@DW2 Retail in America has a bleak future. E-commerce is more refined than ever, the outside world is less safe than any point in most of our lifetimes, and people's dollars are going rotten. Add on to this the workforce that increasingly are unwilling to jettison their dignity at the door, or are too retarded to get through that door. I'd hate to be running a big box store right now.
People who view politics from a dissident worldview see why that is: The left own all the levers of power and despite that failed to stop a catastrophe, or even adequately contain the disaster after the fact. This was exacerbated by them chasing legacy Americans (cough, Whypepo, cough) out of the kinds of positions that they long held.
I feel like this is America, and Globohomo's, Chernobyl moment. They have proven that they cannot effectively run a country this size. They've largely already proven this with the stunning decline of cities, but some ignored that with the old "ugh, liberal cities, what can you do?" attitude. People can't ignore this.
@okuu A year ago: "The 87,000 new IRS agents aren't going after working people, they're going after billionaires. Don't be ridiculous." Today: "Of course the 87,000 new IRS agents are going after working people, that's where the money is."
@DW2@IAMAL_PHARIUS I'm of the opinion that every economic stat put out by most governments are bullshit.

☢️ :jhg_s: :jhg_n: :jhg_e: :jhg_e: :jhg_d: :denton_laugh:>On February 16, 2022, a full week before Putin sent combat troops into Ukraine, the Ukrainian Army began the heavy bombardment of the area (in east Ukraine) occupied by mainly ethnic Russians. Officials from the Observer Mission of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) were located in the vicinity at the time and kept a record of the shelling as it took place. What the OSCE discovered was that the bombardment dramatically intensified as the week went on until it reached a peak on February 19, when a total of 2,026 artillery strikes were recorded. Keep in mind, the Ukrainian Army was, in fact, shelling civilian areas along the Line of Contact that were occupied by other Ukrainians.
>We want to emphasize that the officials from the OSCE were operating in their professional capacity gathering first-hand evidence of shelling in the area. What their data shows is that Ukrainian Forces were bombing and killing their own people. This has all been documented and has not been challenged.
>So, the question we must all ask ourselves is this: Is the bombardment and slaughter of one’s own people an ‘act of war’?
@DW2 This becomes much easier to understand when one repeats the phrase "Antifa are shock troops for Globohomo". Normie conservatives still struggle with this.
