first response was rather political
🙂
Thanks Kemrich…are you aware of the recent tent poll where democrats were outnumbered 10 to 1 ?
Duck and Cover
PS….I am hoping for the market influencing potential of this event to be discussed.
remember civil
ha, ha: 10 to 1? I voted republican in 2012 and then democratic in 2016 because it was clear what trump was.
So this isn’t political. It is moral. trump is just a really bad person who I don’t want as the leader of this country.
Hey Fully, talk about opening Pandora’s Box. lol.
… oh I forget that he attacks our long term allies and loves dictators and non-democratic regimes. Why? They probably flatter him more. Who in the world would believe Putin, Kim and others over our own intelligence and law enforcement agencies (as imperfect as they may be).
Don’t get me started on the support he has from the evangelical Christian community. The leaders of that movement have mesmerized by the mirage of political power and have abdicated the responsibility to teach the ‘good news” to the world. They now just say the “ends justify the means”. What happened to “what would Jesus do”? Well Jesus would have gone down to the border and ministered to those in need (and probably get arrested, too). We now live in a deeply cynical and mean-spirited environment and I lay the blame for the worst of it at the feet of trump and his enablers. There is still good in all Americans (even trump supporters), but we have been taken over by a cult leader.
What is the old saying “Men go insane quickly in herds, but only come to their senses slowly , one at a time”. Maybe trump’s lies will catch up with him — but it hasn’t yet.
Well OK but what about the markets ?
#2
His issue is the elite are the banks. They have gotten rich over China
They want trump out. That’s why the fed won’t drop rates so fast
Finally someone has addressed the China move. Ip theft. Currency devaluation
Advantageous trade status The fortress built in the s China sea and on and on
Goes on and on
For our entire growth we averaged gdp if 3.2. Since China
Growth started out gdp has been 2 ish
Don’t believe me drive around tell me how many empty factories you see
It’s time to stop the Nonsense
And no we’re not a nation on its way down
Let me preface this by saying that I did not vote for Donald Trump, nor did I vote for Hillary Clinton. If it were up to me, Ron Paul would be our president.
I am still waiting for Mr. Trump to “Drain the Swamp” and prosecute large numbers of high profile DC swamp creatures, past and present, via military tribunals.
However, as each days passes, it is becoming quite clear that this was probably just a scheme to get votes, similar to Barack Obama’s promise to deliver “Change We Can Believe In”.
As George Carlin stated in his very pointed American Dream rant… ‘The reason they call it the American Dream is that you have to be asleep to believe it’
Here here Homer, I wrote in RP anyways. My gut says Trump for all his idiotic blunders is actually trying to get the USA a good deal. We gave away a lot of money and bad deals over the decades. Hey, this is what it takes if you want to be the worlds reserve currency. It can’t be easily undone and I have a feeling by the time it is unwound nobody will want the USD anyways. Just my opinion. I’m just a dude watching it all unfold now. Hopefully without a major war(s).
Hey, I’ll stick my neck out.
First, the U.S. is an empire in decline. Once the decline starts, it never stops.
Trump is an enigma – few people grasp who he is, how he thinks, what motivates him. His biggest plus is every progressive socialist liberal hates his guts. That being the case, it speaks well of the man since all the liberals know (since Kennedy) is socialism and anti-Americanism.
Trump has exposed the swamp, heretofore unrecognized by the general public much less the press. Even the commie bastions at CNN and MSNBC etc have acknowledged the existence of the swamp.
Trump has also exposed the breadth and depth of traitors in the FBI. Evil afoot there, and not much Trump can do other than expose it. He himself cannot bring charges against anyone. That responsibility lies with other arms of government.
Trump has rolled back a significant number of idiotic regulations that have strangled business creation and growth. He got the Keystone Pipeline put in place. He has encouraged more energy exploration and development. Even in decline, a large economy like the U.S. requires reliable and inexpensive energy. The liberals left their brains at home (as if they ever had one) on energy. So-called “renewable” energy is slowly being revealed as yet another environmental Nazi hoax, which Trump knows and understands.
Trump also refused to kow-tow to the miserable EU excuse for government, along with the wimps running Canada. I can say that because I am a Canadian citizen – you beg to differ, bring it. We have pansies running the country.
Trump upsets a lot of people, most of whom have a screwed up commitment to return to the slide into socialism and government edict running our lives. Somehow they think government knows better than individuals what is best for their lives.
Trump is also a believer in individual freedoms as detailed in the constitution. Not one progressive liberal democrat running for president has one iota of respect for our freedoms nor our constitution. All they have to offer is more government, more intrusion into our lives, crushing the little freedom we have left.
When people say he attacks our allies, tell me what those allies have done to help/support the U.S.? They still have not lived up to their contribution to NATO. Why should he respect or listen to clowns who have turned their countries into socialist sell-outs. Those same “allies” seldom if ever have much positive to say about the U.S. unless a pansy like Obama is in the WH; only then it’s because he licks their boots.
It’s easy to diss Trump. But difficult to even suggest we would be better off under another Clinton, or any warm body the progressives are pushing. Free college? Free healthcare for all? Forgive student loans? The Green Deal (scam of the century)? Are you kidding me? Just as before, the progressive liberals will underestimate the supporters of Trump. He’ll win going away.
Not that it matters. All Trump’s election did was buy us a little more time at the punchbowl. Superman could not prevent the meltdown that has already started. A progressive socialist liberal gets in there and the meltdown will go on steroids.
You can talk all you want to about empty factories. Everywhere I go – we travel and live in an RV – we see signs of help wanted, hiring. Even a basic clerk at a local supermarket now gets $13+ an hour. Job openings exceed job applicants by a wide margin. Too bad our socialist colleges can barely turn out literate people – it used to be a college degree meant you had some sense about you. Not anymore. It’s just as likely that the progressive socialist education agenda put in place by our lovely democrat party means you’ll be hiring someone who thinks America stinks, and that the entire country is race-based. That’s what’s taught and that’s what these morons believe.
Trump has done an excellent job in promoting less government involvement in education – it has no business in that arena. Our schools have gotten so bad that home schooling is growing leaps and bounds. Why turn your kid over to an indoctrination center?
The only people preaching and practicing racism are the progressive liberals. Trump is color blind, always has been. He looks across the country and believes it is populated mainly by patriotic people who love America and what is (once upon a time) stood for. The liberals look across the country and see people who need to be dealt with.
End of comment.
#3, why do I think this?
China was the choice of the deep state. They were supposed to win, overtake America then replace America. They have yet to comes to terms with the fact that the deep state and the NWO which they were going to lead is finished (but not yet dismantled). We should all be grateful for that! Their oppressive form of government was to become de-facto world wide – government social credit score and all. This was the plan, started 40ish years ago. Freedom of speech, gone. Freedom of the press, gone. Freedom to assemble, gone. Freedom of thought, gone. It seems some haven’t gotten the message but Trump isn’t going to stand for that garbage. Trump and the military are picking it apart. Also Trump is getting us ready for the new economy, which requires balanced trade – thus the WAR ON CHINA. A recent Gutfeld piece on Bernie and China: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Th8p9Sx7RFA
I too wanted Ron Paul to win but unfortunately he holds himself like your crazy uncle from Texas. He isn’t suave nor charismatic but his voting record and policy was consistent over the decades. That’s amazing. Trump has also been saying the same thing for over 30 years. We knew who Trump was and his personality. I believe Trump is fighting for a better America for his kids and grandkids. My thinking is not based on his words but on his policies. Meanwhile Obama gave more away than a loose….slot machine. Bowed down to world leaders. Billions to Iran and others (for nothing?). Under-minded the police (Ferguson). Spied on people illegally. Went on an apology tour (we did have things to apologize for but those are just words. Then he turned around and increased wars which meant his words and actions did not align. It will come out that Obama was one of the, or the most, corrupt presidents ever.) So which leading Dem candidate won’t be the same as Obama? They all seem the same to me, greasy politicians except Tulsi Gabbart and the psychologist/occultist Marianne somebody and those two won’t win the nomination.
Anyway I agree with silverboom. The reset is coming and nobody can stop it. I think Trump is DESPERATELY trying to do all he can to push it back till after the election. Meanwhile (and for the first time?) the MSM is warning that there’s a recession ahead – declaring it AND already blaming it on Trump. Hmmmmm, typical politics. The Left WANTS the country to suffer for one reason – so they can win the presidency. Hurt millions of families to win the presidency, selfish! Previously the MSM kept people in the dark when a recession was incoming but now they blast it from the rooftops?? We know recessions are cyclical and nobody can stop them but these guys are HOPING for a recession or worse. Who hopes for that?
If Trump wasn’t a (media) genius how did he beat Hillary? Or brush off the false accusations? Or outsmart the traps the media and Dems have laid for him? So what’s left for the left?? To name call. The MEDIA left no longer debates policy but name calls. It was hilarious when that government official called a conservative radio host racist because of his policy beliefs…and it turned out that the radio host was black. This week in the MSM they were saying Trump has killed more people than Stalin and Hitler and Mao. That’s not logic nor accurate, that’s desperation. Hillary said (on a hot mic) two weeks before the 2016 election, “If Trump wins, we’re all going to jail.” I think she’s right. What’s Trump’s delay? Cleaning out compromised national security orgs and appointing new judges takes time. It is almost time to drop the hammer. For more info, Seb Gorka is pretty solid: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUphHL4R-WOdJ_OoQioYP6w/videos
Who would be better for Gold and the general markets?
Hmmm…Gold=Dems (but I wouldn’t want to live in the world they want to create) markets=Trump. However long term, post reset, after Gold kills the dollar, Trump is better for both due to stability/rule of law.
Taking down the tent?
What many people fail to realize is the spiritual component of what’s going on – including with China and the deep state. (If not here, then where? GOTCHA FULLY! LOL 🙂 ) Food for thought, prophetic insight which likens Trump to a crazy and somewhat out of control old Israeli king, King Jehu. more info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08YooW_ZsVk&t and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBABLX5ch_I&t (note I do not AGREE with everything on that YT channel but there is a spiritual reality which interacts with our world, I have first hand experience of it.) Even the founders of socialism and communism believe in Lucifer/Satan. Don’t believe me?? …in their own words -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3exFTTQHFY&t <—disclaimer I don't believe everything this channel publishes. I absorb and think things over and I spit out A LOT of bones but there is some interesting and CRAZY facts/meat on this channel to chew on but it's not for everybody. To not be aware of the spiritual realm is to miss out on a huge piece of information explaining what drives the people in power. Their belief systems impacts markets, currency, laws and more. Ignore it to your own detriment. Ephesians 6:12.
A follow-on comment regarding Fully’s Five:
None of the above. The options you present fall short of the mark in describing what’s going on with Trump.
I have no doubt that there is some game plan in Trump’s mind; figuring out what it is is a crazy game to play. He’ll let us know when he gets what he wants, or does not.
He maintained throughout his campaign that the U.S. had been ripped off by China for a very long time. Thank you, you globalism creeps. So he is finally tackling the China advantage head on. The end game? Perhaps to level the playing field a bit. Perhaps to cause the Chinese to pucker up for a change.
As I see it, Trump is a lone wolf in the swamp we call Washington, D.C. He is the only one willing to confront the crooks, liars and sociopaths that have been robbing us blind for many decades. Pence, I believe, is supportive, but not wholeheartedly. In what Trump is doing, he is his own man owing to no one, no organization, no world council, no Bilderbergs or any of that stuff. Is he always right? Nope – who is. Does he tick people off? Yup, bigly. And it’s about time people got ticked off.
If more people were ticked off maybe we could invade D.C. and ride these traitors out of town on a rail. With plenty of tar and feathers, and perhaps a public hanging or two. Whatever you may think of Trump, he benefits nothing from what he is doing. His aim is to benefit the guy in the street, struggling to put food on the table and raise his family. He has no intention of benefiting the idiots across the street who are the worst of the worst traitors to the ideals of the constitution, our liberty and our freedom.
All these people who have a rage towards Trump suffer from a terminal case of emotionalism. They ought to calm down, think about how out of control government is, and realize that Trump tries as best he can to put the knife in the gators in the swamp. The answers to our challenges is not more government – it’s what got us in this mess in the first place. And all that the democrats/progressives/socialist liberals have to offer is exactly that: more government, less freedom for all. Every stinking one of them.
Good enough for you, Fully?
Yes thats good enough…IMHO he’s just an low class idiot with no plan…..but he’s your idiot
🙂
Here is a link for George Carlin’s American Dream rant.
Please be advised that it contains some strong language.
https://youtu.be/acLW1vFO-2Q
🙂 I love that sketch Homer
By the way ….NO One has even come close to answering the questions I have asked
but the thread doesn’t lack for passion
I find this article that came out a day ago by former NY Fed president Dudley quite remarkable and a really good reason the Fed should lose it’s charter and return monetary policy to the US Treasury…
https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-08-27/the-fed-shouldn-t-enable-donald-trump
Ron Paul on this…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahxGNT9yb5I
I think Trump is trying to ruin the Fed. He knows a crash is coming and is prepping to blame the FED, then audit the FED and then END THE FED – this was Ron Paul’s gamplan. Let’s see if Trump goes through with it.
Let me tap dance around your question that way any politician would.
In the old days, the Democrats wanted to tax the middle class and give it to the poor. The Republicans wanted to tax the middle class and give it to the rich.
Today, the Democrats want to borrow money and give it to the poor, and the Republicans want to borrow money and give it to the rich.
Thus, both parties are racking up huge debt which debases the currency making either party good for gold. We just need to be patient.
While we wait, you can put me down for #1.
Short and sweet and to the point Norwegian
🙂
Perhaps Tump is thinking bigger and better than anyone gives him credit for: (From Marin Katusa newsletter)
The Brilliant Hidden Agenda Behind Trump’s Greenland Buyout
By Marin Katusa
“Build the wall!” he chanted. And they laughed.
Until he actually started building the wall.
“Cut corporate taxes!” he campaigned. And they laughed.
Until the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
“Buy Greenland!” he tweeted. And they laughed.
Until . . .
The Original Green New Deal
Greenland doesn’t seem to have a lot going for it. There’s almost zero infrastructure, no land for crops, and it runs a consistent deficit. Most of its money comes from fish.
The country’s national anthem roughly translates to “Our country is really old.” The backup national anthem translates to “Our country is really long.”
Financially, Greenland is a mess. Denmark subsidizes Greenland to the tune of about half a billion dollars a year. That’s two-thirds of the annual budget. Without that help, Greenland would face complete collapse within years.
So at face value, Greenland looks like a horrible proposition.
But this isn’t even the U.S.’s first, or second, or even third attempt to pick up the Arctic country.
One of those attempts was right after World War II. The U.S. offered Denmark $100 million (~$1.4 billion today) in gold to buy Greenland.
A memo from that time, written by the U.S. Director of the Office of European Affairs, stated that “the control of Greenland is indispensable to the safety of the United States.”
That’s never been more true than it is now, eighty years later.
Red China Moves into Greenland
As they’ve done in Latin America, Australia, and Africa, China is buying their way into Greenland.
They’re using the same model there that they have used everywhere else: provide the country with airports, running water, roads… everything citizens are used to doing without.
Kuupik Kleist, former prime minister of Greenland, spoke of China’s involvement in the country: “We need it, you see.”
But of course, China has its own ideas about the Greenland play. It has begun to call itself a “near-Arctic” country… despite being more than 1,500 miles from the Arctic Circle.
So they’re taking actions to make themselves an Arctic country: I call it the creeping takeover.
Three years ago, a company owned by the Chinese government tried to buy a naval base in Greenland. Denmark had to keep them from doing so.
Last year, China tried to finance three airports to gain access to the region, with a possible military foothold in the works. The U.S. stepped in and shot the plan down.
Now, China is desperately trying to take control of several valuable resources unique to Greenland.
In 2008, a U.S. Geological Survey was conducted in Baffin Bay, which separates Greenland from Canada. The survey estimated that the Bay holds more than seven billion barrels of oil and fifty-two trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
Greenland also holds incredible proven and unproven reserves of resources such as gold, diamonds, lead, and iron ore.
Not to mention, Greenland holds 10 percent of a resource that is becoming a lot more valuable around the globe.
But those are nothing compared to a priceless resource hidden deep under Greenland’s ice.
The country that controls the supply of this resource has the same control that oil powers had in the mid-twentieth century. Every other country in the world must do their bidding.
A Time Bomb of Rare Earth Metals
Rare earth metals are a resource crucial to the production of electric vehicles (EVs), wind turbines, military technology, cell phones…the list goes on.
There are 17 rare earth elements and they have fancy names like Yttrium, Erbium, Cerium, and Lanthanum.
These metals are crucial not just for national security, but for the technology we use every day.
Total global reserves for rare earth metals are estimated at 120 million tons (excluding Greenland). Greenland adds 38.5 million tons to that total—a full quarter of the global supply. But they’re not mining it yet.
The country that predominantly controls rare earth metal production is China.
It has the world’s biggest rare earth ore deposits. And it absolutely dominates the market: more than 70% of rare earth metals are produced in China.
In June 2019, the U.S. Commerce Department issued a warning. If China halted their rare earth exports — which they did in 2010 – it would significantly shock both the U.S. and foreign supply chains.
The U.S. government is desperately looking to diversify outside of China.
Greenland is a logical choice. It gets a near-perfect score on the AK-47 indicator. It’s politically stable, has a long-standing legal system, and low corruption.
As its rare earths thaw out, literally, Greenland presents a natural solution for the United States’ national security interests.
Most of the rare earth metals are currently under a layer of ice one to two miles thick. But that ice is melting fast. Much faster than scientists had originally predicted.
According to Denmark’s Polar Portal…
“In July alone, [Greenland] lost 160 billion tonnes of ice through surface
melting. That’s roughly the equivalent of 64 million Olympic-sized swimming pools. Just in July.”
Greenland itself is already getting ready for when the ice melts. Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, Prime Minister Aleqa Hammond declared, “Mining will come to Greenland.”
The political party, wanting to eventually separate from Denmark, has seen resource extraction as its chance to gain economic independence.
But several roadblocks stand in its way.
Greenland has always been a poor, dependent country. So it has never had the money to develop its natural resources.
The country is huge – more than three times the size of Texas. But its entire, rapidly aging population wouldn’t even fill a football stadium. So there’s no one to extract the resources.
Finally, the country is almost completely defenseless. It relies on far-off Denmark for its national security and is trying to gain complete independence from the country.
The Polar Silk Road
All of this makes Greenland the perfect target for China.
If China’s President Xi Jinping plays his cards right, he could get a near-total monopoly on rare earth metals, valuable plays in oil & gas and the upper hand in global affairs with a new base in the Arctic.
Xiao Yang, director of the Arctic Research Center, said:
“A small and weak Greenlandic nation . . . will be the key node for the successful implementation of the Polar Silk Road.”
To see just how easy it will be for China to take over, consider a project Greenland recently approved for London Mining.
Don’t let the name fool you: It’s almost entirely backed by Chinese companies.
The single project is a $2.35 billion iron ore mine… or about the entire GDP of Greenland.
It will require up to 3,000 workers that represents about 6 percent of the nation’s entire population.
In other words, China won’t even have to make an offer or start a war. It’ll be a takeover from within. We have seen this story unfold before in places like Central America and Africa.
Denmark is already wary of the threat. But a foreign affairs spokesman in the Danish government said:
“We don’t want a communist dictatorship in our own backyard.”
That leaves Greenland with only one place to turn for help: the United States. And the United States needs Greenland to secure its own naval defense in the Arctic Circle.
It’s probably premature to add new stars to the American flag just yet. Any movement will be at a glacial pace. It’s taken seventy years for the U.S. consulate to finally reopen in Greenland.
Greenland is increasingly fighting for complete independence, with 2021 being given as a potential date to break free from Denmark.
So with time… we might not be laughing anymore.
I’m currently doing advanced research on several rare-earth opportunities for subscribers and me.
…buying Greenland is a horrible idea. why? Because, ORANGE MAN BAD. LOL
Okay, I’ll jump in. 5!
Being an old hippy influence by love, peace, a one world nation and by Bucky Fully, I’d say I’m a Globalist. I believe in free markets world wide.
If China is kicking an industries ass here in the US, live with it, compete with it, adapt, learn, move on.
I was a custom furniture builder for 20 years making a great living, often times years out in orders.
Then the Asian imported stuff started pouring in and there was no market for what I had been doing, my business dried up.
I adapted, changed my whole business, went off commercial diving for ten years in a business that couldn’t live without divers.
Spent a thousand hours a year under water, I loved it!
When I retired and went back to woodworking, I changed my whole approach to custom woodworking of anything.
My point is you can never go back! It IS a one world nation today and anyone fighting it is doomed.
As they say, “When you fight reality, you only loose 100% of the time!!!
Competitiveness, cooperation, innovation, experimentation is what I believe works.
If you want to compete, build trust and alliances with your competitors.
If you want to beat your competitors, put out a superior product.
I’ve been successful in business for 50 years with one philosophy…..Quality sells!
I’d never, ever trust someone with anything that had been given 200 million dollars and went bankrupt 4 times!
But then again many do…..Go figure.
Wow…Sir Steins…NOT chopped liver are you ?
🙂
From Fine carpentry to Commercial diving and back….great stuff
Absolutely agree wit you.
Of course Chinese and Indians and Mexicans and Russians and Brazilians and and and want a decent job and decent life.
We in the west have been the haves and they mostly have bee the have nots ?
A global economy is inevitable.
Rambus Chartology sells subscriptions to folks from all over the world .
Some industries dry up and new ones flourish
Blockbuster was hot for a while. Travel agencies are mostly gone….newsapapers…dying
Many many more industries dying and new ones popping up
Not the Chinese that killed them…the internet did.
I agree with you on all counts.
Protectionism cannot work !
Thanks Fully, you probably knew I meant Bucky “Fuller”
Your additional comments are just what I mean.
Being a student of Bucky’s, got me think in much bigger terms about the world, what we could expect and where we might be heading.
He was VERY optimistic and a wonderful influence. He knew if we could cooperate we could all be living at a very high standard of living, everyone.
But over the years I’ve come to see the world much more from a biological and genetic point of view.
One night at dinner friends were voicing they’re concern for humanity and the planet. My response was that we forget that humans are NOT exempt from going extinct or at least being reduced to sustainable levels if we are indeed out pacing the use of our resources and making the planet less inhabitable. This is all very natural in the biological world.
More species have gone extinct than are surviving. It all will just be what it will be.
In the end, it’s nature, or the nature of the universe that will have it’s way over everyone and everything!
Maybe the most beautiful thing that Bucky taught us is that nature is SELF BALANCING.
Action, reaction and resultant…..The universe is pluralities and at minimum three.
As humans, we can do anything we want in the world, the only thing we have to face are the consequences. 🙂
Steins, you are more adaptable than most including most people I know, including politicians!! 🙂
I think most people on both sides of the isle are for world wide markets. However when a US sock manufacturer says I have to move production to China due to TAXES, that’s the problem. Free Trade implies fair trade, our current globalist trade system isn’t free nor fair. Taxes were used to drain and move US production to China for corporate benefit but to the injury of ordinary citizens. This is why Ron Paul said we live in a Corporate Fascist State.
