Instituting tariffs on our largest trading partners and deregulating medium-sized banks and foreign megabanks is going to inevitably lead to the collapse of the US economy and the world's economy.

I'm also concerned with the lack of addressing the growing bubble in the car loan and student loan market.

The last time we had a financial bubble as big as these two have gotten that eventually popped, we had the financial recession 2008. And no one in the government seems to want to address it, despite even economists saying it's something we should pay attention to.

We are, but the thing is with student loans and car loans, we're already beginning the same exact process that occurred with Housing Bubble that lead to the Mortgage Crisis. Car loans especially.

Yup. The banks simply bought and resold the houses that foreclosed after the housing bubble popped in 2008.

That's exactly what happened when reports surfaced about children being separated from their families and put into cages. Trump falsely claimed that the Democrats passed a bill in 1997 that resulted in the separation of families.

Gualimole wrote:That's exactly what happened when reports surfaced about children being separated from their families and put into cages. Trump falsely claimed that the Democrats passed a bill in 1997 that resulted in the separation of families.

I've actually seen so many people defending this and then they clutch their pearls and get all offended when people call them evil. They actually believe that separating children from their families is reasonable, and that it's simply having a different opinion. If you dare criticise that opinion by calling the supporter of it morally bankrupt, you're the one who is making politics toxic.

The mental gymnastics of the right never ceases to amaze and infuriate me.

Gualimole wrote:Yup. The banks simply bought and resold the houses that foreclosed after the housing bubble popped in 2008.

And what is Trump doing to address the Car Loan Bubble? Nothing, there is no addressing it officially, and from what I can tell there is nothing happening further down the chain of command. At the very least, nothing changing anything meaningful.

As far as I'm concerned addressing potential causes for a financial crisis should be very high up there on priorities.

And please note, this isn't just a criticism of Trump, but also Obama. Obama also didn't address these issues in his time in office, beyond vague ideas of addressing student loans.

As far as I'm concerned, both Democrats and Republicans have shat the bed on this one, and are only smearing it into the sheets.

Great Kemet declared war on Brasilistan tonight. They kidnapped children from our country and forced them to be slaves in their diamond mines. Military advisers will draw up a list of strategic bombing targets which will decrease Brasilistan's capacity to wage war. Afterwards, we will invade and colonise the country.

May the gods guide us and protect us.

Good morning, everyone! It's been too long!

First off, Happy Fourth of July to all Americans! I know it's an important holiday. The American or partly-American standard-gauge engines of the Island (Hank, Sam, Connor, Caitlin, Rosie, and Porter) will be having a celebration for the occasion at Callan Castle later today. At the same time, diplomats and other important guests will also be having a banquet inside the castle to mark the day. I'm sure a good time will be had by all!

Second, I've heard of Britain's great success in the World Cup, advancing to the quarter-finals and all. Congrats to them! Percyton doesn't have its own national team, so a lot of people root for the British team. Quite a lot of people were in an excited mood earlier today, let me tell you. Me and Thomas even had to run extra trains from Ffarquhar due to so many people coming and going from The Toby pub there. While I'm not big into sports, I am really excited about Britain advancing, and I'm glad people are so happy! Although, I do hope they celebrate safely, and I'd like to remind them that trains and buses are available to take them home if they're too drunk to drive.

So that's my news. What about everyone else? How are we all today?

Just because the demonym "British" refers to a state doesn't mean you aren't British anyway. Just like if "European" meant a citizen of the EU, but a Brexiteer wouldn't consider them self one still doesn't make them anymore less European.

That's why I said I'm geographically British and will still be so after independence. The difference is I wont be legally British. It's the latter I want to shake, not the former.

I've seen many pro-Leave unionists denigrating the EU union but praising the UK union to the heavens. They sneer at nationalists who are pro-EU and think their criticism is a smoking gun. "Oh, you hypocrite. You want to be ruled by Brussels but not London? The unions are EXACTLY the same."

Go to any comment section on a Scotland article anywhere and you'll find pro-Leave unionists arguing for the UK but against the EU. You'll also find pro-Remain unionists who think Scotland should shut up and do as it's told because England and Wales decided to leave the EU and we must follow them.

Scots are a pain in the arse. They want the "best of both worlds" because independence is too much of a "big change" that would upset people with mortgages, nice jobs and nice houses. But apparently, staying in the UK post-Brexit is safer than independence.

Drvo-max or federalism will never happen in the UK. And even if it did, it wouldn't work.

ALL nouns are capitalised in German.

Interesting fact: English used to capitalise most of its nouns too in the 17th and 18th century. For example: In the original United States Constitution most nouns are capitalised. Same goes for the Declaration of Independence.

Great Kemet has colonised Brasilistan but it drastically raised taxes, lowered the average income, decreased employment and had a whole other host of bad affects.

I thought imperialism was meant to bring you riches, not drain you of your riches?

Just ask every empire, if they still exist :P and they'll tell you it drains you of your riches.

At least in the end.

Yee. I actually got to thinking about what the next generation US fighter might look like and I seriously wish I had a picture RN so I could add it to a -loose sci-fi- aerospace fighter.

That's what we get for being nice and making them citizens.

Fun fact: a 16 percent tax on the value of unimproved land (in the US) would make more money for the federal government than all current federal taxes do.
