Somedays, I have no idea how I get sidetracked on the tangents I do. Yesterday, I learned about crop rotation of soybeans and corn, the cost of farm equipment and how big AG contracts lock in production quotas for years not allowing farmers to react to market conditions.
Today, I'm going down the rabbit hole of the communist manifesto. I've read it before, but with all the Marxists running for government, I figured it was a good time to refresh my memory. Earlier this week, I was researching and commenting on international trade.
What will tomorrow bring? Who knows, but there are so many topics and subjects out there that to me at least boredom is truly just a state of mind and easily avoided.

The greatest danger to socialism/Marxism is a growing economy with increasing wages for the workers. Increasing wages stops the workers from sliding into the proletariat(poor, lower middle class, ) while expanding the bourgeois(middle class, upper middle class) to act as a
"buffer" and counterforce to the proletariat. Increasing wages also decreases the wealth owned by the few, narrowing the wealth gap.

Now, knowing this, revisit the polices of the last 30 odd years that were designed to drive down wages.
Things like "free trade", open borders, unlimited immigration, regulations, tax rates, military adventures, debt spending, foreign aid, death tax, great society programs, obamacare" all have the effect of decreasing the middle class & increasing the poor and lower middle class.

1. "Modern industry has established the world market, for which the discovery of America paved the way. This market has given an immense development to commerce, to navigation, to communication by land. This development has, in its turn, reacted on the extension of industry;.....
2. ...and in proportion as industry, commerce, navigation, railways extended, in the same proportion the bourgeoisie developed, increased its capital and pushed into the background every class handed down from the middle ages.
3. We see, therefore, how the modern bourgeoisie is itself the product of a long course of development, of a series of revolutions in the modes of production and exchange"- Karl Marx.

1. Some people are still confused about tariffs and their impacts (thanks fake media).

A tariff is a tax on foreign products.

Fair enough. In other words, Trump raised taxes on foreign products.
2. As with any tax the final rate and rate of Increase determines its impacts on the economy. Maybe it will be easier to understand if we use a tax we all know as an example instead of the mysterious tariff term.
3. Let's say the government goes crazy and decides they want to tax income. I know a crazy stupid idea but what are you going to do.

4. So we start at 0% taxes on income. Life is good. Everyone gets up and goes to work knowing all the fruit of their labor is theirs to enjoy.

Yesterday we learned that multiple Navy Seals reported that their commander slit the throat of an unarmed, non-violent Muslim boy just because he felt like it. Killing him just for fun.

And it hardly trended or made the news.

Yesterday we learned that multiple Navy Seals reported that their commander used his sniper rifle to blow the head off of an unarmed, non-violent Muslim girl wearing a flower hijab. She wasn't a threat and nobody even claimed she was. He did it for fun.

Yesterday we learned that multiple Navy Seals reported their commander would regularly park his armored truck outside of random neighborhoods and simply begin ordering machine guns fired and rockets launched into hundreds of homes - slaughtering people.

Yesterday, we learned over 500,000 news stories were unleashed onto the public and presented as fact from every news outlet from Reuters, NPR, AP, CNN, MSNBC, FOX, ABC, CBS, NBC, NYTimes, and so many more. These corporations are programmers, not news sources.
They have learned to extract your emotions. They have been doing this to us and our parents our whole lives. These companies have priorities and none of them are the truth. Please wake up now. Start living your life again from a place of authenticity in information.
We can fix this country. It won't happen with a president or any other politician. We need to trust each other instead of our programmers. You are going to have to do your homework. Information will no longer be spoon-fed to you. This takes work, research, and resilience.

Hora de ser modinha:
1 like = 1 curiosidade sobre o MBL
1. MBL foi criado em 2014 por menos de 10 jovens entre 18 e 30 anos pra fazer uma manifestação contra a Dilma, pela Lava Jato e defendendo a imprensa, já que uns petistas tinham atacado a Veja.
2. O @FernandoHoliday entrou no comecinho no ano seguinte após mandar um vídeo dele para a página do movimento falando contra as cotas. Foi convocado na hora.

Yesterday we learned about the arrest of a career #FinCEN employee. Her career supervisor at FinCEN was named as an unindicted co-conspirator. I worked w both of them briefly from 2015-16. If they did share SARs, I’m very sorry to hear that. The leaking of intel - including /1

1) There’s a lot of BS about @nntaleb’s Black Swan, antifragility & skin in da game. Let’s take the gloves off and get into trouble.
2) When the Swan flew out, it was immediately butchered by imbeciles not understanding that you can’t predict the unpredictable.

That is the point – and an IQ filter NNT himself proly did not expect.
3) In any complex domain – life! – the Blackest Swan is always skulking around the corner. You know it’s coming, but you don’t know what where when. You can't tame what you've never even conceived of.

Can you get it?
