So tell me Sup Forums, when Donald Trump says "Make America Great Again" what time is he referring to in which America was last "Great" and everything was at its highest peak? I must know to get an idea of what to look forward to.
Idk about you cunts but personally I feel relief and I can rest easy now since yesterday for some reason. Huge urge to work harder and do better in life too.
So tell me Sup Forums...

search on old economy steve memes for an idea of how great it used to be.
Kayden Long
He is clearly referencing the last time it was great, DUUUHHH. Fucking shill
Ayden Campbell
The 50's.
We all fucking know it, so we might as well just come out and say it.
Anthony Myers
You're confusing "great" with "perfect" you daft cunt.
Ayden Ramirez
The last 30 years have not been so good for us. This is what we got:
Trillions in debt
Millions of additional niggers from every third world fuckhole imaginable
Massive increase in divorce
Numerous failed wars
Mass drug addiction
Pulled hard left in politics
So basically any time would be greater than now, but I think he's referencing our peak years, which was the era right before the late 60s/70s leftist uprising. That period did us in good.
Isaiah Price
Pre-NAFTA, mostly.
Joseph Miller
Do you think any of those problems were caused by ONE specific incident? A better question is, do you think ANYTHING could reverse those problems without causing larger ones?
If you answered yes to either one of those questions, you need to finish your online GED.

Brayden Johnson
50s.
Women were wives. Men were men. The economy was booming. We'd just come out of a war.
But in 10 short years cultural marxism had gripped the nation and the hippies and sexual revolution started.
The niggers can keep their rights, I don't want to take them away. I just want them to do better. And they have proven time and time again to be incapable of doing this. So now I just want them to stay in their ghettos and shoot each other over stupid shit.
Elijah Campbell
Anyone on pol who thinks this shit can be fixed is a tryhard, I think we all just want to watch shit go down the gutter. Being right just feels that good.
Caleb Scott
Basically the era between the end of WWII and sometime in the mid-late 60s.
Trouble is we were riding a post-war wave then. We had just won the war and were the only large industrialized nation with it's factories up and running and enough people with know-how to run them.
I don't really know how to recreate that.

Anyone who thinks it can't be fixed is just ignorant.
Is it possible to build a space elevator today?
Yes:
youtube.com
The key idea is the Orbital Ring version of the space elevator, not the geosynchronous tether concept you are familiar with.
See, for example, Paul Birch's writings:
orionsarm.com
The orbital ring only requires tethers about 300 kilometers long which is technically feasible with common material like steel, but ridiculously straightforward with better and already available material like kevlar.
Eli Sullivan
You're only embarrassing yourself.
William Murphy
There are some important questions. First, how much would it cost to do something like this?
We need to send about 160 million kilograms of material into space (See Birch's boot strap estimates in part 2: orionsarm.com
We have rockets available at $2000/kg costs to LEO today in "mass production" mode, which is only about 10-20 launches per year. Compared with the couple thousand launches necessary for a space elevator, $2000 is an unreasonably high upper bound for launch costs.
We also need to include the cost of materials. A space elevator is about 98% steel and aluminum, 1% kevlar, and 1% other such as superconducting magnets. Most of the mass (98%) cost around $1/kg, with an average cost per kilogram of no more than about $10 per kilogram.
Summing the above up, we get about $430 billion in launch costs plus another $1-2 billion in material costs.
In other words, we can have a space elevator for less than $450 billion - significantly less than one year worth of DoD spending, one bank bailout, many times less than a variety of pointless wars, etc. This is well within our reach financially in other words.
Jaxon Campbell
What do we get in return for this $450 billion investment?
Virtually unlimited value. For example, with a space elevator we can reliably launch our nuclear waste into the sun. We've spent $100 billion building a waste repository in Nevada, but it was ultimately decided not to even use it. Now it costs only a dollar or two per kilogram to get rid of all of the nuclear waste in the world.
Second, we have immediate access to viable asteroid mining industry. Because the cost of delivering payloads to LEO drops to about $1/kilogram, we can not retrieve asteroids with trillions of dollars worth of minerals for mere tens millions of dollars in addition to having an easy viable way of returning those resources back to the surface.
We acquire the ability to deploy profitable solar power in orbit above cloud cover and with the ability to return said power back to the surface with near zero loss by running power transmission cables down the elevator.
Just how profitable?
With increased luminosity in space, enhanced exposure time, and the ability to deliver base loads, solar panels pay for themselves in only 1-2 years while having a 20 year life time.
In other words, if you put $5 trillion of solar panels into space, you get your $5 trillion back by the end of year two and a $5 trillion income stream each year thereafter.
In other words, the US could cut everyone's taxes, both personal and business, income, capital, death, or otherwise, all to 0%, not even cut any benefits or current spending, and pay off the national debt within a decade.
Charles Perez
It should already be obvious that the entirety of the political debate spectrum is cointelpro.
Are taxes too high or too low? Irrelevant, we don't actually need taxes.
Is social spending bankrupting us? Irrelevant, we can retire the national debt without cutting spending all while having no tax whatsoever.
What does this have to do with taking the red pill?
We've had the technological ability to undertake such a project for decades.
That means all the squabbling you have heard your entire life, money, debt, spending, taxes, scarcity, whatever, is all bullshit. Not only is it bullshit, anyone with rudimentary knowledge of the world has known that it is all bullshit for all of this time.
In other words, once you come to understand the such a project is and has been technically feasible for decades, you have to reevaluate many things.
Why is there nothing of this in the conspiracy media? They are not really trying to expose or solve any problems. One hundred percent of it is cointelpro. From the Young Turks to Infowars or whatever, they are all completely full of shit because solutions to our problems not only exist, are easy to carry out, but this has been the case for a very long time.
Similarly, you now know that 20%+ annual GDP growth is possible. If Trump gives you 3-4% instead of Obama's 2%, he is simply working with the establishment to try to placate and subvert a rising tide. If we see the easily achievable 20%+ growth rates, it is at least possible that he isn't a subversive. Anything less and you know he is a fraud.

Do you think Trump is going to support a mega proposal such as yours?
