Sometimes we forget how priviliged we are, these days.

Dear Leader has now got a gold plated statue. Will I live to see it torn down by gleeful rioters? "It’s known as “Don Colossus.” At 15 feet tall, the statue of President Trump, mounted on its 7,000-pound pedestal, is about the height of a two-story building — a giant effigy cast in bronze and finished with a thick layer of gold leaf. For more than a year, the golden statue has been at the center of one of the stranger moneymaking ventures of the Trump era. A group of cryptocurrency investors paid $300,000 to have a sculptor create it as a tribute to Mr. Trump, an outspoken crypto proponent. Then they used it to promote a memecoin called $PATRIOT." I thought he might use it to replace the ageing, ungilded and now irrelevent Statue of Liberty.

Time to liquidate my fiat currence. The BWS has a great exchange rate at the moment. When the big crash comes, at least I'll have good wine.

That's the billionaires, that hold 90% of world wealth. You should know that, Nev.

The global debt looks like a top heavy inverted pyramid. What will make it topple?

I never has enough Fiat currency to buy a new house, so I made do with a Renno

That's ok. He plans to put a training wheel on one side.

I think that muskovite no longer needs to sell cars to stay rich. So his interests are not focused on EVs. He clearly is focused on saving the human race. Particularly to save the human race from substandard humans. (It used to be called eugenics, up until some German guy gave that game a bad name)

I guess the old motors had bigger pistons, longer stroke, and low compression. The T model ford was 4 litre - one litre per cylinder, and it was hand crank started (originally).

I never managed to get lost when finding my way around. Braille always worked for me. A good guide might help you if you get lost. This is a mature one, you can tell by the wrinkles.

I just love the concept. Can you imaging kick starting that? Would it sound like the one lungers at the vintage stationary engine fair?

Not for me- I eat my peas with honey... I've done it all my life... It makes the peas taste funny... But it keep them on my knife.

Nah... That was the USA departure from Afghanistan.

BUT, you might understand a bit about normalisation of paedophillia 😞 'Tis but a weak excuse for trying to appear underage.

But a steak knife is.... (I'll get my hat)

Interesting possibility of conflict of interest.... https://govfacts.org/accountability-ethics/the-2-billion-year-how-the-presidency-contributed-to-trump-profits-in-2025/ The Dear Leader's family seems to be doing rather well.

Nev, a horse's arse is obvious if you are standing downwind. But isn't a horse's ass the horse's unwanted child?

I don't care if nobody gets the connection. Just listen to the words. Arlo Guthrie is surely missed in these achangin times I might have just consumed a little of Wolfie but I like this.....

My Gripe of the day.... Our Social Australia Forum does NOT have a "Groan" emoticon. There are times.....

Oh, but that only happens in Roosia and chaynah! (& maybe Faux Newts) Surely NOT our patriotic merde media?

Russian Oil - https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/9/how-india-plans-to-continue-buying-russian-oil-despite-sanctions Gold (dated, last year):- https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-21/russian-precious-metals-sales-to-china-hit-1-billion

Further Russian economy trends... I read that Russia sold 25 tons of gold to china. And also have been selling bargain oil to India for $22 per barrel. I'll go back and find the sources of this, in case it is propaganda

I've discovered the economic growth area of Russia. It's.... Media ! "Kremlin spent 1.9 billion USD on propaganda last year, the budget exceeded by a quarter" Since any allegation is false unless there is a cite... https://www.debunk.org/kremlin-spent-1-9-billion-usd-on-propaganda-last-year-the-budget-exceeded-by-a-quarter

If you are "mindfull" it's best to stop riding. It's a dangerous condition. I also think "mindempty" is dangerous.
