• Western World - Expect 25% Living in "HooverVilles" Soon ?

    From c186282@c186282@nnada.net to talk.politics.misc,alt.politics,alt.politics.usa,alt.fan.rush-limbaugh,alt.survival on Thu Oct 2 00:28:46 2025

    Too much has become Too Expensive.

    We're talking basics like food - but also
    prices for housing and insurance.

    USA and lots of places, you'd better be well into
    six figures if you plan to buy a house. Oh sure,
    you can 'finance' - at killing interest rates and
    evil plans - assuming you can even FIND something
    to buy.

    Rentals - almost the same issues. Insane prices.

    Home/car/med insurance - same issues.

    In short we really seem on the verge of a LARGE
    portion of the pop being completely forced out,
    living in tent cities, "Hoovervilles", on the
    edge of town in squalor.

    Now add in "AI" replacing lots of jobs ...

    Can/will any kind of govt deal with it ?
    Sorry, the answer is probably "no". Too
    much, too big, is in total runaway mode.

    Doesn't seem to matter what "-ist" your
    country is ... same horrors everywhere.

    Will it crash ? Yes, eventually. Will it
    crash back to sanity/goodness ? No. Forget
    the "age of prosperity" - more back to
    lords and serfs.

    Speak for the US, not the whole "western world".

    In some parts of Western Europe life of regular people is
    more comfortable, more 'normal' (although it'd be notably
    better if they weren't engaged in confrontation vs Russia).
    For younger Americans, it's recommended to escape the U.S.
    and settle somewhere else. Russia is also an option.

    As the billionaires become trillionaires, there's a giant sucking sound
    as the Elon Musks, Jeff Bezos's and Peter Thiels of the world vacuum up
    the wealth that formerly gave the U.S. the highest standard of living in
    the world. One doesn't have to be a rocket mechanic to figure out that
    as the trickle up effect makes everyone poorer, the tens of millions of illegal aliens the billionaires imported will be used to finish the job
    of impoverishing the former Free World and turn it into Greater South

    The elite have wanted a 2 class society for decades. They have tried the race wars,
    infested with drugs lower class neighborhoods and so forth but it looks like they
    just might have finally stumbled upon a method that might work.
    The elite want globalism so this is not just a US thing.
    It's also not party based although the democrats as of recent are pushing a far left
    socialist type policy so they are leading the push at this moment in time.

    For years, the rich and powerful have been getting obscenely wealthy on the backs
    of the hard working middle class while the middle class has overall been losing due to inflation.
    At best, tossed a bone now and then to shut them up.

    And then there is the open borders under Biden, the current protests, riots, lack of crime prosecution
    and so forth which is NOT a coincidence because it all plays right along with what the elite want.
    They want to destroy the country and rebuild as above, a 2 class society.

    Unless the idiot voters wake up, this WILL happen.
    It's only a matter of time.
    Giving away government free stuff comes at a price.
    It's called freedom.

    And Musk raised the price of housing HOW exactly ?
    Bezos tripled insurance prices HOW exactly ?

    You're in the commie-prop grip laddie - blame
    the horrible awful evil "rich people" for
    everything.

    It's not "rich people" - indeed they're going to
    lose a lot of money as the number of financially-
    viable people, customers, shrinks and shrinks.

    Unaware of ANY country with a "post-AI" plan for
    the affected humans. Guess they get trucked to
    the nearest Soylent Green factory ...

    It's "systemic" ... everybody trying to get a little
    richer all the time, all at once. Everyone along the
    line keeps upping their prices/fees a little, then
    a little more. The cumulative effect is growing
    damaging "bubbles" ... then a huge crash even more
    horrific.

    We see in in 'socialist' countries, 'capitalist'
    countries ... and you don't wanna see 'communist'
    or 'theocracies'.


    One doesn't have to be a rocket mechanic
    You should study the subject ... learn about
    cause and effect, about feedback loops and
    resonance coupling. Might improve your insight.

    Jimmy Carter attempted a "wage/price freeze"
    program. SEEMED like a way to deal with that
    systemic inflationary nasty bit ... but in
    truth was sort of a disaster. Clearly we
    should not emulate that 'fix'. Ronnie did
    much better, but it's hard to pin down WHY
    to just one or two surefire things - maddening.

    If this shit was easy then ...

    It's all about lazy white Americans refusing to take jobs of hard working immigrants now. White Americans have always been lazy and are soley to blame for what President Trump describes as the American shithole. All evidence of America's failure points to whites in the Republican voting red states as the cause. The red states struggle to produce 30% of the USA's GDP, proof that it's their fault and dealing with those unproductive white southerners should be the first step in making America great again.

    It probably stems from their age-old slave culture. Southern whites were
    too lazy to do any work themselves so they started the slave trade so more industrious blacks would be forced to do all the work for free. This shiftlessness has been passed down from generation to generation and the result is today's shithole America. Lazy, unproductive white Americans from the deep south are to blame for all of today's problems.

    much, too big, is in total runaway mode.

    Doesn't seem to matter what "-ist" your
    country is ... same horrors everywhere.

    Will it crash ? Yes, eventually. Will it
    crash back to sanity/goodness ? No. Forget
    the "age of prosperity" - more back to
    lords and serfs.


    As the billionaires become trillionaires, there's a giant sucking sound
    as the Elon Musks, Jeff Bezos's and Peter Thiels of the world vacuum up
    the wealth that formerly gave the U.S. the highest standard of living in
    the world. One doesn't have to be a rocket mechanic to figure out that
    as the trickle up effect makes everyone poorer, the tens of millions of
    illegal aliens the billionaires imported will be used to finish the job
    of impoverishing the former Free World and turn it into Greater South
    Africa.

    The elite have wanted a 2 class society for decades. They have tried the race wars,
    infested with drugs lower class neighborhoods and so forth but it looks like they
    just might have finally stumbled upon a method that might work.
    The elite want globalism so this is not just a US thing.
    It's also not party based although the democrats as of recent are pushing a far left
    socialist type policy so they are leading the push at this moment in time.

    For years, the rich and powerful have been getting obscenely wealthy on the backs
    of the hard working middle class while the middle class has overall been losing due to inflation.
    At best, tossed a bone now and then to shut them up.

    And then there is the open borders under Biden, the current protests, riots, lack of crime prosecution
    and so forth which is NOT a coincidence because it all plays right along with what the elite want.
    They want to destroy the country and rebuild as above, a 2 class society.

    Unless the idiot voters wake up, this WILL happen.
    It's only a matter of time.
    Giving away government free stuff comes at a price.
    It's called freedom.



    i saw a headline that used the term "populist billionaire" to describe a billionaire running for a PM position in Eastern Europe. It's as crazy
    as calling someone a Pro-life abortion "doctor".

    Inside Wealth
    The wealth of the top 1% reaches a record $52 trillion

    Key Points
    The top 10% of Americans added $5 trillion to their wealth in the second quarter as the stock market rally continued to benefit the biggest
    investors, according to new Federal Reserve data.
    All wealth groups saw gains over the past year, with the net worth of
    the bottom half of Americans increasing 6% over the past 12 months,
    according to the Fed data.

    [Taking inflation into account, that alleged 6 percent increase might be cancelled out by the loss of spending power due to de facto devaluation
    of the dollar. -- Rodney Luther King]

    The growth has been fastest for those at the very top.

    All wealth groups saw gains over the past year, with the net worth of
    the bottom half of Americans increasing 6% over the past 12 months,
    according to the Fed data. Yet the growth has been fastest for those at
    the very top. The top 1% have seen their wealth increase by $4 trillion
    over the past year, an increase of 7%. Their wealth hit a record $52
    trillion in the second quarter.

    The top 0.1% saw their wealth grow by 10% over the past year. Since the pandemic, the top 0.1%, or those with a net worth of at least $46
    million, have seen their total wealth nearly double to over $23 trillion.

    <snip>

    The surging wealth at the top has created an increasingly bifurcated
    consumer economy, with the wealthy accounting for a growing share of
    overall spending. Consumers in the top 10% of the income distribution accounted for 49.2% of consumer spending in the second quarter, marking
    the highest level since data started being compiled in 1989, according
    to Mark Zandi at MoodyrCOs Analytics.

    The so-called rCLK-shaped economyrCY has performed well so far, at least according to broad economic measures such as GDP and consumption. Yet
    the growing dependence on a small sliver of consumers at the top carries risks.

    Zandi said a deep and prolonged decline in the stock market, which is
    driving almost all of the wealth gains at the top, could send wider
    ripples through the economy.

    I don't know about you but I never heard about Transgenders until Trump
    became President and now that's all anybody talks about. It's like they've taken over or something.

    Everybody who voted for the President suffers from TDS Transgender
    Derangement Syndrome and they are 130% obsessed with them.

    Transgenders probably created Project 2025 over at the Heritage Foundation because everybody knows that their President and CEO Kevin Roberts is a prominent Transgender.

    Did you know about the latest on Charlie Kirk?


    Turns out he was one of them too!

    I copied this from Gateway Pundit Trump expert:

    Charlie Kirk Was A Lying, Cheating, Faggot Shit Heel Who Fucked Around
    Behind His Wife's Back

    He also said "Trump's a fucking cuck snowflake, always whining and bitching like an old woman. The white race should disown him. He's damn old, mentally unstable and clearly sick. I betcha we'll be sitting down with
    some beer and popcorn to watch his funeral soon."


    Charlie Kirk loved sex with nigger men. Charlie Kirk loved sex with nigger men.
    Most say that Charlie Kirk should have died more slowly and painfully than
    he did.

    Tyler Robinson was humping Charlie Kirk and Charlie was shot for being a Tranny. Charlie was what is known as 'a bottom', meaning he takes erect dicks in his asshole.

    He deserved death and being dead looks good on him. Most rightists are
    child fuckers who deserve to be shot.


    Charlie Kirk wanted to be shot. He even said so. He used to say that firearrm casualties are simply part of the price to have the 2a. Surely he was referring to himself and not others! That wouldn't be nice at all.

    The right needs more Martyrs like Charlie. Keep 'em coming.

    Check out the video of Charlie Kirk's neck exploding, it's uncensored on
    Elon Musk's X. Elon even reposted it.

    Pretty cool shit man. There's big headed Charlie, yapping along saying
    his things about guns and shit as usual, and then his neck blows up and
    the blood! The blood gushed out like Niagara Falls man! Boy! That was
    a good shot. Then he goes real limp man, kind of like he got a Vulcan
    nerve pinch from Spock, but worse. Suddenly his superpowers vanished!

    It could have only been more cool if it was a perfect headshot and his
    brains spattered all over the stage when his head blew up.

    Nothing's perfect, but that boy Tyler deserves a NRA sharpshooting award.

    ThereAs a long, disgusting history of right-wingers defending child
    predators like Trump and Epstein

    As conservative lawmakers and members of the media baselessly label LGBTQ people and their allies as ogroomers,o they have invited scrutiny of some
    of their own behavior toward children u and their embrace of people found
    to have sexually abused kids.

    Unfortunately for right-wingers, the internet is widely accessible. On
    Monday, progressive media watchdog Media Matters released a thorough
    timeline highlighting conservative media personalities defending child molesters and promoting the sexualization of children u and, in many cases, audio and video footage is included as evidence.

    The report features several figures youAre likely to know if youAve been following coverage of right-wing extremism in recent years. For example,
    Media Matters shared audio of fired Fox News host Tucker Carlson on a shock-jock radio show defending statutory rape and making perverted
    comments about girls sexually experimenting at boarding school.

    Avowed white nationalist Nick Fuentes made the list for claiming heAs onot against groomingo children as long as theyAre being groomed for marriage.
    And podcaster Matt Walsh made the list after downplaying sexual abuse in
    the Catholic Church as onot a pedophile scandal.o

    The Media Matters report also includes Ian Miles Cheong, a popular Twitter user on the right who has been known to attack LGBTQ people with ogroomero claims. In since-deleted tweets, Cheong repeatedly said the age of consent
    is too high.

    And Media Matters also noted that Turning Point USA, a right-wing
    organization run by Charlie Kirk, has collaborated with multiple convicted
    sex offenders for some of its events. I recently covered one of those collaborations for The ReidOut Blog.

    If your least-favorite conservative commentator isnAt on my abridged list here, donAt fret: Head over to Media Matters for the complete roundup.

    You may even want to print out a copy to keep in your wallet, so that the
    next time a conservative begins to rail against groomers, you can tell them
    to save their breath and look inward. Because you brought receipts.

    I never advocated for communism or any kind of taxes on the obscenely
    rich -- I simply observed that with the rise of billionaires and now trillionaires, there is less wealth left to go around for the working
    class and middle class. It's not Marxist or Maoist to make that simple observation. I was not advocating a solution to the vast disparity in
    wealth, so spare me the self-righteous sermon.

    Well I don't care what the wealthy do. I'm simply pointing out
    what is going on.

    Call me selfish but social issues aside all I care about is what I am earning,
    how I am being screwed paying for those who refuse to pay and medical care for
    all citizens before illegals.

    Hey ... they're more IMPORTANT than you are ! More
    Equal ! Deny it and you're some kind of "-ist" who
    should be in a gulag !

    Exactly !
    It cracks me up when I see people obsessed with entertainment people,
    sports players etc as if they actually understand what the average person
    is struggling with.
    To them, we are the little people.



    As I have said many times before, i did great financially under Clinton.

    Bill was Bill ... didn't really fit any clear category.
    His main policy seemed to be chasing the office girls :-)
    He basically just let the Reagan reforms stay in place
    and took the credit.

    Yea he was an alley cat for sure but being married to a witch like Hillary
    I don't judge him.
    In fact I thought the Monica incident was hilarious at the time.


    These days though the parties are so extreme I really don't know what to think.
    Think "Bad !".

    The USA has been maneuvered into becoming way TOO much
    like those perpetually-violent 3rd world shitholes. All
    the Great Commie Plan, 100 years in the making.

    Indeed.
    The rich, elite far left commies/socialists/Marxists whatever, finally
    got their race/class wars.



    Europe/UK ... I think they're there already.

    Unless they make a major turn around, they are in serious trouble.
    They have only themselves to blame though.

    they forget all about that and become snooty 'lords'.

    I don't judge him.
    In fact I thought the Monica incident was hilarious at the time.

    Careful, the wicked witch STILL wants to fly
    back in ...

    Without Trump next time, the GOP will be a bit
    short on "star power". In our system that can
    be a big problem. Rubio is 'pretty good', JD
    is 'pretty good' (and damned good at speeches),
    but I'm not sure it's enough. If the left can
    build up a 'celebrity' candidate it CAN win and
    instantly tear down everything remotely MAGA,
    no net gain after all this. The Mexis will be
    back by the millions too and guess who gets to
    pay for them ? Venez drug boats will get Navy
    escorts ....

    I think it's too late. It's all gone too far. Their
    countries are broke and now deeply fractured.

    The Brits are all upset today about their home-raised
    jihadi who attacked the Manchester synagogue ... but
    they're the ones who fed him, let rad jihad breed
    right under their noses, created a massive population.

    DAVOS MAN

    HOW THE BILLIONAIRES DEVOURED THE WORLD

    PETER S. GOODMAN

    For most of us, 2020 was a year of prolonged torment. Its very
    numerals seem likely to endure as shorthand for mass death,
    fear, isolation, shuttered schools, threats to livelihood, and
    countless more mundane forms of misery from the worst pandemic
    in a century.

    But one select grouprCoa species of human known as Davos
    ManrCothrived like never before. The wealthiest, most powerful
    people on earth used their money and influence to separate
    themselves from the pandemic, riding it out in their
    oceanfront estates, mountain hideaways, and yachts. They
    feasted on calamity, snapping up real estate, shares of stock,
    and other companies at distressed prices. They applied their
    lobbying muscle to turn gargantuan, taxpayer-financed bailout
    packages into corporate welfare schemes for the billionaire
    class.

    Part 2 of the Trump calamity does not involve COVID-19.

    It involves the Heritage Foundation, among others.
