Originally posted by -SpectraL It all boils down to sore losers who don't want to lose gracefully. Most people, when they lose against someone else, they accept it and move on, but not sore losers. They just can't swallow the fact they lost. Hillary had the exact same chance to win as Trump did. She could have went after the Electoral College, too, but didn't bother. In fact, she ran a horrible campaign, basically sat on the sidelines the entire election, while Trump beat the pavement day after day, drawing in tens of thousands to his rallies. And guess what? The people have spoken. You lost. Hillary lost. Trump won fair and square. So you can blame the Russians and make fun of his hair and his hands, and jump around like crazy loons, but you still lost. You're the losers here, not the winners.

Yeah, he got there by inheriting hundreds of millions of dollars from his pappy, making a couple good good deals in the 70s/80s, then looking the other way on money laundering and pulling an increasingly pathetic series of sad scammy "ventures" to convince idiots he's a legitimate "businessman" while still needing to cook his books. -

a lot of it was just having the capital to buy businesses, then slashing and burning them to buy more businesses to slash and burn -

2019-08-24 at 2:35 PM UTCI think international trade should be banned. There's no reason whatsoever a country can't produce its goods and services locally. Too many middle men! That's what drives prices sky-high! You have rotten pieces of shit shipping out millions of local jobs overseas, selling out there own countries for increased profits. Who died and made them king? Fuck them all. They tried killing off all the local farms. They tried to destroy the country from the inside out. They tried bringing in their globalist world tyranny of mindless crony capitalist ideals. Bought off the government. Bought off the judicial system. Tried to suck the blood right out of the nation. But it's game over now. Game over for them! Right now, they're like a cornered rat on its last legs, jumping around and screeching at the top of its lungs. Won't do it any good, though. Now they've met their match. And the poetic justice is that it's one of their own! hahaha How much more ironic can you get?

I actually agree with the sentiment, but it'd be impossible in practice. Crops and food stocks only grow in certain climates, oil and ore are only found in specific regions etc. -
2019-08-24 at 2:44 PM UTCReally the question is why isn't he even richer? From the amount he started with he could just have invested most of it for a 5-7% return rate, taken a multi-million dollar per year "salary" while reinvesting the rest of the profits and be way better off than he is now.
If he was in another industry it might make sense, he'd have something to show for it - his company might have innovated technologically or employed tons of people...but he's in real estate mostly. He essentially spent billions of dollars to get his name on some buildings and play pretend business while creating a relatively small amount of jobs and enabling a lot of shady stuff. -

Climate can be easily controlled and artificially created. This is 2019. Anything can be produced in-country, no matter what it is. -

Originally posted by aldra it was going to just be a collapse, but all the artificial means to try to temporarily stave it off (see: quantitive easing) have empowered it to the point where it's going to stretch the world economy's asshole like you wouldn't believe
and not to mention cryptos. which is yet another bubble.
remember how it went from 110+ billion to 3 times that ?
my guess is that the whole market cap is made up of ⅓ china money, ⅓ US money, and ⅓ dark money.
those who lost it in stock will attempt to sell their cryptos, and triggering another crypto run. -

In its 2018 billionaires ranking, Forbes estimated Trump's net worth at $3.1 billion (766th in the world, 248th in the U.S.).[1] Bloomberg Billionaires Index listed Trump's net worth as $2.48 billion on May 31, 2018,[29] and Wealth-X listed it as at least $3.8 billion on July 16, 2018.[30]
In its 2019 billionaires ranking, Forbes estimated Trump's net worth at $3.1 billion (715th in the world, 259th in the U.S.) as of 5 March 2019.[1]

how do you think our forefathers lived before industrialization ?
its the ease and excesses of our current lifestyle that need to go.
but only if people are willing to go back to the time of oxes and plows.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
