CableMonster ,

Honestly if you feel bad a lot of it has to do with what you eat and how much activity you get.

CableMonster ,

What is stopping you from feeling better now?

CableMonster ,

Sure, but most of the time its down to diet and activity level.

CableMonster ,

but most of the time

CableMonster ,

Or maybe I know the importance of those things because I didnt have a good household and I am wiser than you.

CableMonster ,

What if its not your brain chemistry and really has to do with your habits? What if brain chemistry is just an excuse? I dont know for you, but there definitely is a correlation between people doing less physical things and mental illness.

CableMonster ,

I totally agree, but it seems to be a direct cause.

CableMonster ,

If you are actively trying to get healthier, why are you on social media? I really am not trying to attack you, but social media is terrible and directly aggravates everything. As someone that has had all my sibling attempt suicide, I am sympathetic and I will try to challenge people.

CableMonster ,

I hear you, but social media is a place with people that want to just yell at you. More communtiy is always good!

CableMonster ,

I get it, I am a fan of a variety of bands from the 90s, I can sing every lyric but then I couldnt name the song, or bring them up if asked. I think its a memory some people have while other dont.

CableMonster ,

Why would it be bad to terminate investigations that are unlawful or contrary to national interests?

CableMonster ,

The free market doesnt align with DEI, its forced by corporations and organizations that are backed up by the government.

CableMonster ,

That could be how you would mean it, but that is not how I interpret it or how they intended it.

CableMonster ,

Thats funny, I was born and raised in Portland and now it sucks due to the type of policies people like you advocate for.

CableMonster ,

Let me get this straight the conservatives in Oregon (which have no power) forced through legistlation... Sure thing bro!

CableMonster ,

You guys literally just claim things without any evidence... You guys have lost to plot

CableMonster ,

You are just making up their intentions based on nothing.

CableMonster ,

How did the Heritage Foundation significantly help Orban?

CableMonster ,

So the issue is that this is not what they are referring to. What they are talking about is when the FBI (and CIA) get involved in politics or directly sway things in direction that is outside of what the FBI is for.

CableMonster ,

They exist for personal gain of organizations inside of the US to use to their sole benefit?

CableMonster ,

Yes because I know what they mean because I have heard them explain the problem. You guys on the other hand dont know what they believe because you dont know anything about them.

CableMonster ,

The FBI shouldnt be investigating the executive branch... The only way it should happen is if the congress calls for it, and that is what they are trying to do.

CableMonster ,

It will be fun to see if the media will try to spin it as him looking good tomorrow.

CableMonster ,

The US has the largest government in the history of the world, it is not remotely pure capitalist.

CableMonster ,

Many of them work for the rich, some of them have integrity, but most are just in it for their own power and benefit.

CableMonster ,

I think we agree, and the only solution that I see as workable is to greatly reduce the power of the government on all levels.

CableMonster ,

The part about reducing government size?

CableMonster ,

Not really, its more control of people. The ability to feel power over a domain.

CableMonster ,

You are shoehorning the word capitalism in there.

CableMonster ,

Billionaires support larger government, undoubtedly. The more government the more their business is protected from up and coming companies. Also they want more tax money to go into the government so they can get more contracts from the government. Take a peak at the national spending on military and realize that it goes directly to billionaire run companies.

CableMonster ,

You guys should put in this much effort and hate to the government. Billionaires play very little role in my life, but the government is in every aspect, but for some reason we are focusing on them.

CableMonster ,

I somewhat agree, but the influence on the government spans much more than billionaires. The powerful do control much of the government, but its also a bunch of assholes that abuse their power.

CableMonster ,

I agree but its more than just the billionaires. For instance where I live there are no billionaires and the government is still the biggest thorn in my side.

CableMonster ,

Idaho. How about you?

CableMonster ,

Almost as if the laws were meant to go after the little guy and not the big corporations.

CableMonster ,

I get your point, but they cant just "print" currency so we could actually not be able to pay when people/countries stop buying the bonds or lose faith in the system.

CableMonster ,

What happens when they run out of people to sell bonds to and they run out of money to tax?

CableMonster ,

How do they make money out of thin air?

CableMonster ,

No they cant, that is illegal. You could say they will change the law so that they can do that, but that is not possible (in america) at this time.

CableMonster ,

I hear what you are saying, but that is changing, america is losing its strangle hold on the world. That became most evident with what we tried to do with Russia after their invasion and the cracks in our system are starting to become more obvious. Unless you think that the US will be the worlds reserve currency forever, there will be a time when it falls.

CableMonster ,

Kind of, but if the US allows itself to just print dollars directly its directly going to turn to toilet paper.

CableMonster ,

I guess there is no proof, but thats not really possible to prove. But what we can see is how much inflation the US has gotten just under the Fed, and then look at examples in the past like germany that used printing of the mark to pay of debts.

CableMonster ,

Thats a seperate issue, that is central banks and over regulation of the housing market. This has devalued your wages and made housing too expensive. And the sad part is BOTH of the parties support these things (if you are an american).

CableMonster ,

The issue is what is defined as capitalism and communism. If by capitalism you mean the most powerful countries with the best weapons and foreign policy that kills people, then I guess capitalism kills lots of people. The caveat is that if a communist governmnet ever got that same amount of power, they would kill even more people. The issue with communism is that you cant disagree with it, whereas you can be as communist as you want in a capitalist country, typically.

CableMonster ,

From the moment he said we need more regulation to make housing cheaper I knew he was just an NPC. Can you convince NPCs of anything?

CableMonster ,

ZING!!! The difference is that I know exactly why all the thing that are listed is mere propaganda, I have heard and seen the same bullshit talking points over and over. If you guys want to just do what your team says, that fine, just dont think you are are actually thinking for yourself.

CableMonster ,

One big thing you are missing is that I think the other side you are talking about is wrong also.

I dont have a side here, I literally do housing, and I fully understand every aspect of why its expensive. I dont care about narratives, I care about actual facts about why housing is not getting built. You guys are just repeating propaganda that falls apart under the most basic scrutiny. The problem is that if you are not able or willing to do that scrutiny then I am not going to help you, you have made your decision.

CableMonster ,

I will give you the long and short of it; you guys are looking at the insignificant things that account for just a small amount of the problem (cue you googling and finding an alarmist article), the big problem is that its too expensive and hard to build. The reason it is too hard to build is 99% due to what the government does. More regulations will just make it worse.
