Equality rocks .... Equity is a perversion of Equality.There are a whole lot of changes going to happen this decade and a lot of potential for things to go wrong unless we do build a more equatable society. Sadly, I don't think politicians are ready for what is to come.
Imprimis is a publication of Hillsdale College, a conservative leaning institution. Their pieces are concise, to the point and fact filled.
Theres no doubt runaway capitalism needs to be addressed.There are a whole lot of changes going to happen this decade and a lot of potential for things to go wrong unless we do build a more equatable society. Sadly, I don't think politicians are ready for what is to come.
Here we agree.Theres no doubt runaway capitalism needs to be addressed.
Sadly corruption is happening in every economic system, not just communism. Unless we deal with corruption regardless of political ideology, it will simply continue.However not by pollyanna type socialists who seem to have forgotten that every single attempt at communism was an utter failure because the very same corruption that infects capitalism was allowed to fester much worse due to their authoritarian and censored societies.
It takes a concerted effort to change things around. Despite my reservations (to put it mildly) on China's human rights, China's economic rise is short of a miracle. You see similar improvements in living standards in former soviet countries who joined the EU.The issues most troubling about "equity" is that countries being rich or poor isnt random chance.
Among other things, the birth rate is reduced when you introduce social security and education. You don't need many kids to secure your old age if one can earn enough to look after you or when the state looks after you. I also know some young adults who told me that they do not want to raise children in this world as they see to much hate around them, but I don't know if that is just coincidence or a major reason world wide.For instance we hear that this year some 250 million in Africa face starvation. We need to act now.
The birth rate in America is 1.67.
I looked at the list of nations affected in Africa.
It goes like this:
Somalia 5.89
Congo, Dem. Rep. 5.72
Mali 5.69
Chad 5.55
Angola 5.37
Nigeria 5.25
Burundi 5.24
The Gambia 5.09
Is it any wonder that almost 2 generations after "we are the world" they are still starving?
Where does equity end and stupid start?

You claim it is dishonest, but you have provide no evidence of that. The best I have seen is an intention of sending a cease and desist notice, but 2 years later the post was still there, so no notice was filed, or it was judged in favour of the fact checker.Still using that dishonest site I see.
The problem is available on graphs and charts some ppl can read and understand them others will shield their eyes and assume racism. When you do “we are the world” ~1985 and then they almost triple population in 2023 then “WTF is literal.“Theres no doubt runaway capitalism needs to be addressed.

Ive been in the "we cant let ukraine lose" camp since day one but if you add up all the talking points something aint right.The problem is available on graphs and charts some ppl can read and understand them others will shield their eyes and assume racism. When you do “we are the world” ~1985 and then they almost triple population in 2023 then “WTF is literal.“
it is what it is….. this is part of leftist global warming. India is no better. The White ppl make up majority in USA but are called racist so they will shamefully keep pumping money into their sports of having sex and making larger populations. Donate more money to them.
problem about to be solved China much smarter ppl are going to take advantage of them. Belt Roads - old silk road being setup again. Sri Lanka ports already taken by china so Africa is next. We will send our last dollars to other countries while our own ppl are abortion and starved…. We are stupid dumb Americans. .

Present those "facts" in court.1. Its an absolute fact our President is compromised by bribery from one or both sides.
A joint investigation by two Republican Senate committees released in September 2020 did not find wrongdoing by Joe Biden, nor did a Republican House Oversight Committee investigation by May 2023.We know hunter didnt get paid 3.4 mil from Burisma for his legal skills. Its been detailed he did nothing of consequence besides show up for quarterly meetings in vacation resorts outside the country.
Hunter also accepted $3mil from the wife of moscows mayor who would have to be part of Putins inner circle.
The United States did withhold government aid to pressure Ukraine into removing the corrupt prosecutor, in accordance with the official and bipartisan policy of the federal government of the United States, the European Union, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Ukrainian prosecutors led by Shokin in 2014 opened an investigation of Zlochevsky for illicit enrichment and money laundering. But then Ukrainian prosecutors let the investigations go dormant, angering the U.S. State Department. The American ambassador said in 2015 that mismanagement of the case was an example of Ukraine's failure to hold corrupt officials to account.I dont need to hear audio recordings when Biden bragged about shokins firing and the excuse it was supported by some world bank is stupid. We were the boss with the money, of course they say later they were for it.
Russia can import the grain, they don't have to send troops in to take the land.2. Look at Putins point of view. Ukraine was the bread basket of the USSR.
It always was.Most of Russia is now a frozen wasteland.
Neighbouring countries wouldn't feel the need to join NATO if Russia was not threatening to invade.NATO was in fact encroaching.
They invaded a sovereign nation.We only look at them as the bad guys which is stupid because...
Evidence?3. WE blew up the Nordstream pipeline and blamed THEM.
None, Russia invaded Ukraine and Russia needs to be stopped and China is watching closely if we have the will to do so.What other lies were told about Russia to justify our actions?
You could volunteer as a inspector to track the weapons and ammunition...4. Theres zero accounting on the weapons and funds we are sending Ukraine and they are as corrupt as Russia. How much is getting sold on the black market?
If Ukraine stops fighting, there will be no more Ukraine, if Russia withdraws, Russia will continue to exist.Is their president continuing this war so he can have a mansion like Putins?
If we don't stop Putin with conventional weapons, every country will develop nukes so they can deter potential invaders, or invade neighbours who don't have nukes. Of course the threat of those nukes falling into the hands of terrorist will be far greater. Which is why the West worked hard to persuade Ukraine to hand over the nukes to Russia.5. Putin will never accept a loss. Whatever this means is anyones guess.
No one is taking Russia down and while I agree that people all over the world are not all that different, Putin should be tried as a war criminal and if found guilty, spend the rest of his natural life in prison.In the end Russians are a lot like us. They are not an evil entity we have the right to take down.
