However, I am not too sure why you are concerned and appear to care about the success of America, considering that your own country is failing significantlyhttps://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/happiest-countries-in-the-world
Your narrative of small surcharges on Canadian and Mexican goods causing this is a terrible take.Now try responding to what I actually said, not what you're imagining I did.
Here is NY Post to set you straight
Wall Street is puking big-time, and the Sell buttons are working overtime whenever the word “tariff” passes from Donald Trump’s lips
This situation will likely correct itselfWell, maybe. But the recent drop IS caused by Trump shouting TARIFF every 5 minutes and the fact that no-one knows what he's going to do next, least of all him.

And did you see how much it gained in the previous two years prior to that?And who was president when that was going on?
It's called a correction.And what a coincidence that it happened just as Trump started flailing around shouting “TARIF” at everyone.
8.5% in the last month.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gdwgjkk1no
It’s almost like the economy is being run by someone who has had multiple failed businesses
Only a retart would doom about the stock market dropping a few percent.
Remember what I was telling everyone here some three years ago: for a real pandemic you need a huge volcanic eruption
which is exactly what happened on October 12, 1918 (the largest eruption of the century, Katla). It was the dust from comet Halley (1910) which caused the influenza pandemic.Citation needed. And you seem to have skilled the "correlation does not imply causation" lesson in science class.
This was filmed in Kiev, just last night:And what's going on in Ukraine right now which could offer a different explanation for what that is? Did you even look at the text? I did, and used Google to translate. It says:
Take a look at the comments, there were other eyewitnesses who were watching the Moon moving faster than usual.Comments by random people on the internet? Well, there's no way that can be inaccurate then.
Do you think that the reluctance to use such weapons around the world since then is only related to the repercussions, or do you think that other variables, such as mutual deterrence, also play a part?I'd suggest those are more-or-less the same thing. Anyone who dropped a nuke would immediately be the "bad guy" and if it was on a country which either had nuclear capabilities or is ally with one it would almost certainly lead to a retaliation and then it could all escalate into MAD. I don't think anyone is quite mad enough to press the button. And in real life of course there isn't a button - there are checks and balances. Maybe not in North Korea but I don't think even Putin literally has a button on his desk marked "Nuke the West" which he could press on a whim.
No one can explain the movement of the Moon in that clip.I'm not sure I particularly believe it. Obviously if it was moving that fast then you'd see that everywhere so why don't you test for yourself?
Suspiciously, no one anywhere ever uses them! Wow! It must be because humanity is so strong willed and moralNo, it's because of the consequences of using them.
There are a multitude of alternative explanations for the existence of GPS.OK. And which of those do you believe and what is your evidence for it?
RE-adherents have a terrible habit of blatantly ignoring the willful, open disinformation campaigns waged by world-wide governments and corporations since the dawn of timeI don't think anyone believes that governments or corporations are shining beacons of truth or integrity.
and simply state the space race is real, cause "daddy told me so," or the "New York Times reports..."Well, no. I've seen a shuttle launch. I've listed above the other pieces of evidence I've seen and evaluated.
I've wondered about this. Did every person who claim to be a Zetetist personally test the COVID vaccine before they got it? Have they performed all the research and experiments for Global Warming before they accepted it as true?Firstly, it's just bizarre that Tom thinks it's in some way fishy that NASA would award contracts to 3rd parties and then want some oversight or governance on what they're doing. Does he think they just go "here's 200 million dollars, tell us when it's on the moon!". Of course there's some governance on what the contractor is doing with the money.
I've come to realize that Zeteticism means that information that I already believe is true, or that I want to believe is true, is true. If I don't believe it, then there's no reason to investigate further. The mere fact that I don't believe something is evidence that it is not true. It isn't a philosphy of believe what you see, it's a philosophy of see what you believe and ignore everything else.
It's very child-like, almost magical thinking.
The list you provided only claims "space travel" as a reason for their development...like thermometers wouldn't exist unless space travel happened...It's claimed that a certain type of thermometer was developed as part of the research for the space race - obviously thermometers existed before space travel existed.
C'mon...
A fair amount of technology and products were developed because of the space race.QuoteWe have multiple technologies which very much rely on it being real.I could be wrong, but I think AATW cannot provide one instance of any piece of technology relying on space travel as a reason for existence (i.e., "The reason "whatchamacallit" exists is due to space travel.")
Well, no-one. But I accept the claim. I've watched some video of the landing and it orbiting the moon but I don't feel the need to inspect it or micro-analyse every frame of it.a new opportunity to inspect the claim.Inspect away! Who's stopping you?
Maybe. What do you propose? You just keep saying "inspect" and "investigate", but what specifically do you want us to do (presumably free of charge), and why aren't you doing it yourself. I think part of the problem is that you're asking us to veer away from Zeteticism. We're primarily interested in exploring the phenomena around us, and it sounds to me that you expect us to read a news article and emptily debate it.I've covered the why aren't I doing it above. I've suggested some things above which could be done.
and you're expressing frustration that they're not playing ball with you.I'm just surprised that more effort isn't put in to this. OK, going in to space isn't that accessible, but you can go see rocket launches for yourself (easier for those in the US, admittedly). With decent optics you can see the ISS. Most FE people seem to just put it all in one big box marked "FAKE" and leave it at that.
