Opinion Very weird article about Obama

[NoDak]

The same reason it is the safest, is the same reason we can do whatever we want. Where else are you going to go.

As @NoDak has made quite clear to me, we have all the leverage. We could make a monkey president, and a dog VP, and the American super power would keep marching on.

Literally nothing short of nuclear Armageddon could derail this train.

Ha, yeah that is my take of the ideas he has shared.

Im sure you have heard of the idea of having "fuck you money".

Well America has "Fuck you resources", and I really want to tell the banks Fuck You!!!

Here, you are bright guy. Watch this. It is an hour long, but it will change your world view. It did mine.

Where have you been, boy? He got paid $40,000 for that (including off camera time) because people who work(ed) for the US State Department as geopolitical analysts usually have a pretty good idea of what they're talking about. This one is under eight minutes, and from 2014.



The last sentence is kind of priceless, America's position has only been further solidified in the time since given we now produce over 12 million barrels a day of domestic crude and it'll likely be pushed to 14 before the end of 2020. At a low estimate, North Dakota's Bakken formation alone holds 30 billion barrels worth, and that's recoverable largely thanks to break-your-neck tech innovation in response to the Saudi led OPEC war on the US shale industry from 2014-16. It responded by cutting the break even prices in half.

And this all the while the country is undergoing a massive reindustrialization that will see it becoming the most competitive manufacturing nation on the planet circa late 2020. Ad Nauseam at this juncture.

We can't even keep up with it.




And that brings us to something he rarely mentions: Industrial High Tech.

Yes agriculture, energy and demographics are of immense importance but in the modern world, as innovation anchors and how they translate to defense, so are advanced materials, aerospace and semiconductors. America brought two of those industries into existence. This can't be taken for granted though and it's why the offensive defensive actions taken against the CCP (actually started by Obama) have been so necessary.

ZTE should've been left collapse, this was absolutely delicious though (take in the holy power of export controls) and it's not like these are market-based transactions anyway. And what sort of "investment" is it that China makes in the United States exactly, the sort of organic FDI capital investments that result in stateside job creation?

Uh, no. It's just code for buying up US tech assets, transferring intellectual property overseas and having American employees train their Chinese replacements. Even buying a minority stake gives you access to industrial trade secrets and every single one of these Chinese buyers is connected to the CCP government in one way or another.

As if their is much of a difference between Wall Street and hip hop.

Both have thugs who glorify money above all else and have no problem engaging in criminal activities to get theirs. A male centric business that use strong arm tactics to get what they want.

What’s the difference really

And California who has shale reserves equivalent to ND, is still untapped.



Yes, you sold me. Tales of America's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Get with it Cali. Your economy would be on fire if you stop your non-sense.

 

[Unknown Pleasures]

Utter trash. The cultural aspects of most popular music and hip hop is garbage. It literally makes you dumber after having listening to it.

To be fair, I literally get dumber after reading most of the posts on this forum here.

 

[TheGreatA]

Obama has said some smart things, but they usually get buried. Like when he called out the American students for being crybabies that don't want to listen to opposite view-points.

I think he might need to take a stronger stance in trying to steer America's conversational culture in the right direction. I don't think he has yet left the impact that he wishes to have had. A part of that is because he was perhaps too much of a "nice guy" for what in America's history has always been the ultimate, unquestionable authority figure.

 

[Long Dark Blues]

black households whose heads have college degrees have $10,000 less in net worth than white households whose heads never finished high school.

Is this counting just tangible assets, or is the deficit created by taking out student loans factored in to total wealth?

No duh heavy student loan debt is going to create a deficit in wealth compared to someone who didn't have to take out loans but worked from the time they were teenagers.

My buddy has worked in a machine shop since we were 16, and now hes foreman or shop manager or whatever. On paper, factoring in my student loans, he has more "accumulated wealth" than I do.

What’s the difference really

Skin color, huge difference for conservatives.

 

[TheGreatA]

I said it in the other thread, which is basically the same thread as this one (time for a merge?). But it's worth saying again that Obama was always more "conservative" than this forum and the Republican party pretended he was for 8 years. They needed a super-Liberal boogeyman and they created one, but this is a man with pretty old-school family values.

Here's Obama talking about this same topic in 2007:

Obama sounds like Jordan Peterson here.

Yup.

Tell that to HSBC who helped launder close to a billion dollars of Mexican drug cartel blood money.

But hey they wear suits and Ties.

This guy is a scumbag lol . He’s 100% correct but didn’t say anything like this in his presidency because he was too busy inviting drug filth rappers to the Whitehouse.
