I knew an old neighbor who was able to retire by the age of 50 just because of the money he saved up doing trade jobs since 1966. Before he retired he paid off all his mortgage debt and bought an RV to go on yearly road trips with his family, his wife not having to work. The trade is what made America great, don't let a bunch of "educated" marxist nut jobs or maga grifters fool you telling you otherwise. Without the trade middle class America would have never existed.

This man is warning Americans about a problem with skilled labor. America does not have enough skilled labor and this is negatively impacting our economy as well the future of the US. The reason why America is resembling more and more like a third world country is because we lack industry and a skilled workforce. If it continues to get worse, and the trend is not looking good for us, in 20 years from now America will be, de-facto, a third world failed state. How does it make you anons feel?

they've already been doing effectively this for decades, rolling brownouts in residential areas in summer's peak, hottest parts of the day, to prioritize the electric grid for retailers and industry
everyone would be wise to invest in solar cause they absolutely will prioritize the data centers' needs over citizens'

The educational system failed younger Americans. College became a predatory debt racket instead of an actual job creator. The federal government became the predatory loan sharks. Instead of kids actually learning math and skills they have been turned into a walking forever-indebted piggy bank for mobsters. The smartest kids realize this before they get scammed and just drop out these days.

The late 1990s and early 2000s was peak capitalism for average consumers. You could still buy very good quality products in retail stores. Sure, you would often pay a hefty price but the products were built to last generations and most still work today. No nonsense subscriptions needed, no internet required to function, you bought it you owned it. We need to go back to that kind of real economy or future generations will never have the satisfaction of living in a true free market. They'll never know what it is like to save up money and the thrill of buying something and owning it for a lifetime.

Face it, the forced-surveillance rental 'economy' we have today is FAKE and GAY on ass-fucking hemorrhoids. Try changing my mind.

If you said that the government was wiretapping your phone in 1999, everybody would have called you a nutjob.

Now if you say that the government is wiretapping your phone, no one cares.

How can Americans sleep at night now or look in a mirror without feeling disgusted and ashamed?



 >>/79780/
The only thing that made America great was personal freedom, the right to own guns and the ability to live a middle class lifestyle. If that all goes away so does the country itself and there would be no point living anymore. Unfortunately that's what all our politicians and our government wants.

This is why China wins. They can produce great goods for consumers for dirt cheap, yet we today produce absolute shit that is all based on digital subscription and forced planned obsolescence. That is our downfall. We completely abandoned fair competition. Our government outlawed the free market. Politicians restricted our ability to remain an industrialized nation. We adopted a fake and gay economy based on ENDLESS WARS AND DEBT. Our entire "GDP" is cooked numbers based on debt not actual production. Fake and gay oh so fake and gay and that is why China will prevail because they stuck with what is REAL.

The 21st century has sucked ass so far. Family just had a debate whether or not living in China or Russia today would be as bad or possibly even better in the near future, yah that's how fucking bad it is these days.

Why can't most Western countries build anything of value anymore? Have we gone so deep down the shit drain we now have a hard time maintaining energy stability and independence from other nations we're actively war mongering against? This is peak decline of empire status, most people do realize this right?

This interview gives us the answer. When all leaders do is try to stir wars and come up with boogeymen the only focus they have is war. They neglect the problems of the general public, of the well being of people in their own countries, they become irrational, bogged down in endless escalations that could easily be avoided and all at the expense of citizens sadly. You cannot have productive economic capitalism bogged down in endless wars. Capital wealth will always flee to greener pastures and that is exactly what has happened.

They don't know how anymore. Skills are no longer taught to the youth. Millennials are the first generation to be born into a post-capitalist post-industrial society. They were groomed for debt slavery and so is every new generation today.

HOLY FUCK IT KEEPS SAYING MY POSTER TOO LONG YOU HAVE NO IDEA I'VE BEEN SEEING YOUR EDITING THE SAME POST FOR OVER AN HOUR NOW AND IT WAS REALLY GOOD AT ONE POINT. bullet points:

-I hate all street shitting Dalit CSRs. especially when they start singing.
 

-I would pay a premium price for a gold dipped iPhone that smells like Bjork's vagina butt.

Nations that are constantly at war never build anything productive. Capital always benefits nations at peace. Since capitalism does not benefit most politicians or the MIC, we are in a constant state of unnecessary manufactured wars. Our leaders have chosen to profit off war instead of the free market.

BRICS is the future, our so-called "leaders" all but ensured it already. Never forget to keep voting for the corrupt though. Democrats and Republicans will most definitely save you because they all really care so much.

Why doesn't America simply REFINE OUR OWN CRUDE like we used to 40+ years ago???

Maybe then we wouldn't be forever stuck in Middle East wars!?

Stupid fucking environmentalism is the reason America is now so dependent on other nations' oil refineries.

No labor, no first world status anymore. If we don't build more nuclear power plants and start refining our own crude then at some point energy will be rationed and privileged to the very rich and government entities including data centers while everyone else lives in third world squalor. I bet that's exactly their plan too, guarantee it.

A long time ago we implemented fiat currency.

The problem with enforcing your moneys worth with the authority of your government is that those outside of your government's authority aren't required to see any value in your money.

So we instituted the petrodollar to ensure that internationally our money was backed by the oil purchased from the countries everyone else was getting their fossil fuels from.

That's something we had to use our military to defend for a long time until recently.

Now with the current global situation we are needing to go back to being self reliant upon the massive quantities of oil sitting under our feet that we just simply stopped using.

All the equipment knowhow and most importantly the infrastructure and communities that existed to drill that oil out of our own lands is long gone and will need to take decades to replace.

We don't have decades to replace it.

So we are pretty screwed.

But yeah, maybe one day we will have those towns again that are built around drilling up fossil fuels again.

Though probably not.

Truth be told we've been screwed over on this for a very long while.

So yeah, like Venezuela, who had oil, and at the same time, didn't. Its the same for us.

Remakes are ALWAYS fake and gay because our whole modern "culture" is fake and gay today. It really is. Every damn thing about this country today REALLY IS Fake And Gay. Let it sink in. You'll yearn to go back, you'll survive going back and adopting everything that is old.

Without Warning (1994). In a made for TV movie based in the early 1990s, news anchors over television broadcast begin documenting an end of the world scenario in real-time as multiple asteroids were detected descending to hit Earth and possibly upend human civilization. The Pentagon war plans striking them with nuclear-armed ballistic missiles before the asteroids hit planet Earth despite enormous risk.
