Bob Long Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 1 hour ago, Bure_Pavel said: No but it is a thing and will be a thing regardless of any countries government. If you fight it its a lose lose scenario, the best option is find build a relationship with these titans of industry that benefits both parties and the general public. Government oversight to ensure they play by the rules is required though. We want as many of these titans to be based in Canada or the US as possible. The more other countries like China and India have, their power and influence will grow with them. Capital investment should be encouraged as it fuels new technologies and advancements to increase productivity. true, I'm all for more direct investment in Canada. But let's not pretend that Regan was a friend to the little guy, he wasn't. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw an article the other day, where the author was responding to confusion from some folks about why all these Tech Bros are supporting Trump. The confusion stems from the fact that these guys are predominantly silicon valley types and are generally expected to be liberals.... The author basically said that people are making it too complicated. These guys are rich assholes and they want to remain rich assholes......tax cuts are music to their collective ears. It doesn't matter that they already have more than they could ever spend and that their tax dollars would help the people that made them rich in the first place.....they want to keep as much of their money as possible and if Donald Trump will help them do that, they don't care if the White House is inhabited by a twice impeached, racist, misogynist, lying, convicted felon. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he was more of a champion of industry and good for the American economy, by attracting business investment it fostered solid growth. Then in the future when the next guy comes in and raises taxes back up they are laughing. Its one way the left and right actually benefit from each other.

There are two kinds of tech bros. Those venture capitalist and slimy founders and the tech bros that actually do the work and founders that actually want to make a difference or advance technology with their innovations.

NewbieCanuckFan Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Note: "The principals of North Star do work for Republicans including Rubio, Graham, DeSantis, etc and the second company calls itself the leading voice for next generation conservatism." Like Nate Silver & his polling stuff, who now also happens to essentially work for the GOP (and I don't mean political bias but who actually signs his paycheques).

Obviously sucks Trump is still leading but that is such an improvement from 39% with Biden from the same pollster. Took 1% off Trump as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reagan increased the national debt by a staggering 186% during his 8 years. Though to be fair he did get a lot of economic bang for his buck. The future next guy who raised taxes was his own VP George Bush Sr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrefan1 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 6 hours ago, DSVII said: My understanding of BLM is that they are similar to Antifa, as in it's a decentralized movement with no clear cut leader rather than an organization. So I find a statement claiming to represent all of it very suspicious. It may just be one person rather than being truly representative of the movement. Not to mention this is only being broadcast on conservative channels right now. I'd look deeper into the folks who are writing this tbh. Edit: these guys sound like far leftist grifters who are trying to latch onto the movement who just happened to register the domain name first. Wouldn't surprise me if they take dark money considering their lack of financial transparency. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Lives_Matter_Global_Network_Foundation#:~:text=The organization is often mistaken,com" as its official website. I have no idea. I know they have a board of executives that decides the policies, handles the money, and makes overall policy. That tweet doesn't get released without authorization.

I remember hearing about some leaders of BLM being Marxist but again, who appointed them as so called leaders... They have a board that handles things.

Kamala has already secured more than half of the votes, so the race is over. It's just academic at this point. They know that, or at least I hope they do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overarching BLM idea is a decentralized political and social movement according to the google. That's all I was pointing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they have a board of directors that controls and makes policy and handles the money. Anything past those things, I'm quite ignorant of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
