>which means they had a significant amount of support within the US government

That totally explains why the USA never attacked Stalin, and in fact provided lots of logistical material from oil, rubber, and ammo, to tanks and airplanes.

I guess today IQ is real and not fake science.

So how did the demographics of the USA changed since the 1970s?

Liar and an accomplice in the death of so many.

I am sure he hasn't profited from any Military contract, or the influence he had from the office he occupied.

I doubt either parties remotely represent any of the Founders ideas.

That sound like really good excuses if multiple countries haven't also been destroyed by wars, had to pay billions in debt or any other things, and managed to reach a much more developed state. Yet the usual suspects can't reach the developed status, even with lots of foreign aid.

You don't even need to go that far. Compare Haiti to Dominican Republic.

But as someone once said "Demographics are Destiny".

>To think that the wisdom of white male slave owners is somewhat unquestionable is so deeply flawed i can’t assume good intentions.

I don't know where you from, but maybe the USA (or any other Western country), is just not for you. Maybe you'd appreciate more the opposite end, something like Haiti, the product of the slaves who killed those evil white males you despise so much.

>"What would George Washington say about electric cars?"

That kind of silly comparison doesn't make any sense, and it's only a maneuver to skip any serious discussion when one is trapped without arguments.

But if you ask how should the Republic operate, what kind of values and vision its public building should represent, then the opinion of the Founders is definitely very relevant.

>Which is, at a minimum, weird. Why would anybody want to do that (by decree, no less) is beyond me.

This is what governments and rulers have done since Mankind started building stuff. You're fixating in the legal tecnicalities like a law or executive order, but it has always been like that. Governments and rulers always set the style of public buildings.

The reason for that, is left as an exercise for the reader.

>Additionally, the idea that anyone alive today could truly understand “what our founders had in mind” is completely irrational.[...]

I cannot believe that someone that writes this has ever read anything the American Founding fathers have written.

They were very prolific writers, and pretty much everything is available online for free.

The author should read those before trying to imply that people who disagree with him are some tasteless and ignorant fools.

The reason why I put economists in quoatation mark it's precisely because most modern economists, that lean to any school, hammer their models to fit their theories, and have pretty much no practical value when you try to apply that in a real scenario with infinite variables. Unlike the hard sciences you mentioned, where every theory and model is subjected to intense scrutiny.

Meanwhile, real economists, with a proven track record: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_School_(economics)

Rational Wiki, another totally unbiased source.

The third F is for "Fátima" (Our Lady of Fátima). And besides the Football, it has nothing to do with Bread and Circus, as every people should cling to their Faith and customs.

Edit: This is present in your own links you didn't bother reading, and you'd see those "Three Fs" wasn't any Regime motto, but post 25 April propaganda, the official one was "Deus, Pátria e Família" (God, Fatherland, Family).

Yes

>I don't have any illusions we can shift mass manufacturing back to the US

Why do people insist that the thing that allowed the USA to become prosperous and go from a poor former colony of the British Empire to a world power wouldn't be feasible?

I'm not talking about concerns of having a healthy environment and a clean planet. I'm talking about population control that Malthusians want to impose so much, always on others, not on them.

My problem with e-readers is that they don't look that good when most of your reading is scanned books, e.g. from archive.org But if one only reads common e-books, they seem way better than a tablet.

This is very interesting.

In some cases there are books that some user recommended and then the book listed is not that one. As an example, lots of people are recommending Spivak's "Calculus", or "Calculus Made Easy", from some other author, but the one listed is "Calculus" from James Stewart. Same happens for the book "Calculus: Early Transcendentals".

Sun Tzu's Art of War is also repeated with two different editions.

Lift weights. It's that simple, you just have to find the discipline to do it. If you find that going to the gym is too solitary, and it is, try to find a team sport, in a club near you and start practicing there. Or get a running coach, specifically to prepare you to run those marathons.

>I mainly want become fit enough to run 5ks / half marathons by the end of this year

Things take time, and you need to set more attainable and smaller goals, otherwise by the end of the year, if you fail to run half a marathon it will be heavily demoralizing. Don't try to rush it.

It's hard to not spend time seated while we are working, but after work, just try to have a more active lifestyle. During the week try to walk for 30 mins to 1h. And during the weekends go hiking since you seem to enjoy it, it will be good for both your physical and mental health.

He wants us dead, but is not willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good. These "idealists" and the rest of Malthusians are just a cancer.

Please continue to ignore that the whole economy is a house of cards, with the recurrent crisis every few years where taxpayers have to bailout the same people. It seems very sustainable.

Companies have to stop working because the supply chain is a mess? Very reasonable.

Your post doesn't sound like mental gymnastics at all.

>I don't understand why this isn't a bigger story. Why isn't the stock market reacting at all? GM, Ford, Toyota are shutting down car plants because they can't get parts, and the financial system shrugs!

Because the stock market doesn't care about any of that.

If reason commanded the financial system, pretty much the entirety of manufactories would never had moved to South Asia. They moved not because it was in the interest of the people or the several countries, but because it was more favourable to the shareholders, and all these "businessmen" who have no loyalty to any country.

I don't know how people can read anything in Discord. It's a chat app, not a good medium to expose any information for people to be able to check when needed.

And moving everything to reddit is not a solution either, it's a hellhole.

>We have the biggest concentration camps in the world for primarily people of color.

Hyperbole much.

You should worry more about how such a small portion of the population can commit so much crime per capita, much more than any other demographic, even accounting for some bias of law enforcement.

>In fact, some cultures were successful colonists.

And those cultures are very proud to have been more technological advanced than the colonized and had the vision to conquer and spread civilization. I'd google for "Black Legend" if I were you.

>I suspect they would suddenly decide to leave some practices in the past. That's very naive, you just have to look around a bit to see that many cultures don't really care if some people in other parts of the world find them outdated.

Ok thanks for clarifying that. Best of luck for your team.

You guys have a download button for Mac OS X (apple logo), and you have a button with the Windows logo. But there isn't a windows version yet as the pop-up tells me. And why isn't there a linux button, if you actually have a linux version?

>As for cars, we don't need those chips, cars were fine before without all those useless electronics. But how will they make sure you need to have your car checked every 12 months and bill you for some vague "electronic component"?

It's either a private firm that will keep all the profits, instead of sharing a part, as if paying a loan or royalties, beyond paying wages for the created jobs, or a bunch of University teachers that have no clue about managing a company.

Barbarians having better (or at least more) sources of proteins seems to be a recurring theme. The Huns and Mongols probably ate more meat than the average farmer from the lands they conquered on their path.

I wonder if this isn't similar to the recent push to substitute meat with these fake meats, which are nothing but highly processed vegetable oils, some shady vegetable proteins and lots of flavouring, all mixed together, and the same to all those "milks", from soy to almonds.
