I think for boomer liberals, their memory is pretty hazy and the 60s was the end of racism. "We did it guys! Everyone can sit on the same bus seats."

I think the nostalgia is also in the 2nd tv series as well. The Addams Family was the original series from the 60s.

It's very common for reactionaries to seek to rewind the clock to a "better" time because the present has all these modernization problems. For the boomers, the 60s were better than today. For Gen X, maybe the 80s were better.

Both the 2nd and 3rd tv series are aimed at younger viewers or the young-at-heart: trying to convey the joy of youth.

We recently had Australian mainstream media talking about a slum in Australian iron ore sales to China and calling it sign of China's property crash.

I wonder now if iron ore is trading within BRICS in a similar way and Australia is getting the cold shoulder for being the US puppet it is.

If the judge has no control, how did he buy and sell the stocks? He (or his wife) was "advised" completely independent of the case he's on?

Pelosi's husband makes a lot of stock moves too.

"No biggie guys! It was my stupid wife just making money accidentally!"

I agree the stock market is a big influence of the economy. Stocks are massively overvalued. There's not enough available cash in existence if there's big sell off on a major stock like Intel. Hence the need to print money. If the Fed didn't intervene, that illusion of stocks actually having cash value would vaporise.

You're a federal judge ruling on a Boeing case?

None of those implications are bad UNLESS you are a manufacturer of those goods in the West. Or investing in those manufacturers. This is where WSJ falls flat on its ass.

The rest of the economy is a consumer of those cheaper goods. So the discounts on those goods makes the wallet go further. That's good for consumption. Consumers might even throw more money towards those dogshit services that economists are now in love with.

Meanwhile our media and leaders are predicting war with China in 2027...

So how the fuck are submarines planned to arrive decades later going to be relevant? Shrug
