The warnings stuff I have seen before, it happens every so often. 1. US immediately try to distance itself and claims that Ukraine didn't do it. 2. Russia reported that they captured 4 of the muslim terrorists and claims that they are foreigners from Tajikistan & were trying to escape to Ukraine, there is social media footage of an AK-12 lying on the ground which is a Russian weapon. Their state officials are trying to link them to Ukraine. 3. Some Ukrainian propaganda claims that Putin! killed his own people in order to escalate the war in Ukraine (2nd round of mobilization) I'll wait until the dust settles....

I've seen her without glasses- she is gorgeous head to toe

The Gold standard is the Shure SM7B which is $425 for professional podcasting. The newer but lower priced Shure MV7X ($192 plus tax) came in the mail, tried and liked it. Used a $20 XLR cable with reinforced wiring to block out electronic interference. It should be just about good enough for general use but it's not perfect. It blocks out sound if one has a loud computer fan on if the gain settings are tinkered with. However the audio is noticably lower than I would like but that can be dealt with post-processing, which is another hassle. I guess compared to the SM7B it is just a smaller and weaker version of it. But it is significantly better than the Samson Q9U which imho is a failed product, unusable in the summer. With the Vocaster the gain can be moved down with the static removed but the audio is way too low and dim, without punch.

a few years ago, it's all over the internet. IMHO the best model leaks.., Noel looks amazing

^ yeah she looks good.. As for megastars I am loving Taylor Swift and 5 of her songs.

For decades it was the Left that defended the Unions and the Right that weakened industry, Trump's message has shifted alliances and times have changed. This is one of the most interesting works on economics I've ever read. It is interesting more as a historical and political-economic artifact though. JKG was a highly influential public intellectual at the time and his arguments for the Democrats are very insightful, which included his defense of having a strong, diversified industrial base. JKG imho was correct but his message has fallen on deaf years decades since. The thing that struck me the most is how in the 1960s he and other intellectuals (philosophers, sociologists etc.) had optimistic yet ultimately very false visions of the future. They were from a time where Americans had a baby boom and a massively expanding middle class. They took this recent history and believed that it could continue, that almost all Americans would have at least a middle class standard of living (home, 2-3 children etc) and people would become much more enlightened and civilized. They even believed that one day, it was possible to even reduce working hours to 20 a week, and use the free time for enjoying social life and the arts, and one's true calling. Government would work achieve this vision. This was coined the "Great Society" and was used by President Johnson in his legislative efforts. They were ridiculously wrong as this dream has never happened 60 years later and the middle class instead has weakened so much since the 1990s and the quality of life went towards being far more dysfunctional/dystopian and anti-human.

What I have observed since the Obama years is that in the US there used to be powerful "family values" politics (coming from conservatives) and "middle class" politics- either bipartisan or democrat. It then suddenly took a bizarre turn towards WOKE during the final years of Obama. The middle class/family values politics got completely swamped by WOKE politics which was a pretty awful trade.

+ Russia launched a large missile & Geran drone strike on Ukrainian energy infrastructure today (ukraine claimed 155 projectiles against 133 structures). The biggest takedown was a hydro plant in Z-city. + Also a terrorist attack in a Moscow concert hall killed a claimed 40 people and injured 130 more. The footage shows men in military gear gun down civilians with automatic weapons, they also detonated incendiary devices to collapse the roof of the building. US / Ukraine denied their involvement, ISIS claimed that it is responsible It's literally a re-enactment of this scene from COD:

imho she was more perfect 13 yrs ago (father time)

Those rankings always appear to have a political bias. They put nordic european countries on top even though they have extremely high taxes and it's freezing (eg. Finland sweden etc) and have low birthrate. It's probably because they have less % poor people. Japan/South Korea are strangely ranked so high when they have extremely dysfunctional work culture, high social pressure to conform, and young people are too poor to make families. UK is a really screwed up country too and it gets ranked high- basically if a country is in NATO or allies (considered friendly to the West) and has Nordic policies it gets ranked high and the other countries are sub-human lol. Russia and China are in a completely different camp, they are industrialized countries that have a lot of relative monetary deflation and also don't have the debt problems of the West. Their PPP is several times higher than nominal gdp IIRC. I know that in Russia much of the economic activity is off the books and the cost of fuel & goods is several times lower than the west. Also in China manufactured goods are very cheap as they produce everything, similar to what it was like in America when it was industrialized. Both also have traditional family values. Alcoholism seems to be a massive problem in Russia, they have a large male to female life expectancy gap.

Yeah, feminism and the myth of the independent woman that "can have it all" (in reality only some make it, the others fail) and shaming women that put family first plays in quite well in procuring a new labor supply. I think that is why corporations like to signal their support for this. The Sex and the City 'Dream' so to speak, and the sad myth of the average woman eventually getting a lifestyle like a hollywood celebrity... The biggest problem is "free trade". It absolutely ruinous in a way that economists who are miseducated under the neoliberal paradigm do not understand. When all of US industry disappears and instead goods from Mexico and China are imported, the American people lose not only tens of millions of jobs but the entire infrastructure and capability to make essential goods in the first place. Then the people are impoverished and have to live on credit, hand to mouth and are unable to form families, raise more than 1 kid, stimulate local economies and create communities, leading to vicious cycle. Both in North American and Europe the birthrate dropped massively only to be replaced by illegal and legal immigrants. The white woman birthrate dropped by 1-1.5 children in these countries. The complete loss of countless industries since the 1970s means that Americans can no longer learn how to make such things, let alone create multinationals. Also a society needs to have a jobs for all types of people, not just people who want to rot inside of cubicles and in front of computer screens. White collar work is physically/psychologically unhealthy and unnatural & mentally ill to an extent. And it's not like multinationals are necessarily selling manufactured products cheaply, much of it rips off the consumer with a high profit margin. This is why half of the US is looking more like a 3rd world country than a 1st world.

I don't know anything about Noel expect that it's with a white guy. Her fappening leaks were with a black guy, it is obvious in them that she loves black men. Hannah pregant- don't know. With hannah edwinson her thread has been very slow, almost dead for years. She still looks great though and not that different from 8 years ago.

You talk about competition but that's only one thing, it's stuff like the Western way of doing business and the environment that was more successful initially- property rights, financial instruments, strong rule of law, etc. and support of industries by the governments (both in Asia and in Western countries). But that is really in the past as these advantages are gone, other states have them too. About 'less competition' that is not necessarily the case. Competition can easily destroy new and growing businesses before they can develop to their full potential, it happens all the time, typically by industry leaders. The typical US new business will fail, it is only a tiny minority that succeed for more than a few years. I do agree with you on how established Fortune 500 type corporations are engaging in corporation socialism though. The flaws that "socialist/communist' economies "have" apparently allowed China to be no. 1 in the world with state capitalism. USA recovered from 1930s Great depression (25% unemployment), built the 1940s war machine, and went to space with state capitalism and several East Asian countries went from 3rd world to 1st world in a generation. The Soviet Union also industrialized after the Russian Civil War, won most of WW2, created the largest army in the world and went to space which was impossible for a capitalist regime before they began to decline internally. I don't think the core problem is competition. Outside of fossilized industries, there is massive overwork of people in many Western countries and Asia that have led to declining poor psychological and physical health. (US life expectancy has declined by a few years..) The key issue I believe is the whole "neoliberal"paradigm that has saturated the whole of US society and has to varying degrees saturated Western countries. It has massive failures that caused Western civilization to degenerate and stagnate and has effected asian countries as well. The UK seems to have most closely followed the failed US model to its extreme detriment. It extends from economic-financial to politics, international trade, military affairs, culture and is a form of state religion as all of us are educated under this paradigm and consume media that assumes it to be objective reality. It is a type of brainwashing that is at odds with the truth and any real understanding of what constitutes a worthwhile and flourishing society and life. The final result is that billionaires-upper class, finance sector, multi-national corporations, government and certain favored industries (healthcare, education, defense, real estate, etc) become predatory over the bottom 99% + of society, which has stagnating or lower living standards due to being ripped off and used as "labor factor inputs" (catastrophic inflation and low job security/overcompetition for jobs that aren't minimum wage, etc...). The human being becomes siloed- out "atomized, individual consumers" and the actual institution of the "family" is broken up via the destruction of traditional social values/community with LGBT/Feminism etc. Western governments and households have incredibly high debt levels (especially the US), and live hand to mouth due to operating an extremely unbalanced economy, society, and state.
