You say the grass in your yard is green and Rob will argue it's not if you're not on his political team...

Let's flip the script. YOU pick the information source (mass media) or any university source around the globe, or any public economist.

Then I will find something where they describe the recession that happened under Trump.

Then you can tell me how YOUR source is wrong.
Fair?

Because people complain when they don't even know what they are complaining about. "Things were better in my day", until you run the numbers and they weren't.
Or people like Thx, comparing the price of angus 85/15 ground today with regular 80/20 beef from 2017.
Or claiming he paid $1.78 for gas all during the Trump admin.

Inflation is not just price increases. If it were, NOBODY would be able to afford anything as the price increases would have outstripped wages long ago.

Is minimum wage still $1.35? Good thing, otherwise no one could afford that $6 Starbucks coffee that they line up and wait 20 minutes to get.

Go learn about inflation, then tell us how it destroys our economy.

Are you just messing with us? These responses are beyond retarded. You're asking me to show you info that I already showed you. I'm guessing you're a big boy... go back and check my responses.

The fact you just said "Inflation is not just price increases." The pure definition of "Inflation" is the increase of prices.

Let me help you out a little. This will explain what inflation is.

What is inflation?

In this McKinsey Explainer, we answer the question what is inflation and examine the root causes, key metrics, and the overall impact on our society.

I guess you guys are all correct. You give him proof, he ignores it and starts a new complaint, the later he goes back to the old argument asking for proof. There's not word for now idiotic that is.

The last completely idiotic things he stated was inflation not having anything to do with the rising costs of goods. THE DEFINITION OF INFLATION IS "THE CHANGE IN COST OF GOOD."

Will he admit he's wrong on that? NOPE!!! He'll just pull out another stupid argument to deflect that he was wrong.

By the way Rob. You mentioned Trump claimed bankruptcy on countless businesses for the sole purpose of financial gain. Well, it was 4 times and he took huge financial losses on some of them.

Here is a site, that we all know leans far left, that even states that Trump was mostly forced into bankruptcy on these properties.

I'm sorry man, if you can't see that's a type of electrified vacuum tube, then I think you're just lying to yourself or don't understand what you're talking about. The snake is representative of electrical or electromagnetic energy, in many uses, such as the hieroglyph I posted. This takes years and 1000's upon 1000's of hours to research, like it's not something I can just convince you of without you doing your own research. Feel however you want to feel about it, but I put in my work to understand what I'm talking about. I don't have the health to list 1000's of hours of knowledge over a decade of research from myself.

This isn't an argument, man. I am asking for evidence. So far, the best you've offered is theoretical research with zero practical world application currently, AI being used for data processing and Egyptian hieroglyphs. My question still stands: what kind of mental gymnastics are you doing to connect a supposed drawing of a cathode ray tube in an Egyptian hieroglyph to modern-day AI? There is nothing to feel; I've given you factual references you can check. You can look up the use of AI in CRISPR, and it will all point to AI being used for data processing not AI being a master manipulator and secretly affecting the human genome without any scientist noticing. You can also explore the history of brain-computer interfaces; it will show it was a thing before AI.

Buck and Speed,
You guys are now talking a language that is beyond the point of yawning.

I think you guys might want to start over because it sounds like you guys are talking about two different thoughts. You know, kinda like how we will be talking to Rob about our grass being green. Then he starts arguing that grass is purple like the grass he's smoking.

I literally said man it's too complicated for me to type, and I don't get the feeling you want to know or take it seriously anyways. Just not worth debating about it, I've said that, what more do you want? You want to control what I say and think now too or what? You haven't seen what I've seen or researched what I've researched, and I can't post it all, it would be impossible to convey through texts on a screen. Ok? If you want to understand why I think some of these things, then research for yourself.

Lol, of course there's not going to be news about AI secretly changing your genome. That's why it's a secret lol. I'm not saying humans aren't behind the programming of the AI. I think you're assuming too much of what I mean here, man. You're describing me not quite like I would, so, yeah. And yeah, look up the Dendera light. This an electrical vacuum tube:

Yeah, real ******* boring topic

Just don't start talking about fallopian tubes.

Many, dems blame the war as being the reason for gas prices being so high. What they all forget, which the republicans knew would happen, the gas prices were already higher before the war started. Long story short, a quick research will give you the long story, COVID shutdown caused an extremely low demand for fuel. Many workers were laid off. When restrictions started to lift, there became a huge fuel shortage because they couldn't get the employees because they were being threatened to lose their jobs if they didn't get vaccinated. Well, in the meantime, Biden said a few things that ticked off OPEC, who was already mad about the shutdown. Now you have the war that we are spending so much of our resources on. And to add on top of that, Biden's green deals are making fuel manufacturing more expensive. Look at California. There's a reason gas is higher everywhere in California than the national average. Good news is, If Newsom wins the presidency, he will share all his great plans with all the other states.

The war is undeniably affecting gas prices. Yes, supply and demand dropped due to the lockdown. The delta surge was also a lot less severe due to the the lockdown. Assuming we didn't lockdown, the rest of the globe still locked down, so we still would have experienced a fuel shortage. OPEC did seem to like to Trump better for whatever reason (ie Abraham Accords), but I don't think you can correlate their desire for higher gas prices to Biden. I'd actually trace OPEC's distancing itself from the US to Bush Jr's invasion of Iraq.

The notion that AI, created by humans, would enforce something like carbon credits seems contradictory, as it could limit the energy required for increased processing power. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have been interfacing with the brain independently of AI implementation. While AI is used selectively in certain areas of the internet, such as social media platforms, the idea of widespread control, especially through technologies like brain chips, lacks real-world examples and faces practical challenges. Again, using AI to sift through information to better understand DNA is not the same as AI directly manipulating genetics. Drawing a connection between AI development and ancient civilizations lacks empirical evidence. While ancient civilizations had advanced knowledge, attributing the modern development of AI to a plan spanning thousands of years lacks substantiated proof and is more likely a speculative narrative. I see no connection between Egyptians having a drawing that resembles a cathode ray tube and an actual cathode ray tube or how that would be connected to AI.

And if the Ancenient Egyptians (inter-dimentional alien "gods") were so advanced, why were the using time technology??? I would assume beings capable of interdimensional travel would be using quantum computing or an even higher technology.

Wireless CRISPR, SKYNET, both real. One is active and one is being worked on. It's a lot of science that people aren't aware of.

CRISPR is well known. Recently making the rounds for a sickle cell trial.

If it's not worth debating, then why bring it up? I was discussing war and the possibility of WW3, and you introduced the topic of AI controlling everything on Earth. I simply asked for evidence to support that idea. In your responses, you mentioned theoretical research, AI being used for data processing and Egyptian hieroglyphs. Now, you're accusing me of somehow trying to control your speech and way of thinking? Like, did I miss something here? Do I have brain-controlling powers? There isn't news about AI changing your genome because it can't – as I mentioned, it does data processing, that's it. Humans still make the ultimate decisions. If it were a thing, wouldn't there be a whistleblower by now? How am I the one assuming too much when I'm just asking for evidence? I still don't see the connection between a cathode ray tube and world-controlling AI.

You'd have to go back thru either the "what is" or "winners only" threads to hunt down Buck's sources; they're not sources you can look up with a simple Google search.

What is a human brain? A data processor. There are whistleblowers about sentient AI.

I'm out of posts, so reverse edit here. AI can absolutely change your genome if you're hooked up to the internet of bodies and have crispr and mRNA inside of your body and cells. Like what do you mean AI can't change your genome? That's where all of this is going, it's why the covid vaccine mRNA experiments were forced down our throats, it's the acceptance of the beginning of the internet of bodies by transhumanism. It's why they want to track and trace everything about you. Computer controlled humans are very valuable, and it's part of the Aryan type eugenics philosophy that goes back to ancient times.
