bro you need lead/copper/zinc etc to make bullets. where you going to get that when the world runs out?

But seriously you are pretty morbid fellow I am presenting you with a practical list of alternatives and your mind races to just kill people instead... You should talk to a guy named Hitler I heard he has been toying with the idea.



The price of zinc goes up the more scarce it becomes, people demand cheaper alternatives the market gives them alternatives. Or you think that civilization will grind to a halt and just die off? What a way to live with a cloud over your head.

Typically people who speak English as a first language know the application of “than” for comparative statements. For someone that is so arrogant I have higher expectations of literacy 🤷‍♂️

The article posted in here addresses the fact that Republicans want to abolish the IRS and eliminate national income taxes. This is consistent with their economic policies and precedent set by themselves. History speaks for itself how feudalism developed in Europe from a manorial system.

Unironically your chronic "detours" oh you made a spelling error only reveal how you are unwittingly programming yourself to only see a biased outcome.
Notice how in that post I made a typo "then" about my dogs and the last line has then used correctly but you failed to see that. In your infinite wisdom you deduced I must be a foreigner instead of maybe a common spelling error.
What if I was some other nationality? What does that have to do with anything? Or perhaps your mind wanted me to be a foreigner so that you could throw some cheap insult or worse yet take another detour further away from the train wreck of the topic you made?

Republicans don't want to abolish the IRS because of national income taxes they want to replace an ineffective spending of billions of dollars on hiring 87000 more agents to shake down small and medium sized businesses owner with assault rifles.
And you are simping for the tax man and big daddy government while knowing full well the rich don't pay income tax lol. So that's one lie

Secondly I suppose you landed on the conclusion that national consumption tax equates to feudalism just like you landed on the presumption of me being non native speaker on a single typo.
BTW feudalism utilised geld taxation in the form of land tax aka "protection money" just goes to show how little you know about subjects you attempted to discuss. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_in_medieval_England
Can you see the folly of your erroneous thought? And the lies you tell yourself and others? Or are you going to take another detour on my spelling?

You have been sufficiently clapped good day

I was just sarcastic but yeah anyway I'm sure usa has already enough bullets even if the production would stops instantly tomorrow.

The decline will be slow, over a few decades just like it is already the case for oil production.
They will print more money to give you the illusion of an economic growth but this will come at the price of a sick inflation especially regarding energy. What we see now is just the beginning of it, even tho the war with russia was a catalyzer for sure there.

I'd like to see the changes and improvements that you're talking about, but in fact it is getting worse year after year.

Like for instance, we banned use of CFC in 70's, and the ozone hole is expected to disappear in 2050, if nothing bad happens until that time.
This just shows the principe of inertia, in this case the efforts needs 80 years to be seen.
If I take oceans acidifcation related to phytoplancton's capacity of asborbing C02, or said differently, the inertia of the oceanic system, it takes even longer, like thousands of years before we see an improvment.
As for athmospheric C02, once it is there it stays for a good 1000-10000 years.

There are much others fields where not only we haven't been doing any improvments but we also don't know at all how to make thoses needed improvments because the problems aren't well known and identified.
For instance nobody can tell whats gonna be the next and inevitable pandemy due to humans interacting too much with nature, beside the fact it will come most likely once again, from China, or what's gonna be released by the permafrost if it comes to completely unfreeze.
The fact that you and most of the politics elites think the situation is handled despite the reality showing a complete different story is in fact very alarming.

What you are talking about is amorphous problems and the next boogeyman that may or not arrive. Kids today are chasing the next bitcoin or rage typing on internet forums. While the boomers are retiring and cashing in that pension which is supposed to be serviced by younger generations. The generous left loves putting us into debt through lock downs and massive borrowing. These and many other factors are a net drag on society. We have some bright optimistic and active members who are working on solutions so it would be great if some people just shut their pie hole for one second and add some productivity or at least get out of the way.

and literally no one is surprised. republicans are so transparently corrupt, it's almost funny to see their supporters here act like it's the party of the working class, lol. it couldn't be further from the truth...

taxes are theft

IRS are a bunch of criminals. remember lois lerner doing dirty work for obozo. when she got caught she said "i didnt do anything wrong" then took full retirement to protect it.

Too bad their going after people that make under 25k. Fender talking point crashed like a bitch.

let's just for a second imagine the far-right crowd, that suddenly turned into staunch "libertarians" as soon as they discovered that their cult leader and his corrupt corporate buddies are all serial tax dodgers and frauds, were principled about their "taxes are theft" messaging.

ok, that's your new silly conviction now - but you have to realise that taxes are still the law, and rich people should - as long as that is the case - pay their fair share as well, not just poor and middle class people, right? so just screaming "taxes are theft" is not the clever pivot you think it is, if it's only the rich that can avoid them. and house republicans just made sure this exactly THAT happens. they didn't do away with taxes, they didn't abolish the IRS, they only made sure that the IRS won't go after THEM, lol.
