All "protests", looting, violence and vandalism was organized. Ever heard of "flash mob?"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_mob

Now consider how do you, day after day, get flash mobs in 20-50 cities near simultaneously.

REALLY? All that was spontaneous? First, spontaneous protests. Then, spontaneous riots. Then spontaneous firebombing and looting.

REALLY?

He understands, as apparently you do not, that Antifa has been actively providing cover and support for violent rioters, while trying to hide under a supposed "movement not organization" subterfuge.

You need to ask some basic questions, like "Where and who is the Central Command behind the recent nation wide organized protests and nation wide organized violence."

In the recent COVID mess, in the US, we've got numerous anecdotes of people stopping work/not going back to work the very moment government payout for doing nothing exceeded the income they got from the job they dropped.

Expanding that to the macro economic level, it would seem that the more a country moved toward UBI, the more it would be shrinking it's Economy and GDP.

They should be carefully picked up in a small plastic bag, that carefully closed, and placed in the nearest trash bin along with all the other doggie doodoo.

I can see how the face to face standup shoutdown could have worked as you described, but it would have required padding the crowd with fake "protesters", who were really MAGA. A plausible and typical thing for knuckle dragging, lowbrow Democrats, but something that likely didn't even occur to Trump or his associates.

No, it's not. I wonder what happens when it'r property tax collection time. You know, time to collect the money to pay for the schools, hospitals, police and such?

Does CHAZ collect and keep the taxes?

Or do the city and county say, "Your little fun time is up. Get out or we throw you out."

I wonder how realistic it is to offer such a suggestion. That is, knowing that the same crowd the previous day sheltered terrorists, and this one likely did also.

Really? How much of classic literature do you have to ban do get to that point?

Want to include all of Jack London's fiction, where he shows the N-word being used to refer to Polynesian Islanders in the common language of the 1890s?

How about Hemingway?

I'm going to stop at these two, but just recall, words mean different things in different times and places.

The mixup of individuals, philosophies and nations in the same chart?

If not just "garbage" it's downright weird. Stein? On the same chart as Mao, Reagan, Jefferson? You are kidding, right? Sanders? Middle of the road, eh? He's one of the more authoritarian creeps of the last several decades.

But regardless, a chart of this type with FAILED US SOCIALIST CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT?

The "rules of engagement" specify when and how they should use deadly force. Simple as that, although there may be gray areas. These rules vary tremendously by state.

Since you are a communist, you must lie about this to hide the things your communist friends are doing.

Almost always we see "statist authority mongers" as being the current version of the "liberal", a totalitarian toad born of wrecked ideals of freedom and liberty.

So there's room left for some right wing "statist authority mongers?"

Thank you. And we'll have a nice summer as soon as disruptive foreign influences stop funding and organizing riots and violence here.

Regardless, it'll all stop after trump wins the 2020 elections. And that's really all this is about, is attempting to unify a solid "wall of victims" to vote Democratic.

Yes, it's that obvious.

Regardless of your feelings on this particular incident, if violent drunk/jacked up individuals have 100 run ins with police some are going to escalate to shootings.

At the same time, there's always been a hint of "maybe something's wrong here" on the topic of shooting people in the back.

A fascinating piece of speculative fiction there, ending OF COURSE WITH...

ORANGEMANBAD!!!!!

I do not think any serious second wave will come, but I have low certainty about it. My communicator with Virus Bug High Command ran out of batteries.

I find it rather interesting the way the public is getting slowly metered declassifications of this data. As if it's intended to keep the story running.

Fine with me, but it has to be intentional.

Yes, that's sad, but true. Trump cautioned the black community about this multiple times during his election. The first time I saw him talk about running for POTUS was 2015, very early, and he spoke alongside a black man who had lost his son to mindless gang violence in the ghetto.

He said he would build up the minority communities.

Now certain elements would burn them down.

Regardless, this question has been variously posed throughout history. Notably as the effects of "government intervention" during the Great Depression of the 1930s in the USA, where a lot of historians concur that government policy LENGTHENED the depression, and made it worse. Also much discussed is Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" initiative, intended to lift minorities up out of poverty.

By comparison, the 1893 depression was very short lived, and may be considered a model case in which there was no government massive aid program.

You've got to agree that the fact that "every government" having embarked on a course provides ZERO PROOF that it is the correct action. Regardless, what will determine the recovery is the extent to which peoples' behavior has been changed or modified. In simple terms, will they go back to spending exactly the same as in 2019? If so, businesses and jobs will exist in similar amounts. If not, businesses and employment will be altered to suit the new conditions.

As one example, I do not think peoples' vacations will included ocean cruises in the future. So that's history, and those jobs and that spending is gone. That alone has many repercussions.

All that having been said, in the USA we have states, and we can experiment with things like UBI to a fair extent. I'm not at all opposed to that. What I'm opposed to is attempts to put such schemes on an entire country based on any type of philosophical construct (marxist, socialist, libertarian, anarchist, and yes capitalist).
