Bread and circuses" is a metonymic phrase referring to superficial appeasement. It is attributed to Juvenal, a Roman poet active in the late first and early second century AD, and is used commonly in cultural, particularly political, contexts. In a political context, the phrase means to generate public approval, not by excellence in public service or public policy, but by diversion, distraction, or by satisfying the most immediate or base requirements of a populace, by offering a palliative: for example food or entertainment.

So you were trying to suggest I'd made a violent threat. You denied that you had and then you specifically provided a definition that proves that's what you were doing.

It's actually psychotic to accuse me of having made a veiled (violent) threat with this post:



@BadIdeaGuy , do you see a veiled threat in the post? I never name call on this site. This is the first time that someone has gone fully delusional on me in my 12 years on this site.

I don’t recall ever having to delete a post of yours, and I certainly don’t see any threat in that post.

Considering that the other poster suggested you didn’t finish the sixth grade, I’d say it’s a little hypocritical if he’s trying to point out TOS violations on your part.

Not all his fault. He did the best he could. Greedy sellouts had their say. Our leverage was exposed. Or am I wrong on this? Think back a month on Greenland and Panama Canal and it starts to click..

Yes they knew something was wrong and couldn’t put a finger on it. Their $ shrunk then they woke up. It became America time again but the clock already struck. Is the call coming? I’ll ask again is it gonna ring?

Negotiate trade deals? I thought the goal was to bring manufacturing back home ?

7 trillion dollars says yes

 

[newfie]

How can you bring back manufacturing given the high costs of raw materials and components? How can America make up for the lack of engineering skills and infrastructure?

tariff avoidance brings it back

The critique of "bread and circuses" as mere superficial appeasement overlooks its potential as a pragmatic tool for social stability. While Juvenal's phrase highlights the risk of distracting the populace from deeper issues, providing basic needs like food or communal entertainment can foster cohesion and prevent unrest in times of crisis. Rather than solely a manipulative tactic, such measures can reflect a government's responsiveness to immediate human needs, creating space for longer-term reforms. Dismissing these efforts as shallow ignores their role in maintaining order and morale, which can be foundational for meaningful progress

145 percent tariff on the chinese says otherwise. a better title might be "I made the libs cry"

Biden’s last day in office the s&p 500 was 5,975.38

Today the s&p 500 is 5,363.36

Just because a media headline says stocks “soared” doesn’t mean it’s “gained”.

It just means it a lot higher from the place Trump dropped it to.

The post this conversation initially started with is that the Dems cried the days the stock market dropped and then immediately cried the “day” the stock market went up! This is not about the overall stock market price. This is about the daily crying of Democrats on the ”day” the market drops and then again the “day” the market goes up.

Is this really that hard to understand?

great song some of the lyrics that apply to that song

If you truly wish to be
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanna change the world?
There's nothing to it

The stock market didn’t go up, not something worth bragging about at least

If you lose $20 and then find $5 of it later, you didn’t make $5, you still lost $15
