1. Where were there thousands of people in the streets in 2008? Be specific. It was not “all I could find”. It took 10 seconds to find. To find actual reported articles 8 years later I’d probably have to use Lexus or something else better than google and I’m not going to do that unless you have some actual specifics because I don’t remotely remember people in the streets.
2. Paul Krugman writes on the editorial pages. He or any other opinion piece or personality has nothing to do with what I am explaining to you about how large, world renowned papers like the NYT and WSJ work. ZH is clickbait. Nothing more, nothing less.
3. The Fed raised and then lowered as the economic cycle dictated, not bc of the stock market. Rates are irrelevant to lending standards all things being equal. The loosening (and outright fraud within the system) of lending standards was the primary cause of the housing bubble.
4. You don’t get it. You’re putting the cart WAY before the horse and you seem to think it’s OK for foreign countries to steal information from our government.
5. “Those who know what was going on”? You I suppose?
6. Prove that corps had more say that pols.
This is more or less what happened:
“Only the representatives of “We the People” should be involved, with input from corporate, environmental, and labor groups who are all given the same consideration.”
ISDS already exists in other trade agreements; I’ve already explained this to you. It’s not some boogie man that allows corps to just sue whomever they like for whatever they like.
7. You still don’t understand what happened with that bill.
8. I “oppose” sloppy, conspiracy based “reporting” that suggests Obama signed a anti free speech bill into law under the cover of Xmas.
You’re going to need to start presenting evidence for your claims if you’d like to continue. Actual, verifiable evidence. Not “I was there” or “I know” or “I was told”. That’s not how a “debate” works if you think we are debating.
