Its not just honest defaulting they have to deal with. What most people aren’t made aware of is that when banks etc. lend money to people, the bank creates that money right there and then. Just like typing it into an excel sheet and pressing enter. Through this, private banks create 80% of the money in our system: not the national bank who make the rest which includes all the physical money.
Essentially, we’ve given private banks the licence to print our money and no one seems to think that there might be a problem with that idea.
So, much like the financial crash, there’s no reason not to suspect this is going to have a huge element of banks just creating loads of money for themselves to use.
Those that aren’t unable to pay off loans are running out of money too but aren’t taking out new loans to buy new things. So, there’s no new credit lines being made, in which these things can be lost, a bit like in a ponzi scheme but in reverse. Its also one of the reasons inflation (too much money chasing too few things) is so high. Covid was the perfect time to do it, due to all the loans being issued (money being created). You don’t hide a needle in a haystack. You hide it in a giant pile of needles.
Paying back to loans and paying tax actaullt destroys money too. So, another reason we have too much money is not taxing the rich fairly but tbats another story. Governments create money and then takes tax. What isn’t destroyed is the deficit.
He would probably become president if he had chosen Haley but there is just zero percent chance he acknowledges he was wrong. This is a Democrat making up theories, not a leak familiar with his thinking.
For someone as narcissistic as Trump, the fact there isn’t a 5 hour documentary and 600 media posts detailing his time in hospital, the state of his ear, T-shirts with his X-ray and MRi and ultrasound of his ear, and 3d print of the ear as a collectible wall mount etc is what is actually odd about the whole thing.
He’s making money off of two perfect once in a lifetime photo shots though.
Oops Dei is hardcore cult within the Catholic Church. And before anyone replies with “the Catholic Church is already a cult”, know that Opus Dei makes conventional Catholicism look like a casual bake sale.
Opus Dei frequently recruits Catholic teens through ‘youth clubs’ to be ‘numeraries’. They specifically target smart kids who are emotionally vulnerable and/or neuro-divergent, and groom them to join their movement. The goal is to get them fully subservient and brainwashed by the time they are in their late teens. At that point they sequester them in sanctioned housing where every aspect of their lives can be controlled, and they push them hard through college. This is also when they are inducted into the movement as numeraries and pushed into a life of celibacy in complete service of the movement. (There is another type of Opus Dei members called ‘super-numeraries’ who are Catholics recruited as adults after they are married. They are also exploited by the movement, but not to the same degree.)
After college numeraries remain trapped in this housing and lifestyle. Opus Dei then sends them out to work in conventional jobs (usually higher-paying ones to maximize their income theft). And all of the income the bring in is taken by the movement for their nefarious plans. The relationships of numeraries are totally controlled, to the point where any friends or family members who express concern about their well-being are cut out of their lives. Any emotional trauma or mental illness they have is left untreated, and is exploited by the movement to keep them subservient.
A numerary’s life is controlled utterly by the movement. As mentioned before, all their income is given to the movement. Their daily schedules are completely controlled. Self-flagilation (not in a fun sexy way) is encouraged to keep them fully-ridden and obedient. And when possible, they are pushed into working with Catholic teens to perpetuate the recruitment and grooming process.
Opus Dei is a fucking cancer on society. It doesn’t surprise me at all that they are involved in Project 2025.
I actually have one of those “youth clubs” close to where I live (also close to a university). It’s this huge, modern building full of what looks like hotel rooms from the outside. Only ever saw female teenagers and older ladies there, but yeah it’s hard to get a feeling from the outside of what it is about. For a long time I imagined it was like a correction house or something like that.
