No. I could not find anything about a leftist who shot police officers in Fargo. Could you post a link?

Biden Harris Administration Provides $3.8 Million in Assistance for Hawaii Residents in Wake of Devastating Wildfires
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA); August 17, 2023.
https://www.fema.gov/press-...nce-hawaii-residents
| quote | WASHINGTON -- One week since President Biden declared a major disaster declaration for the state of Hawaii in the wake of the devastating wildfires, the Biden-Harris Administration and voluntary agencies provided survivors with immediate needs such as food, water and shelter and approved millions of dollars in disaster relief. To date, FEMA has approved more than $3.8 million in assistance to 1,640 households including more than $1.57 million in initial rental assistance.
Yesterday, President Biden made additional disaster funding available to the state of Hawaii. This unlocks the federal government’s ability to cover all eligible expenses for debris removal and emergency protective measures in Maui County and assistance for emergency protective measures for Hawaii County for 30 days of the governor’s choosing within the first 120 days of the disaster.
FEMA also opened a joint Disaster Recovery Center yesterday at the University of Hawaii Maui College, located at 310 W. Ka’ahumanu Avenue, Kahului, Hawaii. Survivors can speak to FEMA specialists, get assistance registering for disaster assistance, get in touch with voluntary organizations and have access to other federal and state resources from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. HST seven days a week.
Agencies including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response, the U.S. Small Business Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are all working in tandem to help support the communities impacted by this tragedy. |

There's more after that. (Use the link.)
It's my opinion that this cartoon is essentially a bald-faced lie about the Biden administration's response to the deadly Maui fires that Wichita has copied and pasted from one of his favored social media platforms, with no more thought or knowledge on his (Wichita's) part, than a male fruit fly uses to mate with a female fruit fly.
Don't read this as a slur against fruit flies, however; scientists are reporting that fruit flies have more complex brain functions than we might (naively) imagine.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 08-18-2023).]

That is what backs the debt of the United States as well as our currency.
What determins the price of gold. If it is such a perfect pure standard then why does the price of gold fluctuate so much over time?

This is the current state of the United States, metaphorically explained as a human being:
A non-binary individual that works theys ass off doing multiple jobs, but with a heroine addiction, unshaven and unshowered for months, suffering from mental illness, and massively in debt with their home and car financially underwater, with over 250k in credit card bills and massive student loan debt.
Would anyone think this individual would be a responsible long-term business partner, based solely on the fact that they were reliable in the past?
GDP is great... but that is not the reason why the United States is economically powerful. The ONLY REASON why our national debt has yet to cause us to completely collapse, is because the United States is officially the "World Reserve Currency."
In the mid 1940s... nearing the end of WW2 if not immediately following it, the United States was the only industrialized nation that actively remained and that wasn't completely bombed to **** . There's a lot to this, and this is actually the reason why so many people look to the 50s and question why people could afford new houses, new cars, etc... but they can't now. They don't actually look at history and understand WHY things were the way they were. In the aftermath of WW2, every industrialized nation was essentially in ruins. The whole of Europe was destroyed. South America didn't really become fully industrialized for another 10 years, nor did most of Asia. Japan, which was industrialized, was also laid to waste.
Effectively, everything was being manufactured in the United States because nothing could be produced elsewhere, so money was flooding into the United States.
At this time, some 700 nations came together to declare the US Dollar the World Reserve Currency. We were viewed singularly as the most powerful nation in the world, and effectively the country that would be the most stable.
Our DEBT to GDP ratio was very high following WW2, but with the fact that the United States became so independently wealthy, we were able to pay down that debt and reduce our debt to GDP. There exists NOTHING like that today. Today, the entire world can build everything we do cheaper and faster due to less regulations (whether we agree with them or not is irrelevant).
The only thing the United States has going for it, is that we are still research leaders in some areas... but are quickly being overtaken. China for example, produces nearly 3x the number of research papers (on just AI) than the United States does. Incidentally, almost anything we do invent / create... it has to be manufactured overseas to make it cost effective, and the intellectual property is immediately stolen.
We are essentially accruing massive debt, with no long-term prospects for the kind of economic success we saw in WW2. Despite this, we continue to focus more and more on welfare entitlements, despite the fact that the country seems to be getting worse for it, with exponentially more people in homeless camps, with millions of dirt-poor illegals coming in every year.
There an actively number of countries who, under the leadership of China, are seeking to convert the world reserve currency to something OTHER than the US Dollar. While I agree with you (what you're thinking now) is that China is not a stable economy... yes... totally agree. But if we continue to piss off our allies, like Europe... most of whom don't like us (regardless of who the president is), we're on very very shaky ground.
I cannot emphasize how dangerous this is right now. Even if you or others believed we could return to an era of 75% tax rates for the wealthy... the only reason that worked in the 50s is because, yet again... the other nations were still rebuilding after WW2 and the United States essentially "acquired" the production for the entire world from the 1940s to the mid / late 1950s.
We are really, really screwed, and people need to understand this. Modern Monetary Theory is not actually a theory, it's an explanation about we've been able to spend like drunken sailors and not collapse yet.
