That is a great map!
When do I get an M4, a humvee, a palette of cash, and watch your shameful retreat back to the blue areas?
Protip: Telling smart people who just watched 4 years of Trump and 4 years of Biden/Kamala they are dumbfúcks / deplorables / garbage / Nazis becasue they objectively looked at both candidates’ actions for 4 years and made a logical choice in their self-interests… well… you aren’t going to bother anyone.
You only clown yourself by thinking the extension of Biden/Kamala will be different.

chinabot must not have paid attention to the changes in California… It would have given him the sadz
“Why stop at 10%?”
Why stop at some number?
Because debt slaves don’t make for useful, productive citizens.
There is a cost to gains ratio somewhere that might be perfect, somewhere between slick Eddie’s blackmarket and a legitimate credit system. I don’t know if 10 percent is perfect or not, but it is better than what is going on now. Wealthy people aren’t paying exorbitant interest rates. There is a market for them, mostly with the young, indigent, and/or stupid.
“Why not make it 0%?”
Because credit markets are needed to fund large industry, for starters.
That edit window is really short…
just to add:

Without credit markets the economy collapses as businesses can’t get funding (some Islamic countries have a work around, but it’s different much like the one hour marriage is a work around prostitution).

Interest on capital is a very necessary aspect of capitalism.
What is the correct interest?
Unclear.
My first thought is… unlimited.
The government has no business getting involved in what people will pay to make more money… or be stupid.
(equal opportunity, not equal outcome)
The problem is not a cap on interest. The problem is that every other aspect of capitalism has been perverted into crony capitolism so the quick fix seems to be to artificially limit interest rates and other cosmetic nonsense.
But that is a manufactured problem with a manufactured solution… typical government.
(If you want to hate the government, try to start a business or build something on your own land.)
The system is designed for you to be a debt slave and a consumer.
Credit card interest rates are an issue for fools.
Smart people don’t need credit cards… or credit… for the most part…
…i have taken out calculated loans… but they made more money than they cost… which is how capitalism works.
I live where i live and i drive what i drive until i have enough cash to drive a better thing and live in a better place. I have upgraded faster than all the fools paying interest.
Kinda shocked where i am in life compared to the effort i put into it.
Don’t be stupid.
I give zero fúcks about people who worry about credit card interest rates.
They deserve what they bring upon themselves.
They fund my lifestyle.

I disagree with Bernie Sanders on principle; but credit card debt being capped will likely result in credit limits being revised so financial firms will try to invest elsewhere, so it will end up a net positive.

Will CCP China attack Norkistan over troops sent to Russia?
MAGA Commies? Advocating for price controls on credit card interest rates? It’s not a free market economy, is it? Talking about the free market. I see that the market interest rate in the US has decoupled from the Federal interest rate. The interest rate on US bonds is soaring, as US allies largely stay away from purchasing US debt. Next year, it will be fascinating what will happen when all the US allies put tariffs on US financial services in retaliation for flat US tariffs.
Whether one is in agreement with that court decision or not, not sure the argument that we were a communist country until 1978 holds water.

Korea Man doesn’t deserve downvotes for unpleasant but honest observations.
The Deep State is making moves to stick Trump with messier finances, a middle east with no good options, and “the president who lost Ukraine”.
Cutting government waste, coupled with eliminating rules designed to limit small business might have an immediate effect on the economy and national finances.
Trump looks like he is going to support Israel in the genocide of Palistinians. That is probably the best solution. Anything better to propose? No? Thought not. Bonus: can openly laugh when you hear, “Oy vey! But Holocaust…”
Trump can fulfill his campaign promise to end the war in Ukraine. “You are cut off. Call for a ceasefire now and offer Russia what they hold. Hope they don’t ask for what they want, but give it to them if they do. Otherwise, Russia will extend through Odessa to Transnestria by the end of 2025. Continuing or stopping the war will end with the same result. The difference will be in time, deaths, and the amount of reconstruction of society, just as ChickenHead said in 2022.”

Remember the shítshow the Deep State intends to leave Trump with?
New York Times: Biden Allows Ukraine to Strike Russia With Long-Range U.S. Missiles
Ukraine has invaded Russia. North Koreans are going to help Russians remove them. USA has authroized Ukraine to use American weapons to strike into Russian territory.
The action and response will be at least two rungs up the escalation ladder.

BREAKING: Senator Bernie Sanders announces he will work with Trump to cap the credit card interest rates at 10%
Kind of curious what others think of this.
I’m actually in favor of this, bigly.
Just two questions on that.
Why stop at 10%? Why not make it 0%?

Interest rates were capped at below 9 percent until 1978, following Marquette National Bank v. First of Omaha Service Corp.

Remeber the shítshow whoever is running America is going to leave Trump with?
Well…
https://edition.cnn.com/2024/11/19/europe/ukraine-russia-atacms-biden-strike-intl
If the link didn’t give it away, Ukraine just fired American made long-range missiles at a Russian military base.
This presumably required Americans to use American stuff and do American things to make it happen.
Hopefully, Ukranians aren’t all hung up on light and heat this winter.
Plus, any American military-types in Ukraine probably want to change hotels.
Putin is wise enough to suck up this madness until adults move into the White House.
