Justafan Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 45 minutes ago, Jamalisms said: Actually, most of us talked about how the human impact of these policies would be severe. And they are. That you are willing to excuse that human cost is less a policy justification and more just an ethical preference. That’s a cop out and naïveté to the situation. We’ve had this discussion before. I won’t have it again but I’ll continue to post the amazing success and unsurprising story in Argentina where a once rich country became poor with stupid socialist policies and is slowly climbing its way back out with free market economics. The only form of economics that has ever created wealth and had a long term positive human impact. Little Earl, Titandan, and headhunter 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titandan Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 2 hours ago, chef said: Interesting take. I would like to ask this guy in what meaningful way is Trump for centralization of government powers and how much covid had to do with the deficits from Trump's first term. Furthermore, Trump did try to repeal and replace Obamacare but was effectively rejected by the senate. Otherwise, I agree with what he said about Trump's first term and his analysis on US budget being completely different. Defense, Medical, and Social Security are the largest and most difficult(near impossible) to cut.

Jamalisms Posted February 17 Author Report Share Posted February 17 Ye Good Ol' Pump and Dump ... He's Argentina's Trump, for sure --- Argentine President Javier Milei is facing calls for impeachment after promoting a little-known cryptocurrency, whose price soared then collapsed after his endorsement, leading to losses for thousands of investors. The news has caused a major scandal in Argentina, with the opposition accusing Milei of promoting a scam, an allegation that the presidency has denied. Pablo Sabbatella, an expert on crypto security issues, told CNN that Milei shared a “smart contract,” a kind of interbank code, of the Solana blockchain platform, which had became fashionable in recent months among investors who bet on highly volatile assets. “The first thing I saw was that the website had been registered yesterday (Friday); (which) is typical of a scam,” said Sabbatella. He also indicated that the token was created minutes before Milei published the message. “The whales (large holders of the asset) bought at practically nothing. Then the price flies and when it is up, they sell. It is known as pump and dump; that mechanic happened,” said Sabbatella. He noted that he saw accounts that bought at very low levels earning more than $4 million in two hours, and one that earned up to $87 million with the sale. https://www.yahoo.com/news/argentina-president-milei-faces-impeachment-230655811.html Starkiller, IsntLifeFunny, OILERMAN, and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OILERMAN Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 A lot of these new brash leaders are just grifters pretending to be looking out for the economy in the name of capitalism. They see the people as "marks". And get the fuck out of my face with this crypto shit. It's just a scam. Suckers try and make a quick buck off of these meme coins/crypto etc....They deserve what they get. I doubt anything happens to Milei but he should be impeached and jailed for this.

OzTitan Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Fair enough, I was aware of Trump coin but didn't really connect it as the same thing for some reason, but it likely is. Trump wannabes around the world need to remember the flood-the-zone tricks before scamming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
