S&P downgraded amerika’s credit rating from AAA to AA+ like a decade ago. and this year, Fitch did the same. Moody’s is still giving that AAA tho. and these credit rating companies are amerikan, so there is considerable bias. they should have been downgraded starting in the 80s when public debt skyrocketed. now that debt has surpassed GDP, and only 32% of that GDP are from industry and agriculture, the US credit rating should be A at best

king: peasants who have cultivated a new swathe of land in the past two years in a village where half the children are starving will have the option of receiving an extra draft animal on a zero-interest, 10 year loan
peasants: can we keep a greater share of our harvests?
king: sweetie i wish i could do that but the East Francians want to kill all of you and its up to me to protect you. gotta feed all those soldiers. its hard work keeping you all safe but i do it out of the kindness of my heart. now toil for ur lord and he will share the spoils of war!! we promise!
naw they’re riffing on garrison. all Kelly comics are exaggerated conservative takes for satire
e: atp not much exaggeration is needed, so it sometimes comes off as genuine
aww bear is so excited to play 😊 so cute how much enjoyment theyre getting
i thought hexbear was a podcast abt having sex with ur dad!
gonna cop me a “vote Nerevar” bumper sticker to own the tribunal supporters
yeah but he also bit the king of r***’s dick off and used it as a weapon. thats the kind of ingenuity and creative problem solving i can get behind!
a “genocide” with no proof is impossible. there is plenty of proof of the Holocaust, even before the Allies liberated the camps and saw the documentation of the several genocides committed by the Nazis, it was well known around the world that an extermination campaign was underway. there were Holocaust victims who were able to escape during the war and told of the genocides.
now, where is the proof of a Uyghur genocide? its all hearsay from Adrian Zenz, a guy who’s been to China once 15 years ago. now western media props him up as a “China expert” bc he tells them what they want to hear. he feeds them lies for the propaganda machine in order to stoke popular outrage against China. bc a country like the PRC is dangerous for the existence of capitalism. look at how tough China is on their capitalists. executives of a baby formula company allowed expired formula to be sold in order to turn a profit, many babies died, the executives were tried for this mass murder, and a few were executed. this is justice, real justice. state power exerted against capital is the only way to overcome capital
are you mad that you were wrong abt China? and that the only sources you had to back you up were Wikipedia and the fascist propagandist Adrian Zenz?
it should be a graph of the ratio of CPI to unemployment as a function of time. instead they use time as a parameter for the parametrized curve of x(t) = unemployment as a function of time and y(t) = CPI as a function of time. no reason to do this, they are trying to make a point with a single graph and this just looks ridiculous
for real lol. if someone robs $250,000 from ur “own bank” (ur house) ur down a quarter million. that money is safe in a bank unless the government collapses
but yeah its fucked that private companies get to determine whether we can buy a house or car. and libs go postal over China’s social credit system when its literally the opposite (the public gives a rating to private companies to correct their behavior)
