Great! And how does that help the average American?
Big Business is making even more money.
I stand by my statement; the US is doomed. The rich are continuing to get richer day by day, and less fortunate are treading water, trying to keep their heads above water.
BTW, Venezuela also has lots of oil, and the average citizen isnīt doing so good there, either.

As do Russia, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and Iran. What's your point?

Although American Imperialism/Hegemony is circling the drain.

You are oblivious to your German conditions.
German modern prosperity has largely been aided by the availability of cheap Russian gas. Now that cheap Russian gas will no longer be available. This makes Germany much less competitive.
And look what your German capitalists are doing...they are doubling down on their investments in China while trying to close VW plants in Germany.
Don't Stop Believing The Inexorable Rise of German FDI In China.
https://rhg.com/research/dont-stop-b...-fdi-in-china/
To a greater extent than ever before, EU investments in China are being driven by Germany and its carmakers. German FDI made up 57% of total EU investments in China in the first half of 2024, 62% in 2023, and a record 71% in 2022. This was driven by auto-related FDI, which has accounted for roughly half of all EU investment in China since 2022.

Got another fund raising text message yesterday and promptly deleted it. This one from NancyP P. Don't get me wrong, I'll not be voting for another Republican in this time/space contineum but if the party leadership doesn't get their shit together I'm not throwing good money after bad. I the daily newspaper days there was a thing called the Op-Ed page where you could if they deemed it worthy post what was on your mind. I'd like to give the DNC a piece of my mind but I guess it will be have to be in the form of an email and CC it to a lot of office holders. I wonder what the response, if any, will be be. I'll be surprised if I get more than a boilerplate form letter responce.

They will then know that your email address is real and share it with more fundraisers. During KH's bid for the WH, I used to get over twenty fundraising emails (nothing about policy, just give us the money), I was often tempted to reply "what are you going to do with the money. But I resisted. The fundraising in itself is big business and the money mostly goes to support the so called fund raising groups.
And Nancy P? Way past her prime and over rated. She was good as a Speaker but once stripped of power, just another seat warmer.
