If anyone wants to see the content of this thread, the "jamming" or "spamming" from forum member "randye" can be defeated by using your browser's string search function to find occurrences of the search string "rinselberg" (without the quotation marks, of course) in the scrollable display area.

Most of the content comes towards the beginning of this very first page, but if anyone were to go with what I just said, they could find their way to another morsel (or two) of content that would otherwise not be so easy to find, because of all of the stupid spam.



A coalition is coalescing around the Industrial Finance Corporation Act of 2021, sponsored by 7 U.S. Senators, all Democrats.

Extrapolating from a press release from May 18, Republican Senator Marco Rubio might be among those who would support this bill,

Atlantic Magazine staff writer Robinson Meyer has given the idea a "thumbs up."

quote The decline of American manufacturing is one of those problems that everyone knows about, but that nobody seems to know how to fix. Tariffs and tax credits have failed to much improve the situation. Instead, we hear excuses: Labor is too expensive in the United States, or energy is too costly. (In fact, some of the richest countries in Europe have no problem maintaining a manufacturing sector, and the U.S. enjoys significantly lower electricity costs than China.) Perhaps the problem is simpler: The U.S. doesn’t have a high-end manufacturing sector because nobody will finance one. Small and medium-size American companies now struggle to borrow the billions of dollars necessary to finance a new factory, especially if those loans take 10 or 20 years to pay out. “The U.S. financial system isn’t very good at funding things that have very modest returns and take a long time for those returns to be realized,” Nahm said. You could be the most talented engineer of your generation and launch an advanced battery start-up out of MIT, he said, and you would still battle to obtain the $3 billion needed to finance a new production line. More established firms cannot access “patient capital” either, he said: Where they once would have borrowed from local banks, many of those institutions have since been absorbed into national chains.

So now you've sunk down to starting another thread by copying and pasting the exact same garbage that you already copied and pasted in the other thread.

That's a whole new, very weird, level of attention whoring.


I guess I can also repeat what I said in the other thread just so this little "groundhog day", repetitive nonsense, is complete....


Hey! Heres a great idea. Why don't YOU contact your "7 Demorat Senators" and tell THEM to cough up $7 BILLION each OF THEIR OWN DAMN MONEY for their fairy, dust, unicorn farts and magic beans bank and stay the hell out of the taxpayer's wallets.


You Leftists are always so damn eager to risk and spend OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY.

For someone who seldom starts a New Topic himself, forum member "randye" is oddly (and manically) "all over" the few forum members that do.

Tell everyone why you think that the forum rules somehow don't apply to you.
