I apologize. I should have used the term “sex-slaves.” I pictured the video where billionaire Trump tells a joke to billionaire Jeffrey Epstein and has him in stitches. ---

> [@Left\_Hand\_of\_Dorkness](#): > > Perhaps Sam wasn’t one of the people predicting a market meltdown in response to ACA, too. > > Rich people don’t sulk, taking their balls and going home. They don’t John Galt, for the simple reason that they can’t. They need use plebes to make money off of. They sulk, and then they maximize their profit under the new rules, just like always. True. “Right sizing” the workforce is often their first measure of profit maximization strategies. I’m not suggesting nothing can or should be done. I’m saying it will inevitably come at a cost to the middle and working class. It always does. Which goes back to higher taxes on the wealthy and large corporations. Now will that lead to a market melt down? If the economy is set for a “correction” every conservative will put the blame on the higher tax policies of the new Dem administration, not the ‘sulky profit maximizing’ measures of the wealthy corporations and investors. ---

> [@DesertDog](#): > > Except if the middle class is destroyed, who’s going to buy all those auto/refrigerators/whatever the robots are producing?.. A few years after World War II, Edsel Ford was showing UAW Chief Walter Reuther around a brand new automobile factory filled with automated workers. Ford: “How you going to make these robots pay their union dues, Walter?” Reuther: “How are you going to get them to buy your cars?” ---

I made the mistake of reading some of the MAGAts’ comments on his tweets about let the Turks/Kurds fight and how he is using economic force to bring world peace- my god, people are posting supportive, “love you Mr president” fawning insanity. Why did I do that? ---

> [@CairoCarol](#): > > I support your statement as a whole, but could we leave out the generalizing epithet of women as “whores”? I’ve personally known several “whores,” both Filipina and Indonesian, and while there were opportunistic, shallow individuals among them, others were trying to escape abuse or provide for impoverished families. > > (Sorry if I seem overly PC. It’s just that your characterization of women who partner with foreign men for economic reasons is so at odds with the reality I know that I can’t help myself. I firmly believe you meant no offense.) No not overly PC. And such situations need to combated at the root of the problem. With that said, think about Trumps ‘Modeling agency’, Epstein’s party’s, and who attended them, and… Melania Trump. She may just be a gold digger, or is there more there? What, ever happened to all of Epstein’s videos I wonder? After Epstein’s Manhattan mansion was raided, it took 5 weeks before his island was raided. Five weeks. Hmmmm… > [@from Wiki](#): > > Epstein installed concealed cameras in numerous places on his properties to allegedly record sexual activity with underage girls by prominent people for criminal purposes, such as blackmail.[77] Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s close companion, told a friend that Epstein’s private island in the Virgin Islands was completely wired for video and the friend believed that Maxwell and Epstein were videotaping everyone on the island as an insurance policy.[78] It was also reported that Epstein’s mansion in New York was wired extensively with a video surveillance system Sort of odd that. No news? Or a complete cover up? ---

Epstein had a decent IQ, from most accounts; he would have made sure that heads of major corporations with an influence on news–not just the networks and newspapers themselves, but also the investors in same–would have been compromised. Politicians too, of course. Whoever is holding onto that evidence (William Barr at a guess) has no incentive to give up the leverage it provides by releasing it publicly. And the major journalistic outfits will cooperate by making sure no enterprising reporters try to establish the facts of what happened to that evidence. ---
