Three More Reasons for Wealth-Deprived Americans to Take to the Streets

Some telling facts on wealth inequality.
nakedcapitalism.com/2018/04/three-reasons-wealth-deprived-americans-take-streets.html

Syria strike is likely to be a nothing burger, Russia has been moving assets and mercs out it major targets meaning it's very possible that the us and allies have already telegramed strike plans. I'm expecting a repeat of last year.

China has blinked, trade war will fizzle out with potentially a new deal or just return to status quo.

Only thing that's really disruptive are increasing Israeli-Iranian tensions and, of course, the Mueller seizure.

Nope, this is impossible. If China bends over to the US then they immediately enter a recession as state companies cut production while not ripping off American IPs anymore. Such a thing at the very least causes a global recession, if not an outright depression as the fastest growing economy of the past two decades has a stroke. The trade war will likely happen as a result, as Beijing would rather go down in flames because then they can blame America for their problems the entire way down.

Ah, yes, because you want to trust your medicine on people who brought you Agent Orange!


God speed!

From what I've been reading, this is going to be a massive strike, possibly targeting Assad himself.

-Trump and Mattis canceled their weekend trip, indicating the strikes or their ramifications will continue throughout the week

-Reuters reporting Russian airbase may be targeted

-Russia wasn't informed about a carrier group entering Syrian waters

-John Bolton is in office

We're in for some dark days ahead.

I think the central point to be made here is, well,

John Bolton

If what you are saying is accurate, we are moving from a proxy war to a hot one.

also, let's not forget the

John bolton is my favorite man, truly an agent of pure chaos, the guy is fucking biblical

John Bolton is going to drop plague fleas on Damascus

The Russia carrier group and targets haven't been confirmed, also directly threatening Assad's power would be crossing Russia's red line, so who knows.
In any case, the strikes aren't likely to occur tonight if OPCW does end up investigating.

White House Homeland Security Adviser Tom Bossert was pushed out of his position by the newly installed National Security Adviser John Bolton, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN on Tuesday.

Trump has replaced Obama as the king of drones. I think Trump has increased drone strikes by as much as around fucking 400%

It'll be sooner I think

This is a message to the rest of the world, not the US. Xi wants China to appear as the new, stable pole not phased by Trump's cray cray.

I've been on the edge of my seat waiting for something to happen for almost two days now. I think it happened two or three days after last time. I don't want it to happen but FUCK if it's gonna happen get it over with

Mein gott

Just FYI the double-trailer ban is sort of a good thing, most truck drivers in Mexico are nonunion scabs who don't know how to drive such a massive vehicle. However, the ban is also a major boost to the US-owned railways who compete against them. Notably, California does not allow double trailers on their highways and this is one of the affects of internal California transportation policy affecting the entire North American continent. Since nobody in Washington wants to fight it, this is more or less going to stand.

That's really how I view it, this sort of thing was inevitable because California is so adamant about their own double trailer ban. That's where the standard was set, decades ago and now Mexico as a whole is emulating it (as California is America's largest single market by volume, and responsible for half of all goods transported between Mexico and the US).

Now conservatives are claiming that Obama left Syria in a mess because he wasn't hard enough on chemical weapons, even though the reason why Obama fucked Syria was because of the use of chemical weapons. Are these people fucking retarded?

On a scale of literally nothing to WW3, what’s the most likely outcome of Trump bombing Syria in a few hours?

I love how amerifats do this. Just goes to show that they are a decaying empire that is almost entirely reliant on rents rather than actual innovation.

yes and Obama was a cuck for letting them step all over him. His shit tier compromise (letting Congress vote on Syria action, if you can remember) satisfied nobody yet pissed off everybody. A good way to describe his administration as a whole.

Hard IP laws create new innovation, even if it's locked behind lawyers. It also does an amazing job of ensuring wealth stays in the hand of a few owners, and that scientific progress becomes inherently tied into government regulation (or lack thereof) of speculation within individual industries. Compare the rampant venture capitalism in a completely unregulated industry (webservices) vs a highly regulated one (nuclear energy).

That is called being a non left wing US citizen.

I'd trade some meme trains in for not bowing down at the globalist altar of "free trade" any day of the week.

Imagine believing this

Are we sure China is bowing down?

Bullshit. IP ensures that the same person or group can play little king on their little hill, halting free modification and improvement, while the abolishment of private claims to knowledge ensures a faster and wider adaption and improvements popping up from everywhere. One word: Linux. Microsoft is actually stealing and closing source code of a lot of open source projects and then filing IP claims on it. Such innovation.

I thought that the US intervened in Syria because of the alleged use of chemical weapons as well as to satisfy Wahhabist and Western interests (ie. Oil, le ebil dictator). Is that not true? Am I missing something?

when is this gonna stop? He was called an anti-semite for attending an event held by a fucking jewish group, and they still keep going. What even is the fucking point of it?

Both of you are being stupid. China has bad copies of bullet trains that ripped off Siemens/Alstom patents, while America has big stronk huge freight trains whose success was built on moving Chinese imports from Los Angeles across the country. In the third corner sits Mexico who wants a cut of both, they want to export more stuff to America (meaning more freight trains) while also building a functional national transit system (like papa espana does).

It also demonstrates one simple point here: Mexico can only benefit from America and China pissing in each others' mouths.

yeah, it's literally just "being against israel makes you an anti-semite". This is fucking pathetic.

Jewish victim complex in full force

Jewish victimhood is such a perfect mirror to white victimhood its hilarious

It's less of a problem outside media and software. Try ripping off patents for firearms, power equipment or mechanical tooling, most owners will happily figure out a licensing agreement because they want more money.


They're making closed source ports of existing software. Closed source ports they can charge for, and people will subsequently not use because free alternatives (notably ones offered by Google on their much larger Android platform) do. It's things like this that demonstrate MS as a company is going downhill, not the US as a whole. There is far more to IP law than just software, and it's those parts that have the most weight when it comes to crying about how Chinese companies are ripping them off and embarrassing them.

Trump himself knows this, especially with the growing suspicion that China might have "illegally" modified the nuclear reactors we sold them to make bomb fuel or assist North Korea in any way. If these rumors are confirmed as true, expect a massive break in US-CN relations because the basic thing that makes capitalism work (capitalists trust in each other) won't be there.

I'm not even sure that these people are just "useful idiots". Where's Zig Forums when jew millionaires hurt by Corbyn's message astrosurf for real?

Zig Forums would be standing alongside their jewish allies against Corbyn the Commie lmfao, Zig Forums is such a life of near fucking misses

You are so full of shit, even by your own standards. You compared software to nuclear to begin with. Nuclear tech was mostly developed to its current levels by the end of the cold war, with both sides spying on the other and heavily state funding. IP had nothing to do with it.

Zig Forums's too busy claiming that Israel gassed a Syrian town (muh false flag), attacked the airbase and is trying to drag America and Trump (apparently against his wishes), into war. Schizo-tier

Zig Forums will defend this

Attached: trumpnet.jpg (1024x682, 129.49K)

IP had a lot to do with it, and the industry is hugely protected by their respective governments for obvious reasons. Compare it to web software that isn't, and now even Amazon is crying foul about Alibaba. Though my larger point is that IP law in any case only serves to redistribute wealth upwards, China's flagrant disregard of it is why they were able to grow so much so fast. And with America being bitchy about it now, things are going to change.

WHAT KIND OF IP DID THE USSR HAVE, YOU MORON?

this. Any Zig Forumsyp would give up antisemitism if it opposed a leftist.
If you gave them a choice between a Jewish conservative and a socdem mayor/president/whatever they would always pick the former.

Who wants to move to Greenland if the US is retarded enough to actually make an official strike against Russia? We’ll treat you kindly.

I don't even have a suitable reaction image

Xi specifically stated he will further open up China for international cooperation, and he probably specifies the SEZs of China. Nowhere did he mention only the USA will get a chance etc.

It's more wiser to let trump undermine global confidence in america, while throwing afew victory bones to him once in awhile, think about it: Xi has not even said anything specific about policies he will do to "open up" china, yet trump is already slamming the victory drums along with his supporters

That's very sweet of you but I'm afraid all of us are doomed
