FIRST, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE YOUTH (POOR PETALS — THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW WE PUSHED THROUGH MOUNTAINS OF SHIT INCLUDING WORLD WARS, AS TODAY'S YOUTH COULD THINK THAT POPPIES WERE ALL THERE WAS ABOUT WARS) WERE FLOCKING TO KAMALA (HARRIS) BUT PERCEPTIONS WERE MIXED:

‘It is so scary being in America right now’: This South Carolina woman sees no future for young people in the US — is stressed about sky-high costs and is thinking about moving. Is she right?

When you’re in your 20s, it can feel like everything in your life is in a constant state of transition: school, careers, relationships, friendships, moving out.

But for the current crop of young people coming of age in America, they aren’t just going through the usual growing pains associated with their age demo, but economic despair in addition to it all.

Billionaire BlackRock CEO: ‘Doesn’t Matter’ Who Wins US Election; Trump & Kamala Harris Benefit Wall Street

By Ben Norton / Geopolitical Economy Report

The billionaire CEO of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has said it “really doesn’t matter” who wins the US presidential election, because both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will be good for Wall Street.

“I’m tired of hearing this is the biggest election in your lifetime. The reality is over time it doesn’t matter”, said BlackRock chief Larry Fink at an October 21 conference hosted by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, according to the Financial Times.

“It really doesn’t matter”, Fink reiterated. He revealed that, at BlackRock, “we work with both administrations and are having conversations with both candidates”.

BlackRock has $11.5 trillion assets under management, making it the biggest investment company on Earth.

BlackRock has a revolving door with the US government. Veterans of the asset manager have held high-level roles in the Joe Biden administration’s Treasury. A BlackRock executive has likewise served as a prominent economic advisor for Kamala Harris.

Trump’s Treasury, on the other hand, was run by Goldman Sachs’ former chief information officer, Steven Mnuchin, who made a fortune as a hedge fund manager.

Survey: Nearly half of small businesses say they won’t survive second Biden term

By Bethany Blankley | The Center Square contributor Jul 12, 2024

(The Center Square) – Nearly half of 80,000 small businesses surveyed say they won’t survive the current economic climate, ongoing inflation or another four years of Biden administration policies, according to the survey conducted by RedBalloon and Public Square.

Their May Freedom Economy Index found that small businesses “remain in survival mode,” with 40% delaying paying bills to manage cash flow and 70 percent putting staffing plans on hold, neither hiring nor reducing staff, “the highest reading … over the past year,” the report states.

Among those surveyed, 64% said the U.S. is headed toward stagflation, when inflation continues to climb and the economic rate slows.

ETC.... WILL THINGS IMPROVE UNDER DONALD (TRUMP)? SOME LEFTWING PUNDITS SAID THAT THINGS WERE TURNING AROUND IN THE LAST MONTH OF BIDENOMICS... BUT APART FROM A FEW IMPROVEMENTS, THE GENERAL OUTLOOK WAS GRIM... PEOPLE WERE SCARED ENOUGH TO GIVE THE OTHER FELLOW A GO, EVEN IF THEY DON'T REMEMBER 2016-2020... SOME PUNDITS SAY THAT DONALD (TRUMP)'S POLICIES WILL COST THE EARTH, WHILE KAMALA (HARRIS)'S WOULD ONLY HAVE COST THE PLANET....

MEANWHILE IN RUSSIA:

A Russian school of thought that has focused on humankind's relationship with space could offer solutions to current global crises, a panel of experts agreed during an event at this week’s ‘Inventing the Future’ forum in Moscow.

At the panel discussion on Monday, historians and futurists considered how Russian Cosmism and one of its main concepts, uniting for a common task, could help influence decisions internationally to shape a fairer future.

“Modern society is going through horrific changes, facing crises and looking for solutions. One such solution lies in the ideas of Russian Cosmism,” philosopher Tatiana Batyr said.

Russian Cosmism is a school of thought that gained prominence in the early 20th century, inspired by the new wonders of space technology and exploration. It sought to create a united humanity worthy of governing the universe. Russian aerospace engineer Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, a founding father of modern rocket science, was among its most prominent thinkers.

SO, WHERE TO FOR THE "CONVICTED FELON" NOW IN CHARGE OF THE WHITE HOUSE?

BETWEEN NOW AND THE 20TH OF JANUARY 2025, JOE BIDEN, AS THE SCREW LOOSE AS HE IS, COULD STILL DO A LOT OF DAMAGE TO THE CAPER... OR FOR WHATEVER REASON HIT THE JACKPOT WITH SOME GOOD IDEA LIKE SHUTTING DOWN WEAPON DELIVERIES TO YUCKRAINE AND ISRAHELL, AGAINST THE SCREAMING HORDES OF WARMONGERS....

PERCEPTIONS AND POLARISATIONS ARE SO INGRAINED, IT WOULD TAKE SUPERMAN TO FIX THIS MESS. OR A CLEVER SHIFT OF UNDERSTANDING — WHICH WOULD DEMAND A POLAR SHIFT FROM THE LEGACY MEDIA.... AND SUDDENLY THE FOG LIFTS UP...

SIMPLIFIED QUESTIONS FOR THE AMERICAN POLITICAL CIRCUS-CLOWN IN CHARGE:

INTERNATIONAL ISSUES:

UKRAINE — SEND MORE WEAPONS AND START WW3?

ISRAEL — SEND MORE WEAPONS AND KILL MORE WOMEN AND CHILDREN?

BRICS — NEVER HEARD OF IT?....

GLOBAL WARMING? WHERE?

EUROPE — CONTAINED VASSAL FULL OF LEADING IDIOTS?

LOCAL ISSUES:

EMPLOYMENT — CHINA IS THE ENEMY — RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA... ?????

WAGES — WORKERS ARE THE ENEMY ?????

WOKISM vs CONSERVATISM — GENITALISM FUN vs MARRIAGE IN SICKNESS AND HEALTH ????

FREEDOM OF SPEECH — EXCEPT IF IT'S CONTRARY TO "MY" VIEWS ?????

PURPOSE:

CONQUER THE WORLD?

COOPERATE WITH THE WORLD?

BECOME A HONEST DEALER IN A MULTIPOLAR WORLD?

AND, IN ORDER TO SEE BRICS FOR WHAT IT IS:

MAKE A DEAL PRONTO BEFORE THE SHIT HITS THE FAN:

NO NATO IN "UKRAINE" (WHAT'S LEFT OF IT)

THE DONBASS REPUBLICS ARE NOW BACK IN THE RUSSIAN FOLD — AS THEY USED TO BE PRIOR 1922. THE RUSSIANS WON'T ABANDON THESE AGAIN.

THESE WILL ALSO INCLUDE ODESSA, KHERSON AND KHARKIV.....

CRIMEA IS RUSSIAN — AS IT USED TO BE PRIOR 1954

TRANSNISTRIA WILL BE PART OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.

A MEMORANDUM OF NON-AGGRESSION BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE USA.

EASY.

THE WEST KNOWS IT.

YOURDEMOCRACY.NET RECORDS HISTORY AS IT SHOULD BE — NOT AS THE WESTERN MEDIA WRONGLY REPORTS IT.
