How does one arrest a corporation?

Right now those are the organizations making sure the smaller banks don't fail. So while I agree with your sentiment, now isn't a good time to be going after them.

Ranchers don't typically have a ton of cash in banks. Most of their assets are in the ranch itself. And then investments if they have a lot of excess capital.

And are backed by very, very rich people.

We've had that conversation and its a resounding yes. Giving people a better life from their first moments is a no brainer.

You're probably more focus on the weird things like making kids taller or whatever. Rich people are going to do rich people things. We'll see how that works out.

Encryption isn't all that interesting. Any alien signal won't be built on our protocols or use our language. We are unable to understand an alien signal whether encrypted or not. The signal will look artificial either way.

The real assumption is that aliens capable of transmitting signals over galactic distances are still using RF to communicate.

Yes, using AI is ludicrous. It brings nothing to the table that wasn't already being done. This is just part of the AI craze to get people excited about aliens.

It's absolutely amazing how you've twisted things to pretend you're right.

Covid happened in early 2020. Trump's travel ban was in 2019 when he was instigating a trade war, not related to covid.

You're making baseless accusations and are wildly uniformed about the state of the world. Do you understand the current proposal is due to China's huge swing in covid cases? That's nothing like what Trump was doing.

But again, you're likely more aware of this since you have strong opinions and you're just arguing in bad faith.

Do you really think the only difference is that it was Trump then and its Biden now? I do not believe you are here in good faith.

Wow, you are you people who don't understand how this is different? If you need it explained, you have a lot of recent history to catch up on. That's not a reddit comment.

I'm quite perplexed by this comment. Are you naively asking why this is different today? Or are you cheekily drawing attention to how everything is actually very different now? I can easily read it both ways.

>no business is guaranteed profits

What sucks about this is that many parts of the US government need the stock market to continue going up. Lots of things like retirement funds, futures markets, employment, etc. requires the economy to continue growing. So feeding profits to companies like Exxon helps with that, basically giving them guaranteed profits. It really sucks.

Have a conversation that close to me? I am part of it already!

That's clearly not how anything works.

But what is the race? What are we racing towards? Is this just a "who can spend the most" race? Are we racing to colonise the moon? Get someone to Mars? What's the end game?

Calling Qatar third world is not helpful. The country has immense wealth, its citizens have one of the highest standards of living anywhere in the world.

What needs to be said is that it has a slave-based economy that didn't exist in the 20th century. It is completely foreign to the Western world, even as it is just an extreme form of our own economies.

Yep, nailed it. You people are sick. Seek help.

Incel brain is such a weird disease...

It's amazing that you think this is a reasonable response. The Chinese people are not the CCP. Those moving to Canada typically want to escape the bullshit. Pushing them away when they're in Canada is what gives the CCP the opening it needs to influence them.

I've read that most Islamist organizations are opposed to IS because they aren't particularly ideological. They are truly just a terrorist organization that wants to control people by any means necessary.

I'm sure many in and around the Iranian government see the writing on the wall. This is either the hardliners trying to force hardline policies, or it really is IS trying to push this revolution in their direction.
