The US is the world's undisputed economic superpower, thanks largely to geography and the self-immolation of Europe in 1914-1945.
But the US is not really a first-world country. It's more like a third-world country and a first-world country coexisting in the same space.

Obviously any President can have policies that go poorly etc. It’s wild that Trump’s presidency is getting nuked by tariffs and the Iran war, two completely insane things that it’s not even an exaggeration to say no one asked for and he did for no reason.

Dying weathy pales in comparison to dying with reputation of having accomplished great things. But America is land of unbridled capitalism and the almighty dollar, worshipped from sea to shining sea, inflation runs rampant, and culture exists as afterthought, if it exists at all.
Charlie Munger died with about $2.2 billion. his partner Warren Buffett is worth well over $100 billion. they ran Berkshire side by side for decades.
in the clip below Munger, 95 at the time, gets asked why the gap is so big. his answer takes ten seconds.
“well, he got an was actually six years older. but Buffett bought his first stock at 11, and Munger only set up his own investment partnership at 38.
he adds two more reasons, almost as an afterthought: Buffett is probably a little smarter, and he works harder.
“there are not a lot of reasons.”
then he turns the question back on the room.
“why was Albert Einstein poorer than i was?”
this was the Daily Journal meeting in 2019. Munger died four years later, a few weeks short of 100.
so is the head start the whole story - or is Munger just being modest about the other two reasons?

What's the point? The State will let them go, and they are no different from one another. There are millions of them, all the same.
Here are some better photos of the persons of interest we're trying to identify in last night's shooting on Marine Street.

Nons do this all over. They show up to a random party, make everyone uncomfortable with their anti-social and hostile behaviour, then either immediately escalate (if they have the numbers immediately) ir wait to return later to trash and loot the party and scene.

Historically the end result of total war was genocide of the losing males and older females or enslavement.
In the modern era the direct method is outlawed for various reasons so they choose the indirect more sophisticated method.

Germans are finding themselves outnumbered and even attacked in schools across the country.
Foreigners also admit to targeting want revenge for what was done to us."
When asked, two foreign girls smile as they describe Germans being systematically attacked for being White and German.

It really is crazy how they called the rape and pillaging of your nations "changing consumer habits" via forced replacement by savages because capable, altruistic people who build societies no longer fit the current business model
and no one was even hung for it
and no one was even hung for it
I see "changing consumer habits" are at it again.

This idea that the Empire was actually justified isn't new. It's been tossed around for decades before the prequels were ever released.
Lucas had to include scenes where the Empire did totally unjust immoral things just to ensure the audience would side with the Rebels.
The destruction of Alderaan was that for the original trilogy.
The culling of the younglings was that for the prequels.
It's what we call a "kill the dog" moment in writing. You've created a villain who isn't quite villainous enough, and any audience which appreciates nuance would see that. So you have to force-feed them a single scene where the somewhat reasonable antagonist does something irredeemably bad just to dismiss any complex analysis of the character.
It's a sign that either the writer has an agenda, or they're just not very good at writing.
