I don’t see how anyone sane can vote for Biden. He lacks competence

@NidoGod Joe Biden isn’t a criminal mastermind. He was just a corrupt politician and now old age has caught up with him

No one has ever considered Joe Biden a mastermind, he is a political workhorse

@NIDO I think the left needed to show they are open to honest discourse and instead showed they are willing to do anything to win. That’s not appealing to moderates

@nido I think that moderate people who want to vote for Trump are scared to be called racist or bigots. So they say “I am voting for Biden”. But there is a lot of silent trump support.

Yeah I bet the other chat turns into the welcome channel

He is intentionally alienating yes. But I am always voting for actions not words.

@RobertGrulerEsq that’s what I would do. Maybe make everyone click agree to the rules lol

That’s what I have seen on other channels

@Zuluzeit I am not a libertarian just a fan of people who want to have smaller government. Anyone who believes that gets my vote 😂

@Zuluzeit I think that policies often touted as rewarding rich people are misunderstood. Like trickle down economics, that’s very misleading. Profits in a company don’t trickle down. It’s illegal not to pay employees first.

In Australia it’s a crime not to vote. I don’t know what the penalty is though.

@Zuluzeit I think it’s the dishonesty. The “of you don’t vote for Joe, then you ain’t black”. Okay Joe. Sure.

@Nido what powers?

@Nido none of that sounds new to me.

@Nido I respect the criticism but I see Trump being singled out for behavior that was defended when Obama did it. Obama deported twice as many immigrants in his first term. Started more wars. Trump helped to pass criminal justice reform. Obama was there for 8 years. I voted for Obama so I am not speaking from prejudice. It’s just a bit one sided I think.

A lot more people were deported under Obama than Trump. Nobody even cared about ICE until Trump became president. Man is the best thing to happen to the progressive platform in 2 decades 😂

Woodrow Wilson. 😂

Ronald Reagan? Whoa 😂

@NidoGod Wilson signed the first income tax bill.

Into law

@NIDo and then it was amended and the Wilson signed it into law. Plus he just did a lot of other invasive political acts to expand government. Not a fan.

@nido I mean it’s possible for us to agree on facts but have fundamental differences in how evaluate the facts.

@NidoGod *

Lol you guys are asking a lot of guy to write a philosophical defense on a random question in a chat. 😂

@NidoGod more of a dog person

I don’t know Robert’s position but in my ranking the worst presidents are going to be people who expanded the power of federal government when it wasn’t necessary for the government to protect public interest or its obligation to the public.

@NidoGod noted lol

@Auto Are you talking about the GD?

You are talking about new money, I interpreted this as monetary policy in response to the Depression?

The need for money is inexhaustible.

So it’s not a good way to evaluate whether taxation is good or not lol

Economics is not a zero sum game regardless of any central bank.

Which is good

Because in zero sum games someone must lose for someone to win.

@Zuluzeit I mean, I am open to criticism of the Fed but inflation has upsides and downsides. For example, inflation encourages people not to sit on their money. It also helps adjust prices because elasticity of prices varies. So instead of everyone getting pay decreases you get less pay increases. So if you are in favor or against it will come down to what you believe the very day citizen prioritizes. Because you and I can still purchase Gold to hedge against inflation. Also, the inflation numbers coming from the Fed are often suspect. Imo

@Zuluzeit anything can be a racket if it’s monopolized by the government and abused.

@Zuluzeit I think you see nefariousness where it’s really incompetence. They have no financial incentive for bias. Their money is in a blind trust, where all public servants should have their money 😂

@Zuluzeit 👌 man 😂

@Zuluzeit you’re misinterpreting what semi-private means in this context. Imo. It is financiers who take advantage of the incompetence of the Fed. Not an orchestrated attack on your pocket. And politician who help by expanding the mandate of the Fed to include unemployment and market performance.

Unemployment shouldn’t even be a government mandate let alone the feds.

They are, because they now have 3 mandates. And market performance is one of those mandates. Which is ridiculous to say the least.

The fed should only be concerned with money supply. It would be difficult to back to a gold standard. Cheap money drives out better money. If we tried it would be replaced by cryptocurrency or some other cheap money.

It’s called moral hazard and one way to insulate against it is to have wealth stored in blind trusts.

Bias is inescapable

It doesn’t matter because even fans of the Fed have to be cautious now that Kashkari has said moral hazard isn’t an issue

I think this is going to be an interesting year 😂

No they have biases because they are people. They have no financial incentive other than a healthy economy.

But respectfully (to them) they are not the most competent people at understanding Macroeconomics. People who are at the top of macroeconomics are making huge amounts of money in finance.

Because all of their wealth is held in blind trusts. So if they favored one industry or sector over another they might inadvertently screw themselves.

Yeah, they could make someone rich. But they really don’t have that sort of attitude imo. The way Roberts sees himself protecting the institution of SCOTUS (I am not a lawyer I just gather this from all the lawyers I see talk) The Fed chairman and board want to protect the institution of the Fed. Plus it would be hard to get away with. If they favored someone competitors would probably be interested in uncovering corruption.

Everyone with a stake is you and I and your grandma

Everyone who doesn’t have a guaranteed state funded retirement will be getting their retirement from the market. Whether it’s equity or bonds etc. and social security is not a reliable retirement plan. money held by institutions is your money man.

Also state funded retirement is a scam on the tax payer. Please don’t screenshot.

Lol

😂 I just think it would be unpopular for me to say. I am not breaking any ethical codes of conduct.

Also there is massive deflation we don’t recognize. Mostly technological deflation. So I am just saying the issue could be more complex than the Fed is bad lol

Sedition probably looks good on my resume

@Zuluzeit Is your job being automated?

@Zuluzeit I took it to mean you were retiring.

Yeah I don’t think living your life is settling, that’s you enjoying what’s important to you

I had a superchat but I didn’t want to derail the election topic

Republicans control the Senate I believe, so good luck for sleep joe to pass any tax laws lol

Crazy that GA voted a Republican senator and found all those Biden votes overnight lol

It’s not cause of a bias media @Auto

Being facetious

Rittenhouse has awful lawyers

If he gets convicted it’s entirely on his defense team

@Zuluzeit would you really be accepting of this election if the results were switched and Trump found all of his votes over night? I understand a lot of people don’t like them but sacrificing the integrity of the political process for one, just ONE, win in a presidential race is cheap imo.

@Maw I am not a fan of paternal libertarians

@Zuluzeit it’s disingenuous to say that the vote by mail was undermined. What was undermined was the makeshift vote by mail programs Democrats implemented under the guise of health concerns because it gave them at best, a larger voting base, and at worst a chance for election fraud. My state has had vote by mail for a long time and no Republican objected.

@LrnAshly agreed, you can steal a national election and get away with it.

@Zuluzeit it’s fraud, I don’t think the people who committed the fraud believed they were acting unethically. I have heard many Democrats say that removing trump from office should be done at all cost. I just never knew everyone in this country was so soft. I am probably just used to personalities who say alienating things 😂

I am of the unpopular opinion that all Democrats should become libertarians or join the Green Party.

@realz 😂 it’s one of the basic truths of life!

@LrnAshly well I hope you are successful, the government needs more employees who believe in small government!

And effective government

@realz I found Frei cause I was watching Legal Eagle. I am not a lawyer but I suspected he was misleading people on the law. So I searched “legal eagle wrong” and Viva popped up first. Subscribed lol

Start of pandemic my legal literacy is Matlock. Then I followed Lheto, Viva, Uncivil, R&R, Nate, and some LEO and 1st Amendment Auditors.

Now, my legal literacy is: NEVER TALK TO THE POLICE.

That’s it. That all I know.

I bet Nate the Lawyer covered Rittenhouse

He’s liberal

@realz yeah I know I am just saying he is liberal 😂

@realz he is getting griefed by his liberal friends lol

I did. Cop comes out to tell his side and he is like “yeah never talk to the police”

That was hilarious

I watch a guy called Good Luck America who used to be a sheriff and he is always saying “don’t talk to the police”

https://youtu.be/Z7otNs9zkGI

Yup

I won’t even say my name without a lawyer.

Don’t want to get Flynned

So it’s probable cause but not a beyond a reasonable doubt. I can get behind that.

I think Uncivil Law is patented lawyer too. He covers all sorts of things.

Nate is my only left wing lawyer. That’s all I need 😂

@Elzam you have met a lot more ethical people than I have in this universe 😂

Can we get the 9ths ruling on concealed carry being reasonable suspicion of a crime to SCOTUS? Like I am just curious if anyone wants to defend that ruling 😂

@DeathRhodes666 I have heard that the Stanford experiment was not sound science. Basically it was one guy engaging in most the abuse. And he said later he just did it because he thought the experiment was going well and felt sympathetic towards the professor.

I honestly only watch like 5 lawyers. And Viva isn’t a practicing attorney anymore.

I think they are all providing their legal analysis as objectively as they can.

@realz 😂 I think he is like moderate right or maybe what used to be consequences Democrat

@realz aye
