Money is maybe the only thing that doesn’t need to be gender.

Tl;dr boomers retiring need maximum return but are doing it off an ever shrinking youth that need to buy things vs growing elderly slow to or simply not buying new things.

Death of the retirement ponzi scheme by thousands of cuts.

"They are dragging people away to blacksites and we may not have elections in a year from now." <- Average Dem

"People need healthcare! The rest is theater!" <- Average Senator

Nah they're -considerably- worse than they've ever been and numerous senior Republicans retired rather than go along with what was coming - even more resigned in protest of Trump or were fired for not kissing the ring throughout his first term.

I don't think people have ever hated the Democratic party's values, they've just hated the people who rise to the top of the Democratic pile.

In this the Republicans were pretty far ahead of us with getting Trump and his goons to replace the much-maligned Neocons. Jeb Bush is/was their Schumer.

Like Civ 5 was plenty good, let’s remake it and add a target style competitor and other variants to boot and then reboot it AGAIN but put no effort into it

Trying to reinvent the wheel while getting lapped by the Paradox devs which make much better games in concrete eras.

aaaaaaaaahhhhhh

Strictly speaking the Great Deflation was a good period in history, but today we're wayyy too reliant on debt for it to be anything but really bad.

At least I think that's what it's saying.

The Dems had no hand to actually change anything, and people can't expect a miracle. The only strategy ahead was an end to the Filibuster, which could lead to much worse legislation passing to enable Trump.

On the other hand, shutdown is US Fiscal ruin, not some genius ploy to stop Trump forever.

I want nobody employed by the feds. Pay none of them. Burn it all down. No government is preferable to that which drags people to blacksites.

More reports coming out now about Senate Dems getting ready to bend their knees for another #SchumerSurrender

For 4 years the media had literally nothing to talk about and were in a rock and a hard place situation where they needed to spin a catastrophic narrative to get clicks - Trump was and is incredible for making them money like this. They had to harp on economics since nothing else was happening.
