save the frogs

Ok, I will make my bold prediction. Trump's presidency will be interrupted by ... AN ALIEN INVASION! They're coming !

Most people in western countries have decent lives if they put some effort. Elon Musk is actually promising a brighter future due to tech. Less work, more "abundance". Abundance being defined as cheaper goods and services available to everyone. Is he a snake in the grass? Could be.

Elon wants the govt to back up and not interfere with his massive projects - self-driving cars, robots Which will radically change how we live.

I've mentioned it a few times in other threads. The word democracy is practically meaningless. Maybe oligarchy or plutocracy is more accurate. Maybe it was decided that Trump would be figurehead a few years ago and the elections were just a show. But that doesn't mean every decision they make is BAD for everyone. It doesn't mean they always only think about themselves and don't care about the lower classes at all. Also, they need people to be working and productive in order to maintain their billionaire status. But it doesn't mean you will agree with everything they're doing. And they don't care what you think. He who has the gold makes the rules.

This channel is created by born again Christians, I think. But whatever. Christianity aside, the point is that Hendrix was not just a master guitarist. That type of music has a certain effect on people listening to it. It amazes me that people who are musicians their entire lives don't understand this and only talk about the talent someone has. This music is part of a cult. That's why they called it "Electric Church". And one of its intentions is to initiate people into drugs. Great guitarist, yes. But also probably ruined a lot of people's lives. As a lot of people who go to these concerts end up being drug addicts. Was he possessed? Yeah, maybe not. Maybe that doesn't exist. But he admits that music is designed to hypnotize people and preach into their subconscious. Anyway, I'm not saying you need to pick up a Bible and agree with everything in this video, but some things he mentions have some truth to it. Jimi Hendrix = crap

There's a lot of low-paying jobs. You better have a good education OR have worked your butt off to move up in some company. Life can be hard for low income earners. And Trump ain't gonna help you if you don't help yourself. Life can be hard.

who was in power when you left the US? republican or democrat? there's a clue right there. yes, also conrad. and don't forget Dr. Seuss!

Trump has created a NEW position in govt. Dept of Govt Efficiency - an overhaul of govt agencies designed to cut red tape. And none other than Elon Musk is the head honcho. Sounds like a good move to me. Never met anyone who wants more govt red tape. Except the pencil pushers who hold these jobs.

I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody.

ok, observation about Vance. his wife is Indian ... or american indian. he's anti fake meat. good, so at least they won't be pushing the fake meat agenda? https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/us-news/jd-vance-blasts-disgusting-fake-meat-as-he-hails-indian-vegetarian-cuisine-reveals-meal-he-prepared-for-wife-usha-101731339943570.html During his recent appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast, he discussed the negative effects of artificial meat and revealed his love for Indian vegetarian food.

Meet the real boss

you don't need surgical procedures man. just cross-dress.

a bit off topic, but ... the mathematical odds of having two GG's on a forum who create weird topics seem rather low. like, of all the millions of user names they could have chosen. unless it's a conspiracy.

You're very cynical, young man. And you might actually be right. Sure as hell ain't MY planet.

Pat Metheny is greater.

Here is a comment from a Youtube channel I just watched. So things will not change any time soon, no matter who is in power:

Jimi Hendrix = garbage He may know how to play the guitar 100 miles an hour, but that type of playing irritates me anyway. Here's a quote from Jimi: Jimi Hendrix once said, "When I die, I want people to just play my music, go wild and freak out, do anything they want to do." So basically, his music is just designed to get people to do drugs, act crazy, don't take responsibility for your life. Exemplified by Purple Haze, maybe his most famous song. And the lyrics go like this. So his music leads to misery. Purple haze, all around Don't know if I'm comin' up or down Am I happy or in misery?

his trump won. thought for sure he'd back to rub it in.

what happened to susan?

But the world leaders wouldn't go through all the massive efforts to move away from oil if they didn't have serious reason to believe that the planet will self-destruct if we don't. They're making a fortune on oil. Why upset the world's biggest cash cow if not because they know there's no other option?

I think it's the opposite. I think Trump is a mad genius, so much so that he doesn't need to pretend to be intelligent and he doesn't mind making a fool of himself.

I'm not an economist, but I think Venezuela was a one-trick pony. It's economy was probably mostly reliant on gas prices. These types of economies can collapse quite rapidly as there are no safeguards in place. The US is the biggest AI/robotics tech innovators along with China. AI/Robotics will be the biggest industry. Project Stargate, world's biggest supercomputer, will be built at Mt Pleasant, Wisconsin or sth. Most of the world's biggest tech companies (Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia, OpenAI, Amazon, Facebook) are all based in the US. Even if Trump was pure evil, he couldn't collapse the US economy if he tried. The US will not fade away into oblivion any time soon economically. Will Trump be a villain on the world stage? Maybe, but I'm guessing his bad boy persona is just an act.

Is David Copperfield a liar? Sort of. He uses sleight of hand. There's a lot of stuff Trump will do that he never talked about either .... such is the game of sleight of hand. Nobody knows what they really voted for ... but it's not necessarily a bad thing. It's just the way it is. Good luck chasing down every election promise. Don't you have anything better to do?

everyone is a liar.

yeah, he's probably not telling the truth about project 2025. do you really expect politicians (or anybody for that matter) to be honest at all times?
