If full time Walmart employees need government assistance programs to afford food and pay their rent, is it not Walmart who is leaning on government assistance?

  • I will bite. Not unlike an increase in minimum wage, it increases competition at the margin among landlords, which increases amenities, and encourages families and economic activity. It needs to also be accompanied by enforcement of landlord citations as well as empty housing penalties though in order to have its full effect of reversing the trend of out of state management of private residential property and encourages self-ownership over time and better landlords. The empty housing penalties are because the landlords primary use of the properties is capital and so an empty unit is often more profitable in value than the cost of it sitting empty. Laws need to tip the scale to increase supply of housing and force their hands to release it back to people who can take on personal responsibility of the unit, whether that be a next door landlord or ideally a rent to own tenant or owner living there.




  • I didn’t use that word, but if you look purely at results, there’s no difference between Stockholm syndrome and a willing participant until the deprogramming occurs. Especially if the propaganda had free access to undeveloped minds. You see in America how well it worked on boomers and older when it came to anti socialism and anti communism. The red scare still exists in their “firing fear on all cylinders” brains enough to take priority when talking about the most anti-socialist liberals in existence. The point is it’s effective and generates the desired behavior, even if it’s objectively evil.

    Not really necessarily about votes, but rather that the hitler youth program netted him 8 million members of military aged young men. To out it into perspective this was 82% of the youth population between 10 and 18 in 1939 if you include the girl equivalent, which was called league of German girls.

    Basically propaganda worked much better outside of the age of Information and these barely closeted Nazis like Elon Musk want to return to a similar rate of success with the information age, which is why AI sculpting seems to be always at the top of his mind.

    Edit: This is mostly why I mentioned Bibi, because he’s not really super popular either and elections are few and far between with constant war continuing the justification. The military indoctrination of young IOF soldiers is probably equally effective in controlling the populations views and keeping them at a peak bloodthirsty state against arabs or really anyone who gets in their way while they commit pogram after pogram, now a full fledged genocide that’s livesteamed and the population barely blinks at the depravity. This is the popular mandate for Nazism.

    This looks like the basis for the claim that Trump was alone with Epstein and a 20 year old victim on his plane. I don’t think this was actually a search yielding redacted information.

    Also it’s worth mentioning that even in this text the victims were properly redacted. More likely this is just where the FBI failed to redact Trump. With how many pages were redacted you can bet your bottom dollar that Trump is almost as prevalent in there as Epstein himself. This isn’t a smoking gun though by the look of it so don’t get your hopes up.
