I don't know if this is the case or if its just coincidence but it sure looks this way:
The left is acting like they fear President Trump may at any point get back into power and they are trying to obliterate him so he cannot. Why else try him to punish in the Senate? You cannot remove someone who isn't president from the office, but if you know he really won and fear that will come out and return him to office somehow, you need to stop it, right?

Speaking of unity, anyone else get this bulletin today, gaslighting on steroids.
The Acting Secretary of Homeland Security has issued a National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin due to a heightened threat environment across the United States, which DHS believes will persist in the weeks following the successful Presidential Inauguration. Information suggests that some ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition, as well as other perceived grievances fueled by false narratives, could continue to mobilize to incite or commit violence.

Yes, they're on top now, why would they want to reset things? Doesn't seem very bright.
Posted by: zmdavid at January 27, 2021 01:48 PM (xqRaG) ++++ Because the world the envision isn't possible right now. They want a small world with anything *they* want, full of robotic automation, where they hold all of the assets and the rubes rent from them. The rubes will also serve them, and be subsidized by them. The problem is that there are *way* too many rubes. They want a fairly small servile class, all tame and cooperative and who do what they're told. A big rube class that resents their loss of employment, money, ownership, belonging and community is in the way. The "Great Reset" is about power, but it's also about remaking the world to suit themselves. That world has probably 90% fewer people. Once they get the ball rolling, they will kill a lot of people.

55 I read that the purpose to the $15 an hour minimum wage is to drive job loss in red states. Blue states are already dealing with wages at that level, so should be minimum impact. Not true in red states.
Posted by: Notsothoreau - look forward at January 27, 2021 01:49 PM (JKNZq) It is to boost Union wages as Union contracts are often tied to the minimum wage. So if the min wage is $7.50 but some areas have to pay higher because of the market then the min wage workers are making that more but the union contract is still based off $7.50, hence why the Unions are pushing so hard for the raise which on the surface doesn't impact many of their members, until you dig into the contract.

I don't even think they're scared of the Boomers and whatnot. I think they're scared of the people my age and younger who communicate in memes that largely ridicule the ruling class, especially the Democrats. They know that humor and culture are very important, and they are worried that they are losing their grip on the younger generations, who have nothing but nihilist disdain for them, and the major institutions. The entire system only works if we all accept their world view. If a large number of young people are ridiculing it, that's a problem for them.

This is why I'd love to see the next big technology hub be in a red area.
Lemme put some learnin' on ya. If you have a tech hub, if it's not actual industrial engineering you are going to have to hire SW Engineers of various stripes. They go to college. And get arts degrees not science degrees. They are overwhelmingly communist pawns no matter where you are. And likely your own supply of communist coders will exhaust quickly so you'll end up importing them from the last Tech Hub, in this case California. And they will bring their communoyuppiehipster lifestyle preferences with them which means you will get even more communoyuppiehipster businesses to serve them. Pretty soon your state Votes BIDEN. It will happen to you to if you move a tech hub into your area. The problem is the colleges. Any location employing large numbers of college educated workers whom DON'T have a big S after that B are going to lean hard left. Posted by: Saintly Akin at January 27, 2021 02:04 PM (b82nJ) 163

> I read that the purpose to the $15 an hour minimum wage is to drive job loss in red states. Blue states are already dealing with wages at that level, so should be minimum impact. Not true in red states.
Eh, maybe. The primary purpose of driving up the minimum wage is it benefits Unions. Most Union contracts are linked to minimum wage plus a percent as their floor. Every time min wage goes up, the Union floor wage goes up. Unions then get to argue, "Why pay $15 for an unskilled moron when you can pay $19 for a good Union man who is highly skilled?" They also get the obvious added bonus of looking like a hero. Posted by: bonhomme at January 27, 2021 02:05 PM (UW2ZS) 174

This is all political theater. The Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday issued a national terrorism advisory to last several weeks. "There is currently a heightened threat environment across the United States that is likely to persist over the coming weeks," the DHS bulletin said before admitting they "do not have any information to indicate a specific, credible plot." The DHS took a veiled shot at Trump supporters and conservative media outlets even though the only violence since Biden's inauguration has been by far-left Antifa and BLM in Seattle, Tacoma and Portland. "We remain concerned that individuals frustrated with the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition, as well as other perceived grievances and ideological causes fueled by false narratives could continue to mobilize a broad range of ideologically-motivated actors to incite or commit violence." The Biden Administration is using the military and the might of US law enforcement agencies to intimidate and silence anyone who believes the Democrats stole the 2020 election with vote fraud.

Posted by: Van Johnson at January 27, 2021 02:15 PM (zZxh0) I'm thinking Friday or early next week based on the general consensus on WSB that Friday is when the margin calls are due on the first round of shorts. By all logic, that should cause a massive short squeeze where we get a repeat of the VW situation from like a decade ago. But something tells me that it won't play out the same way.

>>> 201 So I don't have a TV connected here. My TV is YouTube. If I don't buy from the advertisers on YT, does my watching it still monetize YT in some way?
Posted by: creeper at January 27, 2021 02:08 PM (XxJt1) Yes the monetization happens regardless of your actions. And really that's the strange part of all this. It is well known that youtube ads even google adsense is broken, i.e. there is no satisfying link between google's ads and benefits to the advertising company. Advertising in general is kind of broken. I've settled into the belief that google/alphabet isn't being paid for advertising anymore. The flow of money is more like that of a vassal to the merchant's feudal lords. These aren't ad buys anymore. That wealth is taxes being paid by merchants to their tech lords and masters. The merchants are granted leases by their oligarch tech masters to exist online which can be stripped away at any time. We've entered into a feudal system and what's happening now with the "great reset" is just formalizing that. Posted by: banana Dream at January 27, 2021 02:22 PM (BvX7g) 312

From Urban Dictionary:
cut sling load Military hand and arm signal given to a helicopter pilot when their rope-suspended cargo is liable to cause the aircraft to go out of control. It is issued by holding the left arm out horizontally hand in a fist, knuckles up and then waving the right arm at the elbow so that the knuckles pass under the left elbow in a cutting motion. It is a term that signifies dropping a topic, problem or person in a hasty and irrevocably conclusive manner.

Derivatives usage has been expanding dramatically in recent year. Not so much because of institutions but because of retail investors piling in, through things like Robinhood. The Japanese housewife phenomena in the forex markets has expanded to equity markets in the US.
Posted by: Red Turban Someguy - The Republic is Already Dead at January 27, 2021 02:31 PM (Zm+LZ) Yeah, for sure. Everyone I know my age is playing around in the market. I've noticed a huge uptick during lockdown.

It may not be the "hedge funds" that hold sway over markets, but the derivative markets are also shadowy, and the TooBigToFail category can reach into leverage at Morgan and Goldman, so we underwrite the richest in their financial escapades.
Liquidity is grand, but underwriting the market (via fake money, military threat, preferential tax codes, laws written by lobbyists, etc) makes us all pay for that magic money tree. I think the wealth of America itself is being extracted ... and the globalists needed to control the "Great Reset" (build back better) for their own benefit (total control).

blacklisting continued.
Read or watch some of the blacklisted authors, and you will quickly realize that they were "blacklisted" because they sucked. Lots was produced and is available. No one stopped them from producing, but major American companies chose not to hire them. If they produced wonderful stuff, they would have been hits. But they didn't they produced crap comparable to the SJW action hero crap we see today that everyone hates. This was not organized by the gov. (yes, there were hearings, but that was about foreign infiltration and people working for foreign gov. trying to take over the country.) the blacklisting was done by studio heads that did not want to fall into that muck. Blacklisting in the 50s was like the mean girls in HS not inviting you to their party. Today's cancel culture is the school administration hiring thugs to kill you. No comparison.

You know I ultimately wonder what YouTube et al are getting at with banning Trump. Trump was never going to lead an armed revolution. If he were it would have been done earlier not now. This outcome the cheat-to-win was always the most likely with the followup courts-say-go-hang the most likely succeeding outcome. Trump's not stupid even with all that confidence he had to suspect this outcome was reasonably possible, and therefore hedged against it with force *if that was his intentions* while he still had a lot of it at his disposal.
So what is the fear now? What's the game now? These moves don't evince a winning design either to bring us to heel or force us to confrontation before we are ready. They are giving us time and motivation to consolidate our political circles, purge their compromised presence from our lives and prepare for political persecution. It doesn't make sense.

A self-regulating market doesn't work when you have monopolies that conspire in constraint of trade and/or have captured the state system. If that happens - and it has - then those firms need to be destroyed. I wildly prefer a corporate death sentence (antitrust action) to the alternatives, but "hands-off" works well when you have a fair, honest and open system - but is murderous if you don't.

I laugh about the Hedge Funds that got hit by their short trading. Reminds me of "Atlas Shrugged" where D'Aconia makes it look like his company is doing great so all the politically connected get lots and lots of his stock...only for the mining operation in Mexico to turn out to be a fraud and his copper mines in South America get flooded to a degree they can't be used at all, not even in the near future. So those same rich, powerful, and connected lose their shirts. Too bad this can't work on Congress with their legal insider trading.

He's shown true actions of sacrifice to a concept objective greater good in his lifetime. Is he an orthodox Catholic? Hmmmmm. That bears a better discussion. A strictly Orthodox Catholic would not believe in the virtue of secular government as such, and certainly not suggest that world governance with an ostensibly secular body was a good idea.
