Does anyone else find it insulting that blue states pretend not to understand the cycles of poverty they create?

...
Poverty cycle:
-want to help the poor
-use taxpayer funds to create programs
-raise taxes because they can’t fund other programs
-create more poverty due to exhorbitantly high taxes
-need more money in programs to help poverty
-raise taxes more (this time regressive taxes -
like gas, sales, home, etc)

The poverty creating environmental activist cycle:
-want to help “the planet”
-enforce stringent building codes
-area becomes too expensive or regulated to build new homes or housing complexes
-price of housing skyrockets-
due to basic supply & demand theory
-*now the 2 poverty cycles work together against taxpayers

And yet the people who call themselves “the smartest people in the room” pretend not to see the monster they’ve created, and don’t teach this in school.

Why?

I firmly believe -
CA is a test case for how to destroy the middle class.

This many taxpayer-breaking policies don’t get put into place on accident.

Nor would they continue to forge ahead if the results were a surprise.

Stereotypes & the Icthas story:

In my senior year of college I took an "arts appreciation" course to fulfill an elective - it studied classical music, architecture & art. A really cool class that I thoroughly enjoyed.

It was taught by a man made to break stereotypes -
He was probably 6'5, white with blonde-red hair, a PhD in classical music, gay as the day is long and conservative (although he never flaunted any of those attributes, which would be rare in academia today).

One day he saw one of the magnets pictured above on a car while driving
...to class and told us why he feels those magnets are the sign of a terrible, uncaring and dark human being, even though those who have them will typically want you to believe otherwise...

Matt Deperno in Anterim, MI announced that they found the ability for the voting machines to do the proverbial “4am Dem ballot drop” after voting closes and go back into the machine to change the tabulation tape to cover their tracks...
Add into the equation that the county supervisors don’t have passwords to look further and that the “certification” companies are full of former Dominion employees and you have the full fraud equation:

...
And here’s the thing - they’ve done this for a very long time, and so much that people routinely joke about the “4am Dem ballot dump” before elections.

But they didn’t understand just how engaged people were in this election...

Back in my Special Forces days we had an oft-repeated teaching & motivational point.

When people started complaining about long hours & blister-filled training, a senior NCO would stand up and remind us of what we were working towards: ...
"...always remember, there's a shithead somewhere out in the afghan mountains right now training all day every day with the sole intent of cutting all of our & our families' heads off." ...

A friend who’s quite “in the know” said that Tim Scott is a good guy at his core, but it was lobbyists using “more dark money than you can ever know” to influence he & other GOPe to refuse any action regarding Nov 3rd.

Taking money out of politics would fix many of our issues.
Sending traitors to the gallows in the public square would solve the rest.
A lot of people pointing out that integrity is priceless so giving yours up at any price means you have none.

But there was another part of that equation that should be known. "If you don't do what we want, the same money goes to a challenger."

Still doesn't change the -

Contemplate this on a Friday night...

All the Biden administration* had to do was keep President Trump's decisions and accomplishments in place and he could ride the wave to unparalleled before success in a new administration*...
Instead, they chose to undo EVERY major leap forward that President Trump brought us.

Now, here's the kicker: the Biden administration* is nothing more than Obama's 3rd term. Again, it's full of bureaucrats & intellectuals who consider themselves "the smartest people in the room
Which means they have at least an elementary grasp of economics and what happens to border security when CNN broadcasts the path to sneak across the southern border in South & Central America every night - which CNN has been doing...

Interesting times. All of the people “in the know” that I talk to about Jan 6th (even those who were there) are in 1 of 2 camps: Ashli Babbit’s killer was either part of Schumer or Pelosi’s detail.

There is even rumor a clear video showing that exists...
@DarrenJBeattie & his Revolver magazine have been pressing and seem to have discovered that her shooter WAS NOT in fact a member of Capitol Police.

And [they] know that if their false narrative about January 6th falls, everything they pushed as a result falls as well.

Other -
...investigations show that Ashli Babbit may not have been who we thinks he was, based on some evidence of things in life life that point to “spooky” activity.

One thing is clear - nearly everything America was told about Jan 6th was a lie.
