    What part of "Naked Claim" are you having trouble understanding. What Math .. you have given no math .. how many people are made poorer by wealth inequality ? and by how much .. and what does this add up to.

    Do you understand what Math is mate ? If you want to claim Zero .. as someone ignorant of the "wealth inequality" might do , . then claim that .. but state something other than running around crying "Math Math Math" - but giving no math .. or how you arrived at your conclusion .. giving no support for claim.

    You claim wealth inequality does not add up to a Billion dollars .. OK .. then what does it add up to .. how much .. what calculation did you use.. or are you going to make my day and claim "Zero" - proving you have no idea what wealth inequality is .. and so if you do claim this .. provide definition of wealth inequality..

    Floor to you mate.

    very true, we have Fox news that defends the right and attacks the left
    and we have MSNBC that defends the left and attacks the right
    that is not news

    softball questions for those they agree with and gotcha questions for the other side

    but really, it's social media that is the biggest issue, and mainly as foreign government can post as Americans, and make people believe what they what them too (with vpn that can make a person look like they are from any country they wish, hard to stop)

    as for the vaccine, much of that misinformation was other countries pushing it, some maybe cause they hate America, others cause maybe they thought if we used less vaccine, would be more for their country

    yes, it's become too profitable and powerful

    people that do not care about our future are more likely to take these jobs now than in the past

    and many know that they do not need to come up with solutions to win reelection anymore, just hate the right people

    Yes to your first comments on media .. one of the greatest crimes . the "Sin of Omission"
    No to the social media comments - Foreign Gov'ts using Social media have insignificant impact on the beliefs of Americans. Americans get the the vast majority of propaganda fed to them by local sources .. and the Vax Misinformation came from the Biden Fauci Clownshow .. and although you didn't say or mean this ... I would agree that they hate America.

    And Last .. Don't forget CNN .. "The most Trusted Source in State Sponsored Propaganda"

    Democrats are not ty he only ones to blame for current events. While yes, they are currently in charge and many if thier policies has wreaked havoc some of Trumps policies have also. His talk with Saudia Arabia about holding back oil for instance didn't do us any favors. Nor did two stimulus Bill's help.

    So while its easy to blame the current party in power or opposing factions, the fault really does lay with both sides. So hold both parties responsible. Its really the only way to stop what's going on.

    totally disagree, in fact our government is doing it to other countries as well

    if you can distribute propaganda in a country and make their people think it comes from their own people, it's much much more powerful

    and you totally lost me trying to blame the covid misinformation on Biden, lol, if anythign that came from the Trump admin

    And Last .. Don't forget Faux.. "The most Trusted Source in State Sponsored Propaganda"

    the reality is, even if you thought a poster on a site was a foreign national, it would be against the rules on most sites to point them out

    Fox used to be the worst .. and while a propaganda mouthpiece .. is much better than the other two these days. Didn't say we don't do it.. nor that other nations don't .. nor that the other nations do not have influence .. where you missed the boat is addressing the assertion that the State Sponsored Propaganda is way way way more influential. .. so don't worry to much about Russia Russia Russia .. which was not even propaganda .. but the Truth .. our side being the ones spouting the propaganda.

    Your claims about covid .. are based on spoon fed propaganda mate . YOU .. are a prime example of the influence of State Sponsored propaganda .. your views -- your perspective -- spoon fed to you .. and you believe it .. because of the same ailment as my Mother.. so I know this disease well. Deep down in that heart of hearts of yours .. you still believe Gov't is acting in your best interest at the end of the day .. "someone has your back" .. concurent with a lack of consideration for the future ... a perspective born in the heat of the momenty .. no care for the rammifications down the road .. that Gov't will never go bad .. in any realistic sense.

    Not sure how detailed our covid discussions were .. but what is a fact is that what ever we did discuss .. you got it handed to you .. hard .. as I am a subject matter expert .. as opposed to some internet junky who read and article that was funky ..

    Some of the propaganda you believed was as follows.

    Transmission significantly prevented by vax --- False
    Risk of harm from vax far less than risk of harm from covid - False
    Risk of hospitalization far greater for the unvaxed -- False - Bad Science .. only true for a select group within the population.
    Risk of harm from Omicron significantly greater than seasonal flue -- False

    My post contained many comments .. What is not what ? and why did you bother posting this inane gibberish ... Cat got tongue .. Is all you can twirld around crying no no no .. rolling on the floor salivating and laughing? must have hit as button somewhere that triggered this strange behavoir. :)

    Inquiring minds want to know - what is it that has challenged the propaganda narratives you have ingested ? ..

    You running around crying "NO NO NO" "Gibberish Gibberish" .. but not stating what you are talking about .. what you think is wrong .. is what is Gibberish..

    I get that you can't muster anything beyond salivating on yourself .. . a normal reaction to having one's necessary illusion bubble pricked .. Just curious what it was that pressed your button .. has you so gobsmacked you can't even mention what it is :)

    DESPITE ALL THE MEDIA ATTACKS: Trump at ‘all-time high’ in 2024 betting, swamps Biden.

    Prices were normal, everything was in stock and wages were rising under the Orange man.

    [​IMG]

    He started climbing and Biden started diving during the Afghanistan bugout and his disrespect for our warriors that were killed in the fiasco after he turned Afghanistan and $40B in military material over to the Taliban.

    Kamala's been a long dive that continues. Pence was massively superior.

    “Donald Trump has now hit an all-time high mark on the Smarkets exchange and is pulling away as the clear favorite to win the 2024 election. Polls continue to place him way ahead of any other Republican.”

    "DeSantis is new to the Europe-based betting pool on the 2024 race and has emerged quickly as a favorite."

    “He is amassing a string of rich donors and, if anything stops Trump from running, would likely become the overall favorite to take the White House in two years' time,” Shaddick said of DeSantis.

    In Biden and the Dems America, not only are 70% now reduced to paycheck to paycheck, but even in decide not to get robbed by the gas pumps and instead fly, they have completely screwed up air travel as well.

    Memorial Day Air Travelers Hit With Heavy Flight Cancellations
    [​IMG]
    "Instead of canceling the flight hours ago, delta had me waiting from 3:50 pm till 12:04 am just to tell me my flight was canceled."

    [​IMG]

    "Combine reduced flights and soaring jet fuel costs -- on top of increasing flight demand, ticket prices have already catapulted with a record monthly jump in March. And could go higher this summer."

    "Unreliable airlines and record-high ticket prices, at what point do travelers give up on flying? "

    Shortages, sky high prices, unreliable service -> Demand destruction and soft lockdown.

    Some dems loved the lockdowns. They were also very supportive of the violent riots. How soon until the violent leftwing rioters are burning our downtowns again?
