Si the illegal arm possession charge was dismissed... over the gun's barrel not being the right size and rittenhouse being over 16 at the time. Yep, clown world.

I would argue that the assessment there of the consequences of a US default are fairly... tame.
Yeah, I'm sure what's tanking the economy and causing this era of endless debt is fucking LGBT initiatives and gender reassignment subsidies, makes total sense.When the USSR defaulted, retired russian workers lost their pensions.
The article hints social security could find its way on a budget chopping block.
Food stamps, unemployment, affirmative action, abortion funding, gender reassignment subsidies and other programs could also get hacked. Which would be crazy to think about given the high percentage of US soldiers who rely on food stamps to feed their families.
Biden and friends seem to really like LGBTs. I think they'll keep the gender reassignment subsidies. Probably state abortion funding as well.
But everyone else might not be happy about the results.

"in some cases"... meaning what? Nothing I've read suggests a vaccine ID is required at grocery stores, only restaurants. If a grocery store serves food and has a place designated for eating, those who use it are required to show proof of vaccination. That is obviously not the same as being banned from "shopping for food", but obviously certain groups of people have motivation for framing it that way, don't they?California is requiring vaccine ID and state ID to shop for food in some cases.
Does it make life harder for illegal immigrants who have no state ID or vaccine ID?
If democrats are throwing illegal immigrants under a bus, there's a chance LGBTs will be next to join them.
The soviet union was basically a third world country. Meanwhile the US dollar is the world's reserve coin, Food stamps, unemployment and whichever other nonsense you bring up is basically peanuts to the magnitude of the impact of this issue.When the USSR defaulted, retired russian workers lost their pensions.

You don't need an ID to get a vaccine, so I don't understand the point of this post. Do you ever double-check your information before you post, or is egg on your face something you really enjoy?

Are you ever going to address being habitually incorrect about simple information? Or are you changing the subject simply because you're yet again caught being misleading?Are you happy with the direction vaccines mandates are taking?
Do you realize they're killing jobs, murdering the economy and depriving everyone of options and opportunities in life. Which overall translate to a reduced standard of living for all of us.
You seem very happy about all of this. And so I hope you're rich and wealthy. Grow your own food. Generate your own electricity and clean water. Or else you'll see your standard of living significantly decline as a result of these policies.
Agree / disagree?
You guys don’t? How do you guys maintain the vaccination data, then?

Vaccine mandates aren't killing jobs. If anything it's making job openings because the folk unwilling to vaccinate will move to jobs where they're lax on vax requirements, while anyone else with human empathy will just get the jab and take the job left by the dumbfuck who was willing to lose his job and potentially become homeless over a political statement.Are you happy with the direction vaccines mandates are taking?

My point here is that the implications of this go far beyond just US social security or food stamps. The US dollar is the foundation of world commerce. China and russia have wet dreams about their currencies being used in international trade but barring a few countries over which they have a lot of influence that's but a pipe dream for the foreseeable future. The risk of a default is pretty much unlimited... And a bigger threat to the US than china or russia.Saddam Hussein dropped the dollar as a reserve currency around the year 2000.
China, russia, japan and other nations publicly announced and practiced "de dollarization" policies for many years now.
Long story short, every nation around the world has watched the US deficit grow and taken steps to isolate themselves and their economies from the expected demise of the dollar.
Food stamps, unemployment and social security are "peanuts"?
What does that even mean?

I don't think companies are laying off workers right now. I mean, I am sure you can cherrypick some but the macro situation at the US remains that there is a massive worker shortage. Companies at the US right now are acting under the assumption that if they lose an employee they are not replacing him or her for a while....Vaccine mandate isn't killing anything, not when people are the ones choosing not to get the vaccine to protect others, if not themselves. Not to mention, big companies keep getting loans but still lay off workers, like some airline companies, while some other major companies get loans meant for small businesses. It's really remarkable how the right will not point fingers at companies that mismanage their money, but they will blame poor people for not being financially literate.
This was last year. From what I've heard from job seekers, companies are actually not hiring some/most people despite saying they need workers, which makes me think that they're trying to freeze out people and force them to accept less benefits/money.My point here is that the implications of this go far beyond just US social security or food stamps.

Three companies including Gate Gourmet, a global provider of airline meals, received $338 million in relief money for workers — and laid workers off anyway.www.propublica.org
