Normally I'd say there was nothing wrong with that, but Piggy being Piggy, there is something very wrong with that

I have laid out realistic and obvious issues with the way Piggy is implementing this program.

You have not and cannot refute our counter these points

Your ass is jealous of the amount of ---- that comes out of your mind

he's actually a lot like the most evil character in the greatest story ever told:

Piggy is like Sauron?

So, that is your counterargument?

You have nothing

Typical

In 2024, more than 295 million people across 53 countries and territories experienced acute levels of hunger, according to the Global Report on Food Crises published via the Food and Agriculture Organization.

45 million people added to that level is about 15%

Global organizations estimate that approximately 9 million people die each year from hunger and hunger-related diseases.

That means around 1,350,000 additional deaths in 2027 are to be expected.

These deaths are pretty much unavoidable as the harvests that would feed them are already ------

Yes, global disruptions to fertilizer supplies stemming from the conflict in the Persian Gulf and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz have raised serious warnings of acute food insecurity and potential famine risks in vulnerable regions.

Key Factors Driving the Crisis

Chokepoint Disruption: Roughly one-third to 30% of globally traded maritime fertilizer"along with essential feedstocks like sulfur and ammonia"normally passes through the Strait of Hormuz.
Spiking Prices and Reduced Outputs: With shipping blocked or severely restricted by the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, international urea and DAP (Diammonium Phosphate) prices surged sharply, forcing fertilizer plants in regions like India, Algeria, and Slovakia to cut back production.
Impact on Harvests: As farmers across Africa, Asia, and parts of South America face soaring costs or a lack of inputs for planting cycles, reduced fertilizer application is projected to drive down crop yields.

Who is Most at Risk?

Acute Hunger Numbers: The World Food Programme (WFP) and the United Nations (UN) warn that prolonged shortages could push 45 million or more additional people into acute hunger or starvation, compounding the total number facing severe food insecurity globally.
Import-Dependent Nations: Nations in Sub-Saharan Africa (such as Uganda, Zambia, and Malawi) and parts of South Asia that heavily rely on imported Gulf fertilizers and tight domestic budgets are the most exposed to harvest failures and soaring staple food prices.
Timeline: International agencies note that the most severe impacts on global grain harvests and food supplies are expected to crystallize through late 2026 and into 2027 as regional planting campaigns feel the full deficit of missed fertilizer inputs.

The Stock Market is just the flash on our economy.

the critical structural component of our economy are long term bonds.

These Treasury Bond are what permits our nation to, well, exist. or at a minimum, operate

Iran's control on the oil market attacks that foundation. Piggy is throwing stop gap measures at it=insisting the straits are open, when they aren't, prioritizing that traffic that does pass through to be crude oil and not gas or aviation fuel or critically fertilizers, strong arming Europe to tap their reserves, buying fuel from Russia (which ends up having the effect of the US funding the war against us), tapping our reserves to critical levels, contemplating an export ban

All of this is to keep the fuel price from getting out of control, because that would have massive ramifications throughout the supply chain-it all runs on oil.

But

Winter is Coming

20% increase in heating costs this winter

Great!

This problem isn't going away

And that doesn't even BEGIN to touch on the coming famine

If it's such a money maker for the wealthy, surely you could profit to a lesser extent. What is stopping you from donating to the fund, don't you want to get make a few bucks too?

I wouldn't put my money anywhere near this scheme. But please you go right ahead

Christ, you're stupid

1. Could cause conflict of interest
2. Could raise ethical concerns
3. Artificially inflates stocks that could impact broader economy
4. Could result in manipulation of local elections

Do you understand what a conflict of interest is? Nope?
Do you have ethics? Nope?
Do you understand how the Great Recession happened? Nope?
Do you WANT some Woke Corporation buying your local elections and putting school board members on the Board of Ed who will force every teacher to use preferred genders? Nope?

The Great Recession happened because a bunch of worthless stocks were inflated until their inflated value could no longer be hidden and then collapse

What will happen when multiple big corporations "donate" a whole bunch of inflated valued stocks and the market drops out of them and when the 5-year period ends and POOF collapse.

------- morons never learn and the same game is played on then

this time it will be all the poor and middle-class kids

Of course, the government will inevitably bail the kids out-can't allow kids to lose all of their investments, with the side benefit of reinflating the ----- stocks

These are just the OBVIOUS problems with how Piggy is implementing this program

Not the way Piggy is implementing it, dumbass

Don't you even read -----

The owners of these accounts are under 18, they can't vote legally. Not that legal voting matters to Democrats, Marxists, et al.

Here is a fact you might not be aware of.

kids have parents who can vote

Its funny how you can always find the whores

The more I think about this the worse of an idea it becomes

Think of the abuse this will result in. Think of the amount of money this will pour into elections

You think corporations won't dump millions, if not billions into local elections?

You think the amount of money dumped into commercials is a problem?

Think about, say the big tech companies. They will identify key races for say election of representatives who support putting data centers in a district or even the districts where they want the data centers themselves. They will dump billions into districts to influence the vote. "Vote for us and our data centers and we will give your kid $1,000." For you magat types consider if it is some "woke" company doing the same thing

This is election interference on steroids

The implications are horrifying

I wonder if you are aware of the stupidity tax that you pay?

troll gonna troll

what a ------ human being jeff is

Let me make this perfectly clear

I hate magat scum

I hate them because of what I witnessed with my own eyes on January 6, 2021

They tried to overthrow my country

That is unforgiveable

I will never forgive them nor will I ever forget

Then 4 years later they elected the man who tried to overthrow our country

I hate them for inflicting him on me and my loved ones

I hate them for the harm and danger they are causing to me and my loved ones

They are stripping them of their rights

They are making them live in fear

They are destroying their economic futures

They started a war of aggression that will permanently harm our national security and economic wellbeing.

Piggy has single handedly destroyed my faith in humanity

The trauma he inflicts on a daily basis is real

Fuek them

I remind people Biden intentionally gave the majority of investment and funding (IRA, CHIPS act, Infrastructure) to red areas of this country.

They voted Piggy into power who dismantled and reversed those investments.

President Joe Biden's policies toward red states (Republican-led or Republican-voting states) have involved a paradox: while his major legislative packages passed largely without Republican votes, the resulting federal investments have disproportionately flowed into red states and rural or exurban Republican districts. At the same time, the administration frequently clashed with red-state governors on cultural, health, and regulatory issues.

Major Legislative Investments in Red States

Despite stiff opposition from GOP lawmakers, flagship legislative achievements of the Biden administration directed massive funding and private-sector capital into red states:
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and CHIPS and Science Act: According to analysis by Brookings Metro, roughly 73% of announced private strategic sector investments (clean tech, semiconductors, and biomanufacturing) landed in counties that voted for Donald Trump, driven by lower land costs, availability, and business-friendly environments.
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law: Pumped hundreds of billions into infrastructure projects nationwide, with Axios reporting that over half a trillion dollars in jobs and infrastructure campaigns reached Republican and swing states, even as local GOP representatives who voted against the bills regularly attended groundbreakings.

Piggy has undone a good amount of that

---- em, stop investing in them let them starve

No one is forcing them to accept religion

No one is forcing them to accept right wing politics

No one is forcing them to hate minorities and LGBTQ people

No one is forcing them to support policies that are against their interests

No one is forcing them to live in ignorance driving away the best and brightest

Stop infantilizing them, they chose this.

We are not talking a system designed to impoverish them, a system designed to keep them down. We are not talking about people who have lived for generations under laws designed to keep them poor and uneducated

They are the privileged-white christian Americans

The system is designed around their interests

They get what they deserve

Answer me this

Why should I have any compassion for these people when compassion lead us to this point?

I was all ready to be offended! :O)

Its called impoundment
Already illegal
Piggy doesn't care

Let's be clear

Iran is winning this war decisively.

The war against Iran cannot be won.

Because there is nothing to win

You cannot force your will upon a people when your stated goal is genocide and annihilation.

That leaves only endless war.
