The issue isn’t so much the explaining, as whether the person doing the listening has the skill sets etc. to understand. Not to mention sometimes the person doing the explaining needs to confirm some information to make sure they are explaining the correct thing. Sometimes people don’t ask the right question, especially if it’s a multi step problem. I still hate it though.

I have been converting to another currency, every penny I can
Yikes, ok I can’t say im surprised, but where did you hear that?
Yes they are. They are working exactly as the people in charge want them to. They want a weak dollar and low interest rates because it allows them to get smaller debt payments, and a weak dollar/inflation makes the numbers go up. It’s a risky game though, because demonetization could mean a worthless dollar and a destroyed economy. But again, I wouldn’t be surprised if they want that to because then they can strip it all for parts and sell it off to our enemies. As long as they get richer they don’t give a shit. They will just convert any currency to whatever new safe haven and continue on.

9·7 days agoNoem didn’t do a single thing Trump wouldn’t have encouraged. Fetterman voted for all of it. It’s all lame excuses and scape goating like they always do.

News@lemmy.world•Walz calls on federal agents to leave state after second deadly shooting
152·10 days agoIt seems likely to me he/ dems know this will tip off a civil war and they are still hoping to find a different way of dealing with this. Something less bloody. No decent person wants to make the choice that is the final straw before thousands die. Also, even if they recognize it to be inevitable it is necessary to wait until the masses are aligned. The way you-and all the rest of us- are getting fed up is a sign the fruit is almost ripe.
Or they could just be compromised cowards. It doesn’t really matter actually, at some point the tide will flood the city streets and then someone will show up to lead.

politics @lemmy.world•Large protests spread across US after Alex Pretti fatally shot by federal agents
9·10 days agoThe past is not always an indication of the future. Things change and the pressure is building. Germans didn’t resist like this, did they? Hong kong did, but they were only one city in a country that already had an iron grip. So far they are using a mix from several previous fascist takeover playbooks. They will keep doing so. Read up now while the internet still has information on what works. Aquire a traffic cone and umbrella to keep handy, keep sunglasses or safety goggles and a whistle handy. Get your own bear spray with a holster. Connect with people.

News@lemmy.world•Powell put out a statement about fed independence and presidential pressure amongst DOJ indictment
2·22 days agoI have often thought about this too. 6m jews and I think a similar number of various other vulnerable people died in Germany between '33 and’45, but how many normal people who were in the vicinity not participating but just trying to survive and keep their kids alive were there? A large percentage of them lived somewhat normal lives considering it grew to be a war zone, and if they didn’t like what was happening they just had to keep quiet. The Nazis couldn’t kill or imprison everyone, they still wanted/ needed people to serve them, and for that it was enough if you just didn’t fight back. Most everyone I love is planning to stay and survive and resist. One said they will join ICE and throw sand in the gears. Another said they will keep their heads down. Both have kids, and are people who are being pretty realistic with what is happening. Im getting my family out while I still can and I wish they would too but I know it’s not how things work.

7·1 month agoThey are preparing to sell off the nuclear power generators out of our battle ships and subs to a private firm to power data centers. Those data centers will likely have huge government contracts to process information about us and manipulate the information we have access to, paid courtesy of our tax dollars. In the meantime drumpft is trying to replace those ships with new ones branded with his name on them, which isn’t just a vanity thing, it’s also about royalties. The grift is never ending.

121·1 month agoThis is more like a teen who is working towards independence. You may just be a troll, but I will elaborate a tiny bit. Surely you understand a country needs infrastructure, trade relationships and something to trade, and enough population, structure and industry to support these endeavors. Greenland is still developing these necessities. Like a parent Denmark is supporting and protecting teen Greenland while this process continues.

Seriously, don’t let your people turn fascist too
