(1,138 posts)80's, 90's, etc. How often the pundits would say that corruption, lack of transparency, and lack of regulation were the causes. If the maga 80% of the Republican party gets control again I think that the same will be said about the US.

(21,630 posts)In Argentina's case, finance was deeply deregulated in '77 - a year after their last coup - and by '81 over $30 billion in new foreign debt was taken on, mainly to finance the dollarizing (and offshoring) of assets by elites.
Elites who, of course, installed the regime in the first place. Many of their children and grandchildren, in fact, are dictatorship apologists to this day - Trump's pal Mauricio Macri (who caused another such debt bubble crisis in 2018) most notably among them.
The country never crawled out from that debt crisis in '81 - and as you can imagine, most payments since then have only covered the interest.
And now, as you know, Republicans are trying to cause a debt default here at home. I can't help but recall that vulture fund boss Paul Singer was in talks with Eric Cantor during their last attempt at this in 2011.
The whole idea is unconscionable.

(4,361 posts)and I think the last movie I saw in a theatre was 'cool hand luke'--
my ancient father dragged me to it, and I had heard of it of course--
but I think we both supposed it was a 'cowboy movie' from the title! LOL
it was a crazy special replay at the time, of course. I think the other last time
I saw a movie in a theatre was for 'farenheit' from Michael Moore...
I still have no urge to attend a movie theatre, with all those unmasked covid incubators--
and prefer to watch older classic movies on my dvd player....
today I was watching "Never Cry Wolf"--- that one is incredible. I love wolves.
