Well, I winning bigly, so I got a lot of wiggle room.

The problem is banking, not currency. If I had a way to participate in banking by depositing gold (or any other form of sound money) when I needed to, using it to make payments, and then pull it back out when I don't need it for banking, such a system would be naturally inflation proof. Bitcoin fails to solve this problem as well, because ultimately, it's pegged to the currency it is exchanged for and is thus volatile due to speculation. If you pull your money out, you're just back in another fiat system. You could easily build a reserve based banking system that allowed both gold and dollars. Such a system would localize currency issues to whoever decides to hold that currency and people would only be exposed to risk to the degree they kept there reserves in the system. Even that risk could be minimized by well thought out reserve transfer rules. Anyway, no one ever discusses this because everyone thinks about the best "currency". It ain't currency. That's part of it, but the bigger more important part is the actual banking.

Yes, Israel should all leave. Remove itself entirely from the middle east. Everything would be much better. God kicked them out, it was prophesied. What right do they have to return? Even Hasidic Jews acknowledge this point. Politically they are an occupying force that injected itself into a freshly emancipated Ottoman empire. Spiritually they have denied their own messiah. Not sure what exact "right" they have to be there. Where would they go? The same place all the Iraqi's, Syrians, and all the other war refugees the American/Israeli alliance created (who managed not to get slaughtered in indiscriminate bombing) when they waged their illegal wars...."somewhere else". If "Oct. 7th lies at the feet of Palestinians" doesn't the Iraq War and all the illegal shit we've done in Syria/Iraq/Afghanistan/Libya lie at your feet and the feet of all American's who "let it happen"? You seem to be under the post-911 terrorist boogey-man trance, that all the evil in the world is caused by rapist Muslim 18yr old psychopaths, hopped up on Captagon tablets and yearning for white sex slaves.

I like it. I think in DV style though, it should say end the 'f&$kin' wars. However, I've grown quite fond of the 10% home depot discount. Not gonna rush cancelling that.

7:11 "going up the escalation ladder, becuase Israel doesn't have any alternatives domestically because of its politics." Even this sentiment I feel is perhaps a bit naive. If I want to take out the middle east, what do I need? Well, as an invading force I need the moral high ground. How do I achieve that? Well, I need some victims. "Zionism" is a great excuse. Perpetual victim, chosen by God. All we need to do is spill settler blood. How do we do that? Well, we keep killing babies until we get a reaction. So, I don't buy that the escalation is do to lack of choice. I think the whole point of settlers is to create and justify the escalation ladder. The settlers purpose is to die for greater Israel. Always has been.

You fully support evil, got it. You do realize your government supports this regime and most of the world does not and wishes Israel would go away. So by your rationale, and indeed your very words, you have "risked" war, and you and yours (and me apparently since I am male) should be imprisoned and shot/killed/bombed, should an enemy "who understands war" gain the upper hand. You're killing me with all the peace and prosperity. Ron Paul would be proud.

Maybe you missed my sarcasm. I mean before Israel kills "the ISRAELI hostages". I believe whatever political entity controls the state of Israel, they don't mind killing their own people. And if freeing Israeli or American hostages endangers their quest for war, they have no problem killing them as well, as they have shown.

Hamas can stop this war tomorrow if they would just release those darn hostages...before Israel kills them. They could. Dead innocents are kindling for the fires of war. All dedicated Machiavellian's understand this.

It's the internet, your choices are pretty much memes or pendantic responses, with an occasional "like" and/or "subscribe". If you want real change you gotta vote really hard... ...which is kind of like a bunch a "likes" resulting in a forced "subscribe".

Stop calling them "elites". Try something more accurate, like degenerate or rich asshole.

I spent a lot of time in central America, and some also in South America. A couple times on resort vacations, but mostly in video games. The video game times were the roughest, but mostly for the other people.
